The Founder Origins

Our origin story begins in Atlanta, Georgia, at the Church of Acts 4:12, founded by Antaeus Phelps, the son of Pastor Curtis Phelps Jr. of Breakthrough Christian Church of Atlanta. Antaeus, along with his brothers Marvin, Jay, Qua, Mario, and Andreus, challenged conventional notions of church and Christianity. Their critical questions severed ties with Western Christian ideologies, leading each member on unique paths to truth.

​

Antaeus continued his service at Breakthrough Christian Church of Atlanta, initially as a deacon and later as a minister under his father. Guided by his father and his Godfathers, Antaeus delved into esoteric wisdom. His exploration was further deepened by his Godfather, Reverend Michael Dyers, who introduced him to the Book of Chanok (Enoch). This transformative experience reshaped his understanding of biblical scripture and ignited a profound passion for biblical history and ministry.

A Turning Point

This transformation was not immediate. During a period of depression and suicidal thoughts, Antaeus made a desperate plea to the Divine: “If you are real, show up because this is it for me.” Following this plea, he experienced a spiritual awakening. A profound change took place within him, awakening a deep thirst for understanding and truth.

The Birth of New Paths

From this awakening, the Church of Acts was born, initiating thought-provoking Bible studies on Thursday nights that challenged the status quo. However, this journey would soon lead to complex issues. The name of Jesus, once seen as all-powerful, was replaced with Yeshua following the introduction of the Tree of Life Bible by Pastor Jacques Ryan Ervin. During this period, the teachings of Leonard Ravenhill, John Wesley, Charles Spurgeon, John Knox, John Calvin, Arthur W. Pink, David Wilkerson, and other prominent Biblical preachers profoundly impacted my thoughts, sparking a conflict between Calvinism and Arminianism.This struggle presented a significant challenge: salvation for an imperfect soul seeking Jesus or Yeshua? This conflict ignited a fervor for righteous living within me but also created a division between myself and my father due to our differing views on Jesus.Despite these challenges, I felt a strong calling to ministry. Despite these challenges, Antaeus felt a calling to continue in ministry. His father, emphasizing the gravity of this calling, remarked, “There is no getting out of this. This is it. This blood in and blood out.” This signified that once called by God, one is committed for life. My father guided me through the University of Biblical Knowledge, instructing me to study sermon preparation using William Evans’s book, How to Prepare Sermons. In my own time, I delved into The Preacher's Outline & Sermon Bible (KJV), which I affectionately referred to as the "blue books." These resources were instrumental in my development.My first sermon led to many others, including "Instruction in Times Like These," "Asleep at the Wheel," and "A Charge to Keep in the Den of Thieves." Influenced deeply by Leonard Ravenhill and David Wilkerson, my heart for souls and people was profoundly impacted.

​

Revelations and New Directions

Antaeus's journey continued with personal and theological revelations. His grandmother, GrandMama Vera, had always been a source of inspiration, often reminding him of his inherent preaching ability. Independent studies and conversations with Mario and Reverend Dyers led him to explore profound truths, such as the Name of the Messiah (Ha’ Mashiach), the Name of God, the true biblical text, and the Torah.

His spiritual path led him to critically evaluate teachings within his family and church. A pivotal moment occurred during a Bible study when Antaeus raised a controversial point about the difference between cussing and cursing. His perspective on the matter, which distinguished between strong language used in love versus malicious words, led to significant debate and criticism, further isolating him from his church and family.

 

A New Chapter

During this tumultuous period, Antaeus experienced profound personal losses, including the dissolution of his marriage and separation from his religious community. He witnessed his twin flame build altars in remembrance of her father, while he struggled with his understanding of these practices. This period left him feeling disconnected, with no church, no Jesus, and no true place to call home.

The Hebrew Faith and Beyond

During this time, I met one of our board members name Jefferson Stubbs and a friend Lady M. We would build a bond which lead to awakening though the Hebrew Faith.  

