Hello from Colorado, where the peaks are tall and my perspective is sharpening by the hour! Today is Tuesday, June 2, 2026, and my faith is securely anchored in Christ Jesus! I am so glad you’ve returned to the blog as we pull back the curtain on the “architects” of the Hebrew Israelite movement.
If we’re going to talk about the “lie,” we have to talk about Frank Cherry. Around 1886, in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Cherry started the very first “Black Jew” church. He wasn’t a historian or a theologian; he was a former seaman who claimed he had a vision. He told his followers that Black people were the “real” Jews and that white Jews were actually “interlopers.”
When I see these videos people are sending me today—these high-pressure, “glazed-eye” presentations—I see Frank Cherry’s fingerprints all over them. He taught his followers to denounce other people’s identities to feel powerful in their own. It’s the same “brainwashed” energy I mentioned yesterday. He created a world where you didn’t need facts as long as you had a “vision” that made you feel superior.
As a Black woman of faith, it’s sickening to see how a myth created in the 1880s is still being used to confuse our people today. We don’t need a 19th-century seaman to tell us who we are; we have the Word of God for that.
The Takeaway for Us
- The Human Source: One recognizes that “prophets” like Frank Cherry often appear during times of great social distress (like the Jim Crow era) to offer an identity that feels like an escape from reality.
- The Fruit of the Doctrine: A teaching that requires you to hate or “un-identify” another group of people is not from God. Truth does not need to tear down someone else’s heritage to stand on its own.
- The Danger of “Visions”: A believer learns that personal “revelations” must always be measured against the established Word of God. If a vision contradicts the history and the Gospel, it is a delusion, not a divine word.
Community Challenge
This week, if someone sends you a “revelation” video or a “secret history” link, ask yourself: Does this lead me closer to the peace of Christ, or does it breed pride and division? I challenge you to research the source. Is the “truth” coming from the Bible, or from a 19th-century man with a specific agenda?
Scripture & Prayer
- Scripture: “Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.” — 1 John 4:1 (KJV)
- Prayer: Father, we ask for the gift of discernment. We pray for those who have been led astray by the “visions” of men who sought to replace Your truth with their own narratives. Open the eyes of those trapped in these high-pressure cycles. Let us find our royalty in being heirs to Your Kingdom through faith, not through genealogies. Amen.
The Spiritual Seal
Remember: A vision that requires you to denounce another’s existence is a prison, not a palace. Your identity is a gift from the Creator, not a creation of the 1880s.
See you tomorrow (Wednesday)!
