Disclaimer: I realize that not all the sects of The Black Hebrew Israelite movement have the belief that all Caucasians are the devil and that they don’t have a chance at salvation, so this doesn’t apply to you. This message is for those who believe that salvation is only limited to them. So we will be addressing if Scripture supports this belief that Caucasians and many are races don’t have a chance to make it into the kingdom and also defining who an Edomite really is. I pray you watch or this this in its entirety before coming based off the title alone, because this is a serious issue.
I have seen many within this racist movement discourage other believers and make them feel like they aren’t worthy and that they have no hope in our wonderful Messiah YESHUA, and I this is a dangerous thing to do. It saw a very disturbing to video of this movement condemning white people and Ethiopians who were preaching the gospel and running them off of the corner. What if this kind of behavior discourages them from every preaching the gospel again?
Titus 3:9
“But keep away from foolish questions, and GENEOALGIES, and strife and quarrels about the Torah, for they are unprofitable and useless.”
Yet, many of them will ask people what tribe of you from? And if they aren’t black they will say “You aren’t Yisra’el and have no chance to make it into the Kingdom”. This is why Paul wrote this because he understood that your bloodline will not save you. Due to Yisra’els disobedience to His Commands He brought salvation to the gentiles as well.
Deuteronomy 32:21
“They have provoked Me to jealousy with that which is not ELOHIM, they have exasperated Me with their idols; and I will provoke them to jealousy with them that are no nation, I will anger them with a nation void of understanding (gentiles).”
Salvation is for anyone who keeps the commands of YAHWEH and believes in His Son YESHUA as we see the criteria written in Revelation 14:12:
Revelation 14:12
“Here is the endurance of the saints, here are THOSE (anyone) guarding the Commands of YAHWEH and belief of YESHUA.”
And John the Baptist understood this as well:
Mathew 3:7-10
“And seeing many of the Pharisees and Sadducees coming to his immersion, he said to them, “Brood of adders! Who has warned you to flee from the coming wrath? Bear, therefore, fruits worthy of repentance, and do not think to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as father.’ For I say to you that ELOHIM is able to raise up children of Abraham from these stones.”
John the Baptist told the Pharisees that it did not matter that they were the children of Abraham by blood if they did not bear fruits worthy of repentance, because ELOHIM could raise up the seed of Abraham from stones, and He did by allowing the gentiles to be grafted into the nation of Yisra’el.
Acts 10:9-15
“And on the next day, as they were on their way and approaching the city, Peter went up on the house-top to pray, about the sixth hour. And he became hungry and wanted to eat. But while they were preparing, he fell into a trance and he saw the heavens opened and a certain vessel like a great sheet bound at the four corners, descending to him and let down to the earth, in which were all kinds of four-footed beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and creeping creatures, and the birds of the heavens. And a voice came to him, “Rise up Peter, slay and eat.” But Peter said, “Not at all, My Master! Because I have never eaten whatever is common or unclean.” And a voice came to him again the second time, “What ELOHIM has cleansed you do not consider common.” Verse 28 And he said to them, “You know that a Jew is not allowed to associate with, or go to one of another race. But ELOHIM has shown me that I should not call any man COMMON OR UNCLEAN.”
So here is a clear picture of a vision that YESHUA gave to Peter that the gentiles are to receive salvation along with the Jews and to not call a man that He has created common or unclean. So the question is, why is this Hebrew movement calling others common or unclean, which YESHUA clearly said NOT to do?
Salvation for ALL
Testament of Levi 2:9-12 (12 Patriarchs)
“And I said to the messenger, ‘Why is it like this? And the messenger said to me, ‘Do not marvel at this, for you will see another heaven more brilliant and incomparable. And when you have ascended there, you will stand near YAHWEH, and will be His minister. And you will declare His mysteries to men, and will proclaim concerning Him that will redeem Yisra’el. And by you and Judah will YAHWEH appear among men, SAVING EVERY RACE OF MEN.”
This is a clear prophecy that YESHUA would come to die and bring salvation for every race of men, not just the black race. But that’s not all there is plenty of evidence to support this.
Acts 10:34-35
“And opening his mouth, Peter said, “Truly I see that ELOHIM shows NO PARTIALITY, but in EVERY NATION, he who reverse Him and works righteousness is accepted by Him.”
Peter says ELOHIM does not show favoritism towards the native-born, but in ANY NATION, as long as you fear YAHWEH and keep His commandments then you are accepted by Him.
Revelation 7:9-10
“After this I looked and saw a great crowd which no one was able to count, out of ALL NATIONS AND TRIBES AND PEOPLES AND TONGUES, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, dressed in white robes, and palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, saying, “Deliverance belongs to our ELOHIM who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!”
