Matthew 27:18 Ethiopian Bible
18 For he knew that for envy they had delivered him.
This scripture speaks volumes when Emmanuel was being crucified then and why our African Americans and Africans and people of color today are also being deeply oppressed. In my prayer time today, I ask Yahweh why we as black and brown people are hated so much - and still to this day we do not receive justice. He always gives me a scripture because it is Truth, and the scripture above is what I received.
Envy in Hebrew can mean intense petty, which can lead to violence and death. On the other hand it can also mean a zeal for righteousness. Each letter in Hebrew language symbolizes its meaning. In this scripture it means jealousy that leads to violence.
Proverbs 14:30
A sound heart is the life of the flesh: but envy the rottenness of the bones.
You want what others have, and do not have it so you kill and harm to get it or diminish it. Which actually causes eternal torture to the oppressor - if they do not repent of their wicked ways.

| Great example of "jealousy!" |
First I want to say Yahweh loves ALL of His creation, He loves us perfectly and without conditions. People choose color, He chooses the heart within. I also want to clarify this lie that has been around for many years, there is NOTHING in scripture that mention race or about marrying a black man with a white woman and vice versa. This is made up by the UN who wanted to separate themselves from other people and chose color to do it.
I went back to college in my 40's, I took a sociology class and the instructor gave me a book that had this information in it, which talked about how the UN was established, what year, etc. and how those in power (British, French, and America) wanted to exalt themselves over others and oppress those who did not look like them (white), so they came up with a race. I do not remember the author or the title of it, but she was what the world considers white and said, "I want you to know about this." I remember wondering why, and after reading this I quickly understood and truly respected her greatly after that class. When I worked at a Casino here in Indiana, at start up, they contract workers from all countries who are already trained in certain positions to train the new workers, until they are properly trained. I used to sit at the table with them all. I recall people were from Germany, Dominican Republic, Mexico, England, France, Poland, Haiti, and a few I am forgetting. They all sat together during lunch and I would join them. I would ask them questions and they would ask me questions. One question that came up was, "What is a race?" They said, we had to fill out some paper work and put on it what race we are. They continued to say, we have never heard of that before. The young man from Germany spoke up and said, in our country, you are German. If you are born in Germany, then you are German. I learned much from sitting at that table and also enjoyed their food from their country they prepared on a daily basis.

| Cultures uniting together to fellowship! |
This is a sure testimony of jealousy and envy to go as far as to separate and divide so as to think they can conquer and overpower with lies. Darkness ALWAYS comes to the Light and it cannot distinguish it once exposed.
If you are in doubt read the true Bible not what has been whitewashed. Scripture does say NO ONE who is saved should marry an “unbeliever.” It will not work. The unbeliever will turn the believer away from following righteousness and cause that person to become unrighteous and live in darkness or the way of Satan. It is in the Old Testament Deuteronomy chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7, as well as in the New Testament I Corinthians chapters 6 and 7. This way you get TRUTH over lies. Also remember Yahweh cannot lie (Numbers 23:18; Titus 1:2) but Satan is the Father of lies. (John 8:44). When you lie, you are not a follower of Yahweh.
Now what we have as black and brown people is a gift from creation. Why we are chosen is also in scripture. It clearly says when Yahweh spoke to Abram and instructed him to leave his kin folks (who worshipped Idols. Material things over the creator) and go to a foreign land and I will make you a Father of many nations and I will bless you and make your name great. Abram believed Yahweh and obeyed, not knowing where he was going. Without hesitation, he gathered his family and began the journey to what was the "Promised Land" for all the chosen people of Yahweh.

| Praising Him with one voice, unto One Lord! |
The seed of Abraham is spiritual and belongs to those of faith. Without obedience there is no faith (If I don’t obey, then I am in unbelief), and Abram became Abraham, which means Father of many Nations (Genesis 17:5), because of his “Faith in Yahweh.” Therefore, our "Strong Faith" is what keeps us rising to that mountain over and over again. I will never forget about ten years ago, the pastor of the church I attended in Indianapolis, who is now retired, would always say to me, "You African Americans' faith is so strong."
I want to leave you with this:
Obedience activates the miracle of provision. When you hear the Word and obey it, you are acting in "FAITH!"
