LUKE 13:32 The Pharisees came, saying to Yahshua. “Get out and depart from here for Herod wants to kill you.”
And Yahshua said to them, “Go tell that fox, ‘Behold I cast out demons and perform cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I shall be perfected.’ “Nevertheless, I must journey today, tomorrow and the day following; for it cannot be that a prophet should die outside of Jerusalem.
“Oh Jerusalem; the one who kills the prophets and stones those that are sent to her!”
Yahshua knew that he was going to be handed over to the Roman authorities and crucified.
This was the fate of the prophets of Judea because they were now under the white heathens.
It was also written in such books as Daniel that when the Saviour would first emerge, his life would be cut short. ‘…on the wing of abominations, shall be one who makes desolate, even until the consummation (of the Prince), which is determined.’.
Judas Iscariot, one of Yahshua’s 12 chosen disciples, sold Yahshua out to the chief priests of Israel.
The Pharisees had conspired with Herod and manipulated the elders, scribes and leaders of Israel to follow the king’s decree and capture Yahshua.
Judas was given some money in return for selling Yahshua out.
He came with a multitude of men with clubs and swords and betrayed Yahshua with a kiss, and when Yahshua saw all this, he said, “I was daily with you in the temple teaching, but you did not seize me.
“But the scriptures must be fulfilled.”
Yahshua did not resist or fight, and once he was handed over to the Roman authorities, his fate was sealed.
When taken to Pilate, he did not beg for his life or mercy, but he simply kept quiet. For this reason, Yahshua was often referred to as a lamb, because a lamb does not cry out when it is being slaughtered.
Even Herod found no fault in Yahshua after finally meeting him in person. However, the Pharisees and scribes were the recognised leaders of the Judeans and if they denounced anyone, then the authorities would have to act.
Yahshua succumbed to the barbarism of the Romans and was brutally executed and left to die on the cross.
There was a sign put above him written ‘King of the Judeans’ and he was crowned with a crown of thorns.
After Yahshua’s death, his popularity increased and his disciples continued his teachings.
People, both Israelite and gentile were touched and inspired by Yahshua’s faith, which he did not compromise till his death.
In fact, Yahshua never portrayed his own death as something significant, for it was ordained and he often spoke of his return on the third day.
But as we all know, the followers of Yahshua are still awaiting his return centuries after.
The Quran tells us that to Allah, one day is equivalent to 1 000 years.
Yahshua often said he would rise on the third day, and seeing that he lived 2 000 years ago, we perhaps should be expecting his return anytime now.
This is also perhaps why many thought Judgment Day would be in year 2000.
What is interesting is that the prophecy of the coming of the black Messiah is found in all major world religions, including Hinduism, Buddhism and Islam and not just Christianity.
In actual fact, Christianity is just about the only religion which portrays the Saviour as a white man or a non-African, and this is because Western Christianity is not a religion which was inspired by Christ, but it is a heathen religion whose founders not only rejected Christ, but also had a role in killing him.
After the execution of John and Yahshua, the black Judeans became more and more restless.
Even Peter who was one of Yahshua’s disciples was later killed by the Romans after continuing Yahshua’s teachings.
In 66 CE the blacks of Judea finally rebelled against the Pharisees and their Roman masters.
By this time Rome was being ruled by an Emperor called Nero and he dispatched an army under General Vespasian so as to restore order.
Emperor Nero had his mother killed by the Romans for reportedly exposing hidden truths of the law and history of the black Israelites.
And since the occupation of Judea by the white people, the conspiracy to bury the truth about the heroism of black people and their dealings with God has been thorough.
By 68 CE, resistance in the northern part of the province had been calmed down and the Romans focused on the subjugation of Jerusalem.
That same year, Emperor Nero suffered a sudden death, and in the resultant chaos, General Vespasian was declared Emperor of Rome.
Vespasian had a son named Titus, and it was Titus who led the remaining army in the assault on Jerusalem.
The Roman forces, under Titus, surrounded the city of Jerusalem and began to slowly squeeze the life out of the stronghold of the black Judeans.
By the year 70 CE, the Roman attackers had breached Jerusalem’s outer walls and began a systematic ransacking of the city.
The assault by the Romans resulted in the burning and destruction of the temple of Jerusalem which had been built by the black hero, King Solomon, a thousand years earlier.
Before he died, David the father of Solomon did the initial plans of the temple which took King Solomon 13 years to complete.
The temple was once burned down by Nebuchadnezzar when the northern kingdom of Israel was destroyed and the survivors dispersed in the 7th century BCE.
The temple was then rebuilt by Jeshua and Zerrubabel.
The latter was also an ancestor of Yahshua. Between 20 BCE – 68 CE, Herod and later Herod Antipas also built some structures over the temple of Jerusalem and all this labour and investment was put to utter waste when the temple was finally burnt down by the Romans.
The Judeans wept as they watched their holy site being destroyed. The Romans slaughtered thousands of black Judeans.
Most of the slain were peaceful citizens, weak and unarmed, and they were butchered wherever they were found.
A witness to the destruction wrote saying; “The heap of corpses mounted higher and higher about the altar; a stream of blood flowed down the temple’s steps, and the bodies of those slain at the top slipped to the bottom.”
Of those spared from death, thousands were enslaved and sent to toil in the mines of Egypt, others were dispersed to arenas throughout the Empire to be butchered for the amusement of the public.
The temple’s sacred relics were taken to Rome, where they were displayed in celebration of the victory.
While the Temple was ablaze, the attackers plundered it, and countless people who were caught by them were slaughtered.
There was no pity for age and no regard was paid to rank, children and old men, laymen and women alike were butchered.
Every class was pursued and crushed in the assault, whether they cried out for mercy or offered resistance.
The rebellion went on for another three years and finally ended in 73 CE with the fall of the various remaining pockets of resistance from the black Judeans.
Before Yahshua’s crucifixion he warned the blacks of Judea saying; “When you see the abomination of desolation standing in the holy place, then let those in Judea flee to the mountains.”
The black Judeans who survived fled into Africa and Arabia and there were no more black Judeans left in the land of Judea.
