By the Rivers of Babylon

John 8:32 [The truth shall make you free] 

If we, Black, Latin, Native Americans, want salvation and liberation we have to accept that we are Israelites and confess and forsake our sins in the name of Christ 

Psalms 137:1- 3 

1 [By the rivers of Babylon, there we sat down, yea, we wept, when we remembered Zion.] 

King David was a prophet 

When he said this he was prophetically speaking of two things 

America 

Ezekiel 1:1 [Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I was among the captives by the river of Chebar, that the heavens were opened, and I saw visions of God.] 

Ezekiel was on his way to Babylon 

Fourth month = Tammuz (Wikipedia) 

In the spirit King David is speaking of Babylon the Great (America) 

The meaning of Zion 

1 Kings 8:1 – Zion referred to the city of David (Jerusalem), where all the twelve tribes gathered who believed and followed the Most High God 

When we came to America, we wept when we remembered our homeland Jerusalem 

Galatians 4:26 – Jerusalem (Zion) is above all nations, and the mother of us all 

Jerusalem is the motherland not Africa 

We wept while captivity, getting off the slave ships, and sitting by the rivers of Babylon the Great, remembering our homeland 

Wept (Merriam Webster) – to express deep sorrow for usually by shedding tears : BEWAIL  

2 [We hanged our harps upon the willows in the midst thereof.] 

The weeping willow tree 

Leaves hang down as in a weeping state 

Hanged our harps because there was no joy or happiness 

Weeping Willows (thisoldhouse.com) – Weeping willow trees are famed for their dramatic, elegant appearance. Their long, graceful branches “weep” into an arch, creating a round canopy that grazes the ground gently. Their narrow leaves are light green on top, with silvery undersides until they turn yellow in autumn. The bark is rough, gray, and ridged. Yellow flowers bloom in late winter or spring. Weeping willow trees grow to be 30-50 feet tall, with a spread of roughly 30-40 feet.  

3 [For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.] 

They that carried us away captive 

Deuteronomy 28:68 [And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you.] 

Egypt = bondage (Exodus 20:2 – Out of the house of bondage) 

Again with ships – bible explaining how in the last days the children of Israel would go into bondage 

Slideserve.com 

Edom (Caucasians) did not go into slavery on ships anytime in history 

See it no more again = not see our homeland (Jerusalem) again 

Once we got off the ships we would be sold for slave men and slave women 

No man shall buy you = redeem or save you 

Buy biblestudytools.com – See Redeem/Redemption 

Redeem biblestudytools.com – Finding its context in the social, legal, and religious customs of the ancient world, the metaphor of redemption includes the ideas of loosing from a bond, setting free from captivity or slavery, buying back something lost or sold, exchanging something in one’s possession for something possessed by another, and ransoming. The Old Testament. In the Old Testament, redemption involves deliverance from bondage based on the payment of a price by a redeemer. The Hebrew root words used most often for the concept of redemption are pada [h’d’P], gaal [l;a”G] and kapar [r;p’K]. 

Deuteronomy 28:47-48 – Characteristics that the slaves had 

47 [Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;] 

We as a people did not serve the Most High with joy and gladness of heart 

For the abundance of all things = the earth (the earth was made for us – 2 Esdras 6:57-59) 

48 [Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.] 

It was the Lord that sent the Africans, the Arabs, and the white man against us 

If we food, clothing, or anything to drink we must serve our enemies 

If you want anything we have to serve our enemies

To learn the bible (as in the past) 

Slave Bible christianity.com 

Slave owners worried Bible verses about freedom would incite their African slaves to rebel. On the other hand, certain passages of Scripture encouraged submission to authority. Rather than withholding the entire Bible, some masters allowed their slaves to have the Slave Bible, which was compiled from selected parts of God’s word to inspire submission. 

The earliest copy of the Slave Bible was published in 1807, an “astoundingly reduced” Bible which “contains only parts of 14 books,” Brigit Katz reported for SmithsonianMag.com. Sections that were removed included the Exodus story, which showed God instructing Moses to lead the Israelites out of slavery in Egypt. 

The Slave Bible was published in 1807, commissioned “on behalf of the Society for the Conversion of Negro Slaves” for use by missionaries who wanted “to teach enslaved Africans to read, with the ultimate goal of introducing them to Christianity,” according to Katz. 

