The Proverbial Fork


I went back to the beginning, to show the origin of Blacks. That took us all the way back to Genesis the first book of the bible, the 9th. chapter. Some people might not want to go back that far. Especially those that won't accept the truth. In an effort to bring us closer to reality. As I uncover scripture, I'm going to discuss it here. Here we have something else in the 13th. chapter of Genesis. An issue between then Abram later known as (Abraham), and his nephew Lot. This is labeled as the largest land deal in history. It largely affects world politics today. Here is the covenant the lord made with Abram. Check this out.

5And Lot also, which went with Abram, had flocks, and herds, and tents.
6And the land was not able to bear them, that they might dwell together: for their substance was great, so that they could not dwell together.
7And there was a strife between the herdmen of Abram's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's cattle: and the Canaanite and the Perizzite dwelled then in the land.
8And Abram said unto Lot, Let there be no strife, I pray thee, between me and thee, and between my herdmen and thy herdmen; for we be brethren.
9Is not the whole land before thee? separate thyself, I pray thee, from me: if thou wilt take the left hand, then I will go to the right; or if thou depart to the right hand, then I will go to the left.
10And Lot lifted up his eyes, and beheld all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered every where, before the LORD destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, even as the garden of the LORD, like the land of Egypt, as thou comest unto Zoar.


Several things took place in these scriptures. First we see Lot, was a follower of Abram. They both were men of means. So much so, they couldn't live together. They each had enough material wealth, to make it on their own. Notice how the Canaanite, and Perizzite have shown up now. I always say anything that ends in "ite", is against God. We were warned about the people of Canaan earlier. Genesis 9:25 And he said, Cursed be Canaan; a servant of servants shall he be unto his brethren. In the spirit of compromise, Abram let Lot have his pick. He chose the richest land, in the exchange . He chose the well irrigated Jordan. Even then we see you couldn't deal with terrorist. They have no respect for what's right.You give them an inch, they want a mile. It was much like Israel and Palestine today.
