Concluding with the series: “Black Lives In The Bible,” SEELE Editor, Ally points out another intriguing Black woman in the Bible, who’s blood is still running through the veins of Black Jews in Israel today: The Queen of Sheba. We encourage you to sit down to Netflix this weekend and watch the film: The Red Sea Diving Resort, as it shows through suspenseful and action-packed scenes how the state of Israel in the 80s, over a period of several years went into Sudan on secret military missions, called Operation Solomon, to bring its Black Jews, the children of King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba back to their homeland- Israel. Today’s Friday Post will help you understand how thousands of Black Jews are residing in Israel today, though they face systemic racism and murder at the hands of Israelis.

Continuing with the series: “Black Lives In The Bible,” I had planned to highlight the life of Asenath, the wife of Joseph in the Old Testament. But, the situation going on in the U.S. has me wanting to write a letter to Black people instead. “There are far deeper issues Black Americans need to face than solely the police and White subjugation,” says SEELE Editor, Ally.

To kick off this series: “Black Lives In The Bible,” Seele Editor, Ally unpacks Simon of Cyrene, who helped Jesus carry His cross up the Via Del Rosa, and he had a personal encounter with Jesus, as He served the Savior in His final hour, an encounter that you and I are invited to have with Him as well. We see one key factor, symbolism really that as Simon carried the cross and followed Jesus, Jesus was modeling discipleship. Jesus was still leading as He walked into death. Blacks and minorities who carry their individual crosses of racism are to follow Jesus, as He leads us into a victorious life. All people in the crosses that they bear are to follow Jesus, as He leads all into a victorious life.
