ADAM WAS A YORUBA MAN [blog theme: immortality]
I want to say from the word go, that I’m NOT writing this to please YOU. Neither am I writing it to please anybody, for that matter. I am writing it because God says, WRITE IT. Actually, he revealed these things to me in the year 2002 (15 years ago) and I have already, back then, preached it EXTENSIVELY and INTENSIVELY, and with deep understanding to the people, in the congregation that was under my charge (CHURCH OF THE SON, a product of HOLY GHOST CENTRE) in Ondo City.
Let it be also known that I am NOT preaching this because I am a Yoruba man. It’s just a matter of “coincidence” that I happen to be a Yoruba man, and God gave me this revelation about the Yoruba man; however, that “coincidence” could be “divine,” or have been divinely-arranged. I believe this. God wanted me to know something about the Yoruba man; he also wanted me to know something about Mankind in general. I happen to be a Yoruba man, and he revealed it to me. I hold this “revelation” with a sense of awesome responsibility, not knowing, as yet, the full extent of what its impact and/or implications would be, but knowing that God Who has “started” it will “finish” it in His good time.
There are many, I know, who would say, of what purpose is it to our salvation in Christ Jesus? I may not know or be able to tell you for now! It’s like asking, of what purpose is the book of Numbers to our salvation? God knows why that book is in the Bible. He also sure knows why this revelation he gave me 15 years ago is being brought to the fore at this time. Things are happening in the realm of the Spirit! “Shiftings” are taking place! The Lord is getting us ready for His Kingdom – here on this Earth (I know that jolts your “theology” of “heaven,” but we will come to that later.) The Lord surely says, if you know your Bible, that there will be a literal 1,000-year reign of Christ on this Earth. The Bible also says that there will be a New Earth as well as a New Heaven. The Bible even says that the “New Jerusalem” will come DOWN FROM HEAVEN and be planted on the New Earth. The Bible also continues, in saying that the throne of God will be upon that New Earth – in the New Jerusalem, and that His people (the redeemed) will see his face. And so on and so forth. These are FACTS in the Bible, but which our “theology” of an eternity in “heaven” has BLINDED our eyes to! Jesus even says, in Revelation 22:12, “Behold, I come quickly; and my REWARD is with me [when I come], to give every man according as his work shall be.” So, contrary to that “theology” that says that we’re going to heaven to “enjoy” the rewards that God has been “keeping” there for us, the TRUTH is that, they’re ONLY being kept there, for now, because that’s the ONLY place, right now, where thieves cannot steal them, neither moth (insects) corrupt them; but, when He comes, he will BRING THEM HERE! So, we’re going to RECEIVE THEM HERE! That’s what that scripture is saying!
But, be that as it may. We’re talking about Adam being a Yoruba man. But I had to tell you all of the afore-mentioned, so that, first, you will open your mind to “new” truth (not “new” in the sense of being anti-Biblical, but “new” because your former theological mind-set had been programmed, falsely, in another direction.) Also, I had to tell you all of that, because I need to show you, and in the context of the title of this message, that God is about something that is BIGGER and WIDER than “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Jesus is the Way (that’s why we need to BELIEVE on him and be SAVED – the New Birth, the New Creation, based on the finished work of CHRIST) – but He’s NOT the destination. Oh! I will explain that! Yes, he’s the destination in the sense that we’re called into HIM! Yes! We’re called into Him! To become a part and parcel of Him! A part and parcel of the Son! We’re NOT called into religion, but into HIM! We’re NOT called into a denomination, but into HIM! That’s TRUE, and it’s BASIC, and it’s ETERNAL! So, don’t get me wrong! But, He Himself (into Whom we have been called) is going somewhere! He’s taking us somewhere – to the Father; and, into THE FATHER! That’s why the Bible says, in Colossians chapter 3 and verse 3, that “our life is HID with Christ IN GOD.” Yes, he’s taking us INTO GOD – and there’ll be a literal manifestation of that – we’re called to become a part of the GODHEAD! Yes, you read it right!
