I want to tell you the story of a great king. He was a powerful and righteous king who loved justice. This king made laws and decrees, and everyone in his kingdom had to abide by the king’s orders. No one was above the laws of the land, not even the king. Now this king had a large family that he loved. However some of his children did wickedly in the king’s sight and even violated the laws the king had decreed.

So the king told his guards to arrest the violators, even though they were members of his own family. The king’s children who had violated the laws were arrested and tossed into prison. They were brought before a magistrate for a hearing and were found guilty. They were sentenced to 7 years of hard labor and servitude. The king though sad, accepted the magistrate’s sentence as fair punishment.

The king’s children were kept in prison at night. However, during the day they were forced to work for a wealthy land owner. Unknown to the king, however, the evil and ruthless land owner who worked the king’s children, along with the land owner’s children and servants, began to brutally oppress these children of royal blood. The children were beaten without cause, some were raped and sodomized, and some were even killed.

After their 7 year sentence was served, the king sent his servant to check on his children, since it was time for their liberation. The king had a great feast prepared and many great gifts awaited his children who had been imprisoned. However, once the king’s servant found out what had happened to the king’s children he was stunned and afraid. He was fearful to even tell the king the truth of what had happened. However, he did go back to the king, and he bowed very low, his eyes flooded with tears and with his voice quivering reported to the king the news of what had happened to his children. The king was outraged and full of wrath. His anger thundered out throughout the royal court.

Now I ask you, what do you suppose will happen to those people who oppressed, mocked, raped and even killed some of the king’s children? The king knew that his children needed to face their punishment, but those who meted it out went too far. Thus, I say to you, it would have been better for the oppressors of the king’s children had they never been born.

Well this analogy as you may have guessed is about Ysraylites and our punishment. You see, we are in the predicament we are in because we violated YAH’s statutes. We broke our vows to the Most High. So now we must pay. YAH, the Great Judge, ordained 400 years as our punishment in a land that Abraham did not know (Gen. 15:13-14). Most Christians will tell you that the 400-year enslavement of Ysraylites took place in Egypt. Well as Professor Colonel Sanders put it in the movie “The Waterboy“, the Christians, just like momma, are wrong again. There is something wrong with their medulla oblongata. The Ysraylites were never in bondage in Egypt for 400 years (as I will show you later). In addition, Egypt was not a strange land to Abraham. He was very familiar with it.

But back to my point. Our time, our punishment is nearly over. The sentence we are serving is coming to its end. We were brought to this new Egypt (the United States) in 1619. Now if you add 400 years to that date that brings us to 2019. (That’s if you use the Gregorian calendar which has 365 days in a year.) 400 years of punishment, but do you know what happens after our punishment ends? Judgment for those not of the House of Ysrayl.

The next several posts will go into more detail about our punishment. Today I am just setting the stage to show you how we got into the mess we are in.