 

Pastor Stephen Darby, Pastor Tony Smith and Pastor Charles Dowell  had major influence in Antaeus embracing the way of Yah.

 

Jefferson would go on to say to me “ During the rough times, when was the last time you talk with God on dark and numbing night separate from the love I knew as my wife. Later on the month I encounter God in another way known in Hebrew faith  as Yahuah or Yah. The Church of Acts was still going on but this was over Wines and Spades games with deep intellectual conversations about the watchers, and where was the devil during Genisis 6, and the name of Jesus. The bleed into the rebirth of my spirit as Natiosn of Tribes of Yahuah Assembly was birthed. I became the Senior Pastor of Nations Tribes of. Yahuah, and Nations Tribes of Africa through Pastor Dominic. This  lead many to come to place of true critical thinking . The Feast days and Sabbath of Yah was our lives.  Love was our place of rest. The True Biblical Calendar was kept. Our Biblical Text was replaced with The Cepher as deeper understanding and revelations was poured out onto the assembly . The Ruach Ha Kodesh challenged us. 

But still, something was missing from our lives, even though the knowledge was present. This led me, as the lead pastor, to grapple with monumental questions. If you love Yahusha, should you guard and keep His commandments? My spirit was divided because I was indoctrinated with the belief that I was a sinner. This led me to another crucial question: Is this the original text?

As I was preparing to preach my last message, titled “The Wall,” a deep conversation with the founders ensued. We engaged in a Jude 3 conversation about Inclusion versus Exclusion. A young pastor named Howard John Wesley challenged John 14:6, where Yahusha says, "I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life: no one comes to the Father except through Me."

Howard John Wesley challenged the church establishment by questioning whether this really was what it meant to the guest panel. Given my own struggles with the Biblical text, the congregation was perplexed. They asked, "What is he talking about, Pastor? I thought we had the original text."

This led to what some might call the great apostasy but was, in reality, the great awakening within our Hebrew Assembly. We explored understanding Paleo Hebrew and embracing Kemet. We sought to understand the Torah, bridging it with knowledge of the 42 Negative Confessions of Maat. We revered the Ancestors and sought their guidance, realizing that the Biblical narrative was a plagiarism of older manuscripts predating the Bible, Quran, Torah, Talmud, and Mishnah by thousands of years. We came to understand that all is one and one is all. Knowledge is power, and power is knowledge. This journey inspired our podcast, From Milk to Meat.

Embracing Vodun

Despite the knowledge gained, something still felt missing. Antaeus's journey led him to Vodun through High Priestess Oya’ Dina, where he underwent a significant spiritual cleansing.Through Lady M, I met a friend named Eric Sinclair, who is also a board member from California. He introduced me to a holy spirit named Bawon Samedi. Through our conversations, Bawon Samedi, the Loa of Life and Death, came to cover, protect, and guide me as a Babalawo. This was confirmed through numerous readers and my own Babalawo. Sacred ceremonies were held, and through Bawon Samedi, I became his vessel for light, challenging living individuals and teaching truths from scriptures of all walks of life. Thereforth Antaeus died spiritual and someways physical to old man. He went from death to Life and   

 

 I am a Babalawo of the Ghede Family, a pastor, a prophet of old, and reborn as Thirteen Ra Neteru, meaning the (13th Sun God). I call upon the Ancestors and the collective archetypes of high beings to help, guide, serve, and protect the melanated children, the suns of God, the gods of planet Ki. We are all connected in some way, and by embodying the Ancestors through our actions, we honor this connection. 

Current Focus

Thirteen Ra Neteru continues his mission of spiritual enlightenment and connection through The School of Thought of Atlanta Church and various platforms dedicated to spiritual, mental, and physical growth. His work emphasizes integrating ancestral wisdom, esoteric and exoteric understanding, ancient scriptures, and exploring the universal law of oneness.