And, not only that, Jesus made it abundantly clear, in his earthly walk, that He came to preach ONE THING – the Kingdom of God! That’s what he came to preach! You will see that especially throughout the books of Matthew, Mark and Luke. He kept emphasising the truth of the KINGDOM OF GOD. Even when he sent out his disciples to preach, he would say, “Heal the sick, raise the dead, tell them that the Kingdom of God is at hand.” The Kingdom was his EMPHASIS. Not speaking in tongues! [don’t get me wrong; that doesn’t take away the crucial place of speaking in tongues in the manifestation of that Kingdom] but his emphasis was THE KINGDOM! Not “salvation” [again, that does NOT take away the place of salvation, as an entry point into that KINGDOM – you must get things in their right perspectives, because these are the end-times when all things must be “restored” into their proper places, their proper perspectives, before the actual “end” will come. That’s why the Bible says, concerning Him, “Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution (restoration) of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.] God is about a KINGDOM! A Kingdom! A king’s domain! And he’s that KING – that’s the purpose of all this Gospel! – to bring to pass the setting up of His Kingdom right here in this World. And it is called the “Kingdom of HEAVEN” (an alternative expression to “the kingdom of God” in the Bible) because it’s a KINGDOM, though to be literally manifest on this Earth, it’s the kingdom that comes from the HEAVENLY REALMS, the realm where God currently dwells, but that KINGDOM will come HERE – that’s why the Bible, in Revelation 21:3, declares “the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God.” And all of that will be in the “new earth” (check the preceding verses.) Also, Peter, in II Peter 3:3-13, says, “Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, and saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also (this present earth), and all the works that are therein shall be burned up. Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation (conduct) and godliness (God-likeness), looking for and hasting unto the COMING (the COMING) of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved (the entire planetary systems in the universe, the galaxies, will go up in flames – dissolved, crumbled for ever), and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? Nevertheless we, ACCORDING TO HIS PROMISE (his Promise!), look for new heavens (-plural for “heavens” there – new planetary systems!) and A NEW EARTH (singular) wherein dwelleth RIGHTEOUSNESS.”
Also, in Matthew 24, when His disciples asked him, “when shall these things be? and what shall be the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?” Jesus gave them a number of “signs,” but the LAST “sign” that he gave them was this: (verse 14): “And this GOSPEL OF THE KINGDOM shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations [ethnicities!]; and then shall the end come.
So, God is about His Kingdom! His Kingdom comprises many parts – the Church (bought by the Blood of Jesus, and being the New Creation in Him) is only ONE of the parts of the Kingdom! Get that right! But it’s the key part that sets every other thing in place! Even Abraham will be in the Kingdom, but he’s not a part of the Church! John the Baptist will be there – but he’s not a part of the Church! He (John) himself said that! – in John 4:27-29, he said, “A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that hath the BRIDE (the ultimate expression of the CHURCH) is the Bridegroom: but the friend (friend) of the Bridegroom, which standeth and heareth (the bridegroom), rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my (John’s) joy therefore is fulfilled.” John will NOT be a part of the Bride, for he was NEVER a part of the CHURCH, but he will still be in the Kingdom – as the “FRIEND” of the Bridegroom!
Also, as we see (in context) in Matthew 24:14, the Kingdom (of God) is for NATIONS (ethnicities – that’s the translation of “NATION” in the Bible – from the word “ethnos”) to dwell in! God is interested in NATIONS (ethnicities!) That’s why the Book of Revelation is full of exultations (ecstacies!) about God, through Christ, saving us from every “nation” (ethnicity). “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy BLOOD out of every kindred (of humanity – Races), and tongue (languages), and people, and NATION (ethnos – ethnicity!)
God is interested in ethnicities; they’re the REAL nations! “Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth;.... And the sons of Ham;.... The children of Shem;... after their families (lineages), after their tongues (languages), in their lands (geographical territories), after their NATIONS (ethnic groups). These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their NATIONS (ethnic groups): and by these were the NATIONS (ethnic groups) divided in the earth after the flood” (Genesis chapter 10.)
Initially, even though the various genetic contents (of the various races and ethnic groups) were in them (Shem, Ham and Japheth), they were still speaking the same language, until the debacle at the Tower of Babel, when God “confounded” their language – that is, he gave each ethnic group its own language, so that they could leave building the Tower of Babel and spread over the earth, and find their own individual ethnic destiny and identity! God is WITH the ethnic nations; he is NOT against them!
