In the previous post we talked about the people of the Bible and their characteristics. My question is, are there any other characteristics that the Bible reveal to prove who Sonini Nanini’s people are? The answer is yes. How can we know for sure? The first step is to examine the early covenants between Sonini Nanini and Abraham. Is there a way to trace traditions, customs, and statutes of the Bible in the Promised Land? Yes, there is!! Additionally, did the Bible have geography information of location, rivers, landscape description? Yes, it does!! In fact these geographical location cannot possibly match Israel as we know it today. We will quickly see in this post that, Sub-Saharan Africa people are in fact the chosen people based in these facts. Lets dig in!
The Sons of Noah
If you read The Bible, there was a great flood that is recorded throughout the world. When the flood ended the Noah’s Ark had to stop and rest somewhere, right? Where? However, the Bible gives us a glimpse of who Noah’s sons were. What we know is that it is impossible to divide up land inheritance between brothers and for them not to be close together. See the verse below and please understand that it is customary in Africa to name location based on the names of the people who own them. Additionally, these sons were brothers, so it is natural to assume that they lived close to one another.
Now this is the genealogy of the sons of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. And sons were born to them after the flood. 2 The sons of Japheth were Gomer, Magog, Madai, Javan, Tubal, Meshech, and Tiras. 3 The sons of Gomer were Ashkenaz, Riphath, and Togarmah. 4 The sons of Javan were Elishah, Tarshish, Kittim, and Dodanim. 5 From these the coastland peoples of the Gentiles were separated into their lands, everyone according to his language, according to their families, into their nations. 6 The sons of Ham were Cush (present day Ethiopia, Sudan area), Mizraim (Egypt), Put (Libya), and Canaan (?? where is Canaan)?. 7 The sons of Cush were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabtechah; and the sons of Raamah were Sheba and Dedan. 8 Cush begot Nimrod; he began to be a mighty one on the earth.
Genesis 10:1-8
The Conflict Of Chosen People and The Philistines
Do you remember how in the Bible The Chosen People always struggled with the philistines? If you think about the level of conflicts they had, it is safe to assume that they were neighbors. So were the philistines black or white? Where did they descend from? According to the verse above, it is clear that Ham’s children except for Canaan, lived in the Northern part of Africa, right? So, if they were brothers, and they are neighbors, we can easily find out where The Chosen People were based on where Philistines lived, right? Remember Mizraim (Egypt) is another son of Ham. The children of Mizraim produced the Philistines. Wow! Amazing!
13 Mizraim begot Ludim, Anamim, Lehabim, Naphtuhim, 14 Pathrusim, and Casluhim (from whom came the Philistines and Caphtorim).
Genesis 10:13-14
Sham’s Descendants and Inheritance (Click The Title)
Pay attention to the names and realize what I said earlier, land was named after people who owned it. Sham was a grandfather of Havilah per verse below. When you start tracing where the Garden of Eden was (another topic on it own), you will see that one of the rivers that Pishon flows in the land of Havilah. If Havilah is grandson of Sham, wouldn’t that mean that Havilah has inheritance from Sham? On a seperate note, does today’s israel have gold, Bdellium, and onyx stone resources? Hmm…
22 The sons of Shem were Elam, Asshur, Arphaxad, Lud, and Aram. 23 The sons of Aram were Uz, Hul, Gether, and Mash. 24 Arphaxad begot Salah, and Salah begot Eber. 25 To Eber were born two sons: the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the earth was divided; and his brother’s name was Joktan. 26 Joktan begot Almodad, Sheleph, Hazarmaveth, Jerah, 27 Hadoram, Uzal, Diklah, 28 Obal, Abimael, Sheba, 29 Ophir, Havilah ( location of one of the rivers of The Garden of Eden), and Jobab. All these were the sons of Joktan.
10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah, where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there.
Genesis, 10:22-29, Genesis 2:10-12
May be We Need To See Where The Garden of Eden Was After All (Could The Sub-Saharan Desert be Covering Up The Garden of Eden)?
