Bible/Torah; Read It Again for the First Time

Bible/Torah, read it again for the first time by Hugh L. Johnson is a bold reinterpretation of the biblical canon. Drawing on decades of research, firsthand experience in Ethiopia, and deep linguistic analysis, Johnson presents a reordered view of scripture that challenges mainstream Judeo-Christian teachings. This book is not a rewrite-it is a realignment of hidden biblical truths, revealed through astronomical, genealogical, chronological, geographical, and linguistic frameworks.

Johnson exposes key deceptions in traditional teachings-such as the mischaracterization of Cain, the myth of a universal flood, and the erasure of Black identity in ancient scripture. He challenges accepted genealogies and suggests that many revered figures were distorted to serve institutional narratives.

The foundation of the book lies in Johnson's discovery that Ethiopian street language closely mirrors so-called Hebrew found in sacred texts. This reframes the ethnic identity of the original Israelites as Black, wooly-haired people rooted in African civilization (Amos 9:7).

What This Book Does
Johnson argues biblical information has been scattered, mistranslated, and inverted-making evil seem good and good evil (Isaiah 5:20). He reconstructs events to reveal:

• The true origins of humanity

• Pre-Adamic civilizations and cosmic wars

• The suppressed racial identity of the Israelites

• Religion's role in spiritual disempowerment

Major Themes

• Black Identity in Scripture: Israelites were Black; their legacy was replaced by European imagery.

• Cain vs. Seth: Cain is depicted as the Lord's son; Seth as Adam's rightful heir.

• Jesus vs. The Church: Yeshua preached inner truth-not institutional religion or sacrifice.

• Cosmic History: Revelation precedes Genesis, describing solar and planetary destruction.

• Women & Lineage: Reframes figures like Sarah, Hagar, and Dinah-highlighting systemic sexual violence and suppression.

• Clergy Critique: Challenges Rabbis, Priests, and Ministers for hiding truth and manipulating faith.

Tools for the Reader

• A lexicon redefining mistranslated Hebrew terms

• Genealogical charts, planetary timelines, and biblical cross-references

• Soliloquies from Cain, Nimrod, Lucifer, and others

• A final summation encouraging awakening and liberation

Why It Matters
This is a call for spiritual and racial remembrance. Johnson argues that salvation is not in belief, but in awakening to the truth within-the Narrow Gate (Matt. 7:13-14). The end of the world, he says, is not destruction, but the death of deception and the rebirth of consciousness.

Bible/Torah, read it again for the first time is a fearless exposé and a spiritual reckoning. For Black readers and truth-seekers everywhere, it offers a path to self-knowledge, historical reclamation, and divine clarity.
