Chart reveals extensive Black history in the Bible
pi rae lac
Syteria and Gilbert Saiz of Tulsa,
Okla. have worked together to create
a fascinating historical chart high­
lighing the royal ancestry line of
Blacks in the Bible.
The chart called, "Hamitic Ex­
pressions," is derived from one of the
sons of Noah named "Ham" -which
means "Black, Hot, Dark-skin."
From this great Black patriarch de­
scended African Americans; as well
as other ethnic groups of the world.
THE INFORMATION ON the
chart raises some interesting ques­
tions. For example, are you aware
that it is genetically impossible for a
white father to produce a Black child,
but in fact a Black father can produce
, a child of any complexion? Did you
know that Adam and Eve were Black,
and that the garden of Eden was lo­
cated in Africa?
Have Sunday school teachers ever
informed their charges that Noah
p�uced a Black son named "Ham?"
To produce a Blac child, the father
would also have to be Negroid. Fur­
ther, did you know that the lands of
Ethiopia and Egypt (Africa), Pales­
tine, Israel, Jerusalem, and the Asian
territories were named the Land of
Ham centuries ago?
Did you know
that Adam and
Eve were Black,
and that the. gar­
den of Eden was
locate ,IO�· '.rJ.Q.
The "Hamitic Expression" chart
of the great royal family -his excel­
lency, the Black man- is a positive
teaching image that paints a dynamic
visual strength which encourages
young minds to discover their rich
roots.
"Change has to start with each one
of us doing what we can to reach the
hearts and minds of our youth -the
leaders of tomorrow- effectively
projecting positive images before
them, so they can have purpose.
"Solomon, a magnificent Black king,
said in the Bible, '"Where there is no
purpose the people perish and hope
deferred makes the heart sick
(Proverb 29:18; 13:12)," the couple
said.
Our youth have given up hope and
they are sick of being told that they
are a subculture when in fact they are
dignified executives descending
from a superb royal line of Blac
dynasties; an that is needed is for
someone to inform them of their
heritage from God's perspective and
for someone to believe in them, they
continued.
-For you were once dS/itness, but
now you are light in the Lord. live as
children of light, • -Ephesians 5:8.
