Misused Scriptures &amp; the Truth of Our Israelite Heritage<\/p>\n<p>In this powerful teaching, we expose how some Christians take Scripture out of context to claim that the Law, the Covenant, and the Sabbath have been \u201cfulfilled\u201d by Messiah \u2014 and therefore no longer matter. But the Bible reveals the opposite: Messiah came to fulfill \u2014 not abolish \u2014 the Torah that was given to our ancestors as a living covenant (Matthew 5:17\u201319).<\/p>\n<p>\u2728 In this video you will learn:<br \/>\n\u2022 How popular verses are misquoted to reject Torah<br \/>\n\u2022 Why the Covenant still stands for Israel and those joined to Israel<br \/>\n\u2022 The true meaning of \u201cfulfill\u201d in the Hebrew mindset<br \/>\n\u2022 Why the Sabbath remains a sign between YAH and His people<br \/>\n\u2022 How returning to Torah restores our identity and unity<\/p>\n<p>The enemy has tried to erase the truth \u2014 not just about the commandments\u2026 but about the people who first received them. Around the world, there are communities with ancient traditions, oral history, and cultural memory pointing back to Israel:<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd39 Jews of Angola<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd39 Lumbee Native Americans<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd39 Gullah\/Geechee Sea Island communities<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd39 Congo and Central African Jewish lineages<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd39 Igbo Israelites of Nigeria<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd39 Royal House of Judah in Benin<br \/>\n\ud83d\udd39 Black Portuguese Sephardi descendants<\/p>\n<p>Their journey, migration, and struggles reflect the same scattering and survival the Scriptures prophesied about the Children of Israel.<\/p>\n<p>This awakening is not by accident. Prophecy is unfolding \u2014 and many in the African Diaspora are discovering who they truly are: a covenant people called to return to the commandments of YAH.<\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udd25 The Messiah did not come to erase our identity\u2026<br \/>\nHe came to restore it.<\/p>\n<p>#ReturnToTorah #AfricanIsraelites #HebrewAwakening #SabbathTruth #CovenantPeople #LostTribesOfIsrael #FulfillNotAbolish #MessianicIsraelite #TorahLifestyle #DiasporaReturn #AncientIsraelitesInAfrica #ScriptureContext #LawStillStands #AfroDescendantIsraelites #AwakeningOfJacob<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\ud83d\udcdc Is the Law Really \u201cFulfilled and Finished\u201d?
