Beyoncé’s Black Is King encrypts message of the final Exodus of God’s children. It could be sooner than you thought.
Black is King is a 2020 American visual album and film directed, written, and executive produced by Beyoncé Knowles-Carter. The film is a visual complement to Beyoncé’s 2019 album The Lion King: The Gift, a musical rendition of Disney’s The Lion King.
In a world where noble Black representation in entertainment can be sparse, Black is King is a gift to be cherished.
This visual from Beyoncé depicts the lessons of The Lion King for today’s kings and queens in search of their lost nobility. Black is King honors the voyage of oppressed and underrepresented families everywhere through a tale of a lost son’s journey through betrayal, punishment, love, and self-identity.
Although Beyoncé errs using the term ‘black’ instead of Yisra’El, the visual depicts us in our true glory that as a whole we have lost. The film sends an overt message of Ivriy excellence, culture, and beauty, but we may have missed something spiritually fulfilling in the details.
Here’s my Top 15 Black is King encrypted messages that we should pay more attention to:
Not just words in a Bible verse, you are the living word.
BIGGER by Beyoncé
Wait a minute. What? I’m the living word? Where’s the proof? The proof is in the pudding—and by pudding, we mean Scripture.
Check out Genesis 15:13-14. ‘And he said unto Avram, Know of a surety that your seed shall be a stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall serve them; and they shall afflict them four hundred years.’ When did the first slaves arrive in America again?
It’s been a long time, but remember who you are.
FIND YOUR WAY BACK by Beyoncé
If you forgot who and whose you are, it’s okay. We all did, but it’s time to remember.
‘And I will hide my face from them, and I will deliver them into the hand of the other nations for captivity, and for a prey, and for devouring, and I will remove them from the midst of the land, and I will scatter them amongst the other nations. 15 And they will forget all my Torah, and all my commandments and all my judgments, and will go astray as to New Moons, and Shabbathoth, and feasts, and jubilees, and ordinances. 16 And after this they will turn to me from amongst the other nations with all their heart and with all their soul and with all their strength, and I will gather them from amongst all the other nations, and they will seek me, so that I shall be found of them, when they seek me with all their heart and with all their soul.’
Jubilees 1:14-16
No white angels, just albinos

Our brothers and sisters are walking around with their crowns in their back pockets because of an environment of oppression.
Black is King by Beyoncé
I’m in the Nile, deep in denial
NILE by Beyoncé, Kendrick Lamar
Are you denial? Deep in denial? As in the same river Moses was found in? Chile.
I feel a change goin’ on Royalty in my blood, run the Kingdom
MOOD 4 EVA by Beyoncé
I am confused? You don’t even know who you are?
—Oh? And I suppose you do?
Follow me, I will show you
follow me by Donald Glover and John Kani
Who are you?
Long live the king, you a king, you know it King already, already, you know it Shine already, it’s time already The line already, it’s time already
ALREADY by Beyoncé, Major Lazer, Shatta Wale
It’s no coincidence that King of Yisra’El also roars from the tribe of Yahuda. The real Lion King.
‘For the children of Yisra’El shall abide many days without a king, and without a prince, and without a sacrifice, and without an image, and without an ephod, and without Teraphiym: 5 Afterward shall the children of Yisra’El return, and seek YAHUAH ELOHAYHEM, and David their King; and shall fear El-YAHUAH and his goodness in the latter days.’ Hosea 3:4-5
Try to stop it, me say no no no
ALREADY by Beyoncé, Major Lazer, Shatta Wale
They couldn’t stop it if they wanted to. It’s written.
Lost languages spill out of our mouths.
Beyoncé
We have always been wonderful. I see us reflected in the world’s most heavenly things.
Beyoncé
She can say that again.
‘And Elohim said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creeps upon the earth. 27 So Elohim created man in his own image, in the image of Elohim created he him; male and female created he them.’ Genesis 1:26-27
See how the sun and the moon bow for you? But you won’t open your eyes.
KEYS TO THE KINGDOM by Mr Eazi, Tiwa Savage
You are the key to The Kingdom.
KEYS TO THE KINGDOM by Mr Eazi, Tiwa Savage
They’ll never take your power.
MY POWER by Nija, Beyoncé, Busiswa, Yemi Alade, Moonchild Sanelly, Tierra Whack, DJ Lag
Arise and thresh, O daughter of Zion: for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs brass: and you shall beat in pieces many people: and I will consecrate their gain unto YAHUAH, and their substance unto the ADONAI of the whole earth.’ Micah 4:13
It makes a lot of sense why Nala and the rest of the pride were on the frontline to save the Kingdom. Daughters of Zion have a bold role to play in the fulfillment of prophecy.
Your destiny is comin’ close Stand up and fight So go into that far off land And be one with the great, I Am
SPIRIT by Beyoncé
The Exodus could be sooner than we thought. Are you ready?
‘When all these blessings and curses I have set before you come on you and you take them to heart wherever the disperses you among the nations, 2 and when you and your children return to the YAHUAH ELOHAYKA and obey him with all your heart and with all your soul according to everything I command you today, 3 then YAHUAH ELOHAYKA will restore your fortunes[a] and have compassion on you and gather you again from all the nations where he scattered you. 4 Even if you have been banished to the most distant land under the heavens, from there YAHUAH ELOHAYKA will gather you and bring you back. 5 He will bring you to the land that belonged to your ancestors, and you will take possession of it. He will make you more prosperous and numerous than your ancestors. 6 YAHUAH ELOHAYKA will circumcise your hearts and the hearts of your descendants, so that you may love him with all your heart and with all your soul, and live.’ Deuteronomy 30:1-5
I guess it’s okay to admit we may have missed a lot of covert messages in Black is King. Nevertheless, it is important to remember these things.
First, YAH is King–King of Kings to be exact.
Second, we are not black. We are Ivriy. We are Yisra’El. Our bondage has ended. It’s time to be crowned with our true nobility.
Shalom, Children of the Light.
