Does The Holy Bible KJV Prophecy of the Enslavement of the So-Called African Americans here in America?

Does the Holy Bible predict that Black people would come to the shores of America by way of cargo slave ships.? Is there scriptural documentation that the blacks here in America would be brought from a far country, stripped of their identity (Roots) and lied to about their TRUE nationality, and serve the Caucasian race as their slaves?

1. no

2. They been there, done that...that's over.


Keep up.

3. Uh, no.

BTW, no black people have served as anyone's "slaves" for over 135 years. You've never known anyone who was a slave. You've never known anyone who knew anyone who was a slave. The year is 2009.

4. Southern Baptists used to use Noah's curse of Ham as justification in the ante-bellum South.

5. a) That was over yeaaars ago
b) No. It doesn't say that - if it did, it would be eerily specific.

6. No. While the Bible has prophecied many things, that is not one of them.

7. No it does not prophesy that. I read the whole Bible. The Jews were predicted to be enslaved by other nations like Egypt.

8. Nope.

But why `so-called´ African-Americans?
Their descendants are Americans with African origins.

9. The Bible says that the children of Ham (the son of Noah who found his father drunk) would be "servants of servants," and that story has been used to justify slavery of Africans, associating dark skin with a curse or identifying mark of the biblical "slave race."

I guess the lesson here is if you find your father drunk, all your descendants will be slaves under God's perfect law.

10. Maybe their own people shouldn't have sold them. The Portuguese were the first to bring slaves to the Americas.

The bible speaks of slavery. OT Exodus 21 tells about having a Hebrew as a slave and goes on: 4 If his master gives him a wife, and he gets sons or daughters by her, the wife and her children will be the property of the master. . .

In the NT a Centurion comes to Jesus with a problem concerning the Centurion's slave: Matthew 8:5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
8:6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented.
8:7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.

Jesus did not condemn the Centurion for having a slave, nor did Jesus tell the Centurion to release the slave. Jesus goes on to tell the Centurion that He (Jesus) has not found anyone so obedient!

So, slavery was not confined to blacks from Africa.
