Uncovering the Truth About Black Hebrew Israelism

Black Hebrew Israelism is a movement that asserts that African Americans are the descendants of the ancient Israelites, and that they therefore have a special role to play in God’s plan for humanity. This movement, founded mainly in the United States, is growing and gaining momentum. From mainstream media to celebrities the influence of deception is building momentum and we as Christians need to know about it and how to address it.. One thing to understand is that this group is not uniform. There are many camps and many internal divisions of Black Hebrew Israelism. Some of the largest camps include: Israelites United in Christ (IUIC), Great Millstone (GMS), Gathering of Christ (GOCC), and Israel School of Universal Practical Knowledge (ISUPK). Because of the many differences, there are some generally accepted doctrines: Salvation Is Only For The 12 Tribes Of Israel, Caucasians Descend From Esau & Will Be Slaves In The Kingdom, Jesus Was A Black Man As Were The Israelites, There Is No Trinity, Mary Conceived Jesus From The Seed Of Joseph Rejecting His Deity, Curses of Deuteronomy 28 Fulfilled In African Americans, Salvation By Works (Observing 613 Mosaic Laws), The Doctrine of Reincarnation & Incarnation, The “GMS Rape Doctrine”, The Adamic Race were the people God created in Genesis
