The True Identity of Santa Claus




Saint Nicholas

Saint Nicholas or Santa Claus as we commonly know him, was probably born during the third century in the village of Patara, which is now the southern coast of Turkey. He was born of very wealthy ethnic black Anatolians of the ancient Roman Empire. He was a black Muur of European ethnicity that you only come across fleetingly in today’s western history.
Nicholas has wealthy parents who died in an epidemic while Nicholas was still young. As he became a man and being a devout Christian, he followed the words of Jesus to the rich, young, man in Matthew 19v21"If you want to be perfect, go and sell all your possessions and give the money to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me." Nicholas used his whole inheritance to assist the needy, the sick, and the suffering. He was known throughout the land for his generosity to the those in need, his love for children, and his concern for sailors and ships. 
He was made the Bishop of Myra while still a young man. The high office of Nicholas at such a young age speaks to dominant role played by Muurish black Anatolians and Africans in creating the church as we know it today. It is a historical fact that most of the early and very famous bishops of the church, who lived and gave their lives for the church were either Muurish Africans or Muurish diaspora.

Under the Roman Emperor Diocletian, Bishop Nicholas suffered for his faith, was exiled and imprisoned. After his release, Nicholas attended the Council of Nicaea in AD 325, where he worked with other early fathers of the church to establish the standardized Christian doctrine of today. Saint Nick died on December 6, AD 343 in Myra.
The Real Santa Claus
Today, the western pagans descendants of Gothic and Slavic conquerors of Rome and Christianity have built up an idolatrous image of Odin, the pagan god of the Goths and the Norsemen, is what is passed off around the world as Santa Claus. This figure is a direct contrast of the pious and devout Saint Nicholas; the young, Muurish Bishop of Myra, one of the early fathers of the church.

The Generational Curses that Afflicted the Ancient Israelites


In the Bible “generational curses” are mentioned in several places (Exodus 20:5; 34:7; Numbers 14:18;Deuteronomy 5:9). Yahweh warns that He is “a jealous God, punishing the children for the sin of the fathers to the third and fourth generation of those who hate me.”

As unfair as it sounds, for Yahweh to punish children for the sins of their fathers is more involved than it appears. The effects of sin are organically passed down from one generation to the next. When a father has a sinful lifestyle, his children, in theory, are likely to practice the same sinful lifestyle. This is implied in the warning of Exodus 20:5 is the fact that the children will choose to repeat the sins of their fathers. A Jewish Targum specifies that this passage of scripture refers to “ungodly fathers” and “rebellious children.” Therefore, it is not unjust for Yahweh to punish sin to the third or fourth generation – those generations are committing the same sins their ancestors did.

Yahweh’s warning to visit iniquity on future generations is part of the Old Testament Law. The generational curse was a consequence for Israel specifically for the specific sin of idolatry. The history books of the Old Testament, especially Deuteronomy and Judges, contain the record of this divine punishment meted out. What is a generation in the Bible? 40, 70, and sometimes 100 years.
Let's take slavery and Jim Crow as examples. President Abraham Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, as the nation approached year three of the Civil War. The proclamation declared "that all persons held as slaves" within the rebellious states "are, and henceforward shall be free." However, discrimination continued, Jim Crow being the most notable. The Civil Rights Act of 1964, enacted on July 2, outlawed discrimination the United States based on race, color, religion, sex, or national origin. 1863 to 1964 is almost exactly 100 years, depending on the inception of either or both events it may very well have been 100 years.

Know this, the cure for a generational curse is and has always been repentance. When the remnant of Israel turned from idols to serve the living Yahweh, the “curse” was broken and Yahweh saved them (Judges 3:9, 15; 1 Samuel 12:10-11). Yahweh promised to visit Israel’s sin upon the third and fourth generations, but in the very next verse, He promised that He would show “love to a thousand [generations] of those who love me and keep my commandments” (Exodus 20:6). So Yahweh’s grace lasts a thousand times longer than His wrath. Does Israel continue to suffer? Outside of  Yahweh's saving Grace through Yeshua the Messiah they do. A note to white people, especially white Christians who have a lengthy heritage in America, if I were you I would pray to Yeshua, just like the Israelites, to be spared the judgment brought about by my ancestors. Remember, Yah said He would judge the nation who enslaved the Israelites. It's only been fifty two years since Jim Crow laws ended. So when we look for the answer as to why bad things happen to good, innocent white people, this may be it.

Who is Hebrew?


