Black Resurrection

The purpose of this book is to reveal the real purpose of Easter, its significance to End-Time and the inclusive message of Jesus Christ, Messiah and Savior. In doing so, the real identity of Christ, his disciples, authors of the Bible and the founders of his universal church is revealed in terms of their roots, values and descendants. The true Christians revealed are among the "scorned" and least advantaged in society. Described is how the unjust holding the hegemony of money and power made Christianity in their image. Examined is their claim that they by virtue of money and power are the "blessed" and "just." Contrary to the commandments of the Creator and the life and message of the Son of God, they continue to exploit and victimize most of humanity and the environment. The extent of the distortion of the truth is made clear. Pope Francis messages of redemption, social and economic justice, fraternity, mercy, love and peace are presented collectively as the path toward salvation. Jesus' first and final return is described according to biblical scriptures with citations. The holiday, Easter, to celebrate his first return from death for our sins is detailed. The celebration's link to pagan traditions is revealed. The importance of this ritual is acknowledged. The second coming of Jesus is detailed according to biblical citation, as well. The final resurrection follows the seven prophecies identified, cited and described. They point toward the fulfillment in our times. The wide discrepancy between how early Christians, particularly in Europe, portrayed biblical figures and citations in the Bible and ethnocentric portrayal today is investigated. In the United States of America (USA) the race of biblical figures and authors has been purged and replaced by Nordic or Northern European people who hold hegemony over the Western World and its former colonies. Besides the modern xenophobia and racial scorn held by the hegemonic Westerners purging the messengers of the Gospel, they have used the message to subjugate the descendants of the original Israelites who were enslaved in America, segregated, dehumanized devaluated, demonized, profiled, miseducated, excessively incarcerated, and underdeveloped. This book explains the rationale for this racism and why revealing the truth can save the scorned and change Western attitudes to an era whereby "content of ones character" and "service to others" purges hegemonic-led racism and privilege at the expense of humanity. If race and color was not important in regards to Christianity, according to those holding hegemonies and their surrogates, why have Black Israelites, Egyptians and other African people of the Bible have been purged from its annuals and displace with images of their own descendants who were primarily living on the barbaric fringes of the Roman Empire in Europe. Ancient Israel and what we call the Middle East today was considered the Northeastern part of the African continent quite distant from the ancestral homelands of those holding hegemonies in the West. This book explains how the Indo-Europeans, including Arabs, conquered Northeast Africa claiming the land, civilization and religion as their own. The transformation was completed within the last 300 or 400 years. Christianity a religion designed to save all humanity became a religion that subjugates people of color and elevates those holding power to "divine-like" status on the basis of their socioeconomic status.
