If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

Who Were & Who Are Assyrians & Syrians?
Unity Consciousness #459

.

Three Things To Consider Initially

Firstly, Most people, names and locations of places have undergone transformation. Assyria is an earlier name. Syria is a later name. The geographical borders have changed many times largely due to Assyrians invading and colonizing others and others invading and colonizing Assyria and its territories. As a result, the tribal lineage of the kings and the people of Assyria changed several times, not necessarily drastically.

At the level of physical appearance, Syrians of today are not representative of the ancient Assyrians or representative of those in the Judeo-Christian Bible.

Secondly, just as with most empires, not all territories always touch each other but are often separated by other countries and oceans. It is likely there were moments when portions of Assyria were not contiguous. In the mid-1780s, Volney wrote:
“Leaving Egypt by the Isthmus which separates Africa from Asia, and following the coast of the Mediterranean, we enter a second province of Turkey, called Syria. This name, an abridgment of “Assyria,” was first adopted by the lonians who frequented those coasts, after the Assyrians of Niniveh had reduced Ionia to be a province of their empire. That is about the year 750 B.C." (1)

“Ionia was a colony of Kemet. Its location today would be in parts of present-day Jordan, Israel and Syria.” (2)

Thirdly, names and spellings of places and people were often changed due to differences in dialect, due to family who gained control or due to preference. Often the changes were due to attempts to obscure history. To make things slightly more confusing, there are several instances of the same name being given to two locations, often continents apart. For instance, there have been at least two Thebes and two Babylons. I am told there were two locations for Kush/Cush and Jersusalem/Herusalem.

The Ethiopian Babylonian Elamite Assyrians & Original African Biblical Jews

“Herodotus, who visited Mesopotamia in the Fifth Century, B.C., mentions the dark skins of the people. He calls them Ethiopians but says their hair was straighter than those of the Western Ethiopians who, he says, had woolly hair. The Elamites [Susa/Susiana], however, seemed rather to have belonged to the more Negroid stock of the west as their hair as seen on the monuments is short and woolly. "The Elamites," says Sir Harry Johnston," appear to have been a Negroid people with kinky hair and to have transmitted this racial type to the Jews and Syrians. There is a curliness of the hair, together with a Negro eye and full lips in the portraiture of Assyria which conveys the idea of an evident Negro element in Babylonia.” (3)

“In the 7th Century, B.C., Asia's first successful invasion of Egypt was made by Assyria. This brought an Asiatic strain into the Egyptian population. Prior to that, Egyptian invaders had been carrying Egyptian blood into Syria, Palestine, Phoenicia, and Assyria for nearly two thousand years. After the Assyrians, came the Medes and Persians, who were also a mulatto race [Semitic].” (4)

"By the time of the latter Babylonian empire, Assyria had become predominantly Semitic. Diodorus Siculus spoke of Chaldea and Assyria as two separate and hostile nations distinct in every way in early times. Pliny draws a clear line between them. Classical traditions connect the primitive inhabitants of Assyria, Chaldea and Susiana, with Ethiopia.” (5)

“In the earliest ages, the nations of Persia, Assyria, Mesopotamia, and Syria were largely permeated with Kushite/Cushite Ethiopian blood. The temples of Elam, Belbec and Babylon were built by the same race that built the mighty structures of India and Egypt.” (6)

Nimrod The Assyrian

Nimrod, son of Cush, son of Ham, son of Noah was an Assyrian. Micah 5:6.

“Moses of Chorene, the great Armenian historian, identifies Belus, king of Babylon, with Nimrod and makes Nimrod the son of Cush. Bochart and other authorities translate the passage of the Scriptures that deals with the beginning of Nineveh to read that it was also founded by Nimrod and that he was the god Ninus of early Assyria, which in its beginning was Cushite. ” (7)

Some Other Ancient & Biblical Cities of Assyria

Bethrehob/Rehob: 2 Samuel 10:8, Nehemiah 10:9-11 of the Levites. Rehob was a Levite of the house of Jacob.

Damascus: 2 Samuel 8:5, 1 Chronicles 18:6, 2 Samuel 10:6, Isaiah 7:8

Gath: 1 Kings 2:39. likely Assyrian.

Geshur: 2 Samuel 15:17

Ishtob: 2 Samuel 10:8

Maachah, Maachathi, Maachathites: 2 Samuel 10:8, 1 Chronicles 19:6, Genesis 22:23-24 of the lineage of Abraham's brother.
Joshua 13:13, Nevertheless the children of Israel expelled not the Geshurites, nor the Maachathites: but the Geshurites and the Maachathites dwell among the Israelites until this day.

