Are the Jukuns Jews? By Apostle Dr. Genesis Dawuda


Are the Jukuns Jews? By Apostle Dr. Genesis Dawuda

The people shall dwell alone and shall not be reckoned among the nations. Numbers 23:9

They shall be wanderers among the nations. Hosea 9:17

 

Jukuns! Jews? I know it sounds so funny, crazy and unbelievable. But don’t laugh and fall off your seat. I am serious, are the Jukuns Jews? History is a very wonderful subject, unappetizing when starting it but rewarding when it comes to applying it to real life situations.

In tracing one’s root there are many sources of information that an individual can draw from . it could be Anthropological, Biological, Biblical, Archeological or historical.

Some very important things we must put at the back of our minds are that:

  1. The Jukuns came from the middle east (Yemen)
  2. The ten lost tribes of Israel taken into captivity by Assyria lost all traces of their heritage.
  3. And the other two tribes that went into captivity in Babylon did not stay long in captivity.
  4. God asks Ezekiel, can this dry bones live again?
  5. God said in Deut. 28:58-ff (The Message Translation)

If you don’t diligently keep all the words of this Revelation

written in this book, living in holy awe before This Name glorious

and terrible, GOD, your God, then GOD will pound you with

catastrophes, you and your children, huge interminable

catastrophes, hideous interminable illnesses. He’ll bring back

and stick you with every old Egyptian malady that once terrorized

you. And yes, every disease and catastrophe imaginable–things

not even written in the Book of this Revelation–GOD will bring on

you until you’re destroyed.

Because you didn’t listen obediently to the Voice of GOD, your

God, you’ll be left with a few pitiful stragglers in place of the

dazzling stars-in-the-heavens multitude you had become.

And this is how things will end up: Just as GOD once enjoyed

you, took pleasure in making life good for you, giving you many

children, so GOD will enjoy getting rid of you, clearing you off

the Earth. He’ll weed you out of the very soil that you are

entering in to possess. He’ll scatter you to the four winds,

from one end of the Earth to the other. You’ll worship all kinds

of other gods, gods neither you nor your parents ever heard of,

wood and stone no-gods. But you won’t find a home there, you’ll

not be able to settle down. GOD will give you a restless heart,

longing eyes, a homesick soul. You will live in constant

jeopardy, terrified of every shadow, never knowing what you’ll

meet around the next corner.

In the morning you’ll say, “I wish it were evening.” In the

evening you’ll say, “I wish it were morning.” Afraid, terrorized

at what’s coming next, afraid of the unknown, because of the

sights you’ve witnessed.

GOD will ship you back to Egypt by a road I promised you’d never

see again. There you’ll offer yourselves for sale, both men and

women, as slaves to your enemies. And not a buyer to be found.

Anthropologically, I’ll refer you to Dr. C.K. Meek’s book “A Sudanese Kingdom” in order to find some Jewish heritage among the Jukun. These are:

(a)   The eastern gate entrance by the king: All turn their horses swiftly and gallop back again to meet the king as he enters the eastern gate amidst loud shouts welcome from his people. Page 152

(b)   The triumphant entry by the King: About 3pm most of the commoners return to Wukari in order to welcome the King when he makes his triumphant entry. It is note-worthy that whereas during the day the king and his officials are all dressed in the typical Jukun fashion, i.e. with a cloth rolled at the waist and extending to the feet, the upper part of the body being left bared, these garments are changed for the triumphal return to the capital. All the officials wear gowns, the king dons the coat known as nyipo, which is decorated with red and white representations of birds and scorpions. He is surrounded by twenty grooms one of whom fans him while another holds the State umbrella close to his head. Pages 151,152

(c)    Lion as a symbol of kingship: The drummers announce the Kings arrival by playing two chants… The second is a tonic representation of “Gâ kyô ri bi, Zêku Gâ kyô ri bi, ni she.” i.e. the slouching gait: the lion approaches with slouching gait: take to your heels!” When the king reaches the shrine of Yaku he reins his horse and says “Hî” in imitation of a lion’s grunt.

(d)   Jacob and Esau relative account.

(e)   Feared by other nations: “The very thorough study of the Jukun peoples and peoples under Jukun influence presented by C.K. Meek in these pages is based on data obtained during considerable sojourn among the Jukun groups of Nigerian peoples who extend more or less from the Gongola River to Igboland, but are now merely a shrunken relic of a confederation known as  Kwararafa which, in the middle ages dominated a very large portion of the country now called Hausaland, as well as the Benue region and further south.” H.R. Palmer (page xiii)

(f)     Feast of In-gathering (Puje) or festival of booths. There is a striking resemblance between the Arago custom and the Hebrew seven-day Feast of ingathering. The Puje festival is held in the booths outside Wukari at the close of the harvest, and last seven days. “It may be that the Israelitish festival also had originally to do with the cult of the moon.” C.K. Meek

(g)   Proud as a chosen race

(h)   Intelligent: Their concept of running a loosely knit confederacy is second to none.

