Rev. Carter considered himself a Christian, but he was angry about the past. He saw himself as a revolutionist fighting for justice and equality for his ethnicity until he encountered some ancient biblical prophecies that shook his understanding of how to bring healing between blacks and whites. These ancient Biblical prophecies answer your questions: Why is there a disparity between blacks and whites? Was slavery in America prophesied about in the Bible? How can blacks and whites find healing and closure? What about the origins of prejudice in America? Can blacks and whites live in harmony?

5.0 out of 5 stars A new standard for a new millenium, July 10, 2000

This review is from: No Apology Necessary: How hidden prophecies in the Old Testament foretold the tragedy of slavery and give the answers to racial tension in America (Paperback)

I am a spirit filled pastor who is also a black american in Oklahoma City Oklahoma. I was also raised in the midst of racial tension, although it probably was a bit more subtle than that of the authors'. My parents insisted that God had created us equal and treated all races the same, according to our christian faith. I've never been raised to hate other races but I have certainly felt the hatred and been the object of attack in many different situations. This book, coming from the authors life and experiences, summed up by the Word of God, reveals what has been going on in the earth since Noah. A dark skinned people who knew God spread out in different directions and covered the earth. Mixed marriages influenced their faith and many turned away from God. The american black man's ancestors knew God and worshipped him and were the source of knowledge and industry to the world. But they turned from serving God to the worship of idols. The book states "Idoltry = (equals) Slavery. Every time any nation left God to worship idols that nation found it self enslaved. Furthermore, the author proves scripturally that God sought to prevent this from happening by sending the prophets to prophesy against Egypt and Ethiopia (ancestors to the american black) urging them to repent. The result of their disobedience was, brother against brother, being enslaved by their brothers, being sold to serve our European brother (I believe was stated to be Japheth) and sent naked and in chains on ships to another country of which they had never been. The first book placed in our ancestors hand on american soil was, the Word of God, which brings the authors' revelation full circle. God did not want the black man to go into slavery but rather to prevent him from suffering by provoking him to repent. Idolatry is still the reason today for the oppression of any nation of people, not man. This is a spiritual principle! The author further explains that the white man's "irritation" with the black man was also prophesied as a result of our lack of repentance. But through Jesus Christ, every curse is broken and we are returned to God free from oppression in our hearts and minds and full of forgiveness toward all that have offended us!!!!!!! What a wonderful book!!!! I Challenge you to read and digest this book. I believe that it's content is a new standard for a new millenium for the believer. We should not hold the truth in unrighteousness. Neither can we continue say "we love God" and hated our brothers. This is a truth for all races and nations to read!!! The truth shall make us free!!!!!

I could hardly put this book down once I started to read it. The facts that Rev. Carter provides about Black history are substantiated through the Bible. I think that any person that reads this book will understand why Black people have gone through what they have. Black people can be proud of their heritage. This book is for people of all ages.
