THE ORIGIN OF BLACK PEOPLE

  What I am about to write has nothing to do with race or racial discrimination or prejudice. But the time has come for the truth to be revealed as regards this phenomenon which has been the bane of contention for centuries.

Black people have suffered rudely, unjustly and wickedly because of the colour of their skin and their appearance. They have been made out to look poor, mentally bankrupt, physically dirty and unkempt, and not worthy of attention, accolades or taken seriously even when it's obvious that these people have gifts, talents, abilities and the spiritual, mental and physical capacity to be as good and even outshine their contemporaries of other skin colours. But like I have said, this is not about skin colour but about the truth of who we are and God's original plan for mankind through us.

Black people as we have seen or known from the beginning of documented knowledge and as it transcends modern contemporary times is linked to Africa and her peoples which spans all blacks from the East, West and South Africa on the African Continent, which is the modern or contemporary definition and description of "Black" or Negroid" in present times. 

Yet, I want us to go back in time to the actual origins of all human beings. Whether we like it or not, appreciate or acknowledge it or not, we are and were created by the LORD GOD Almighty as recorded in the Bible in Genesis 1-3.  Being Black is not just tied to a geographic region or entity. This is also not narrowed down to a particular race - Negroid; being"Black " is actually the original created first being on earth whom the Bible calls Adam. 

He was formed from the dust of the earth, which is brown in color and nature. Overtime as human beings interacted with their environment, the colour of their skin 'heightened' or 'paled'. In Geography, this is called environmental determinism. The first man God created was Adam, and he was brown(dark) skinned. 

The Bible records that God created man in His Own Image and Likeness. That means Adam who was brown or dark skinned was created in the image ot The Almighty God. This literally means that GOD is Brown or dark skinned also. So being 'black' is not a cultural or racial phenomenon; rather it certainly reveals the way GOD is: Black, His True Nature!  

Now, the account of Noah and the ark, and subsequently the flooding which God used to wipe away man and their wickedness, of which grew tremendously and filled the whole earth at the time, as recorded in the Book of Genesis Chapters 7, 8 & 9, potrays how God instructed Noah to build an ark which would protect Noah, his wife, his three sons and their wives also. God commanded Noah to take two of every kind of animal there was, both wild and domestic, and creeping, into the ark to replenish the earth after the great flood had come to an end. 

Genesis Chapter 10, gives an account of the generation of the sons of Noah, and their names are: Shem, Ham, Japheth. From these three sons of Noah, proceed humanity as we find on earth today. 

Now, let's break it down from here on. 

The generation of the sons of Noah can be seen in a detailed account in the Bible. The Book of Genesis 10: 32 says, "These are the families of the sons of Noah after their generations, in their nations; and by these were the nations divided in the earth after the flood".

Firstly, one fact has to be established, all humans presently on earth today proceeded from the loins of Noah by his three sons: Shem, Ham and Japheth.  Remember, the ark that God told Noah to build housed only eight people: Noah and his wife, Shem and his wife; Ham and his wife, Japheth and his wife. The other living creatures were animals.

So, therefore, from these three sons proceed all humanity as we see on earth today. It looks and seems unbelievable, and maybe almost impossible that everyone including you who is reading this post right now, and I, who is writing it, proceeded either from Shem, Ham or Japheth, depending on your ethnicity and nationality. These three sons gave birth to sons who gave birth to sons who gave birth to sons from the first generation to this present generation.

To break it down even further, all humans on earth right now, regardless of skin colour, are all related, whether we believe it or not; like it or not. And that's just the plain and solemn truth!

And so where do we begin...

If Noah, who was our common ancestor was descended from Adam, (who was the first man God created, and He formed him from the dust of the earth- (and the Earth's dust is the colour brown, this means that the first man, Adam, was a black man created by God Almighty in His image) was also a black man as his ancestor Adam was, and all descendants of Adam prior to the great flood.
