Keith Thompson has produced a good video refuting the false teachings of Black Hebrew Israelites.
If you aren't aware of these groups, the basic teaching is that black, native American, and Asian people are descendants of the Lost Ten Tribes of Israel, and that they will be restored to a leadership role in the Millennial reign of Jesus Christ.
Some of them are now being "enlightened" and are preaching on the streets of larger cities in the USA.
Certain groups within the Black Hebrew Israelite movement harass white and Asian people on the streets of larger cities. They will call white people "Edomites" and Asian people "Moabites".
Some believe that white and Asian people will be their slaves in the Millennium, and will be cast in the lake of fire at the end of the Millennium. They claim that they will be allowed by God to rape the women at will.
I believe that the teachings of this group are a distorted version of British Israelism, which taught that individuals of white European descent were the physical descendants of Israel.
Herbert Armstrong, the founder of the Armstrongite cult which includes United Church of God, Restored Church of God, Living Church of God and Philadelphia Church of God, taught British Israelism and made it popular in the USA.
It was taught by individuals in the UK almost a century before Armstrong was born, even though it was one of the supposed "truths" that he professed to restore...he claimed that his organization was a restoration of the true faith.
By the way, there are Armstrongites on this site, and they believe they will be fully God in the resurrection, and will reign over the rest of mankind during the Millennium. Additionally, they believe they are the "true faith" and deny the Christianity of others. They claim that observance of the Sabbath, festivals of Levitics 23 and clean meat laws are requirements of salvation. The thinking is very similar to the Black Hebrew Israelites.
I was an Armstrongite for over a decade. It was a common belief amongst them that Herbert Armstrong was a descendant of King David, and that the ministry were largely descended from the tribe of Levi.
