Around 1640 BCE, some 70 Canaan (Black), Hebrews under the leadership of Joseph, son of Jacob, son of Isaac, entered Egypt from Canaan, fleeing from another great drought. Doris Darkwah in (The Role of Africa in the rise of Judaism) tells us that: “They were welcomed and given food and shelter by the hospitable Egyptians. They enjoyed the rights and privileges of Egyptian citizenship, some becoming high officials in the government giving up Semitic names for Egyptian ones. Joseph was in Pharaoh Kamoses cabinet as Prime Minister and took the Egyptian name of Zaphnathpaaneah. Yanhamu was a leading General under Amenophis IV (Akhnaton.)

“The Great Pyramids and the Obelisk had already been completed before any Hebrew set foot in Egypt; hence the idea of their being used as slave labour on those constructions is false. Pictures found on tombs show the Hebrews to be foreigners from their clothes and beards, but also that they were not in captivity. Of course, many of them laboured side by side with the Egyptians in making bricks for the outer enclosures of temples or cities, the main building effort of the day.”

Towards the end of the Hebrew's 400 years sojourn in Egypt in 1230 BCE, when they had grown in number to be a sizable percentage of the population, Moses was already over 70 years old. The Egyptologist, James Breasted in (Dawn of Conscience) points out that his name was not Hebrew as conventionally accepted, “but an Egyptian word 'Mose,' or 'Maose,' meaning child or boy-son, to which a prefix of a god's name may have been attached and lost over the years.”

Ernest Jones (Birth & Death of Moses) confirms that Moses was the son of Bathia, daughter of Pharaoh Seti I, and the Pharaoh himself. In other words, Moses was an incestuous child. Doris Darkwah in (The Role of Africa in the rise of Judaism) tells us that the circumstances of Moses' birth as portrayed by the Old Testament were pure fantasy. “African myths about finding a baby in water were quite common, especially in honouring national heroes,” at the time. Obviously, Pharaoh Seti and his daughter contrived the abandoned baby in basket scenario to avoid incestuous stigma and create the opportunity to look after Moses in the palace.

Sale in his book (Al Koran, P257, 1784) tells us that: “Moses was a very swarthy man.” Sir T.W. Arnold in his book (Preaching Islam, Westminster 1896) says: “According to Mohammedan tradition, Moses was a Black man.” The Bible confirms this in Exodus IV.6. Roger in (100 Amazing Facts about the Negro) tells us that Moses was a Black African.

Moses received his theological education at Heliopolis. He went into the Lodge (the Mystery System) at age 7 and could not have come out until aged 47 because it required 40 years to train as a priest in all the disciplines. In fact, Moses was trained for the role of Pharaoh with all the magic and spiritual powers entailed in this. Moses then spent a few years in Ethiopia in continuation of his education as a prince of Egypt. He did not conquer Ethiopia as some Jewish film makers would want the world to believe. No king of Ethiopia accompanied Moses to Egypt as portrayed by the film. An emissary of the king accompanied Moses from the land of his ancestors back to Egypt because he was a prince and that was the tradition of the era.

According to Doris Darkwah, Moses became the spokesman for the Hebrews and introduced them to “a monotheistic type of religion, which he had learned as an Egyptian from the teachings of Akhnaton as a prince and pharaoh in training for 40 years, in the Mystery System. It appears Moses first preached his adaptation of Akhnaton's religion to his people, the Egyptians, and found few followers.” He then turned to the Hebrews who were more receptive especially after Moses had killed one of his own (an Egyptian) in defence of a Hebrew. Moses became the spokesperson for the Hebrews.

Moses, at about the age of 47, ran away from his father, Pharaoh Seti I, for committing murder. His brother Aaron ran away with him because he was charged with stealing from the Pharaoh's treasury. Moses met Deborah while on the run and it seems Deborah said confidently, pointing to Moses: 'that Egyptian.' There was nothing in Moses' make up to suggest he was a Hebrew. He was not wearing any special clothes nor did he have a beard. He looked like any other African Egyptian brother, Deborah was familiar with. Moses escaped to the Midianites on one of the Sanai hills for succour, protection, and witchcraft powers, against his imaginary pursuers. Midianites were Africans from Ethiopia worshipping a number of Deities or Gods, the principal one being El Elyon or what the Bible claims to be Lucifer.

The Midianites' chief priest was called Jethro, a renowned spiritualist, considered to be a father of witchcraft because of his spiritual prowess and awesome cult. Moses ended up spending some 30 years in the desert with Jethro, who initiated Moses into his cult and gave Moses one of his daughters in marriage. The marriage was blessed with two children. All three, (wife, two sons) are lost to Jewish history because they did not fit into later Jewish religious politics. Some religious historians' argument that Aaron and Mariam's objection to Moses' Ethiopian wife was one of colour is wrong. There was no colour prejudice as a culture until the White man invented it at the Council of Nicaea in 325 CE, to launch their selfish, deceitful religion, and eventually justify their slave trade and colonization of Africans. Besides, the Jews at that time were Africans. Mariam's objection was obviously a national or tribal one, the same as exists today among some West African ethnic groups.

Moses' spiritual skills, which he first learnt as a Pharaoh in training (or Prince of Egypt) was reinforced by the teachings of his father-in-law. Jethro honed Moses' witchcraft skills. Moses saw a chance to use the Midianites' cult as a political and spiritual rallying point to build his religious followership and take his revenge on Egypt for deriding his earlier religious teachings and turning him into a refugee and murder outcast on the run. Moses adopted or was adopted by one of the junior deities of the Midianites. Moses himself claimed that his Midianite deity gave his name as YHWH pronounced as Yahweh, and that El Elyon, the chief of the Midianites (Canaanites) deities was superior to Yahweh.

