Fortson's Encyclopedia of Israelite History, Claims, and Culture (Undeniable)

Who are the “Black Hebrew Israelites”, where did we come from, and is there any evidence to support our claims? These are the questions that are on many people’s minds. The idea that God would choose black descendants of slaves as his “chosen people”, is anathema to some, but it is hope and faith to others. I invite you to open this encyclopedia and journey with me through a history that has been omitted from the mainstream narrative. I invite you to read the many journal entries, edicts, and eyewitness accounts that point to one of the biggest conspiracies in the history of mankind. “He that answereth a matter before he heareth it, it is folly and shame unto him.” – Proverbs 18:13 A Message From The Author It has been ten years since I began my journey to debunk the claims of the Black Hebrew Israelites. In that time I've discovered, vetted, corroborated, and published more evidence in support of their claims than most people in this field of research. As a former Christian Apologist, I believed that history was being presented to us in an honest fashion because Christianity is supposed to value truth over lies and deception. I couldn't have been more wrong. The history I began to uncover told a much different story than the stories we are presented with. Here are just five of the most overlooked facts of history that I discovered on my journey: The Inquisition and the Transatlantic Slave Trade are overlapping historical events. Portugal was heavily involved in the Inquisition and controlled the Transatlantic Slave Trade. The Jews expelled from Spain and Portugal were described as black, tawny, and negro. Many black Sephardic Jews were expelled to west Africa and some were sold as slaves on sugar plantations. The Portuguese controlled the Atlantic sugar trade and slave trade, and targeted black Jews for both. The above facts may come as a shock if you have never heard this part of the story, but there are hundreds of sources that give detailed accounts of what actually happened during that time. Here are five more historical claims you've probably never heard before: Nebuchadnezzar sent the tribes of Judah, Levi, Benjamin, and Simeon (Southern Kingdom) into Spain circa 586 BC. At the time of the Inquisition, the Jews claimed to be from the tribes of Judah, Levi, and Benjamin (Southern Kingdom) Portugal expelled Jews into west Africa and documented many Jews in west Africa starting in the late 1400s. The "Kingdom of Juda" briefly appears on maps of west Africa during the slave trade and was marked as "The Slave Coast". The "Kingdom of Juda" was believed to have been inhabited by the Jews that were expelled from Portugal during the Inquisition and other groups of Jews that migrated there to escape Muslim invaders. Long story short, there are major historical discrepancies surrounding the Inquisition, the Transatlantic Slave Trade, and the true identity of descendants of slaves living all over the world. This encyclopedia was compiled in the hope that it will fill in the blanks and answer many questions for people seeking an identity that was wrongfully stolen from them. May you find the answers that you are seeking. APTTMH