(i)     Wanderers: It will be seen therefore that the general African ethnographical bearing or application of this study of Jukun influence or culture which radiated through a large number of other tribes in greater or lesser degree will be largely determined by the answer to the question: Who are the Jukuns and where did they come from? For, according not only to their own traditions but the traditions of their neighbours, they were not originally indigenous either to the the Benue region, their their present main habitat, or in fact to Nigeria, but migrated from Kordofan and the region of the Nile, through the Fitri region, Mandara, and the Gongola region of the Nile Valley then many of Mr. Meek’s cultural comparisons with Egypt gain a weight which will not otherwise attach to them. If the half-hamitic connection of the ruling caste is true could it mean that God really brought the Jews back to Egypt? Who must have written some coded messages in the pyramids in Egypt that’s related to the messianic prophecies.

(j)     Theocratic system of Government: They represent the gods in administering the whole land after their dictates. In which he operates both in the priestly and kingly authority.

(k)    A supreme Temple: There is a Temple in the premise of the Aku’s palace.

Archaeologically

A few years ago, I learnt that some Jews came all the way to Nigeria, even to Wukari, looking for an archaeological remains, an ancient weapon of war. The rest is not for me to reveal, because it is not in my power to do just that.

Graphology:

The Jukuns have a unique style of handwriting which is synonymous with the Hebrew language. Not all write it but some special people with the court of the King. The rain makers use it and when crowning a new king, that cryptic identical to the Hebrew cryptic is used to make some inscription on his (the Aku’s) thigh. Rev. 19:16 (On his robe and thigh is written, KING OF KINGS, LORD OF LORDS.)

Haven’t you wondered why God is still so interested in Nigerian affairs? To the extent that some people have even said that God must be a Nigeria. If not so, just one crisis is enough to do jaga jaga (mess up) with this country.

Biologically

Honestly, I have not embarked upon this project. Most lost jewish tribes are confirmed by result of Y chromosomes found in all males. Do you know that the Jukuns are always sleeping with one eye opened? If it’s not war with one ethnic group it’s territorial crisis with another. When it’s night they wish it’s morning, if it’s morning they wish it were night.

How they survive their wars is really a miracle attested to by so many natives.

History shows that the Jews have always survived and participated in different civilizations and onslaughts by their enemies.

Now that the jews in diaspora (the true Israel) are gathering together, to mark the end of the prophetic Gentile times recorded in the Bible; it’s no surprise to me that the Kwararafa Heritage is making a roll call of those in diaspora by a divine hand that is making the dry bones to live again.

If America wakes up to find out that most of the people that make up her population are Israelites (of the ten lost tribes) her role in global politics will take another dimension. For more please visit www.vinesbranch.com

Even though it seems they have lost their identity, they have not lost their blessings of re-gathering to inherit their promised land. Isaiah 49:1-ff must be fulfilled before Our Lord Jesus Christ returns to earth.

To get the favor of God back we need to follow the instructions below in God’s Holy Writ (The Message Bible Translation):

Deuteronomy 28

If you listen obediently to the Voice of GOD, your God, and

heartily obey all his commandments that I command you today, GOD,

your God, will place you on high, high above all the nations of

the world. All these blessings will come down on you and spread

out beyond you because you have responded to the Voice of GOD,

your God:

GOD’s blessing inside the city,

GOD’s blessing in the country;

GOD’s blessing on your children,

the crops of your land,

the young of your livestock,

the calves of your herds,

the lambs of your flocks.

GOD’s blessing on your basket and bread bowl;

GOD’s blessing in your coming in,

GOD’s blessing in your going out.

GOD will defeat your enemies who attack you. They’ll come at you

on one road and run away on seven roads.

GOD will order a blessing on your barns and workplaces; he’ll

bless you in the land that GOD, your God, is giving you.

GOD will form you as a people holy to him, just as he promised

you, if you keep the commandments of GOD, your God, and live the

way he has shown you.

All the peoples on Earth will see you living under the Name of

GOD and hold you in respectful awe.

GOD will lavish you with good things: children from your womb,

offspring from your animals, and crops from your land, the land

that GOD promised your ancestors that he would give you. GOD

will throw open the doors of his sky vaults and pour rain on your

land on schedule and bless the work you take in hand. You will

lend to many nations but you yourself won’t have to take out a

loan. GOD will make you the head, not the tail; you’ll always be

the top dog, never the bottom dog, as you obediently listen to and

diligently keep the commands of GOD, your God, that I am

commanding you today. Don’t swerve an inch to the right or left

from the words that I command you today by going off following and

worshiping other gods.

