Civilization And Its Misinterpretation III

Introduction
In this work, we discuss why African Eschatology is empirically sound and proven, whereas the Christian one is thought to be built on illusions or pure imagination. It will be seen in this work that while Christianity has borrowed immensely from Black people or African religion, it has diverted from the latter’s eschatology, which is empirically possible and proven. The former is built on illusions of distant heaven among the stars, angels, sightseeing, and judgment by the Holy God and his heavenly angels, who live and govern the world through caretaking and protection of human beings. There are reasons why black people, who are the original human beings, are living peacefully on earth, but the white race is always fighting and killing one another. One of the reasons is that they are not serious about their religion, they profess falsely about having religion and faith, and still engage in criminal activities, on the other hand, which destroy lives on the planet earth.

A Person Endowed with Special Powers at Birth (Obayifoɔ)

Certain Human beings are endowed at birth with some spiritual powers that make them almost equal to the superior spiritual powers known as God or “gods”. These human beings, in Akan terminology, are considered “wabayie” or “you have come well,” which means “being lucky to have appeared” in this world with extra “spiritual eyes”. that they have some original spiritual powers that can be used to do certain wonders and mysterious things, such as invent something new or solve some dire problems that can lead to progress or enlightenment in the world. Unfortunately, in early societies, among the original black people in the Levant, Europe, and Africa, they were ignorantly branded and persecuted as “evil doers” who usually employ their powers purposely to destroy or commit crime or impede progress on earth. Witches are, therefore, powers that are almost equal to the gods/angels who could use these powers to perform good or bad deeds.

At night, when he is fast asleep in bed, a witch (Obayifoɔ) can be sleeping with his mouth shut and snoring, yet one can hear voices in conversations and laughter like the one that takes place on a wireless radio. It is very difficult to make up what the conversation means, but this would continue the whole night until he/she wake up from their sleep. If you were to be sleeping with this individual in the same bed, before the spirit leaves for the night, one would be put into a deep sleep. The same experience would take place when it is about to return to the sleeping body. Unless an individual possesses some spiritual powers himself or herself, you would not know when a witch leaves the body for the night and returns to the same body before daybreak. Most businesses of the witches are performed at night, around 02.00 a.m. to 04.00 a.m., and seldom in the daytime. So it is also empirically visible that contact with the gods or God quiet at night than in daytime when the noise level is high.

Spiritual beings or the Gods in general enjoy some greater amount of quietness and detest the very noises that fill our church Halls and auditoriums.

Spiritual Powers to obtain Riches, Wealth, or Fame (Nsemanbayie)

These powers are spiritual powers that certain people obtain from the Akomfoɔ or the mediums to enable them to become rich. In Ghana, the particular tribe or group of people from which these powers can be acquired is known as Nsemafoɔ. They lived in Ancient Babylon together with the Fantes some thousands of years ago, before they immigrated to Ghana, through Egypt, and later settled in Mali, the Ancient Ghana Empire. They form part of a segment of the several tribes called the Akan of Ghana.

They are homogenous people and speak the same language, which has few variations.

An individual who has obtained these powers, which has made him rich, and as a result, has become wealthy and respected, could be sitting in his chair or in bed sleeping with his mouth shut or open. Yet, you could hear some conversations going on beneath his bed or chair. The voices are like the conversations and laughing taking place on the wireless set or radio, but you cannot make out the meaning of these conversations, which are sporadic. As soon as this person is awake, these conversations will cease, and one would not hear anything again.

God/Spirits and the Spiritual beings

From the experiences of these two spiritual entities, spirits see, hear, smell, engage in conversations and laughter, yet they have no human form like human beings (no container). Human beings can do all that the spirits can do, except that they, the humans, have containers which are called bodies or dust that have been shaped by God or the gods themselves. They can wear down or die, that is, cease to exist. From the evolutionary perspective and the Creation perspective, these characteristics were imputed to human beings by the Gods/Spirits to enable them to function as gods or beings.

Evolution theory and Creation theory: They are synonymous!