What was that “original” language that they spoke (all the ethnic groups) before God “confounded” their language? It was the YORUBA language! You don’t have to believe that. I said I’m not writing it to please YOU. I got this from what God told me! If you don’t believe it, go and ask him! Peradventure you might be able to listen to him! Oh! I’m not expecting that it will be exactly the same Yoruba that we’re speaking today! 6,000 years have passed since the events at the Garden of Eden, and 4,000 years since the Flood of Noah’s time and after which the events of the Tower of Babel came to be, and, definitely, the language has evolved! How do I know that it was the Yoruba language that was spoken back then? God told me, in the year 2002, that Adam (the first man) was a YORUBA man! No, God didn’t give him that “tag” (Yoruba), but what God showed me is that that man, that first man, Adam, was the genetic embodiment of what we later came to know as the “Yoruba” man – the word “Yoruba” evolved with time. In actual fact, God told me (you can ask Him if you doubt) that the word “Adam” (and I’m not kidding please! I’m NOT for frivolities here, neither am I for ethnic sentiments, but TRUTH as the Lord said it to me) actually comes from an “exclamation!” that God made, when he made the first man from the dust of the ground (even, exegetically, the word “Adam” literally means “red dust” – what we would call “clay;”) so when God made the first man from CLAY (“amò” in Yoruba language) and gave LIFE to that CLAY, and CLAY, according to the book of Genesis, became a LIVING SOUL – able to think, will, and feel; and with the previously “clay” body now sinews and muscles and nerves, God exclaimed, in self-fulfilled excitement, “A dá amò” (“We create clay”, or “We have GIVEN LIFE to clay” – we have made “clay” to become “flesh” and a living soul!) It was a great moment of EXCITEMENT for God (he said to me!) He said, shoutingly, “A dá amò” (we’ve made CLAY to come ALIVE!) That’s the root of “Adam” (you can contest it, I don’t care; I’m only telling you what God told me in the year 2002).
Thus, the first man on planet Earth is what we now know as the YORUBA MAN, and the first language on Earth, spoken in the Garden of Eden, was the Yoruba language! This was the language that generations of humanity spoke until the time of the confounding of languages at the Tower of Babel when the Yoruba language became restricted, specifically, to what we now know as the “Yoruba” man. That is, today’s Yoruba man or Yoruba ethnic group, is the continuation of the original Yoruba man in the Garden of Eden – Adam.
But Noah had three sons – Shem, Ham and Japheth. Of the three of them, and especially after the Flood and the debacle at the Tower of Babel, it was Ham that retained his “amò” (red dust) skin (what we now call the Black race – you know nobody is really BLACK in that sense), while, genetically (and by phenotype) the generations of Shem and Japheth started transforming into the other Races (caucasian, Arab) of the earth. Of course there were all kinds of “differentiations” going on over decades and centuries, but that’s not the subject here.
The subject, here, is that the first man, Adam, was not only a BLACK man (or, better still, a “red-dust” colour man), but indeed a YORUBA man whose name “Adam” actually means “A dá amò” (we create “red dust;” we give LIFE to “red dust.”) That’s the TRUTH about the Human Race for you. Beyond-the-Bible (but revealed by God) and NOT contradicting the Bible. You have to understand that not everything could have been written in the Bible; but when God reveals it (like he did to me in the year 2002) and we know that it’s NOT contradicting anything in the Bible, we BELIEVE HIM! I BELIEVE GOD! Adam was a Yoruba man, a BLACK MAN.
Like I said earlier on, of the three sons of Noah, Ham was the one whose lineage retained their “blackness” (dark skin) while the lineages of Shem (progenitor of the Arabs and Israelites) and Japheth (progenitor of the caucasians) metamorphosed into the other races and their ethnic groups.
Now in the lineage of Ham (the “black” son of Noah, the continuation of the original stock from Adam) we have Ham giving birth to Cush and others. (Remember, when Miriam complained against Moses for marrying a Cushite woman? Some translations say “Ethiopian” woman – so you can see that Cush was a BLACK MAN, an AFRICAN – Africa is the geographical territory designated for Blacks, although there are overlaps – through forces beyond the scope of this write-up – whereby Arabs (today’s Egyptians, etc.) and caucasians (white South Africans) came into the continent. That’s outside the scope of this write-up.)
