Christ among His Apostles, Catacomb of Domitilla, early fourth century. |
Jesus Christ said:
John7:38: He that believeth on me as the SCRIPTURE HATH SAID, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.
So we know that if the scriptures say it you must believe it. Let's see what bible says about Jesus Christ.
Here's the description of Christ
Revelations 1:13-15:
13 And in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks one like unto the SON OF MAN(Jesus Christ), clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle(Gold Belt or waste band)
14 His head and his hairs(beard)were white like wool, as white as snow(woolly white hair); and his EYES were as a flame of fire(red);
15 And his FEET like unto fine brass(derivative of brown), as if they BURNED in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters(full of bass).
Here's the prophecy of Christ
Daniel 10:5-6:
5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a CERTAIN MAN(Jesus Christ) clothed in linen, whose loins(paps) where girded with fine gold of Uphaz(Gold belt or waste band):
6 His body was like the beryl(Green linen), and his face as the appearance of lighting(shiny or glossy), and his EYES as lamps of fire(red), and his ARMS AND HIS FEET like in COLOUR(English spelling)to polished brass(glossy derivative of brown), and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude(full of bass).
***SIDE NOTE:
THE NIV BIBLE SAYS BRONZE. BRASS & BRONZE ARE BOTH ALLOY'S OF COPPER. THE DISCOVERY OF BRONZE DATES TO ABOUT 3500 BC AND THE SUMERIANS. BRASS TOOK A WHILE LONGER TO DISCOVER AND DATES TO ABOUT 500 BC (http://www.boston.com/news/science/articles/2006/09/11/whats_the_difference_between_brass_and_bronze/), BASICALLY THEY ARE THE SAME COLOR, "BROWN".
An example of brass:
***NOT AN IMAGE OF JESUS CHRIST*** |
DOES NOT MATCH SCRIPTURE IN NO WAY SHAPE OR FORM GOOGLE CESARE BORGIAS |
***2 Corinthians 11:4***
4 For if he(any person) that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we(the apostles) have not preached, or if ye(they) receive another spirit, which ye(you) have not received, or another gospel, which ye(you) have not accepted, ye(you) might well bear(righteously deal) with them.
These are the words Paul spoke.
2. The bible uses the word "COLOR or COLOUR" so there is no mistaking his complexion.
Now to address the "Christ looked like an Arabian" ideology, Genesis tells us that Abraham's wife Sarah had an Egyptian Handmaid named Hagar. Abraham and Hagar had a son together who is not part of the covenant, according to Genesis 17:19 & 20; and his name is Ishmael. Ishmael is the father of Islam and all the Islamic nations. History shows that both Greece and Rome conquered the Middle-Eastern part of the world unto Northern Africa, breeding with the natives, hence changing the complexion of some. If Christ looked like an Arab, then he would have looked like these two gentlemen before the conquests, due to the fact that the whole Arab world at the time looked as they do:
Now we move to some more scriptural evidence presented in the bible. The first place we look is in Genesis 50, which describes the death of Israel(Jacob); the father of the Israelites, while dwelling in Egypt. Genesis 50:7&8 Explains how Joseph; an Israelite, his brothers and ALL the houses of Israel, along with ALL THE SERVANTS of Pharaoh, the elders of his house and all the elders of Egypt, clearly 2 completely different nations together. Genesis 50:11 Explains, while mourning the loss of their father Israel, in the land of Canaan in the floor of Atad, the Canaanites; the inhabitants of Canaan, saw the Israelites and the Egyptians together and stated "This is a grievous mourning for the Egyptians."
First, it is a proven fact, by both biology and archeology, that ancient Egypt was a race or nation of dark-skinned or what would be known today as "Black" people, as shown by the hieroglyphics found all throughout the land of Egypt, but where conquered by the Greeks & the Romans.
An example:
With the Romans, followed by the Arabs being the last wave of troops to enter the area in 639 AD for that time period. Let's not forget that Napoleon and his French forces visited the region much later, as well. These nations have all changed over the vast amount of time since Ha Mashiach, or who you call Christ walked the earth. So the description is given based on things in that time period.
There are also a multitude of other scriptures that show descriptions of how our Israelite forefathers looked.
Some examples:
Song of Solomon 1:5 ....... Solomon says he is "Black"
Lamentations 4:8 ....... The Nazarites VISAGE(Face) is described as "Black"
Lamentation 5:10 ....... Jeremiah says the Israelites are 'Black"
Amos 9:7 ....... The Most High compares Israel to the children of Ethiopians
Acts 21:37 ....... Paul is mistaken for an Egyptian(Rom 11:1)
So from all the information provided, one can easily tell what Christ looked like, as well as, how we should except him to look and believe on him in the realm of how the scripture has said.
This is not a racists attack on any set of people or an attempt to show racial supremacy, just a comparison of facts against scripture.
