I worked with a woman who was part of this Cult. She seemed normal to me, although I knew that her beliefs were aberrant and that she was following a Cult.
I am not speaking of Ethiopian Jews. These people are truly Jews.
The women told me that they followed the dietary laws and the traditions of the Jews, including Shabbat on Saturdays. What she did not tell me was that they believe that they are the REAL Jews and that the Jews in Israel are fake. Actually, not just in Israel, but all over the world.
And that included me.
I was alarmed to see that there are over 200,000 of these haters in Israel! I wonder if the government truly understands the beliefs of these people. I also wonder if there are plans for an all out war from these deceived ones.

Jersey City shooting suspects David Anderson and Francine Graham followed ‘hateful’ religious sect
The Jersey City shooters were adherents of a fringe religious movement that’s been labeled a hate group by experts who track extremists in the US.
David Anderson was described by law enforcement sources on Wednesday as a follower of the Black Hebrew Israelites, and he introduced girlfriend and accomplice Francine Graham to their beliefs, a former friend and neighbor in Elizabethport, New Jersey, told The Post.
“I know she has a religion called the black Jews or something. She just told me that was her religion,” the woman said.
“Honestly, I didn’t pay too much attention. I know they kept the Sabbath.”
Another neighbor said he occasionally heard the couple “chanting religious stuff” inside Graham’s apartment.
“It was loud enough to know it was that,” the man said.
The Black Hebrew Israelites, who are not a part of mainstream Judaism, believe that white people are agents of Satan, Jews are liars and false worshippers of God, and black people are the true “chosen people” of the Bible, according to the Anti-Defamation League.
The Southern Poverty Law Center lists various branches of the movement among the country’s black nationalist hate groups, most of which it says are “strongly anti-white and anti-Semitic.”
It traces the origin of the racist “Hebrew Israelite” movement to self-declared prophet F.S. Cherry, who in 1886 founded a “black Jew” church in Chattanooga, Tennessee.
Cherry preached that white people were inherently evil and hated by God, and predicted that Jesus would return in 2000 to start a race war that would end with black people ruling over whites, according to the SPLC.
Earlier this year, the movement made headlines when a member of the offshoot House of Israel — a Brooklyn resident who calls himself “Chief Ephraim Israel” — profanely taunted a group of Catholic students from Covington, Kentucky, in front of the Lincoln Memorial in Washington, DC.
The incident sparked a viral video in which one student was seen silently smiling as his classmates mocked a Native American activist who intervened in the face-off by chanting and beating on a drum. source
Brethren, please pray with me that many of these misled people with come to the Truth. Jesus Christ is God and they must understand this.
This cult seems as dangerous to me as Farrakhan’s “Nation of Islam.” The Black Hebrew Israelites hate all white people. If this is not Racism than I do not understand what constitutes Racism!
Is it only racism if it comes from Whites?
WE MUST PRAY!
Shalom b’Yeshua
MARANATHA!!
Hi Geri, FYI – Dr. Michael Heiser on his FringePop321 YouTube channel has dealt extensively with the Black Hebrew Israelite issue through his interviews with Vocal Malone, who has studied them for years. Here’s the link to the videos page where you’ll see a number of recent shows that have addressed this aberrant theology.

Thanks, Gary. Shalom

Amen.
How sad. Much prayer is needed Geri. This is truly horrendous for all the families who have lost loved ones and so near Christmas.😞
It really is so very sad 🙁
