The purpose of this book is twofold: (1) unravels the truth regarding who the biblical followers of God and Jesus resembled in respects to their heritage then and direct descendants today, (2) display supportive images and artifacts that demonstrate that there has been a hegemonic takeover of Christianity from people they have conquered and scorned. Biblical citations are used with images and artifacts in Europe and other parts of the white known world At this point in the history of the world, xenophobia and racial scorn against blacks was non-existent. The achievements and skills of black or burnt skinned people were admired. Collectively, these Ethiopians or Egyptians's reputation was legendary. In the Roman Empire, the Israelites of Northeast Africa (called the Middle East today) were physically considered indistinguishable from Ethiopians and Egyptians. The wide discrepancy between how early Christians, particularly in Europe, portrayed biblical figures and citations in the Bible and ethnocentric portrayal today is investigated. In the United States of America (USA) the race of biblical figures and authors has been purged and replaced by Nordic or Northern European people who hold hegemony over the Western World and its former colonies. Besides the modern xenophobia and racial scorn held by the hegemonic Westerners purging the messengers of the Gospel, they have used the message to subjugate the descendants of the original Israelites who were enslaved in America, segregated, dehumanized devaluated, demonized, profiled, miseducated, excessively incarcerated, and underdeveloped. This book explains the rationale for this racism and why revealing the truth can save the scorned and change Western attitudes to an era whereby "content of ones character" and "service to others" purges hegemonic-led racism and privilege at the expense of humanity. If race and color was not important in regards to Christianity, according to those holding hegemonies and their surrogates, why have them purged Black Israelites, Egyptians and other people of the Bible from its annuals and displace them with their own descendants who were primarily living on the barbaric fringes of the Roman Empire in Europe. Ancient Israel and what we call the Middle East today was considered the Northeastern part of the African continent quite distant from the ancestral homelands of those holding hegemonies in the West. This book explains how the Indo-Europeans, including Arabs, conquered Northeast Africa claiming the land, civilization and religion as their own. The transformation was com-pleted within the last 300 or 400 years. Christianity a religion designed to save all humanity became a religion that subjugates people of color and elevates those holding power to "divine-like" status on the basis of their socioeconomic status.