Again, we see a clear picture of ALL nations, tribes, and languages that have overcome the tribulation standing before YAHWEH and YESHUA, which agrees with The Testament of Levi and Peter. This scripture doesn’t say the Caucasian is excluded from this at all, and it doesn’t say that only black people are in the presence of our ELOHIM! We clearly see EVERY NATION!
2 Esdras 2:34-35
“And therefore I say unto you, “O you GENTILES that hear and understand, look for your Shepherd (YESHUA), He shall give you everlasting rest, for He is near at hand, who shall come at the end of the world. Be ready for the reward of the reign, for the everlasting light shall shine upon you forever.”
We see this scripture plainly says the gentiles who are grafted in need to look for The Shepherd and that He would give them rest and be ready for the reward of the reign which is everlasting life. This scripture ties in with what YESHUA said in John:
John 10:16
“And other sheep I have which are not of this fold (gentiles)-I have to bring them as well, and they shall hear My voice, and there shall be one flock and one Shepherd.”
Exodus 12:37
“And the children of Yisra’el departed from Ramses to Sukkot about six hundred thousand men on foot, besides the little ones. And a MIXED MULTITUDE WENT WITH THEM TOO, also flocks and herds, very much livestock.”
We see that when Yisra’el left Egypt that a mixed multitude of gentiles went with them, which would mean that when the 10 commandments were given at Mount Sinai that the native-born Yisra’elites and the gentiles were standing together to hear the words. Yes, they have been grafted in since the beginning.
Romans 11:24
“For if you were cut out of the olive tree which is wild by nature, and were grafted contrary to nature into a good olive tree, how much more shall these who are the natural, be grafted into their own olive tree? For I do not want you to be ignorant of this secret, brothers, lest you should be wise in your own estimation, that hardening in part has come over Yisra’el, until the completeness of the gentiles has come in. Verse 32 For ELOHIM has shut them all up in disobedience in order to have compassion on ALL.”
Ephesians 2:17-20
“And having come, He brought as Good News peace to you who were far off (gentiles), and peace to those near. Because through Him we both have access to the Father by one Spirit. So then you are NO LONGER STRANGERS AND FOREIGNERS, but FELLOW CITIZENS with the saints and MEMBERS OF THE HOUSEHOHLD OF ELOHIM, having been built upon the foundation of the emissaries and prophets, YESHUA ha’Mashiach Himself being chief cornerstone…”
Do you see the correlation? In both scriptures YESHUA is referred to as a Shepherd that will lead the gentiles; and YESHUA tells us that there will be one flock (one faith) and one Shepherd (which is YESHUA leading and guiding the flock of native-born and gentiles grafted in as one.)
Exodus 12:48 (Septuagint)
“And if any proselyte (a person who has converted from one religion to another) comes to you to keep the Passover to YAHWEH, you shall circumcise every male of his and then he shall approach to sacrifice it and he shall BE EVEN AS THE ORIGINAL INHABITANT OF THE LAND (native-born); no uncircumcised person shall eat of it.”
Deuteronomy 29:10-15
“All of you are standing today before YAHWEH your ELOHIM: your leaders, your tribes, your elders and your officers, all the men of Yisra’el, your little ones, your wives, and your SOJOURNER who is in the midst of your camp, from the one who cuts your wood to the one who draws your water, so that you should enter into Covenant with YAHWEH your ELOHIM makes with you today, in order to establish you today as a people for Himself, and He Himself be your ELOHIM, as He has spoken to you, as He has sworn to your ancestors, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
As we see Moses was talking to the native-born and sojourning gentiles who were in the midst of the camp when YAHWEH made a Covenant with them all. The first thing Moses said is “All of you are standing before YAHWEH”
Ezekiel 47:22
“And it shall be that you divide it by lot as an inheritance for yourselves, and for the STRANGERS WHO SOJOURN in your midst and who bear children among you. And they shall be to you as NATIVE-BORN among the children of Yisra’el-with you they have an inheritance in the midst of the tribes of Yisra’el.”
All Caucasians going to hell?
So firstly, let us address the fact that they claim that all Caucasians are going to hell. The main crutch of their belief is that they call Caucasians “Edomites” saying that they are descendants of Esaw and they will quote the following scripture:
Genesis 25:25
“And the first came out reddish all over, like a hairy garment, so they called his name Esaw.”
So we Esaw was red and hairy which is how he received his name and there is no mention of the word Edomite until we go down to verse 30 of the same chapter which says:
Genesis 25:29-30
“And Jacob cooked a stew, and Esaw came in from the field, and he was weary. And Esaw said to Jacob, “Please feed me with that same red stew, for I am weary.” THAT IS WHY HIS NAME WAS CALLED EDOM.”