In conclusion, I didn’t say the Jukuns are Jews, I’m just asking you to help me find out. Anyway, what if I tell you that they are? There’s nothing that you can do about it.

Jukun Custom in the Bible by Apostle Dr. Genesis Dawuda


Jukun Custom in the Bible by Apostle Dr. Genesis Dawuda
“Whosever possesses riches, since he has sufficient to eat and clothe himself, the rest he must give to his needy brother, for whom Christ died on the cross. If he doesn’t give, if he closes his heart to the needs of his poor brother, he is committing a mortal sin, because the love of God is not in him.”
“Woe betide those whose cellars and granaries are well-stocked, whose closets are full, while the poor people of Christ beg at their door, starving and naked.”
“It isn’t enough to hold out one’s hand, one must continue to gesture with love and affection. It isn’t true charity if while seeing the need of their soul, or if seeing to the needs of the soul, we don’t see to the needs of the body. He who suffers needs to be consoled. Think of all those unhappy people who, ostracized by society, are found to beg, crying in rags, imagine the misery” No one may consider his own that which he obtained through violence, nor convert to luxury and pleasure that which is the nourishment of one and all. That piece of bread you keep in the pantry belongs to the hungry, those clothes you accumulate in the closet belong to the unclothed, the money you keep hidden belongs to the poor.
Be aware that you are committing a crime against all those to whom you deny charity. Nature creates us poor; naked we die. Iniquity created the rich, and who craves to be rich will fall into the trap of the devil.” St. Anthony of Padua

