Most people tiptoe around slavery—regardless of whether or not scripture is in the spotlight. But in this sobering and eye-opening teaching from God Honest Truth, we peel back the layers of time to examine the reality of slavery—not as it appears in Scripture and not as it’s portrayed in popular historical re-imaginings, but for what slavery actually is as it played out across the globe in history.
Join us as we embark on a journey to understand the history of slavery across the globe and across human history. We will learn about how societies have grappled with, and in many cases, continue to grapple with. We will discover various examples of enslaved populations throughout history and the systems that employed them. We will expose the raw, unfiltered timeline of slavery outside the Bible: from the Greco-Roman world and Islamic trans-Saharan caravans, to the sugar plantations of Brazil, the Arab dhow raids on East Africa, and the largely forgotten White slave markets of the Barbary Coast. No excuses, no revisionist rubbish—just the historical facts.
This study does not explore slavery as illustrated in the Torah or practiced among the people of Yisra’ĕl, but rather focuses on how manmade systems of slavery changed and spread apart from Yahweh’s instruction through history and across cultures. In an upcoming video we will delve solely into slavery as it truly is from scripture.
So prepare for truth that cuts through centuries of myth and whitewashing. Come with an open mind and a ready heart, as we uncover the God Honest Truth of slavery in history.

God Honest Truth is a Messianic Ministry based in Western North Carolina. Our goal is to teach the truths of Yahweh’s word to anyone seeking to further their education and walk in faith. We believe in the inerrancy of scripture and that scripture alone, not any church decree or any word of man, can define what is and is not salvation. We will always strive to do Biblical things in Biblical ways instead of allowing the traditions of men to get in the way of scripture.