Museum Exhibit 

The bible lets us know when we were sold, that we would have yokes of iron upon our neck 

Everyone was not on cargo slave ships, had yokes of iron around their necks, or sold to their enemies 

Until he have destroyed thee 

The yokes of iron did not come off until we were destroyed mentally and physically as a people 

There is no reason to have us leashed like an animal because our mind is already destroyed 

Not trying to overcome or return to who we once were because we are comfortable in captivity 

1 Kings 8:46-47 

46 [If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives unto the land of the enemy, far or near;] 

King Solomon is speaking 

There is no Israelite that sins not 

God be angry with the Israelites and deliver us to the enemy 

The God of Heaven and Earth delivered us to the enemies (Who the Lord shall bring against thee – Deuteronomy 28:49) 

Prophesying that we would be carried away into slavery to the land of our enemies far or near from Jerusalem 

47 [Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;] 

Regardless of being carried away, if we remember who we are and repent and confess our sins to the Lord 

3 [For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.]  

The carrying away captive was prophesying of the slavery of the Israelites that happened between the 1500s and 1800s 

Slave Trade (manchesterhistorian.com) 

Histories of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade typically focus on those enslaved in the North American colonies and often overlook its Southern counterpart. However, those enslaved in North America during the colonial period were a minority; only 6% of Africans were taken to the East Coast of North America between 1500 and 1870. Slave imports from Africa were overwhelmingly taken to South America and the Caribbean. Although the Southern United States is renowned for its past brutality towards the slave population, those enslaved in areas such as Brazil, Colombia and Bolivia experienced a much harsher reality. Yet, not unlike North America, slavery existed in South America even before African slave importation transformed the region’s landscape. After Christopher Columbus’s discovery of the Americas in 1492, much of South America was divided between the Spanish and the Portuguese with the Treaty of Tordesillas in 1494. When the Europeans arrived in South America, they enslaved the native inhabitants and used them as a free labour force to work on their mines and the cotton, sugar, coffee and tobacco plantations that were being developed. Moreover, shortly after the European colonisation, natives of these regions rapidly decreased in number. 

They wanted us to sing for them 

They that wasted us 

We have been wasted (destroyed) as a people 

Deuteronomy 28:48 – Want food, water to drink, clothing, education, understanding about God, bury the dead, we must serve our enemies 

A yoke of iron upon our neck until we have been destroyed mentally and physically 

Even some Israelite women are destroyed because will not submit to the Israelite man who God says is the gods, kings, and priest of the earth 

Still have the American frame of mind (not in the proper order) 

Men who sag their pants are also in a destroyed state of mind and spirit 

Jeremiah 17:4 – We have discontinued from our heritage 

Our heritage is the bible 

The bible says we are the Israelites, we must keep the commandments, and have the one true King 

Discontinued = wasted = destroyed 

Serve enemies in land knowest not 

Americas, Carribean islands, and wherever we were scattered 

Daniel 7:25 [And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.] 

The white man (mainly in America) speaks against the Most High 

God, Christ, Israelites are white 

They say they are God on earth 

If anything is wrong you must go to them 

They said they created space travel, cars, and railroad systems 

Wear out (wasted) the saints (Israelites) in slavery 

Psalms 148:14 [He also exalteth the horn of his people, the praise of all his saints; even of the children of Israel, a people near unto him. Praise ye the Lord.] 

Jesus Christ is the horn of our people – the King/Leader 

Even = indeed 

Change times and laws 

Daylight Savings Time 

God says the years starts in spring but the calendar we are given says it begins in winter 

Same-sex marriage has been made legal 

Revelation 13:6-7  

6 [And he opened his mouth in blasphemy against God, to blaspheme his name, and his tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven.] 

Still talking about Edom 

Say God, angels, and Israelites are white 

7 [And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations.] 

The saints are the 12 tribes of Israel 

To overome them (to be wasted) 

Edom is ruling over everyone and everything, they control the sky, waters, and land 

Psalms 137: 3-4  

3 [For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.]   

Mirth = laughter 

They wanted us to sing and make them laugh 

Sing us one of the songs of Zion 

They wanted to mock us 

Our current gospels are not the songs of Zion 

4 [How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?] 

The white man would laugh at us if we had sang one of the songs of Zion during captivity 

Psalms 149:1-9 

1 [Praise ye the Lord. Sing unto the Lord a new song, and his praise in the congregation of saints.] 

2 [Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.] 

Let Israel rejoice by keeping His laws, commandments, High Holy days (festivals) 

We celebrate Halloween, Christmas, Thanksgiving 

3 [Let them praise his name in the dance: let them sing praises unto him with the timbrel and harp.] 

4 [For the Lord taketh pleasure in his people: he will beautify the meek with salvation.] 

Lord takes pleasure in His people Israel 

Christ said the meek shall inherit the earth – Matthew 5:5 

5 [Let the saints be joyful in glory: let them sing aloud upon their beds.] 