The Jukun Custom in the Bible
And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed him unto the Lord to be the chief governor, and Zadok to be priest. Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him” 1 Chronicles 29:22,23
I have found this research so interesting that I have to share it with you.
The Jewish kingship has a strong concept of Theocracy with the king appointed as God’s vicar or ( Representative). Solomon sat on the Lord’s throne as King. It wasn’t really as if God threw or dispatched Angels to bring a very wonderful-looking throne from heaven. Because it was the very throne that David his father sat upon to rule over Israel for forty years.
In Haggai 2:23 GNB “On that day I will take you, Zerubabel my servant, and I will appoint you to rule in my name. You are the one I have chosen, the Lord Almighty has spoken.
The Jukun system of government is also based on the concept of theocracy where the king is the representative of the gods divinely appointed to meditate between the gods and the people.
In obeying the king the people believe they are obeying the gods. The king is supreme. His decision has a divine authority, and there is no appeal. In his person all legislative, judicial and executive functions were merged. He exacted tributes in kind, bundles of corn from all at harvest time, and gifts of beer on the occasion of any private religious celebration. He was the recipient of gifts from all persons seeking any of the numerous offices.
“The authority of the king of kwararafa was therefore based purely on his religious supremacy without the concurrence of the people of the chiefdom. It was apparent within his discretion to summon any head of a chiefdom to his capital.”
Tributes:
“The group of believers was one in mind and heart. None of them said that any of their belongings were their own, but they all shared with one another everything they had. With great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and God poured rich blessings on them all. There was no one in the group who was in need. Those who owned field or houses would sell them, bring the money received from the sale, and hand it over to the apostles; and the money was distributed to each one according to his need” Acts 4:32-36
“All the believers continued together in close fellowship and shared their belonging with one another, they would sell their property and possessions, and distribute the money among all, according to what each one needed.” Acts 2:43-46.
“The people had given willingly to the Lord, and they were happy that so much had been given. King David also was extremely happy” 1 Chron. 29:9
The texts I quoted above show us that the Bible contains lots of passages where God’s people gave to God through His representatives willingly. Out of a free will.
Among the Jukuns “in those days the subject brings in everything they have, to the palace and the Aku(King) feeds them. Now, these are no more.” Says Bishop Sangari, he further added that “Nobody sends in harvest to the palace as in former times, everybody now returns his property to himself. Another account says that nowadays, the chiefs and rulers of these localities pay tribute to the Aku Uka in the form of cash, or vehicles or clothing and the like. In addition to tributes from the various chiefs of the jukuns, everyone in the area is expected (by freewill) to give the Aku Uka food items at the end of annual harvests.
The tribute paid to the Jukun king from people far and near showed how important he was in the life of the people. The tributes from the chiefs of other tribes were sign of their subjugation to the sovereignty of the Aku Uka. According to Rev. Kwabe “the food items given to him(Aku) by jukun families were expected to make the king to continue to care for the poor in the community. He is to be given enough to enable him to assist the needy who go to him, such as the destitute, widows, orphans, the aged and generally the weak or disadvantaged. Though this giving to the king is no longer emphasized, many Jukun families including chieftains continue to send annual gifts to the Aku Uka.
“ At the end of every third year bring the tithe of all your crops and store it in your towns. This food is for the levites, since they own no property and for foreigners, orphans, and widows who live in oyur towns. They are to come and get all they need. Do this, and, the LORD your God will bless you in everything you do.” Deut. 14:28,29
Strange disappearance or vanishing of persons
Enoch
‘He spent his life in fellowship with God, and then he disappeared, because God took him.’ Gen. 5:24
Moses
‘So Moses, the Lord’s servant, died there in the land of Moab, as the Lord has said he would. The Lord buried him in a valley in Moah, opposite the town of Bethpeor, but to this day no one knows the exact place of his burial.’ Deut. 34:5,6
‘Not even the chief angel Michael did this. In his quarrel with the devil, when they argued about who would have the body of Moses, Michael did not dare condemn the Devil with insulting words, but said, “The Lord rebuke you” Jude vs 9
Elijah
“They kept talking as they walked on: then suddenly a chariot of fire pulled by horses of fire came between them, and Elijah was taken up to heaven by a whirlwind. Elisha saw it and cried out to Elijah, “my father, My father! Mighty defender of Israel! You are gone!” And he never saw Elijah again.” 2 Kings 2:11,12
Jesus
‘He was taken up to heaven as they watched him, and a cloud hid him from their sight.” Acts 1:9 GNB
Jukun Kings
The Jukuns cannot locate the graves of their past kings because they generally believe that the king does not die but disappears or vanishes into the spirit world(Mando) where spirits of rulers go to. There are also myths concerning some Jukun kings who “have entered the ground or entered a tree and disappeared never to be seen again. Hence, for the Jukuns, it is a taboo to say that the king dies” (Kwabe, Nyampa Tizhe, Messianic Themes in Psalms 72 Jukun Kingship)
Agbukenjo’s Case
Agbukenjo, the fortieth King, when an old man, and feeling his end approaching sent for his two sons. Katakpa and Ajonwudu, who had founded the town of Wukari. At the same time he sent his two younger sons, Ate and Abe, who lived in Kwararafa, but who lacked respect for him, off on a hunting trip. On Katakpa’s arrival he gave him all the articles connected with the chieftainship, collected the people, and pointing to their new chief, said ‘follow him across the river’ (that is river Donga) adding the Canoe man to take him through must be a deaf man. After Katakpa had gone, Agbukenjo, accompanied by a youth went to a ‘Kiriya’ tree and clapped his hands where upon the trunk split open, Agbukenjo stepped inside and the trunk closed around him.” (Relics of Kwararafa Volume 2, Issue 1)
In conclusion the Holy Bible states in Acts 17:30,31 “God has overlooked the times when people did not know Him, but now he commands all of them everywhere to turn from their evil ways. For he has fixed a day in which He will judge the whole world with justice by means of a man He has chosen. He has given proof of this to everyone by raising that man from death.”
The Bible also says in 2 Corinths 5:17 “therefore if any person is (engrafted) in Christ (the Messiah) he is a new creation (a new creature altogether); the old (previous moral and spiritual condition) has passed away. Behold, the fresh and new has come! (AMP)
According to Pastor Daniel Paul DeGracia (II) “The number one problem with the body of Christ today is something I call inferiority complex-it’s the notion that we are somehow so powerless and unable to live life that we are destined to go from failure to failure, crises to crises, getting worse all the time as a perpetual reminder that our home is not below, but above. We have become so excessively diluted by worldly philosophy and opinions that the miraculous and wonder working force that so typifies every page of the Bible is perceived in our modern day to be extinct.”
Jesus Christ has called His servants to be His personal representatives of authority on earth, and to all those that believe, he grants the power of God Almighty so that whatsoever is born of God might overcome the world. We need to seriously consider the fact that God gave us authority and power to represent the kingdom of heaven, and we need to use that power proactively to bring the world under the dominion of God and His Christ Jesus.
God has chosen you my brother/sister in your capacity to be His REPRESENTATIVE. Isn’t it time you start representing Him with authority and power?
Now I charge you to receive the power, and go shake the planet as God’s representative.

What do you think about the dressing of…


What do you think about the dressing of the Grammy Award recipients. Did you see what Rihana wore? You can literally see through the gown. Something is wrong with our dressing culture. These people are no longer role models for our children. I don’t think they’ve ever being. Their dress code was terrible. So learn to look up to Jesus and your conscience.
