Now I Know Why Jesus Wept - Paperback

by Rhonda Denise Johnson (Editor), Angela Duckett Byrd (Editor), Patricia McQueen (Author)

This book is the story of a people whose time has come. Their time has come to finish the work that God had originally set them aside to do. Who are these people? These people are Black America - the descendants of the Slaves who were brought to America on ships. These Slaves were the descendants of the original Hebrews of the Bible. See how they ended up on the Slave Coast of Africa.God made a covenant with the Hebrews in which they were supposed to tell the world about Him, and He promised to always meet their needs and protect them. They broke that covenant because they wanted to be like the rest of the world, which worshipped idols. They only wanted God when they were in trouble. They knew God, but did not want Him around.God told Moses, their leader, to tell the Hebrews the following: "I will raise up for them a Prophet (Jesus Christ) like you from among their brethren, and will put My words in His mouth, and He shall speak to them all that I command Him. And it shall be that whoever will not hear My words, which He speaks in My name, I will require it of him (Deuteronomy 18:18-19 New King James Version).Yet when Jesus came, they did not know Him: "But as He came closer to Jerusalem and saw the city ahead, HE BEGAN TO WEEP. 42 'How I wish today that you of all people would understand the way to peace. But now it is too late, and peace is hidden from your eyes' " (Luke 19:41-42 New Living Translation).Because of disobedience to God, they brought many calamities on themselves and their descendants. God sent His son Jesus Christ specifically to redeem the Hebrews first. However, they rejected the Savior. "He came to His own and His own received Him not" (John 1:11 New King James Version).Therefore, God diminished His chosen people and covered their eyes, gave them a spiritual blindness for a while. Then, God sent Jesus to the Gentiles (people who were not Hebrews). He said He would raise the Hebrews up again when the full number of Gentiles had been saved. (Romans 11:7-12, 25). I was inspired to write the story of my Black people, because our history before Slavery in America has been told by others in such a way as to hide the truth of who we are.Now the age of the Gentiles is just about over, and God is beginning to raise the original Hebrews up to finish the work He started in them. We are the ones the world has been waiting for. We are the ones to usher in Jesus Christ. See what God is saying to our people now!This book will take you back through our history and give evidence to show that we, Black America, are the original Hebrews of the Bible. The scriptures that you read and other references will bear this out.