I read a comment from a woman who was “against” the Hebrew Israelites because she had been a member of one of the organizations with the same namesake. She said she “used to be a Hebrew Israelite” but she was no longer because she left the organization where she was a member. I cannot stress this enough. Being a Hebrew Israelite is NOT a religion; it is a heritage and an ancestry. There is nothing you need to join nor is it something you can “become.” You either are or you aren't.
Some groups have used this ancestry to falsely manufacture their own set of ideals and beliefs.
Please be wary of these “preachers.” What I am offering to you is based on the studies of Biblical and historical scholars. The Bible is the original source but this information extends into historical studies as well.

"Hebrew" and "Jewish" are not interchangeable terms. Many Hebrews, like Paul, were once Jewish during the Biblical days it was a religion and a culture. Because of this, modern day Hebrews (like myself) can say we are of Jewish ancestry. However, after the Messiah was born, we should all have become followers of Yeshua the Messiah; this means (non-denominational) Christian for most of us. You can become Jewish as did the Ashkenazi Jews of the Biblical days because it is a religion. But again, the “Judaism” of  the Ashkenazi Jews is not the same as the Old Testament Jews. And not all Hebrews were Jewish, some were pagan like the tribe of Dan. It has been said that only the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and  a “good portion” of Levi were Jewish and were also the only ones present during the exodus to Egypt. Therefore, these are the only tribes who are among the "Chosen."
But every tribe is Hebrew Israelite.

Many have wondered where the other tribes went and who they might be today. Although the Bible does not specifically name the modern nations representing all of these people, there is biblical, historical and archaeological evidence that make it possible for us to positively identify their whereabouts of some of them. The United States, Britain and Western Europe and the islands they owned are the nations where descendants of the 12 tribes of Israel largely reside today. Again, please know that while this historical knowledge is not critical for anyone's salvation, it does help one understand end-time prophecy. And confirm the Bible prophecies of Deuteronomy 28 (for those who are not believers). I have mentioned the African tribes and as I stated, Hebrews frequently ventured into and relocated to Africa as evidenced by the above tribes. There were also Hebrews who elected not to go with Moses and the other Israelites  and remained in Africa and were eventually pushed southward by Assyrian invaders (the ancestors of most of the modern-day inhabitants of Egypt).

Modern day Egyptians

Again, those tribes did not heed to the prophecy of the Messiah's warning of the coming destruction in Israel and were not spared. Most died in the city through starvation; were killed by the Romans; sold to Egypt, or taken to Rome for various Roman ‘sporting activities’ after their conquest.
So if we use the facts of the slave trade, we can decipher who is included in the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi because again we know that these were the only tribes present at the exodus into Egypt. According to Dr. Neil Frankel, between 1525 and 1866, in the entire history of the slave trade to the New World, according to the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade Database, 12.5 million slaves were shipped to the New World. 10.7 million survived the dreaded Middle Passage, disembarking in North America, the Caribbean and South America. If you are a native of those who were labeled “black” living on or in one of these islands or continents, then you are likely of Hebrew heritage.
The Atlantic slave trade developed after Europeans began exploring and establishing trading posts on the Atlantic (west) coast of Africa in the mid-15th century. The first major group of European traders in West Africa was the Portuguese, followed by the British and the French. The following maps show the locations the Hebrews were sold to during the Transatlantic slave trade:

Why Do I Say “So-Called” Black? And More "Black" Thoughts


We should all know that “black” is not a sufficient identity for the Hebrew people. Black is neither a nationality nor ethnicity. It called a "race" but race is a social construct that adds little value to humankind. I often wonder if we got rid of race, would we get rid of racism? It's been done. Indian was successful in doing so. "Of color" is no better than "colored" in my opinion. I'm sure some people have said this to themselves in their state on perpetual confusion regarding this term.
African-American is an inaccurate identity because Africa is not the Hebrews place of origin. I have never cared for the term African-American, or any other hyphenated ethnic term. And here's why:
Before the term "African-American" became so popular, I was aware that Africans were complicit in the slave trade. If we ever were African, we ceased being so once they sold our ancestors into slavery. Many native Africans felt and continue to feel the same way. After having learned the truth about the Israelites, however, I wonder if this was the real reason Africans have long since opposed so-called black Americans who call themselves African and desire to “return to the motherland.”
Be that as it may, you must know that humankind as a whole originated from the continent of Africa. My opinion? North East Africa aka the Middle East. More on that later.
Another reason I don't care for “African-American” is because it creates separation. It's like the powers that be are trying to turn us into something “other than.”  It is to say that there is an ideal as to what constitutes an "American." The“American sweetheart” or an “All-American” family and these people are usually Caucasian. And then there's the one that's “other than” American the “African,” “Mexican,” “Japanese,” or "German” American (yes, Caucasians have ethnicities too). If you are American, you are American. Period. We create separation and statuses and wonder why we have so many problems with one another.