Medes, Median, Midian, Madian, Media, Medea, Medina: 2 Kings 17:6

Nineveh: See section on Nimrod above

Philistine: 1 Samuel 17:23, Ezekiel 16:57.

Tyre: Hiram, King of Tyre (1 Kings 5:1) had a father who was from Tyre and a mother who was of the Syrian tribe of Naphtali of Jacob (See below) Naphtali's mom was Bilhah (a maid of a Syrian household), Genesis 30:7-9

. Zoba/Zobah: 2 Samuel 10:6

Israel and Syria

fought together against the King of Judah. 2 Kings 16:5 and Isaiah 7:1. [Israel is the parent of the tribe of Judah] 2 Kings 16:6, At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath. [Evidently, the Israelites at that time must not have been the same as the Jews driven out of Elath, since the Israelites were fighting with the Syrians and thus would have been fighting against themselves.]

Semitic Reminder

Current day Semetic Syrians, Semetic Israelites and Semetic Jews are all related and are of multiple mixtures with a lineage all connected to Shem, Ham & Japheth.

Assyrians, Africans, Hamites & Black Folks Worldwide Are Among The Lord's People

Isaiah 11:11-12 states, the Lord shall recover the remnant of his people, from Assyria, and from Egypt, and from Pathros, and from Cush, and from Elam, and from Shinar, and from Hamath, and from the islands of the sea, the outcasts of Israel, and the dispersed of Judah from the four corners of the earth. [this actually covers all people on Earth, not just one “chosen” group, but is limited to the remnant]

Assyrians Based On The Christian Bible (KJV)

1. Jacob's mother, Rebekah, was a Syrian. Genesis 28:5.
2. Bethuel, Rebekah's father was a Syrian. Genesis 25:20.
3. Bethuel's father is Nahor, brother of Abraham. Genesis 22: 20-22.
4. Bethuel's mother is Milcah, daughter of Haran, Nahor's brother. Genesis 11:29.
5. Terah, Abraham (Abram) and Sarah (Sarai) Jacob's grandparents were born in Ur of Chaldees. Genesis 11:31.
6. Haran, Abraham's brother was born in Ur of Chaldees. Genesis 11:28.
7. At this point in history, Syrians are Chaldeans. As shown by these people being called or linked to Assyrian/Syrian in some places and Chaldean in others.

Abraham was Syrian & Chaldean

Deuteronomy 26:5, And thou shalt speak and say before the Lord thy God, A Syrian ready to perish was my father, and he went down into Egypt, and sojourned there with a few, and became there a nation, great, mighty and populous.

Jeshua (Jesus) The Syrian

This means Jeshua (Jesus) is of Syrian Chaldean descent, therefore of black African Kushite/Cushite Ethiopian lineage.
In broader terms, the bible used by Abrahamic religions is predominately about black African Kushite/Cushite Ethiopians. It is genetically and historically impossible for it to be otherwise. Without acknowledgment of family, we will be unable to access family memories that bring, bond and keep us together.

Family On Family Sin & Crime

Most of the time, people have been and are still at war with those who look significantly like themselves. This is why, in most unaltered historical accounts of those times, there is little or no references to color-based differences among the combatants. Differences were based on envy of fame/fortune, local practices and the logic of ideas. One of these main ideological differences being religious (human origin, birthright, destiny and the way).

Impatience for the acquisition of understanding weakens, debilitates, mutates and kills. Join that then with the desperate nature of relying on false notions about self. The result is denials that feed into religious-emotion-based imbalanced behaviors which all conclude “any means necessary” is an okay way to behave in order to feel complete. Anything, that is, except truth facing, error erasing and toxic replacing. This attitude is an ultimatum against the universality of knowledge of self, thus against the Most High. It leaves only one way out in order to function at all - create multiple forms of justification to go on the attack for what is lacked.

Who the Assyrians & Syrians were in ancient times has been understood and proven long before now. Consciousness is growing in multiple dimensions aided and abetted by the process of system restore.

Understanding the similarities and differences of Assyrian/Syria of today versus back-in-the-day will help us put other historical changes into a more comprehensive context. It will help us understand other areas of misunderstanding such as those associated with historical, biblical and present-day Kemet/Egypt. It will help reshape our thinking and behaviors so we can focus on combating family mistakes for betterment's sake.
