I'm North African!


I've been doing a lot of research about genealogies and DNA lately while working with Paul Wittenberger on a new documentary film "Marching to Zion," so I decided to get my DNA checked for ethnicity. In the past, when I had studied my genealogy, the only nationalities I had ever been able to come up with were English, Irish, Swedish, Danish, and Swiss, as I reported in a previous blog post. The results of my DNA testing, which are reported to be 99.99% accurate, showed how little I know about my ancestry, even having done a lot of research. Many people think they know exactly what nationality they are, but things are much more complicated than that. I thought of myself as being 100% white European, but it turns out that more than anything, I am ethnically a Moroccan Berber from Northwest Africa and a Spaniard!

Why do we know so little about our ancestry? First of all, just because a person is from a certain country or has a certain last name, that doesn't mean that they have that ethnicity. For example, just because your ancestors are from England, that doesn't mean they are Anglo-Saxons. Spain and England are very close together, and most Spanish people are white, so people from Spain could easily end up in England and vice-versa. The reason we think of Hispanic people as being brown is that we are thinking of Mexicans who are a mixture of Spanish and American Indian. Also, Morocco is very close to Spain, and all of these countries were very heavily involved in sea trade, which would involve a lot of people moving back and forth from place to place.

Not only that, but looking at your family tree does not take things like adoption and adultery into account. How in the world could you know if your ancestors from 200 years ago were adopted or were the product of an adulterous affair by your great great great great great great grandmother? Stranger things have happened.

My DNA was tested against 400 people groups, and I was given a list of the top 50 matches in order of prominence. The reason that certain people groups are repeated (for example, I am a Moroccan Berber 7 different ways) is that there are different subgroups within each ethnicity, and I had genetic ties with various types of Moroccan Berbers. Not only was Moroccan Berber listed 7 times in my results, 5 of them were in my top 10!

My #2 most prominent ethnicity came out as Spanish. Not only that, but Spanish was repeated a total of 7 times. Polish showed up a little lower on the list (#5) but was repeated 8 times. 9 of my ethnicities are simply labeled as "white," meaning a homogenous mixture of white people from the U.S. and Canada (this would encompass a lot of English, Irish, Swedish, Danish, etc., basically, everything I thought I was!). Some of the other things on the list that were interesting are Romani (Gypsy), Arab (I'm a son of Ishmael! haha No wonder I defended him in a sermon recently!), Egyptian, Native American, etc.

Once you learn about this, it become silly to be so hung up about "race." We are all mixed! I guess I can start calling myself an "African American" now! The Bible was right when it said that all nations are of one blood. If anyone hasn't heard it already, I would strongly recommend my recent sermon that proved that all of us are direct descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, one way or another.

Here is the full listing of my results followed by my "Certificate of Ethnicity:"

1. Moroccan Berbers
2. Iberian Peninsula - Andalusian Spanish
3. Moroccan Berbers
4. Romani - Presov, Slovak Republic
5. Polish - Northern

Israel Moments

This series of short videos will use literally hundreds of clear Bible verses to prove that the Jews are no longer God's chosen people, but that rather, we as believers are God's chosen people, whether we be Jew or Gentile. The videos will also prove that the modern day state of Israel is a fraud. There will probably be about 100 moments in all. Here is a synopsis of the first ten:

Israel Moment #1 - Christians are Citizens of Israel (Ephesians 2:11-19)
Israel Moment #2 - So-called "Jews" are not Real Jews (Romans 2:28-29)
Israel Moment #3 - Jewish Synagogue = Synagogue of Satan (Revelation 2:9)
Israel Moment #4 - Revelation 3:9 on the Synagogue of Satan
Israel Moment #5 - Christians Inherit the Promises of Abraham (Genesis 12:1-3, Galatians 3:16,28-29)
Israel Moment #6 - All Nations Blessed Through Faithful Abraham (Genesis 12:2-3, Galatians 3:7-8)
Israel Moment #7 - Christ-rejecting Jews are Children of the Devil (John 8:39-44)
Israel Moment #8 - Abraham is not the Father of the Jews (Matthew 3:9)
Israel Moment #9 - The Holy Nation is made up of all True Christians (1 Peter 2:9-10, Romans 9:24-25, Hosea 1:9)
Israel Moment #10 - Israel is no longer the Holy Nation (Exodus 19:5-6)

Many more moments are coming soon!