We have some so-called black people who think to be 'Pro-American" is to be "Anti-Hebrew (black)." My stance is this. This country belongs to the Hebrews just as much, if not more so, as it does anyone else. The blood, sweat, and tears of our ancestors went into making this country one of the greatest in the world and I'm going to claim it. That's why our ancestors fought in wars and competed in Olympic games. This is why Hebrews join the military and the police force. And listen, if you think you have to be "anti-police'" just because you are "black" then you are ignorant. Just think about what you are saying about yourself. Did you know that police killed twice as many Caucasians in 2015 than they did "blacks?" Look it up. And being anti-police is like being anti-dentist or anti-lawyer. Of course we have racists and corruption in every facet of society but that doesn't mean the whole system is corrupt although it might feel that way sometimes. If a doctor killed someone either by accident or on purpose, would you boycott all doctors? Would you refuse to got to the doctor if you needed surgery? Think about it. We need these services, it would be naive to think otherwise. And no, Hebrews did not achieve independence on July 4, 1776. But this day was a brick in the stone of the foundation that brought us from there to here. Celebrate it. Celebrate it because there are those who'd rather you didn't. I barbecue my turkey burgers in their face. Eat it.

Hebrews have a tendency to want segregate themselves; but if someone else were to do it, there would be all kinds of hell to pay. I understand that in many aspects the Hebrew people are often those who are under served and disadvantaged. However, we are no longer in a place where we have to “make do” because the proverbial “they” won't let us into something. Yet we continue to let people keep us at a distance and seem happy to let them. I will not make my own tennis club because someone doesn't want me to join because I am Hebrew. Like it or not, I'm coming in because I can. Then I will make my own tennis club that allows everyone to play. Don't get me wrong, unfortunately it is necessary for us to make opportunities for each other, I'm not saying that it isn't. What I'm saying is, Hebrews can head up something without segregating themselves and self-sabotaging their efforts. To me it seems counter-productive. We have to change the way we interact with one another too.
Hebrews are the harshest critics of other Hebrews almost always when unwarranted. Look up the comments about Gabby Douglas, Viola Davis' daughter or Ciara and Kelly's sons and their hairstyles. But if they would have straightened it, then they would have gotten accused of trying to be someone else. With Hebrews, you are damned if you do, damned if you don't. It needs to stop.
Yet when a Hebrew person tries to be realistic about our shortcomings, he or she is accused of "selling out." We don't want to look internally. I'd like to see this happen. If I have a "Vogue" type magazine, called, "Styled." In "Styled" there will be more pictures of Hebrews than anyone else. Someone who is probably not Hebrew will wonder why are there more Hebrews than anyone else in this magazine? My answer would be, why not? Next question.
If you are decidedly "Black Entertainment Television" then you are segregating yourself, your art, and your opportunity to say that "this" is just as good as "that." Everyone already knows it is so own it. Otherwise,"Forbes" will continue to be THE finance magazine and "Black Enterprise" will always be, that finance magazine for black people. I hope you get what I'm saying.

For some reason Hebrews always want to accuse other Hebrews of not wanting to be 'black,” as if that's a legitimate option. This whole argument is arbitrary. No matter what you do, you will be who you are. There are “black” people all over the world but few refer to themselves this way except for Americans. An educated person knows that countries are often comprised of all hues of people and one should not have to add a “color” when describing their birthplace. People typically identify themselves by their country. Think about how we address our state of birth. I do not have to say I am a "black" New Yorker. I say I am a New Yorker. Everyone knows that New York has all types of people, I'm one of those types. If you want to know more I would be glad to tell you my background.
And on the subject of backgrounds. Here again, Hebrews tend to get bent out of shape if some dares to mention they are of another ethnicity. Again, segregating ourselves by self-enforcing the "one drop rule." So they would rather a person like Halle Berry just completely forget that her mother exists. That would make them feel better right? It's ludicrous.
I'm not saying racism doesn't exist. It absolutely does. Racists are continuing their father's (the devil) work so they will always be around. What I'm saying is it can't stop you like it used to.
It might be harder, but it's not impossible. If we have learned nothing else from the Obamas, it's that.
Okay, I think I've gone on long enough. I may have to come back to this because I need to talk about where exactly the "black community" is, what it's comprised of,  and who gets to decide.
Until next time. Yah bless.