6 [Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, and a two-edged sword in their hand;] 

High praises of God in our mouth is the laws and commandments of the bible 

Two edged sword in our hand (literal sword) 

7 [To execute vengeance upon the heathen, and punishments upon the people;] 

To execute vengeance on the nations 

The nations that are not killed will be punished 

8 [To bind their kings with chains, and their nobles with fetters of iron;] 

Vengeance 

Our enemies did this to us, so in vengeance we will do it back to them 

9 [To execute upon them the judgment written: this honour have all his saints. Praise ye the Lord.] 

Everything the bible says we will do upon the nations, the true Israelites will fulfil it 

Those stuck in Christianity, who believe we all will live in peace and that is what God wants, does not rejoice in the real songs of Zion 

Amos 5:23 [Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.] 

For the current false gospel songs 

God says take away the noise of these songs 

Psalms 137: 3-8  

3 [For there they that carried us away captive required of us a song; and they that wasted us required of us mirth, saying, Sing us one of the songs of Zion.] 

The white man carried us away captive, wanted us to sing songs, and destroyed us mentally and spiritually. 

Singing the songs on Zion in captivity would make them laugh 

Blacks in Christian churches have been deceived 

4 [How shall we sing the Lord’s song in a strange land?]   

Jeremiah 17:4 [And thou, even thyself, shalt discontinue from thine heritage that I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in the land which thou knowest not: for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burn for ever.] 

Land which thou knowest not is Babylon the Great (United States of America) 

The Lord’s song 

Revelation 15:2-3 

2 [And I saw as it were a sea of glass mingled with fire: and them that had gotten the victory over the beast, and over his image, and over his mark, and over the number of his name, stand on the sea of glass, having the harps of God.] 

Sea of glass mingled with fire is great destruction 

Them that had gotten victory over the beast 144K 

12K from each tribe of Israel and multitudes that are with them which are Israelites 

Victory over the image of the beast (white image of Jesus Christ) 

Mark = sin, Christian and Political doctrine 

Number of his name = whole political system (Babylon the Great) 

3 [And they sing the song of Moses the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb, saying, Great and marvellous are thy works, Lord God Almighty; just and true are thy ways, thou King of saints.] 

Sing the song of Moses recorded in Deuteronomy 32, and the song of the Lamb (The Lord’s song) are the same song about enslavement and then victory over the nations that enslaved them – Psalms 149 

This is not sung in the churches 

5 [If I forget thee, O Jerusalem, let my right hand forget her cunning.] 

In order to remember Jerusalem, we must remember our nationality, who our forefathers are, we are the sons and daughters of Zion and are Israelites 

Let my right hand forget her cunning 

Psalms 48:10 [According to thy name, O God, so is thy praise unto the ends of the earth: thy right hand is full of righteousness.] 

Deuteronomy 6:25 [And it shall be our righteousness, if we observe to do all these commandments before the Lord our God, as he hath commanded us.] 

Our righteousness is to keep the commandments of God 

If we forget who we are, let us forget to keep the commandment 

This is what happened to us as a people, we forgot how to keep the laws of God 

This society teaches that God’s laws are done away with 

6 [If I do not remember thee, let my tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth; if I prefer not Jerusalem above my chief joy.] 

Tongue cleave to the roof of my mouth 

Ezekiel 3:25-26 

25 [But thou, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee with them, and thou shalt not go out among them:] 

Bands upon thee = yokes of iron in Babylon 

26 [And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.] 

Cannot speak properly 

We reprove the people with the laws of God 

An analogy that Ezekiel would not be speaking right 

The church ministers and our parents are not speaking the laws of God 

Saying God is white and loves everyone 

Prefer Jerusalem above my chief joy 

To love this bible above everything 

Whatever this bible says is our chief joy 

We went into slavery because we did not prefer Jerusalem as our chief joy 

Deuteronomy 28:47 – We had to serve our enemies because we did serve God with joyfulness 

We did not rejoice when Moses gave us the law 

1 John 5:3 [For this is the love of God, that we keep his commandments: and his commandments are not grievous.] 

Grievous (Merriam Webster) 

2: OPPRESSIVE, ONEROUS 

Onerous – : involving, imposing, or constituting a burden : TROUBLESOME 

We as a people would not speak the oracles of God, the law, statutes, or commandments. We would not remember our nationality or who the 12 tribes of Israel are. 

We are supposed to take joy in the law 

Christian hypocrites hate the laws of God, but say they love God. 

7 [Remember, O Lord, the children of Edom in the day of Jerusalem; who said, Rase it, rase it, even to the foundation thereof.] 

David is prophesying about Babylon the Great, the nation of Edom. 

Genesis 36:8 – Esau is Edom 

Rase (Merriam Webster) – archaic : ERASE 

The Edomites helped the Babylonians destroy the 12 tribes of Israel 

Obadiah 8-14 

8 [Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?] 