Esaw was called Edom due to the red stew that he ate and despised his birthright AND NOT because of the color of his skin and the Book of Jubilees confirms this:
Jubilees 24:5-6
“And Jacob said, “Swear to me today,” and he swore to him. And Jacob gave his brother Esaw bread and soup, and he ate until he was satisfied, and Esaw despised his birthright; FOR THIS REASON ESAW’S NAME WAS CALLED EDOM, ON THE ACCOUNT OF THE RED SOUP WHICH JACOB GAVE HIM FOR HIS BIRTHRIGHT.”
So after reading the scripture in context the whole doctrine of a white man being Edom based off the color of his skin is false. We can see this scripture had nothing to do with race but food; and that Esaw despised his birthright that is why he was called an Edomite.
Deuteronomy 23:7
“Do not LOATHE AN EDOMITE, for HE IS YOUR BROTHER. Do not loathe an Egyptian, because you were a stranger in his land.”
That means they are doing the opposite of what YAHWEH told them to do by loathing their brother. Furthermore, how did YESHUA define a brother or sister?
Mathew 12:50
“For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is My brother and sister and mother.”
So how can any racist Hebrew Israelite disqualify a Caucasian man or woman who is doing the will of YAHWEH who is considered a brother or sister?
And since they say the Edomites are white and cursed, then why does YAHWEH call the Edomites their brother? So even if the Hebrews are black, then that means Esaw is a different shade of black like being light skinned for example, because Jacob and Esaw are blood brothers, so it doesn’t make sense that one brother would be born white and the other clinging to his heal would be black. The Black race has many shades of black one can be light skinned and the other can be a darker brown within the same family. Furthermore, how does YESHUA define a brother?
Can you be racist and enter into the Kingdom?
In scripture racism did not exist, man created it. People in scripture were known by their tribes or nation and not the color of their skin. They were called Yisra’elites, Ammonites, Moabites, Philistines or that is “David son of Jessie etc.” Our Father YAHWEH and His Son are not racist; therefore, no man on this earth should be.
The Oxford English Dictionary (2nd edition, 1989) defines racism as “belief in the superiority of a particular race.” And we know that those that are racist have a hate and disgust for the race they are directing it towards because they feel like they are better than the other. Look no further than the KKK as a clear example for this. Racism is hatred, and hatred is an act of the flesh, and the flesh will not inherit the reign of ELOHIM as Paul quotes:
Galatians 5:19-21
“And the works of the FLESH are well-known, which are: adultery, whoring, uncleanness, indecency, idolatry, drug sorcery, HATRED, QUARRELS, jealousies, fits of rage, selfish ambitions, dissensions, factions, envy, murders, drunkenness, wild parties, and the like- of which I forewarn you, even as I also said before, that those who practice such as these SHALL NOT INHERIT THE REIGN OF ELOHIM.”
We see Paul lists hatred as an act of the flesh which racism qualifies as; and further he says “quarrels” which is a heated argument or debate as well. You can pull up videos and see them quarreling with others and provoking others that are not of their race telling them they are going to hell. Neither one of these actions they are doing are considered righteous.
Romans 5:18-19
“So then, as through one trespass there resulted condemnation to ALL MEN, so also through one righteous act there resulted righteous declaring of life to all men. For as through the disobedience of one many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the One many shall be made righteous.”
Paul says that the trespass of Adam brought condemnation to ALL MEN not some men, meaning that other nations of people had to be included into this group. Paul does not say that Adam’s transgression brought condemnation to “all black men”. The entire human race was made sinners but through the blood of YESHUA we all were redeemed.
Acts 17:26
“And He had made from ONE blood EVERY NATION of MEN to dwell on all the face of the earth, having ordained beforehand the times and boundaries of their dwelling…”
We are all descendants of Adam as YAHWEH has man all men from one blood, therefore there is no race but the HUMAN RACE. Repent and let the truth of the scriptures speak and realize that YAHWEH shows no partiality! Any nation, tribe, or language of people including Caucasians can be saved as long as they keep the commandments of YAHWEH and believe in His Son YESHUA!
Revelation 14:12
“Here is the endurance of the saints, here are those guarding the Commands of YAHWEH and belief of YESHUA.”
I plead with anyone who is involved with this movement to think about the soul that was lost by condemning them; when we are called to help win souls by bringing to them into the knowledge of the truth of our Savior YESHUA. If that person goes home and gets discouraged over thinking they have no hope at eternal life and they commit suicide, then that is a life that you will be held accountable for. Let the love of YESHUA speak and let the racism go and love your neighbor as yourself.
May our Father YAHWEH bless you all in YESHUA’s Name!
