Historical Context of the Tribe of Levi
The Tribe of Levi, known today as the Haitians, played a significant role historically and biblically.
Once held a sacred role, tasked with teaching God's laws (Malachi 2:4-7, Ezekiel 44:23).
Notable Levites: Phineas, John the Baptist, Ezra, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, Samuel.
Levi cities were established as special zones for the Levites as they had no land inheritance (Numbers 35:2-7, Joshua 13:33).
Downfall of the Tribe
Tribes fell into idolatry and sin, leading to curses (Malachi 2:1-3).
The curse was symbolically illustrated by the current conditions in Haiti, including poverty and reliance on voodoo (Malachi 2:3).
Biblical Prophecies
Genesis 49:5-7 speaks on Simeon and Levi's cruelty, which is interpreted as voodoo and witchcraft in Haiti and DR.
They are described as being divided geographically and culturally (language and social differences between Haiti and DR).
Historical Parallels
Historical events, such as the Parsley Massacre and other conflicts, parallel biblical stories like those in Judges 12.
Economic Challenges
Economic oppression and exploitation by foreign powers (Deuteronomy 28:33, 43, 48).

Haitian Revolution