9 [And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.] 

10 [For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.] 

Brother Jacob = the 12 tribes of Israel 

Shame shall cover all Esau’s descendants because of their violence against us 

11 [In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.] 

Babylonians were the Ethiopians 

Edom stood on the other side while the Babylonians came to take away our riches, destroy and rob our temples, and Edom helped the nations destroy us. 

12 [But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.] 

Israel became a stranger to God when we went into slavery 

13 [Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;] 

God is letting the Edomites know they should not have done the evil that they did, and because of that, they will be cut off in the future. 

14 [Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.] 

When some Israelites found a way to escape, the Edomites trapped them and brought them to Babylon. 

The Edomites wanted to destroy it. 

Daughter of Babylon = Esau/Edom 

Zechariah 2:6-7 

6 [Ho, ho, come forth, and flee from the land of the north, saith the Lord: for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the heaven, saith the Lord.] 

The land of the north is North America 

7 [Deliver thyself, O Zion, that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon.] 

Zion who lives with the daughter of Babylon 

Judah mainly dwells with Edom in North America 

8 [O daughter of Babylon, who art to be destroyed; happy shall he be, that rewardeth thee as thou hast served us.] 

9 [Happy shall he be, that taketh and dasheth thy little ones against the stones.] 

What David seeing in the spirit 

Isaiah 13:1, 13-15, 8, 15-17 Isaiah saw a prophecy for Babylon 

1 [The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz did see.] 

This Babylon is talking future Babylon/Daughter of Babylon/Babylon the Great 

13 [Therefore I will shake the heavens, and the earth shall remove out of her place, in the wrath of the Lord of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.] 

Speaking of the second coming of Christ 

When bombs hit America, the earth will move off her axis 

Did not happen with ancient Babylon 

14 [And it shall be as the chased roe, and as a sheep that no man taketh up: they shall every man turn to his own people, and flee every one into his own land.] 

It = Edom 

Chased roe(doe) (hunted deer) 

Chased (Merriam Webster) : the hunting of wild animals 

Roe (Merriam Webster) Doe 

: the adult female of various mammals (such as a deer, rabbit, or kangaroo) of which the male is called buck 

In this day, no one will want to help edom 

Everyone will turn to his own people. Trouble for those who chose interracial marriage. 

15 [Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.] 

Edom and those that are married to them will be killed. 

8 [And they shall be afraid: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them; they shall be in pain as a woman that travaileth: they shall be amazed one at another; their faces shall be as flames.] 

Their faces will be red (Genesis 25:25) 

15 [Every one that is found shall be thrust through; and every one that is joined unto them shall fall by the sword.] 

According to the bible, all Edom found in that day will be killed. 

16 [Their children also shall be dashed to pieces before their eyes; their houses shall be spoiled, and their wives ravished.] 

For biracial children, the seed comes through the man, so they are actually the race of their father. 

Sad especially for women who wish to marry outside their race, because they do not think men of their own race has any worth. 

Isaiah 13:12 [I will make a man more precious than fine gold; even a man than the golden wedge of Ophir.] 

Speaking about the Israelite man 

17 [Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, which shall not regard silver; and as for gold, they shall not delight in it.]  

Not speaking about ancient times 

Metaphor about nations that will come against Babylon the Great 

Revelation 18:1-4 

1 [And after these things I saw another angel come down from heaven, having great power; and the earth was lightened with his glory.] 

John the Revelator seeing a vision on the isle of Patmos (Patmos (Greek: Πάτμος, pronounced [ˈpatmos]) is a Greek island in the Aegean Sea. It is famous as the location where John of Patmos received the visions found in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament, and where the book was written.) 

2 [And he cried mightily with a strong voice, saying, Babylon the great is fallen, is fallen, and is become the habitation of devils, and the hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every unclean and hateful bird.] 

John sees the fall and destruction of the United States of America 

Habitation of Devils, every foul spirit, unclean and hateful bird – Isaiah 36:11-15 

3 [For all nations have drunk of the wine of the wrath of her fornication, and the kings of the earth have committed fornication with her, and the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through the abundance of her delicacies.] 

All nations obey America 

We cannot escape the influence of America by going to another country 

In Dimona, Israel, in order medical, dental, citizenship, Israelites must join the Israeli army to fight against the Palestinians 

Fornication – spiritual idolatry by joining politically or religiously with America 

There is some union or trade agreement with America 

The nations are not going to give up their riches and benefits that they have received from America for our sakes 

4 [And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.] 

The people of God are in Babylon (The United States of America) 

We must come out of religion, politics, and every system set up to manipulate our minds