Moses said it was El Elyon (God Most High) who divided nations (of the world) and shared them among the gods (or sons of God.) That the nation allotted by El Elyon to Yahweh (a god or junior deity or son of God) was Israel. Give ear O heavens, and I will speak and let the earth hear the words of my mouth. Remember the days of old, consider the years of many generations, ask your father and he will show you, your elders, and they will tell you. When El Elyon (the Most High) gave to the nations their inheritance. When he separated the sons of men he fixed the bounds of the peoples, according to the number of the sons of God. For Yahweh's portion is his people, Jacob (Israel) his allotted heritage.

Moses said Yahweh introduced himself as the god of (his followers) the Hebrews. Moses could not have used capital letter 'God' for Yahweh because he knew that that was reserved for El Elyon. Seventy Jewish scholars introduced the fraud in 200 BCE while translating Hebrew into Greek. Yahweh proudly called himself a tribal god. Moses claimed that Yahweh said: “I'm the god of your fathers, the god of Abraham, the god of Isaac and the god of Jacob,” Exodus 3:6,15. Notice that god Yahweh did not say he was the 'God' of mankind or even of the Africans who in the guise of the Midianites first brought his cult into being.

The Jewish scholars claimed that Yahweh regretted creating man and that He decided to wipe 'man' off the face of the earth because 'man' turned out to be wicked. A bogus claim by the Jewish scholars because Moses himself claimed that El Elyon was Yahweh's superior. Yahweh saw that the wickedness of 'man' was great on earth, and that the thought of his heart fashioned nothing but wickedness all day long. “I will rid the earth's face of man, my own creation (Gen. 6: 5-7.) I wonder who taught 'man' to be wicked. Yahweh killed Uzzah for trying to prevent the 'Ark of God' from falling down when the oxen carrying it stumbled. No sane person would kill for such a reason but gods are probably not governed by mere rationalism. “And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Uzzah, and 'God' smote him there because he put forth his hand to the Ark and he died there besides the Ark of God,” (2 Sam 6:6-7.)

Yahweh was not only prepared to dispossess others of their properties for the Hebrews, he encouraged his adopted children to indulge in stealing and other immoral acts. On the eve of the Hebrews' departure from Egypt, after failing to overwhelm the Pharaoh with a series of plagues, including the killing of every first born of men and animals, (Exodus Chapters 7-11) he ordered the Hebrews to slaughter innocent babies, old men and women, found in the captured city. Do not “spare them, but kill both man and woman, infant and suckling,” (I Sam, 15:3.)

Yahweh, 'the Jewish fake creator of man,' had no fore-knowledge of things that would happen in future, nor could he foresee the consequences of his action. Often he was sorry after the event turned out to be contrary to his expectation. Yahweh could not foresee Saul disobeying him after making Saul king of Israel. “I regret having made Saul king for he has turned away from me and has not carried out my order,” (I Sam 15: 10.11.) Saul's problem was his refusal to go to the city of Amalek to destroy everybody and everything he found there, adult humans, babies, animals, etc. Yahweh was capable of all human emotions: jealousy, anger, sympathy, love, hate, mercy, but was more easily provoked than anything else even by his professed children.

Yahweh was extraterrestrial humanoid. All Gods whether spelt with the capital letter 'G' or small letter 'g' are ex-humans. They are dead humans or ancestors and Africans created all of them. The Midianites created Yahweh and Yahweh's physical, spiritual, or mythical interaction with Moses is supposed to have happened well before 1230 BCE.

Moses saw Yahweh's back because Yahweh covered Moses' face with his hand while passing. “I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by, then I will take away my hand and you shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen,“ (Exodus 33: 22-23.) But Moses had seen Yahweh's face earlier on in (Exodus 33: 11) ….And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face as a man speaketh unto his friend. The Lord came to visit Abraham and ate in his house. Isaiah saw the Lord in his temple. Gideon, Ezekiel, Samson's parents, Daniel, all saw the Lord. Yahweh wrestled with Jacob (Gen. 32: 21) and Jacob nearly defeated him until he managed to remove a bone to wrench Jacob's hip. Some God?

Yahweh himself said: “if there is a prophet among you, I speak with him in a dream. Not so with my servant Moses; he is entrusted with all my house. With him I speak mouth to mouth, clearly, and not in dark speech, and he beholds the form of Yahweh….” (Numbers 12:5-8 RSV.) Even with prophets, I Yahweh communicate by visions and dreams. But that is not how I communicate with my servant Moses. He is entrusted with my entire house. I speak to him face to face, directly and not in riddles! He sees Yahweh as he is….. (New Living Translation.) It is this Moses who spoke to Yahweh face to face and saw Yahweh as he is, that revealed that El Elyon, the chief of the Canaanite's gods, was God Most High and Yahweh's superior.

Moses was visiting Yahweh in a space craft. The Bible tells us: “God descended on the Mount Sanai with thunders and lightings, the mountain quaked.” One time when Moses stayed away for too long, Hebrews equated Yahweh's idol to a Golden Calf. Hebrews gave Satan (Yahweh) to the world to worship. According to Yemi Ogunsola in the Guardian newspaper, Nigeria, January 4, 2009, the Jewish god Yahweh is not God Almighty but a deity inferior to God El Elyon. “It was not God who chose the Jews as his own people; it was god Yahweh, a deity. It was not God who unjustly promised other peoples lands (Palestine/Canaan) to the Israelites; it was Yahweh. It was not God who led the Israelites in the invasion and occupation of those 'promised' lands; it was Yahweh. It was not God who ordered the wholesale slaughter of men, women and children of Palestine, Canaan; it was Yahweh.” Moses invoked the energy of Yahweh (i) to fight his father, (ii) to help his followers get out of Egypt and (iii) to craft kabbalism.
