Oh House of Israel--In the Slave Ships!…
This famous diagram shows how slaves were tightly packed into the slave ships
It so amazes me how some European Bible Scholars seem to have so much problems interpreting Ezekiel’s words. I don’t have any problem at all but that is probably because it’s a personal thing. Many people seem to dwell on the words of Moses concerning DEUTERONOMY 28:68 and never search beyond the Pentateuch to look deeper into the other writings by other authors and for this reason have missed other detailed descriptions of the Slave Ship prophecy.
The Bible is confirmative, meaning other authors have written about circumstances at a different times as a form of validation. Ezekiel and other major prophets further confirm the prophecy of Moses concerning this incredible human degradation. And the reason I can really identify with what Ezekiel wrote is because of my own personal story and connection with my own Great-grandmother of whom was brought over here to America specifically during the late part of this era in which the slave voyages had become so systematic certain facts became well documented such as the length of time it took for these yearly triangle trade expeditions to come to completion from the beginning to end. Because my Great-grandmother was brought over hear in the late age, I have the benefit and opportunity to listen to some of my living relatives who knew her personally. Therefore, I became passionate about going beyond just hearing the stories and did some research in order to connect history. I was shocked to find these scriptures written by Ezekiel of whom lived thousands of years before this prophecy even came to pass and, even more shocked at how accurate he has been. The prophet Isaiah also confirms this experience with detail even regards to the Hebrew Israelites being predominantly victimized in the late age of this Middle Passage Slave Ship Era. He wrote that the Cush Hamites would become ‘predominantly’ the first victims sought out. I’ve come to realize that even before the white man even understood the Bible or was able to read it when it came off of the printing press in the 1500s and especially in 1611, they were already in motion, going out to commit this great evil…But their works have preceded them in script!
My Great-grandmother was stolen as a little girl and because of her death date, this fact becomes so easy to confirm. She was taken from East Africa byway of the Arab Slave trade system from the Port of Sudan during a ten year period in which Muhammad Ali was on the rise in Egypt during the 1830s. From my understanding, he was supported by Syria and did not even speak Egyptian but he became a leader. The window of opportunity that caused my Great-grandmother to be stolen also becomes easy to confirm her fate. During that time period the regime under Syrian dominion participated in a terrible slave raiding endeavor that can be tracked with marked precision because it only lasted for a ten year period and also, due to the specific names of certain infamous slave traders. In addition, even though the British had stated that they had abolished slavery, in actuality, it was only on paper but not truth. They had docked two British Slave ships on the Port of Sudan at the time period that this rampage was going on throughout the Sudan. My grandmother died around 1925 and this date certainly agrees with that time period! According to secular history when the slave ships left from East Africa, it took them a whole year before their triangle trade was completed, and they rounded the tip of Africa and either docked in specific coastlands for a set time period such as one of the islands or West Africa. The last departure would have been either South America or North America and at that late date and time America was obviously still doing business as usual!
As Ezekiel wrote in the first few chapters, the Hebrews were judged during the time of their nations both the Northern Ten Tribes and the Southern Nation because they had become evil. Their kings had made marriage bonds with the Phoenicians and Assyrians and they began worshiping white idols such as Baal and Ashteroth. Furthermore because some of the kings had become so inter-mixed they even adopted pagan customs and rituals and had even conducted human sacrifice rituals and etc. Therefore, when they ran into problems with the Assyrians and the later Chaldeans, the Creator did not save them. And since that early time of being scattered, specifically the Ten Tribes, they were never allowed to form their government again until the after the end time judgment according to prophecy. The 390 day period becomes a marked confirmation of the Slave Ship voyages that set sail from the ports of East Africa. Due to the weather and seasons, the slave ships could not even set sail until a certain time. A year later when they docked on the coast of America, the slaves were not even permitted to come out until a set day; LABOR DAY. Prior to that time of picnicking [hence the word ‘picnic’], the slaves were washed down in the ships and treated and then they would go through other preparations when after they left the ships. Therefore the time period they were on board those ships agrees with the prophecy of Ezekiel to an amazing precision.

…This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the
number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
For I have laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three
hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel…
And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till
thou hast ended the days of thy siege. Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and
lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according
to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou
eat thereof. And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time
to time shalt thou eat it. Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time
to time shalt thou drink. And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that
cometh out of man, in their sight. And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat
their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and
they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with
astonishment:…
