    [ Deuteronomy 28:68 ] And the Lord shall bring Israel into Egypt again with ships and there Israel shall be sold to Israel’s enemies as slaves, and no man shall set Israel free; by the way of which I spoke to Israel, Israel shall see it no more.

    Believe it or not, we Black African in the diaspora of countries like America, Brazil,The United Kingdom, the islands, even India (via The Islamic version of robbing Africa of its people), are descendants of the Israelites The Lord God Yahweh said ( via his Prophet Moses ) would suffer this fate; because of our stubbornest and refusal to stick with Lord God Yahweh.

    And speaking of those descendants, will we ever be free ? Recently & once again the World recognized Martin-Luther King Jr. . On April 3, 1968, hours before he was murdered, he said (talking strictly to his disenfranchised Africans in America): “ ….We as a People Will get to the Promised Land “ . I believe that this was a prophecy of not only what would happen, but how it would happen. Going back to Deuteronomy 28:68 and adding it to MLK Jr.'s prophecy, here's what I get: a) No man shall set us free + b) We As A People shall get to the Promised Land = [ We shall set ourselves free, when we choose to become whole again. ] And how do we become whole again? By reclaiming our missing parts. What is stopping Africa from reclaiming its stolen people ?

    I believe that the times are approaching for Africa's redemption from: Poverty, Oppression, and Depression. [Daniel 11:14 ] And in those times there shall many nations come against the king of the south (Great Britain BABYLON ): ALSO the ROBBERS OF ISRAEL shall exalt themselves to establish the vision; BUT THE ROBBERS OF ISRAEL SHALL FALL !

    We are that Israel held in exiled & domestic captivity by Babvlon ( The United Kingdom) & It's Whore (America).

    Many of us Black Africans want to return to our Motherland. Reclaim your missing children Africa! As is sung in The Song of Africa, we sing God Bless Africa. How can God Bless Africa, when Africa won't Bless itself. There is an unlimited wealth of prosperity awaiting Africa, if Africa rejects the ways of Balaam and receive the Blessings Of Father Abraham, via Africa's Impoverished, Oppressed, Depressed Children. The question isn't : Investing in Africa - Is Brazil the New China? The question is Will Africa Invest In Africa ? Claim your heritage, claim your children Africa. We have trillions upon trillions in capital, expertise, and experience !!!
