People of the Cross
People of the Cross
Queen Candace sent her homeboy on a mission. No, I’m not talking about Candace Owens convincing Ye to buy Parler. Although the presence of a ‘Candace’ in this narrative is striking, considering her namesake. I’m talking about Queen Candace of the Ethiopians in the book of Acts (chapter 8), and her role in the history of Christianity, way back in the Apostolic world before Gentile conversion to the faith, when the early Church was still very Israelite. Israelite identity is a touchy subject in the Vending Machine, like anything else concerning race and religion we are all scared to “say the wrong think out loud” and make statements that offend self-appointed thought referees. It’s an exhausting game, being a Westerner. East Africans have a much more liberated existence in this realm of life. God is present in the everyday in public, not relegated to the weekend or digital chat rooms. Religious piety is celebrated and not shamed. And the memory of the African contribution to the “Abrahamic religions” is alive. This week it is apparently the time for this to happen in the Vending Machine. Except nobody wants to, because we’re told the Vending Machine will expel us if we shake things up too much.
Kanye West has decided a simple shaking isn’t enough and has infamously declared “DeathCon”. I’m not going to analyse this declaration (because everybody else is already doing it), I’m far more interested in Ye’s assertion that he is a “Black Jew”, which has been totally ignored by the media except to say that this must be connected to the influence of the Black Hebrew Israelite cult. Everybody inside the Vending Machine is in a frenzy because he said, “Black Jew”. The dissident pundits say that Kanye has been drinking delusional soda pop cult ideology, and then left the analysis flat. But I see a different part of the story happening. I see an American slowly waking up to Coptic historical reality inside the Vending Machine that forgot about the Black Hebrews of the Bible.
I know, it sounds like I’ve overdosed on reggae. Absolutely guilty as charged. I dosed on it enough to hear the Caribbean Christian minstrels singing about Zion and the Solomonic Dynasty of Ethiopia, and I followed the trail all the way to the Ark of the Covenant in Axum. That Ark is the Mosaic Ark, the gold-covered acacia chest containing: Moses’ tablets of 10 Commandments, the budded almond rod of Aaron, and the manna from heaven – which, in all of Christendom only the Ethiopian Copts claim to possess. Whether you think it’s true or not, no other country on earth has so obsessively celebrated possession of this Old Testament relic; it is impossible to be around Ethiopians and not learn about the Ark coming to their mountainous nation of Africa from Jerusalem. But the Ethiopian Copts place even more value on another ark: Mary, the Virgin Mother of Christ, the New Ark of Israel.
It seems esoteric when you haven’t grown up surrounded by pictures of the Virgin Mary. But that’s what iconoclasm (or sacred image destruction) has done to Westerners: obliterated civilizational memory and the ability to refer to the imagery of the Early Church. Copts never committed iconoclasm. Sacred imagery has been a key to preserving the faith in the ‘Nile section of Ghetto Christendom’. We Copts were an obscure ancient “Christian sect” removed from the West for over a thousand years, and largely forgotten by the rest of Christendom, but Coptic imagery has influenced the sacred art of the entire Mediterranean region since the beginning of the Church, although many Christians will not recognize the Coptic influences in their art.
Meanwhile over in North America, Black Americans have wielded the Coptic Ankh (or Crux Ansata) in a quest to assert an ethnic identity rooted in African spirituality (here for example), and the Coptic theme has repeated itself over the decades in various cults and sects. As my Church has been established by the people of the Ankh (which was ‘baptized’ as a Christian symbol after Egypt’s conversion to Christianity), I have followed the pop culture use of the Ankh symbol with interest. Because, for all of the desire to return to indigenous African spirituality, including a “Black Hebrew” identity, there has never been a major mainstream conversion of African Americans to an indigenous African, Coptic Christianity. It’s mystifying.
In the 20th Century, Black Americans looked to the Coptic people of Imperial Ethiopia as icons of the struggle against colonialism and European imperial conquest of the African Continent. Many Americans protested the Fascist Italian invasion of Abyssinia in huge numbers, and decades later the imperial Ethiopian delegation to the White House was greeted by streets full of Americans who had come to see the Coptic African Emperor. And yet who were these Abyssinians being greeted by the JFK administration? If you ask them, they say they are Black Hebrews who accepted the faith of the Apostles AKA the African Israelites.
Western Protestantism doesn’t focus on this chapter in the history of Christianity nearly enough. It instead repeats the delusion that Christianity first entered Africa through the European colonial system and that it was imposed on subject people in a racist imposition of European spirituality. This is false. Christianity claimed an entire native kingdom in Africa before it had even reached Russia. Yet the lie that African Christians are practising a “White Man’s religion” is promulgated, even by the people who are angry about the Anti-White racism of Critical Race Theory. How much of this corrosive guilt of the American Europeans has been created by this delusion and ignorance?
