The TABERNACLE for the CONGREGATION HOUSE of HABIRÛ

About the Book

“The Tabernacle for the Congregation House of Habirû” is a supplement to, and not a replacement for, the Tanakh {Hebrew} Bible, and The Old Testament of the King James Bible. It is the story of a modern day people whose plight has been long and arduous and filled with much hardship, and they know little concerning their spiritual or cultural history, or who they truly are. The Tabernacle is the culmination of research depicting the series of apocalyptic-like events from Moses to the conquest of Egypt by the Romans, which changed their lives. The story correlates the biblical events that depict their identity and fate. Those same and subsequent events that swept many of them into the diaspora out of Egypt and Israel, and their escape west forming Hebrew nations across Africa that were later displaced by the Mohammedans. Forced to convert their faith to Islam, then to Christianity or death, they became disparate and seriously vulnerable. They were incarcerated, disoriented, and alienated to a new involuntary diaspora into the new Egypt, the Americas. The Tabernacle delivers the story as spiritual insight into the personal emptiness of not believing, or perhaps believing and belonging, but to a religious group without a sincere feeling of spiritual fulfillment. It offers a basis for faith, and specific fundamentals of faith for a lost people, an insight into their past way of life. In a non-traditional manner, it invites the reader to think and visualize the experience. The book and its story are an educational tool intended to promote enlightenment while facilitating the accommodation, assimilation, and spiritual unity among all - regardless of age, nationality, ethnicity, or current religious affiliation - who are fulfilled and intrigued by its content. Finally, the Habiri are home, and they congregate here! A must read for those seeking knowledge, and spiritual comfort….