The fact, of Africa being the “designated territory” for Blacks (the lineage of Ham, the Black son of Noah) is further clarified in Psalm 105, verse 23, where the Psalmist, in discussing about how Jacob (which became Israel) came into the African territory – by coming into what we now know as Egypt,) said, “Israel also came into EGYPT; and Jacob sojourned in the land of HAM.” Present-day Egypt (even though those occupying there now are actually Arabs), and, by extension, the rest of the African continent, is the LAND OF HAM – the land of the Black son of Noah.
Like I said, Ham gave birth to Cush (by whose name the Ethiopians were identified.) And Cush gave birth to Nimrod (and others.) Nimrod is a progenitor of the Yoruba race. He’s the one we (in Yorubaland) call LAMURUDU. He was a Yoruba man.
Nimrod (Lamurudu, a Yoruba man) was the LEADER of this world as at the time of the Tower of Babel. “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the BEGINNING OF HIS KINGDOM WAS BABEL,..., in the land of Shinar.” Yes, the YORUBA MAN was the leader at Babel. That’s why the Yorubas are HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL – imagine somebody saying (back then) that a tower should be built that will reach unto heaven! And God had to STOP them because he knew they could do it! In fact, for your information, the University of Ife (and this is DOCUMENTED FACT), now known as the Obafemi Awolowo University, was ESTABLISHED by the government of Western Nigeria (when Western Nigeria was like a country on its own within the federation of Nigeria), for the PURPOSE of exploring the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, as epitomised in the Garden of Eden! That’s the truth. The Yoruba man, back then (in Adam, the first Yoruba man) was the one that ATE the knowledge of good and evil, contrary to God’s instruction! That’s why the Yoruba man is so DIABOLICAL – with incantations and all, wanting to be “as god,” which was the LIE that the Serpent sold to Eve. The Yoruba man (as Adam) was the One that plunged us into all of this mess that came to be known as the Fall, and from which Christ came to redeem us! And, just as Paul had caused so much havoc to the Church, and God decided that it was that same Paul that would bring the greatest glory to the Kingdom of God in his generation, so also God has specially laid hold on the Yoruba man (the original man that FELL in the Garden of Eden) in order, through him, and through the preaching of Jesus Christ from his mouth, to bring the whole world back to the Garden of Eden, even the New Jerusalem, where the TREE OF LIFE dwells. That’s why, of all ethnicities on Planet Earth today, there’s NO SINGLE ETHNIC GROUP that has as many internationally-known preachers of the gospel as the YORUBA nation! Search! How many English (from the nation of England) preachers that you know, who are popularly known across nations of this Earth? I’m not sure you know any! How many Germans (for that’s an ethnic group) that you know who are internationally known across this world as gospel preachers? How many Portuguese (we’re talking of ethnic groups now)? how many Jukuns? how many Hausas? How many from any ethnic group in South Africa? How many from Japan? How many Chinese? But look at the Yorubas – their preachers are the most internationally known (even when they’re preaching heresy) across the world! – Adeboye, Oyedepo, Tunde Bakare, Sunday Adelaja, Matthew Ashimolowo... the list of internationally-popular Yoruba preachers go on and on... there’s no other singular ethnic group like that! God, as it were, is saying, “You’re the one that caused this problem; you’re the one that will bear the brunt of recovering humanity from the Fall, through the preaching of the gospel!
I want to say from the word go, that I’m NOT writing this to please YOU. Neither am I writing it to please anybody, for that matter. I am writing it because God says, WRITE IT. Actually, he revealed these things to me in the year 2002 (15 years ago) and I have already, back then, preached it EXTENSIVELY and INTENSIVELY, and with deep understanding to the people, in the congregation that was under my charge (CHURCH OF THE SON, a product of HOLY GHOST CENTRE) in Ondo City.
