Sold To the Enemy as Slaves

.....and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen...

1{A Song or Psalm of Asaph.} Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they have consulted together with one consent: they are a confederacy against thee: Psalm 83:1-5 

 

Since Israel’s conception, Satan has tried to destroy and uproot The Most High God’s chosen people. Rather it be through war, causing them to disobey The Most High's word, or by bondage. He has always tried to take over The Most High’s throne by overtaking Israel, and ultimately Jerusalem.  Satan has a great influence over the world and from time to time would coerce a confederacy of nations who would constantly plot Israel’s demise. In 70 A.D. after the Roman Empire destroyed Jerusalem and the Jews were exiled,  many ultimately escaped to West Africa and began building cities and great nations. But history repeated itself and they began to accept the false gods of other nations in exchange for trade and commerce. Centuries later, the plagues of Deuteronomy 28 began to fall upon them, famine and the sword found the descendants of Israel, and they once again fell into despair. When their enemies found them, they marveled at how much God's people had fallen. Deut 29:24-28 These same nations offered the fallen of Israel opportunities for work and prosperity in a land full of milk and honey, but when they got to the sands of the waters to board the ships, they were held at gun point and forced into cages only to be stacked in the hulls of ships and carried away into what later became

The Atlantic Slave Trade.