The Islamic world to contrast White Guilt has no crisis of conscience at all over its history of slave trading, nor its colonial relationship with Africa. On the contrary, Muslims embedded the story of Mohammad’s followers fleeing Arabia for the protection of the Christian Ethiopian King in the story known as the hijrah (emigration). The Arabians took refuge in Coptic Africa to find the protection of An-Najashi (the King of Ethiopia) at the direction of Mohammad who recognized their monastic piety. Without this part of their story, Muslims wouldn’t exist. The Christian Horn of Africa is likely where they learned to pray in prostration after their delegation gave their account of the Muslim attitude towards the Virgin Mary to the Najash (king). The expression of respect toward the Virgin Mary in Ethiopia was the reason that the emerging community was given refuge by the Copts.
Happy Black History Month!
Why don’t Western Christians know this history? European Christians of the New World seem to have no memory of the Hebrew Christians of the Nile in their own origin story. Yet the Apostles clearly did; they wove it into the narrative of the New Testament.
Enter Candace (the African, not the American one). Before Mohammad’s followers turned to the Christian Kingdom of Axum for refuge, the Nile region was ruled by various monarchs. Among these was the one called “Queen Candace of the Ethiopians” in Acts 8. Candace is an official term taken from the kandake or queens of the Kushite peoples. Among these Kushitic peoples are the nations that have emerged along the Nile and Horn of Africa, and within these nations were Black Israelites. Check for yourself. Why else would the Apostles mythologically crystalize the memory of the Evangelist Philip meeting Queen Candace’s Hebrew eunuch travelling on the road to Jerusalem in the Book of Acts 8?
The Evangelist Philip never cringed at the eunuch reading Isaiah and accused him of LARPing: he immediately saw a brother of the circumcision and preached Christ. And the Greek Philip recognized that this African man was seeking the Messiah promised to Israel, although he did not know the interpretation of the scriptures until Philip explained to him that Jesus Christ is the Consolation of Israel. Once learning this, Candace’s Black Jew was baptized immediately, and took the news and Gospel with him down to Africa, where other Black Hebrews adopted Christianity. This part of Church history is precious to the Ethiopians and has been burned into the memory of the Coptic world, as the faith of Christ first bloomed along the Nile. Yet it is nowhere in the West. The moment you say anything that sounds like Black Hebrew Israelites, people recall the American cult. It is curious.
African Apostolic history is a key part of the controversy with Kanye West now. Because like West, the West is having an identity crisis worse than Bruce Jenner’s. Ye is trending and proclaiming an identity that makes people very uncomfortable to consider, an identity that doesn’t fit the appointed label of his Vending Machine persona. Bruce Jenner won woman of the year and was applauded for his bravery. Westerners are apparently encouraged to identify as whatever they want now and celebrate their label transfers on magazine covers. What has Kanye done if not replace his label with another?
In a world where we are encouraged to adopt whatever identity we want without shame (except for being Christlike), Kanye’s “Black Jew” assertion is a great sin in pop culture. But who gets to decide Israelite identity? Who is more authoritative than the Hebrew Apostles of the New Testament, the Bible itself? Do Americans have this monopoly on the label or do the Copts, who recognize the African Hebrew presence as real? Are Western Christians even allowed to have this conversation, or are they only supposed to apologize into eternity for bringing Christianity to dark-skinned people, despite the reality that it was the native Ethiopians and Egyptians who established Christianity along the Nile? People of the Cross, who would be seen in America as People of Color. The Ankh belongs to Jesus Christ.
As a POC (person of the Cross) I see no problem with anybody saying Black Hebrew. Copts never forgot about them, and the American West seems to be on the cusp of recalling a Biblical event that transformed the history of the Apostolic Church forever: the baptism of the Ethiopian Hebrew by the Evangelist Philip, in fulfillment of the expectation of the old Mosaic Covenant. We Copts hold to the reality, as Simeon did in Luke 2:25-32, that Christ is the Glory of Israel who brings revelation to the Gentiles. The Incarnation of the Lord through the Virgin Mary marked the beginning of New Israel.
So, do you see Kanye as a kind of Black Hebrew Israelite LARPing as a “Darker Jew”? Or do you see somebody who read the Book of Acts, took it seriously and saw himself in that Black Hebrew eunuch searching for the Messiah? What would the Evangelist Philip say to Candace’s homeboy today? Perhaps Western Christians will now finally realize this part of the ancient Christian story and remember that the road to Jerusalem was once travelled by African Hebrews searching for the Messiah, who is Jesus Christ. Maybe Ye will do what Queen Candace’s eunuch did and recognize the Ark of the New Covenant, the Virgin Mary who gave birth to the Glory of Israel, Immanuel. Time will tell.

Death Spiral - We're in an epidemic of narcissism and bad decision making
Just like an army of ants in the animal kingdom, individuals, groups and even whole societies are
sometimes caught up in a death spiral. A vicious cycle of self-reinforcing dysfunctional behavior.
According to prof. Schippers, a death spiral is characterized by continuous flawed decision making
where one bad decision leads to another, which can even lead to the collapse of an individual, group
or society. This conversation with Prof. Jordan B. Peterson was recorded backstage at RAI Amsterdam
sept 25th 2022, just before his Beyond Order show. You can hear the venue calling people to their seats
(and Prof. Peterson to the stage).