Let it be also known that I am NOT preaching this because I am a Yoruba man. It’s just a matter of “coincidence” that I happen to be a Yoruba man, and God gave me this revelation about the Yoruba man; however, that “coincidence” could be “divine,” or have been divinely-arranged. I believe this. God wanted me to know something about the Yoruba man; he also wanted me to know something about Mankind in general. I happen to be a Yoruba man, and he revealed it to me. I hold this “revelation” with a sense of awesome responsibility, not knowing, as yet, the full extent of what its impact and/or implications would be, but knowing that God Who has “started” it will “finish” it in His good time.
There are many, I know, who would say, of what purpose is it to our salvation in Christ Jesus? I may not know or be able to tell you for now! It’s like asking, of what purpose is the book of Numbers to our salvation? God knows why that book is in the Bible. He also sure knows why this revelation he gave me 15 years ago is being brought to the fore at this time. Things are happening in the realm of the Spirit! “Shiftings” are taking place! The Lord is getting us ready for His Kingdom – here on this Earth (I know that jolts your “theology” of “heaven,” but we will come to that later.) The Lord surely says, if you know your Bible, that there will be a literal 1,000-year reign of Christ on this Earth. The Bible also says that there will be a New Earth as well as a New Heaven. The Bible even says that the “New Jerusalem” will come DOWN FROM HEAVEN and be planted on the New Earth. The Bible also continues, in saying that the throne of God will be upon that New Earth – in the New Jerusalem, and that His people (the redeemed) will see his face. And so on and so forth. These are FACTS in the Bible, but which our “theology” of an eternity in “heaven” has BLINDED our eyes to! Jesus even says, in Revelation 22:12, “Behold, I come quickly; and my REWARD is with me [when I come], to give every man according as his work shall be.” So, contrary to that “theology” that says that we’re going to heaven to “enjoy” the rewards that God has been “keeping” there for us, the TRUTH is that, they’re ONLY being kept there, for now, because that’s the ONLY place, right now, where thieves cannot steal them, neither moth (insects) corrupt them; but, when He comes, he will BRING THEM HERE! So, we’re going to RECEIVE THEM HERE! That’s what that scripture is saying!
But, be that as it may. We’re talking about Adam being a Yoruba man. But I had to tell you all of the afore-mentioned, so that, first, you will open your mind to “new” truth (not “new” in the sense of being anti-Biblical, but “new” because your former theological mind-set had been programmed, falsely, in another direction.) Also, I had to tell you all of that, because I need to show you, and in the context of the title of this message, that God is about something that is BIGGER and WIDER than “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved.” Jesus is the Way (that’s why we need to BELIEVE on him and be SAVED – the New Birth, the New Creation, based on the finished work of CHRIST) – but He’s NOT the destination. Oh! I will explain that! Yes, he’s the destination in the sense that we’re called into HIM! Yes! We’re called into Him! To become a part and parcel of Him! A part and parcel of the Son! We’re NOT called into religion, but into HIM! We’re NOT called into a denomination, but into HIM! That’s TRUE, and it’s BASIC, and it’s ETERNAL! So, don’t get me wrong! But, He Himself (into Whom we have been called) is going somewhere! He’s taking us somewhere – to the Father; and, into THE FATHER!

So, God is about His Kingdom! His Kingdom comprises many parts – the Church (bought by the Blood of Jesus, and being the New Creation in Him) is only ONE of the parts of the Kingdom! Get that right! But it’s the key part that sets every other thing in place! Even Abraham will be in the Kingdom, but he’s not a part of the Church! John the Baptist will be there – but he’s not a part of the Church! He (John) himself said that! – in John 4:27-29, he said, “A man can receive nothing, except it be given him from heaven. Ye yourselves bear me witness, that I said, I am not the Christ, but that I am sent before him. He that hath the BRIDE (the ultimate expression of the CHURCH) is the Bridegroom: but the friend (friend) of the Bridegroom, which standeth and heareth (the bridegroom), rejoiceth greatly because of the bridegroom’s voice: this my (John’s) joy therefore is fulfilled.” John will NOT be a part of the Bride, for he was NEVER a part of the CHURCH, but he will still be in the Kingdom – as the “FRIEND” of the Bridegroom!
