"African Who Wrote the Bible" by Dr. Darkwah. Pages 311-313.

Ancient names had a literal meaning: such as the ones below, which honored the Canaanite God “EL”.


Michael - who is like God

Daniel - God is my judge

Gabriel - strong man of God

Gamaliel - benefit of God

Hazael - one that sees God

Emmanuel - God is with us

Ishmael - God will hear

Israel - God contended


Does Dr. Darkwah
say what was the original meaning of the names that you gave, and what was the language?

All those names listed are translations of their original Hebrew counterpart, and therefore would be spelled (and even pronounced) differently. Unless this Darkwah cat was able to make his connections using the original Hebrew language (with credible proof), then this is nothing more than a poor (and ignorant) reach on his part.

Not too long ago I was doing some research and came across a writer who identified those who were probably of African desent in the bible including authors of books of the bible.

Having said that I must with all sincerity emphasize that I have not read one iota of evidence that race is of any significance for the message of the bible.

When God sent Abram forth out of Ur a land that borders iraq today and made promises to him did Israel become significant because God chose to prove throughout the centuries that nothing can stop His word from being fullfilled. As many attempts to destroy this sometimes disobedient, arrogant, idol worshipping nation God has kept them down to this day.

JA Rogers points out so many times how the black race and every other race has been scattered around the globe and intermixed for ever. He mentioned Soviet Georgia and a land in China where the color and features of the natives still have the African traits.

Interesting how the lands around North Africa and the Mediterranean are almost the same color. The wars and conquests in those lands left a stamp by the victors on the people who were conquored.

Color and race has been a big obstacle to mankind since the flood. We would all be better off blind.

Simeon the Niger was a black on the church at Antioch.

It stands to reason that if over 90% of the bible took place in and around Africa that Africans would not have a small place in it.

It is a certainity that some whites did there best to make the bible white in race. But as in all else the truth comes to the top sooner or later.

Jim999 is right, El = Elohim.

El-emental - El-ixr and so on.

The Arabs use, 'Al' which also shows up a lot in the english language al-though I don't know what it means. Can reinterprete al-ot of words in that way as most have somewhat deeper meanings such as the names Jim999 listed.

Theres supposed to be alot of Roman or Latin in African languages something I haven't really read into, linguistics is an important topic in regards to history.

man you guys are really up on this language stuff.

are you saying that all languages are corrupt except African and that all languages are ******* forms of African language?

is our language the only true language?

@Jim999
Does Dr. Darkwah say what was the original meaning of the names that you gave, and what was the language?



This is what Dr. Darkwah says:

1. Yes, Akan is the language.

2. Yes, Dr. Alex Darkwah asserts that the meaning of these indigenous
(adj: having originated in and being produced, growing, living, or
occuring naturally in a particular region or environment) words:

a. Zephaniah [Sapanin] - "The Oldest War"
b. Nahemi - "An African Tribal Name"
c. Nahum [Nana/Naa] - "An appellation of respect for royalty, old age
or some achievement of that benefited the
people as a whole"
d. Malachi - "An original Akan, not Hebrew word"
e. Habakkuk [Baako] - "...We first met this name in the revelation of the
African names of Simeon Bar Kokhba as Siamon
Baakoba. This Jewish historical personality was
the one that led a revolt of the Jewish people
against the Romans for three years. It was after
the defeat of Baakoba and the destruction of
Jerusalem that the Romans built the city of Aelia
Capitolina on top of the ruins of Jerusalem..."
f. Ezra - "An Nzima name"
g. Ezekiel [Ezeke] - "An Nzima name"
h. Jonah [Ajena] - "An indigenous Akan name"
i. Daniel [Daani] - "An Akan name"
j. Samuel [Asamoa] - "An indigeous Akan name"
k. Hosea [Osee] - "A popular Asante name"
l. Haggai [Agyei] - "An indigenous Akan word"
m. Joshua [Gyasi] - "An indigenous Akan name"
n. Obadiah [Oboadee] - "The Creator"
o. Zecheriah [Sekyere] - "An indigenous Akan name"
p. Jeremiah [Kyereme] - "An indigenous Akan name"
q. Isaiah [Asa] - "A word from the Akuapen tribe"
r. Amos - "A royal name in the New Kingdom of Egypt -- 18th Dynasty"

Pp. 307-310 "The Africans Who Wrote The Bible" by Dr. Nana Banchine (Alex) Darkwah.

Jim999 said: "Ancient names had a literal meaning: such as the ones below, which honored the Canaanite God “EL”."


I say: The names used in pseudo-biblical non-history are of African Origin. African Tribes lived in Egypt before a miafa scattered them all over Africa. The Ghana of today still carry a remnant of the one Great Civilization Known As Egypt:

The [Asesedwa] Ancient Egyptian furniture design of four thousand years ago that modern scholars have found in the Akan Stool design in Ghana.
page 235, "The Africans Who Wrote The Bible" by Dr. Alex Darkwah.

