Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a self-published work on theology and racial identity from the perspective of a Black Ethiopian-American and explores the significance of the Black Spot in the Sun, which was observed and reported by the US Naval Observatory during World War 1. The author analyzes the astronomical and religious significance of the Black Spot in the Sun as a universal sign of God's distress with the nations of the world. The author goes on to discuss themes of historical oppression, the denial of Blackness, and the broader impact on the identity and historical memory of the African diaspora and communities of African descent. The book interprets this astronomical phenomenon as a divine indictment targeting 'wicked nations', particularly those nations that have oppressed and denied the indigenous rights of globally dispersed and historically oppressed African people. The author examines these themes through the lens of their deep-held belief, and their writing style blends traditional Christian theology, the Book of Enoch, with Afro-Centrist readings of Biblical texts, and historical events offering a perspective not commonly found outside of Afro-Centrist literature. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