Also, as we see (in context) in Matthew 24:14, the Kingdom (of God) is for NATIONS (ethnicities – that’s the translation of “NATION” in the Bible – from the word “ethnos”) to dwell in! God is interested in NATIONS (ethnicities!) That’s why the Book of Revelation is full of exultations (ecstacies!) about God, through Christ, saving us from every “nation” (ethnicity). “And they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the seals thereof: for thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy BLOOD out of every kindred (of humanity – Races), and tongue (languages), and people, and NATION (ethnos – ethnicity!)
God is interested in ethnicities; they’re the REAL nations! “Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. The sons of Japheth;.... And the sons of Ham;.... The children of Shem;... after their families (lineages), after their tongues (languages), in their lands (geographical territories), after their NATIONS (ethnic groups). These are the families of the sons of Noah, after their generations, in their NATIONS (ethnic groups): and by these were the NATIONS (ethnic groups) divided in the earth after the flood” (Genesis chapter 10.)

I’m not expecting that it will be exactly the same Yoruba that we’re speaking today! 6,000 years have passed since the events at the Garden of Eden, and 4,000 years since the Flood of Noah’s time and after which the events of the Tower of Babel came to be, and, definitely, the language has evolved! How do I know that it was the Yoruba language that was spoken back then? God told me, in the year 2002, that Adam (the first man) was a YORUBA man! No, God didn’t give him that “tag” (Yoruba), but what God showed me is that that man, that first man, Adam, was the genetic embodiment of what we later came to know as the “Yoruba” man – the word “Yoruba” evolved with time. In actual fact, God told me (you can ask Him if you doubt) that the word “Adam” (and I’m not kidding please! I’m NOT for frivolities here, neither am I for ethnic sentiments, but TRUTH as the Lord said it to me) actually comes from an “exclamation!” that God made, when he made the first man from the dust of the ground (even, exegetically, the word “Adam” literally means “red dust” – what we would call “clay;”) so when God made the first man from CLAY (“amò” in Yoruba language) and gave LIFE to that CLAY, and CLAY, according to the book of Genesis, became a LIVING SOUL – able to think, will, and feel; and with the previously “clay” body now sinews and muscles and nerves, God exclaimed, in self-fulfilled excitement, “A dá amò” (“We create clay”, or “We have GIVEN LIFE to clay” – we have made “clay” to become “flesh” and a living soul!) It was a great moment of EXCITEMENT for God (he said to me!) He said, shoutingly, “A dá amò” (we’ve made CLAY to come ALIVE!) That’s the root of “Adam” (you can contest it, I don’t care; I’m only telling you what God told me in the year 2002).
Thus, the first man on planet Earth is what we now know as the YORUBA MAN, and the first language on Earth, spoken in the Garden of Eden, was the Yoruba language! This was the language that generations of humanity spoke until the time of the confounding of languages at the Tower of Babel when the Yoruba language became restricted, specifically, to what we now know as the “Yoruba” man. That is, today’s Yoruba man or Yoruba ethnic group, is the continuation of the original Yoruba man in the Garden of Eden – Adam.
But Noah had three sons – Shem, Ham and Japheth. Of the three of them, and especially after the Flood and the debacle at the Tower of Babel, it was Ham that retained his “amò” (red dust) skin (what we now call the Black race – you know nobody is really BLACK in that sense), while, genetically (and by phenotype) the generations of Shem and Japheth started transforming into the other Races (caucasian, Arab) of the earth. Of course there were all kinds of “differentiations” going on over decades and centuries, but that’s not the subject here.
The subject, here, is that the first man, Adam, was not only a BLACK man (or, better still, a “red-dust” colour man), but indeed a YORUBA man whose name “Adam” actually means “A dá amò” (we create “red dust;” we give LIFE to “red dust.”) That’s the TRUTH about the Human Race for you. Beyond-the-Bible (but revealed by God) and NOT contradicting the Bible. You have to understand that not everything could have been written in the Bible; but when God reveals it (like he did to me in the year 2002) and we know that it’s NOT contradicting anything in the Bible, we BELIEVE HIM! I BELIEVE GOD! Adam was a Yoruba man, a BLACK MAN.
Like I said earlier on, of the three sons of Noah, Ham was the one whose lineage retained their “blackness” (dark skin) while the lineages of Shem (progenitor of the Arabs and Israelites) and Japheth (progenitor of the caucasians) metamorphosed into the other races and their ethnic groups.