The theory of evolution states that human beings evolved from smaller bits, that is, smaller living things in the sea, in a progressive manner, which began in the sea and later on land until they gained the intelligence they possess now. First came the fish, then mammals, and a human being, which gained the ability to crawl on the ground and later stood up on its legs and walked. Creation theory says that a spiritual being used clay or dirt from the ground in the mashes common in the virgin earth or under the deep sea, and fixed the human body, after which the spirit breathed into her nostrils and, then, the human being became a “living creature” or ”organic matter”. And God said: “Let us make man in our own image or in the same likeness as our own”. And everything became perfect as has been said and planned; man could see, talk, laugh, and have a conversation with his own likeness in a bodily form/container.

The empirical evidence above scientifically proves that when a human being is dead or ceases to exist as a living creature, the ability to speak, see, smell, and laugh like the spiritual beings portrayed in the experiences of Obayifoɔ or Nsemanbayie disappears from the body, though it does not go away entirely. The spiritual presence is said to be felt even when the body is lifeless and emptied.

The Separation between the Human Body (corpse) and the Spiritual Entity

Death and the Burial in the Cemetery (Asemando)

When a human being dies, while the body is lifeless and emptied, the spiritual entity that is able to speak or converse, see, smell, and laugh does not die. When the human body is dressed and laid in the bed or state for all others, such as relatives, friends, and visitors to pay their last respects, the spiritual entity stands there among them observing quietly. According to empirical evidence, the spirit sees all that is going on. The spirit sees those who cry and experience sorrow due to his death and passing away, and though it sees, it is limited in the manner it interferes in matters taking place in the human beings' world. This is because he has entered the spiritual world/realm, no longer entrapped in the container of the human body/clay/dust.

When the lifeless body is put in the coffin, the spirit does not enter the coffin itself but sits on the coffin like a “King” (in a palanquin) as the men bear the coffin to the graveyard. At the graveyard or cemetery, when the coffin is being lowered into the

grave, it stands beside and watches all these things that take place, finally to put the lifeless body, which was a human container, to rest.

After the burial, the spirit follows the people and all others into the cemetery gate, Asemando to see them off. At the gate, he wishes all bye-bye and goes back to the Asemandoworld of the dead. According to empirical evidence, the Asemando is a world of its own where relatives and dead family members receive the dead with happiness. They build, socialize, and live in the spiritual world as it happens in the human beings' world. “One woman [my own mother], less than a year before her death in Ghana, dreamt that she was looking for a place in a big city that did not look like the human beings world to build her own house, when suddenly she woke up from her sleep”. This happened to her on a number of occasions before her actual death in September 2025.

The main argument is that African eschatology is scientific and empirically proven, offering a grounded understanding of life and death. Christianity, by contrast, is considered to lack a scientific foundation, and its beliefs diverge from the demonstrable truths found in African traditions.

Christian religion, which has borrowed immensely from African religion, in fact, originates from this mother religion on earth, just like the Hindu religion, which Badu (Buddha) sent to India, has diverged to build its own eschatology, which is built on illusions. The truth of African eschatology is so superb that the Christian illusions of judgment and punishment after death cannot be equated with it.

Christianity is a Black People/African religion.

Christianity has been asserted to be not a Western religion but rather a pure black religion with its roots found in Ancient Egyptian society. All the concepts of Christianity, such as "Creation in Genesis," "Holy land," and the origin of "the Ten Commandments," "Cain killing his brother Abel," and "the Emasculate conception,” all commenced and have their roots in Ancient Egypt and can be read inside the Egyptian pyramids. Since Moses was bred and brought up in Egypt, there is no way he could have gone through their education system and upbringing without knowing these concepts mentioned above in Egyptian laws, culture, and thinking. The Ancient Egyptian book, Coming Forth of Day and Night, cogently has this information. The black Jesus who black Simon of Kyrenne (Cyrene) helped was painted as Caucasian until now we have come to correct it. The three black women who saw Jesus when he supposedly arose from the dead had become white women, including Mary Magdalene. Kyrenne was a city built by the Ancient Akans who inhabited Ancient Egypt and had now moved to settle in Ghana. Jesus Christ originated from the Akans people, and his Hebrew name was Kwasi Hene. His descendants now live in the Akwamu area in Ghana, where their Supreme Deity, called Ayesu, is being worshipped.
