Nehemiyah's Prayer for Blacks In Captivity

In the days of Nehemiah and Ezra, a lot of Israelites were marrying non-Israelites. Nehemiah 4:7-8 says, "...when Sanballat, and Tobiah, and the Arabians, and the Ammonites, and the Ashdodites, heard that the walls of Jerusalem were made up, and that the breaches began to be stopped, then they were very wroth, and conspired all of them together to come and to fight against Jerusalem, and to hinder it." Then, Nehemiah 13:23 says, "And in those days I saw the Israelites who had married women of Ashdod, of Ammon, and of Moab" so as we can see, the Israelites were marrying into the families of the very nations that hated them; this is the same thing we do even unto this very day. Nehemiah 13:28 informs us that even Elisub the High Priest of Israel was son-in-law to Sanballat, one of the main adversaries of Israel mentioned numerous times in the book of Nehemiah; most translations are worded as though it was a grandson of Elisub the High Priest who was Sanballat's son-in-law, but the Septuagint says it was Elisub himself. Nehemiah 13:24-25 says, "their children spoke half in the language of Ashdod, and did not know how to speak in the Israelite language. And I strove with them and cursed them; and I smote some of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by YAH, saying, You shall not give your daughters to their sons, and you shall not take of their daughters to your sons." The Law that Nehemiah made them swear by is the Law of Deuteronomy 7:3 which says, "...you shall make no covenant with them (the gentiles), nor shew mercy unto them: neither shall you make marriages with them; your daughter you shall not give unto his son, nor his daughter shall you take unto your son." Some rebellious Israelites who want to break the Law and marry non-Israelites say that Deuteronomy 7:2-3 only applied to the gentile nations mentioned in Deuteronomy 7:1 (namely, the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites), but that is NOT true. Ashdodites, Ammonites and Moabities were not mentioned in Deuteronomy 7:1, but Nehemiah knew it was still transgression of the Law for Israelites to marry them. Ezra, who was a "skilled scribe in the Law of Moses" (Ezra 7:6) rebuked the Israelites for marrying Egyptians as well; Egyptians were not mentioned in Deuteronomy 7:1, but Ezra like Nehemiah knew that marrying them was still transgression of the Law. Israelites are NOT supposed to marry non-Israelites. The men of Israel were forced to put away their strange (non-Israelite) wives and the children that were born of them so that the wrath of YAH could be turned away from Israel (Ezra 9 and 10). "Should we (Israel) again break Your commandments, and join in affinity with the people of these abominations? Would not You (YAH) be angry with us till You had consumed us, so that there should be no remnant nor escaping?" (Ezra 9:14) But thanks to the goodness of YAH, a remnant of Israel will survive and escape, even after we've repeated the same folly our ancestors did, and to an even greater extent than they did. YAH will once again redeem and rebuild Israel so that our Kingdom will be established on earth but, this time, it will never be destroyed or defiled again.