Now in the lineage of Ham (the “black” son of Noah, the continuation of the original stock from Adam) we have Ham giving birth to Cush and others. (Remember, when Miriam complained against Moses for marrying a Cushite woman? Some translations say “Ethiopian” woman – so you can see that Cush was a BLACK MAN, an AFRICAN – Africa is the geographical territory designated for Blacks, although there are overlaps – through forces beyond the scope of this write-up – whereby Arabs (today’s Egyptians, etc.) and caucasians (white South Africans) came into the continent. That’s outside the scope of this write-up.)
The fact, of Africa being the “designated territory” for Blacks (the lineage of Ham, the Black son of Noah) is further clarified in Psalm 105, verse 23, where the Psalmist, in discussing about how Jacob (which became Israel) came into the African territory – by coming into what we now know as Egypt,) said, “Israel also came into EGYPT; and Jacob sojourned in the land of HAM.” Present-day Egypt (even though those occupying there now are actually Arabs), and, by extension, the rest of the African continent, is the LAND OF HAM – the land of the Black son of Noah.
Like I said, Ham gave birth to Cush (by whose name the Ethiopians were identified.) And Cush gave birth to Nimrod (and others.) Nimrod is a progenitor of the Yoruba race. He’s the one we (in Yorubaland) call LAMURUDU. He was a Yoruba man.
Nimrod (Lamurudu, a Yoruba man) was the LEADER of this world as at the time of the Tower of Babel. “And Cush begat Nimrod: he began to be a mighty one in the earth. He was a mighty hunter before the LORD: wherefore it is said, Even as Nimrod the mighty hunter before the LORD. And the BEGINNING OF HIS KINGDOM WAS BABEL,..., in the land of Shinar.” Yes, the YORUBA MAN was the leader at Babel. That’s why the Yorubas are HIGHLY INTELLECTUAL – imagine somebody saying (back then) that a tower should be built that will reach unto heaven! And God had to STOP them because he knew they could do it! In fact, for your information, the University of Ife (and this is DOCUMENTED FACT), now known as the Obafemi Awolowo University, was ESTABLISHED by the government of Western Nigeria (when Western Nigeria was like a country on its own within the federation of Nigeria), for the PURPOSE of exploring the TREE OF THE KNOWLEDGE OF GOOD AND EVIL, as epitomised in the Garden of Eden! That’s the truth. The Yoruba man, back then (in Adam, the first Yoruba man) was the one that ATE the knowledge of good and evil, contrary to God’s instruction! That’s why the Yoruba man is so DIABOLICAL – with incantations and all, wanting to be “as god,” which was the LIE that the Serpent sold to Eve. The Yoruba man (as Adam) was the One that plunged us into all of this mess that came to be known as the Fall, and from which Christ came to redeem us! And, just as Paul had caused so much havoc to the Church, and God decided that it was that same Paul that would bring the greatest glory to the Kingdom of God in his generation, so also God has specially laid hold on the Yoruba man (the original man that FELL in the Garden of Eden) in order, through him, and through the preaching of Jesus Christ from his mouth, to bring the whole world back to the Garden of Eden, even the New Jerusalem, where the TREE OF LIFE dwells. That’s why, of all ethnicities on Planet Earth today, there’s NO SINGLE ETHNIC GROUP that has as many internationally-known preachers of the gospel as the YORUBA nation! Search! How many English (from the nation of England) preachers that you know, who are popularly known across nations of this Earth? I’m not sure you know any! How many Germans (for that’s an ethnic group) that you know who are internationally known across this world as gospel preachers? How many Portuguese (we’re talking of ethnic groups now)? how many Jukuns? how many Hausas? How many from any ethnic group in South Africa? How many from Japan? How many Chinese? But look at the Yorubas – their preachers are the most internationally known (even when they’re preaching heresy) across the world! – Adeboye, Oyedepo, Tunde Bakare, Sunday Adelaja, Matthew Ashimolowo... the list of internationally-popular Yoruba preachers go on and on... there’s no other singular ethnic group like that! God, as it were, is saying, “You’re the one that caused this problem; you’re the one that will bear the brunt of recovering humanity from the Fall, through the preaching of the gospel!