Prof. Jordan Peterson says that an important problem is wilful blindness, people keep themselves
intentionally unaware of facts, i.e. they turn a blind eye. Another problem he points out is an epidemic of narcissism, or self-love. As a solution he thinks people should become more involved in society. In order for people to find out what they can contribute to society, participating in self-authoring (https://www.selfauthoring.com/future-...) and Letters to the future (https://www.greatcitizensmovement.org...) is a good start.
Also, reading and signing the Great Citizens Declaration (https://www.greatcitizensmovement.org...)
might be a good first step on escaping the ant mill and creating a brighter future for ourselves and the world.

Masculinity will Save the World
Masculinity will Save the World
by Arthur Kwon Lee
We’ve all heard and repeated the mantra ad nauseam that, “politics is downstream from culture.”
It’s true, the Right fallaciously defined its investment solely based on the ROI in one’s bank account through the lens of one-dimensional capitalism. In turn, leaving all creative industries abandoned where we find faith-based and conservative artists in the middle of the desert with no home. The radicals swarmed in with their patronage and now control the dreamscapes of your progeny through their aesthetic stranglehold of the arts and entertainment. And so, we have widespread liberalism and atheism brainwashing generations ahead of us in all creative spaces. It’s time we start becoming active participants as either talent, collector, or patron. Every art gallery you visit in New York City, much like every church in the city, has either a Black Lives Matter or LGBTQ rainbow flag for a reason – in other words, “If you ain’t with us, you’re against us.”
And upon deeper introspection… All of this chaos: from the welfare state breaking down the nuclear family to the grotesque assaults and property damages displayed during these so-called protests or to the shameless identity-oriented hatred of white Americans in a country that is 75% Caucasian. All of this is only possible only because masculinity has been silenced in conjunction with the perilous state of the American church. Just think about the last time you’ve seen an unapologetic masculine figure in the dominant narrative who’s taken the culture by storm.
The 45th President Donald Trump, canceled.
Alex Jones, canceled.
And even Andrew Tate, canceled.
I’m not saying I agree with all of these men in a single wholesale write-off, that would be flippant, I am however stating that these men are a phenomenon in the first place because the West is starving for honorable and traditional masculinity.
In its absence, we have overcompensating and stereotypical bullies or fragile little snowflakes afraid of confrontation.
The matriarchy, or matrix, can only succeed when strong men are quiet.
As Arthur Schlesinger Jr. wrote in Esquire on November 1, 1958 – what we have here is The Crisis of American Masculinity. Even as far back as three generations, we reveal the vilification of men embracing their maleness as more of a problem than a natural God-given right. While they do not use disparaging terminology we hear today like “toxic masculinity” or the patriarchy, the language of the article exhibits a generation of men who feel self-conscious about their conception of masculinity.
For example, I’ve stated on stages across the country a dozen times that the appeal of hip-hop is rooted in the egregious single motherhood rate, especially in the black community. And the freedom to be hyper-masculine in the absence of a balanced example at home is the allure young men have to the thick gold chains, prostitutes, and face tattoos.
Competitive video games, Donald Trump, and gangster rap all share the desire to swing the pendulum as far as possible in the other direction in a culture that penalizes any semblance of masculinity in the public square.
Growing up watching films with my father in the evenings such as Indiana Jones, Braveheart, and Shawshank Redemption was both entertaining and educational. You were being shown that Good ultimately triumphs over evil with bravery and discipline. You were shown that effeminacy in men predisposed their destinies to weakness and failure. Fast forward to today where every sitcom dad is depicted as a blathering idiot who consistently trips on his shoelaces only to be graciously corrected by his all-seeing and compassionate wife.
Look at Homer Simpson or Phil Dunphy, then look at our movie titles – She-Hulk, The Woman King, and Suffragette. Outside of film we have normalized terminology such as toxic masculinity and the patriarchy on college campuses. The reason Matt Walsh’s documentary “What is a Woman?” went viral in the first place is due to masculinity being shoved so far into the corner and a collective recognition that there is a strategic effort to debase and target all the trappings of classical masculinity here in the West.
What we need, is some masculine art.
The Blood & Fire Project is a mission-oriented art series devoted to spreading the aesthetic appreciation of masculinity. An ongoing painting series depicting the rise and fall of men throughout history rendered in fiery tones to promote awareness of the sacrifice that undergirds the very culture we take advantage of. Masculinity needs to be revitalized both in and out of the arts, with its rise means a stronger church and country. And it starts in your home. The objective of this painting series is to get men all over the country to install an original 11 x 14” artwork that represents a wholesome and benevolent representation of masculinity.
The Blood & Fire Project is a reminder to endure all things in the light of God and to protect your values by never being silenced because of your masculinity. We have martyrs, church fathers, warriors, philosophers, and iconic men of the West reminding you that your masculinity is not meant to be hidden, it’s not mansplaining or “manspreading”.
It is self-mastery and the overcoming of adversity, it is catharsis and it is liberation.
Get yourself armed, be an example, collect some art, and be masculine.
