Deuteronomy 28 Misuse — Black Hebrew Israelites Debunked

BHI uses the curses of Deuteronomy 28 as racial proof-texts — ignoring the actual context.

Deuteronomy 28:68 ('The LORD will send you back to Egypt in ships') is cited as proving the Transatlantic slave trade. However, this prophecy was fulfilled in 70 CE when Titus sent Jewish captives to Egypt in ships (Josephus, Wars 6.9.2). The curses of Deuteronomy 28 are covenant curses for disobedience — they apply to all Israel, not exclusively to one racial group. The blessings and curses are conditional on obedience (Deuteronomy 28:1-2, 15), not on skin color.

Verdict: Deuteronomy 28 was fulfilled historically — it's not a racial identifier.
