by Onleilove Chika Alston (Author)
Millions of Black people read the Bible each day, but it's like they are looking in the mirror and can't recognize their own face. Why are Adam and Eve depicted as White if the oldest human remains were found in Africa? How can the Bible be "the White man's book" when it does not take place in Europe? Are there truly Lost Tribes of Israel, and, if so, how can the Creator of the universe lose his people? What is the purpose of having a chosen people anyway? Prophetic Whirlwind: Uncovering the Black Biblical Destiny examines the true culture of the Biblical text, who is a Hebrew, the Torah's call to justice, and central role Africa has played in scripture. This book reveals where many of The Lost Tribes of Israel went to escape oppression, and what this means for Black liberation today. By profiling over 15 tribes in Africa with Hebrew origins, as well as the history of the Hebraic movement in America, Prophetic Whirlwind reveals what the author calls The Black Biblical Destiny.