10 Now a river went out of Eden to water the garden, and from there it parted and became four riverheads. 11 The name of the first is Pishon; it is the one which skirts the whole land of Havilah (grandson of Sham), where there is gold. 12 And the gold of that land is good. Bdellium and the onyx stone are there. 13 The name of the second river is Gihon; it is the one which goes around the whole land of Cush (Ethiopia, and Sudan). 14 The name of the third river is Hiddekel; it is the one which goes toward the east of Assyria (Yes another person this is son of Sham according to Genesis 10:22, but they misspell things to confuse us). The fourth river is the Euphrates (Proven to be in West Africa according to Old Maps).
Genesis 2:10-14
Where Was Sham’s Inheritance At?
Now that we know where the Garden of Eden is hidden, I want to go there and at least be in the proximity of it. Is there anything out there that tells us where Sham’s inheritance is? I would highly recommend that you read the Book of Jubilees 8 and you will quickly see why Abraham kept going South from Egypt. It is because that is where Canaan’s land was.
And it turns from here towards the south towards the mouth of the great sea on the shore of (its) waters, and it extends to the west to ‘Afra (Africa?), and it extends till it reaches the waters of the river Gihon, and to the south of the waters of Gihon, to the banks of this river. And it extends towards the east, till it reaches the Garden of Eden, to the south thereof, [to the south] and from the east of the whole land of Eden and of the whole east, it turns to the east and proceeds till it reaches the east of the mountain named Rafa, and it descends to the bank of the mouth of the river Tina. This portion came forth by lot for Shem and his sons, that they should possess it for ever unto his generations for evermore.
Jubilees 8:15-17
Stolen Land Back to Its Proper Owner
Based on the verse above Shem inherited the land later knows as Canaan land. The Chosen People had to fight for it after leaving Egypt to get it back. So, how did Canaan son of Ham end up with this land anyway, since his inheritance was in the North? The Bible tells us that Ham sinned against his father, and then Noah cursed his grandson? Something is fishy here. This is where you find discrepancies in the Bible. Why would a child be punished for the sins of the father? Canaan stole the land and that is why he was cursed and why Noah’s prophecy for Sham to have the Promised Land forever was fulfilled by Sonini Nanini giving it back to the descendants of Sham, and Abraham.
Lets Take Another Look at Abraham’s Children
Not only that it is customary in Africa to name land and locations after the people who own them, but it is also customary for parents to give their children inheritance where each one of the children stay together. I am from Africa, and growing up, my grandmother had divided all the land she had between her children. We all lived in the same village or town if you will. Based on part 1 of this topic, we know where Abraham lived based on Genesis 13:1, right? So, where did his sons live?
Ishmael Lived In Africa
Remember how I mentioned earlier that most of the geographical locations were named after people who owned them. Remember Havilah grandson grandson of Sham, here you can see that even Ishmael (son of Abraham and the Egyptian woman), lived close to his brethren because the verse below says that he died in the presence of his brethren. It is safe to conclude that Abraham was a descendant of Cush, and his inheritance was of Cush, hence why the land of Canaan was give back to the descendants of Cush, Abraham’s seed Jacob. Why Jacob? Go back and read my earlier articles. Additionally, it is believed that Ishmael is the father of the Arabs. Do you know any nation out there abundant in riches that has 12 princes? Look it up and post your answer in the comments below.
16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these are their names, by their towns, and by their castles; twelve princes according to their nations. 17 And these are the years of the life of Ishmael, an hundred and thirty and seven years: and he gave up the ghost and died; and was gathered unto his people. 18 And they dwelt from Havilah unto Shur, that is before Egypt, as thou goest toward Assyria: and he died in the presence of all his brethren.
Conclusion ~ Or Is It?
By looking at how the lands were divided and where they were, you can start to see why Abraham kept going south of Egypt, to go to Canaan. It is safe to assume that The Promised Land and the people who lived in it prove the truth that indeed we were told lies. I will have to do Part 3 on this one because the evidence is just so overwhelming, the more and more I write these articles. What are your thoughts? Post them in the comments.
