How Do We Know Judah = American Blacks? Flashcards
What tribe are “so called” African-Americans from?
The Tribe of Judah. The same tribe Jesus Christ was from.
How do you know Judah is made up of “African-Americans” or Blacks?
Genesis 49:8-10
Genesis 49:8 KJVA
“Judah, thou art he whom thy brethren shall praise: thy hand shall be in the neck of thine enemies; thy father’s children shall bow down before thee.”
Judah will receive praise from his brothers (the other 11 tribes)
He is in very close quarters with his enemies. It is difficult for Judah to get away from these enemies (Esau primarily, as well as the other nations)
The other tribes will praise Judah (Zechariah 12:7)
Genesis 49:9
“Judah is a lion’s whelp: from the prey, my son, thou art gone up: he stooped down, he couched as a lion, and as an old lion; who shall rouse him up?”
Judah was like a young lion. He was very active in fighting against his enemies in the beginning (Black Panthers, Civil Rights Movement w/MLK, Malcolm X etc) but now he has become an old lion. The fighting spirit has left him and he needs to be roused up again.
Today Judah doesn’t have that same spirit, we often let tragedies go, or march without progress.
Genesis 49:10
“The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, not a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be.”
The sceptre or “power” will always be within the House of Judah, until the lawgiver or “Shiloh” which is Christ comes. Then the people will be gathered unto Christ.
“Judah is my lawgiver” Psalm 60:7
Deuteronomy 33:7
“And this is the blessing of Judah: and he said, Hear, Lord, the voice of Judah, and bring him unto his people: let his hands be sufficient for him, and be thou an help to him from his enemies.”
Judah is leading the awakening of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
