When we take a stand for justice it creates change that has a rippling affect for decades to come. It inspires men and women to think in new ways and to gain greater understanding of the world around them. Consider the Hebrew Israelite movement of the last century, it stood up against the injustice of the prevailing historical errors concerning the people of black and Indian descent and challenged the status quo of mainstream Christianity.
They boldly spoke out and said that we have to see the Bible not just as a spiritual book, but also as an accurate historical text of mankind; not only of it's past, but it's present and future history. From this stance they stressed the need for a new and accurate designation of the ethnicity of the biblical Israelites today base on the Bible and the archaeological evidence that proves that the peoples call African-Americans, West Indians, and Native Americans are if fact the Israelites of the Bible.
They helped remove the hold of white supremacy and racism in mainstream Christianity in both the White church and the Black church. They took a direct assault on the chief image of white supremacy in the church, the image of a white Jesus, using the Bible as the primary evidence to expose the fallacy of this image. They proved that Christ was, is, and shall be at His advent a Black man, with woolly hair, skin like burnt brass, and eyes of fire( Rev. 1:13,14,15). They also demonstrated by the archaeological evidence of the early church in Europe itself; the supposed nucleolus of all things white, that the followers of Christ worshiped Him as a Black Hebrew Israelite and His mother, Mary, as a Black woman.
Their labors must be given credit, for it freed the minds of a generation destine to have impact on humanity and perhaps the last hope of humanity as the prophecies of the end of the ages continue to unfold. They look a bold and heroic stand for justice and truth that is positioned to affect the spirituality and interactions of people, and the outcome of events for generations to come.
Think about it.
