St. Patrickโs Day is widely recognized as a celebration of Irish heritage, filled with parades, drinking, and festivities. However, beneath the surface lies a hidden history deeply connected to the chattel slavery of the so-called Black, Hispanic, and Native American peopleโthe true Israelites according to the Bible. While mainstream narratives focus on the Irish experience of indentured servitude, the Bible reveals that the suffering of our people under the transatlantic slave trade was a direct fulfillment of prophecy.
This article will expose the truth about St. Patrickโs Day, its connection to the enslavement of the Israelites, and how it aligns with biblical prophecy.
Many attempt to equate the plight of the Irish in colonial America with that of the so-called Black man under chattel slavery. However, history and the Bible make a clear distinction:
The Bible makes it clear: our forefathers were the ones truly cursed with generational slavery, not the Irish.
Though many Irish were once oppressed under British rule, they later became active participants in the enslavement of Godโs chosen people:
This was prophesied in Psalms 83:1-4, which speaks of the nations conspiring to cut Israel off from their identity:
โThey have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.โ
The Irish, like the other nations, played a role in keeping the Israelites in bondage and ensuring that we would forget our true heritage.
One of the main traditions of St. Patrickโs Day is excessive drinking, which aligns perfectly with the wickedness the Bible warns against.
St. Patrickโs Day is nothing more than a pagan festival filled with sin, excess, and the worship of false gods. The Most High forbids us from taking part in these customs.
One of the most famous legends about St. Patrick is that he “drove the snakes out of Ireland.” However, Ireland never had a native snake population. Scholars suggest this story is a metaphor for the eradication of the Druids, but there is a deeper spiritual meaning:
St. Patrickโs so-called “cleansing” of Ireland foreshadowed how white supremacy would later use religion to justify the enslavement of the true Israelites.
One of the strongest links between St. Patrickโs Day and our people is found in Montserrat, a Caribbean island where both Irish settlers and enslaved Israelites lived. On March 17, 1768, while Irish plantation owners were celebrating St. Patrickโs Day, enslaved Israelites plotted a rebellion. However, their plans were betrayed, and the uprising was crushed.
Today, Montserrat still celebrates St. Patrickโs Day, but for the Israelites, it is not a day of joyโit is a reminder of their oppression and resistance. This aligns with Ecclesiastes 7:7:
โSurely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart.โ
The truth is, St. Patrickโs Day is more connected to the suffering of the Israelites than to Irish freedom.
St. Patrickโs Day is not an innocent celebration of Irish heritage. It is a day filled with drunkenness, pagan traditions, and a hidden history of enslaving the Most Highโs chosen people.
The Bible commands the Israelites to separate from the ways of the heathen:
As the true Israelites, we must reject St. Patrickโs Day and all the pagan customs of our oppressors. It is time to return to the laws, statutes, and commandments of the Most High and reclaim our heritage as the chosen people of Israel.
โCome out of her, my peopleโ (Revelation 18:4).