Matsa/Matzot: a Jewish food delicacy that has its roots in Ancient Egypt. The so-called Jews bake it, Those African Peoples in Ghana fry it!
page 178, "The Africans Who Wrote The Bible" by Dr. Alex Darkwah.

There was with a certainty no great Hebrew/Jew/Semite nor Roman nor Greek Nation save what these false impostors copied from THE GREATEST BLACK AFRICAN PERFECT PEOPLE WHO EVER WALKED AND BREATHED ON GODS GREEN EARTH, THE ANCIENT EGYPTIANS.

Dr. Nana Banchie Darkwah, known to us here at Arkansas Tech as Dr. Alex Darkwah, has published a book entitled The Africans Who Wrote the Bible, which can be purchased at Amazon.com. Dr. Darkwah is an American citizen, born in Ghana, where he is still a King from the Aduana Clan of Ghana in West Africa. His interest in ancient history and the Bible began from tribal stories that link royalties and people of modern Ghana to the dynasties and people of Ancient Egypt. Dr. Darkwah speaks eleven African and European languages, and he supports his revelations in the book with linguistic analysis and other evidence. Dr. Darkwah has written five children's stories and three books. His next book, Ancient Egypt: The Story Africa Has Never Told, is due for publication this fall.

JA Rogers points out so many times how the black race and every other race has been scattered around the globe and intermixed for ever. He mentioned Soviet Georgia and a land in China where the color and features of the natives still have the African traits.

I say: It is important to know and emphasize that Black People have made and still continue to make great contributions to the world. We are the only culture [race is not the appropriate term to use here, since we are all in the "same" human race] who are continually attacked, demonized, dehumanized and denigated. The well oiled system of that religion called White Supremacy is now complete as we turn to attack, demonize, dehumanize and denigate one another under and behind the preface of "lack of knowledge".

@Black Lion
Theres supposed to be alot of Roman or Latin in African languages something I haven't really read into, linguistics is an important topic in regards to history.


I say: Other than the important works of Cheikh Anta Diop and Dr. Ben--Dr. Darkwah is the first educated linquist to come along and openly challenge common conventional wisdom on the subject of just how true the bible is and just who may or may not have formulated its dogma. It is thru the etymology of words that true history can be traced. So, therefore, Black Lion you are correct: Linquistics is an important topic in regards to history, especially since the majority of us only speak English and are not, I repeat not bi-linqual nor multi-linqual...!

I say: What better method of comparison? I suppose you have a better method than Dr. Darkwah?

Why Use Something False To Justify Your Truth....this Is Crazy How People Call The Word Of God Fake, but Use It To Justify[sp] Their Truth.

I say: There is nothing false about being bi-linqual or multi-linqual. The Word of God as you call it is nothing more than the words of 70 little Hebrew men over a period of 100 years...!

Dr. Darkwah's says in his book that he is not denigating the biblical text but rather revealing its origin.

I, on the other hand know that the biblical text is nothing more than a luke warm version of a much more potent version of "The Book of Coming Forth Into The Light By Day"

msfine:

I have never said that we as black people should not know what our history is. my contention is with those who have made issue with the color of Jesus Christ. I say again that according to the doctrine of the bible it matters not.

the bible breaks it down this way. Two people in the world. The saved and the unsaved.

My grand father was born in 1886. He taught me and left me books to read.

As I have said, I grew up in the rural south. My grandfather was a proud man who ended up being a property owner. He worked hard and respected people and was respected by people. I will never forget the times when I was young and we would walk down the sidewalk with my hand in his.

He was not a hat in hand negro. My dad was not the man he was but he also did not kow tow to any man.

I have been conscious of Africa and the contribution of black people for many years. I was an angry young man when i left home in 1968 off to college. I thought that all whites were evil and that all blacks were good. Found out different quickly. There are good in all races and bad in all.

We blacks in America would have had a very difficult time had it not been for some whites who at the risk of their lives understood what Christianity really said.

It is because I know who I am and what my people did for this world that I have no hatred or inferiority complex. I am not limited by my race or color. I know the law and have no fear to speak up for my rights or the rights of those who are down trodden.

people like you and jim999 are paranoid and intolerant of people like me who have confidence and no fear of whites. Justice is some times slow over here but it comes.

msfine:

you know very little about the bible and what it is all about.

Truth Dotson asked you to fine a prophesy that failed. there are a lot of them to look at. God put His reputation out there on his Word. His word does not return unto Him unfullfilled or void.

Your hatred for the hebrews blinds you to how God staked His reputation on Israel. He said that they would never be destroyed. They are still here in the midst of their enemies, out numbered. You want to make them black. yes there are black hebrews just as you have admitted that is the case in all nations more or less.

Here is a verse that you may ponder msfine:

1 Corinthians 2:13 - But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
