Who Is Jesus, Black or White? Let’s Examine The Scriptures

A few days ago I published an article titled: WHERE Did We Get Christmas From? The Bible Or Pagan Celebration In the article, I concluded that Christmas was and is a Pagan Celebration which was squeezed into the Christian circles. In doing my research, I was pointing to what I am going to share with you today on who really Jesus is.

A few months ago, a friend of mine sent me a link on what he believed Jesus was and not the one we are used to. We had a back and forth chat and finally I told him let me do my research and I will share my finding with him. My main source was the Bible and other scholars who have done similar research with evidence which I will try to share in this article as you also do your own research. I believe it is very critical for us to understand certain things as we haven’t been taught in our school systems and also in the church.

Let’s go straight to Genesis 1:26-27, and the Bible says, And God 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 creepeth upon the earth.” So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. So the Most High created man in his own image and his own likeness. So we look at this terms, what is the meaning of image, what is the meaning of likeness, of make and created.

So when you look at the Strong Concordance, the term:

Image: strong’s H6754 is defined as likeness (of resemblance): picture, photo. We are a picture of the Most High, just like you can take a picture of yourself, the image you see their is you.

Likeness: strong’s H1823 means, in the same pattern or image. We look like him.

Make: strong’s H6213 means to press, squeeze, to accomplish, to model. The Most high modelled us in his own image so that we would resemble him.

Created: strongs H1254 to polish, to make smooth, fashion, produce (to beget, to be born)

What substance did the Most High use to create man? Let’s look at Genesis 2:7, the Bible says, And the Most High formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

The most high is creating man, and what does he pick? He takes the dust of the ground. What is the meaning of formed: Strongs H3335: To squeeze into shape; to mould into a form especially as a potter. Ground: Strongs H127: earthly substance for building or constructing, land. If you look at the picture above you will see the colour of the clay is dark and that’s what the Most High used in creation.

What Is The Colour Of The People In The Book?

Genesis 10:1, Now these are the generations of the sons of Noah, Shem, Ham, and Japheth: and unto them were sons born after the flood. So we are beginning with Noah because remember the other generations have been wiped off by the flood and now Noah was left with his sons and their families. Now for us to understand the colour, let’s look deeper to his son Ham. Ham means hot, Strongs H2526, and most of the time Egypt was referred as Ham because it was very hot (Psalm 78:51; 105:23; 106:22). From the Coptic and Sahidic dialect, Ham means blackness and heat.

Zondervan’s Compact Bible Dictionary defines Ham as The youngest son of Noah, born probably about 96 years before the Flood; and one of eight persons to live through the Flood. He became the progenitor of the dark races; not the Negroes, but the Egyptians, Ethiopians, Libyans and Canaanites.

Young Bible Dictionary defines Ham as the son of Noah and father of Cush, Egypt, Put and Canaan. While they may have all been dark skinned, they were not the forefather of the Negroid race, but rather of peoples associated with Egypt in the North of the Continent of Africa. Ham is a black person, so don’t be fooled with the current people who are living in Egypt today they are no indigenous people.

Genesis 10:6, And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan. And when you look at the meaning of Cush, it means black, Strongs H3568. the name of a son of Ham, and of his territory; Cush (or Ethiopia). The reason as to why we are looking at Ham, is because of the time the Israelites and Ham mingled together and most times they were mistaken from one another. Which means Shem and Ham were the same.

Genesis 42:8, And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew not him. Remember at this time Joseph was the Prime Minister and the brothers had come to buy grain. If Joseph was white, the brothers could have easily identified him and also if he was white in a blacks man land, then most likely he won’t be the Prime Minister.

Genesis 50:8-11, and all the house of Joseph, and his brethren, and his father’s house: only their little ones, and their flocks, and their herds, they left in the land of Goshen. And there went up with him both chariots and horsemen: and it was a very great company. And they came to the threshingfloor of Atad, which is beyond Jordan, and there they mourned with a great and very sore lamentation: and he made a mourning for his father seven days. And when the inhabitants of the land, the Canaanites, saw the mourning in the floor of Atad, they said, This is a grievous mourning to the Egyptians: wherefore the name of it was called Abel-mizraim, which is beyond Jordan. This time, Jacob had died and they were going to burry him in Canaan. The Canaanites could tell the difference between Egyptians and the Israelites who were the sons of Shem because they were dark coloured.

Exodus 2:18, And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day? And they said, An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds, and also drew water enough for us, and watered the flock. Remember here is when Moses had escaped from Egypt, after killing an Egyptian.

Acts 21:11, And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, Canst thou speak Greek? Art not thou that Egyptian, which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four thousand men that were murderers? But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew of Tarsus, a city in Cilicia, a citizen of no mean city: and, I beseech thee, suffer me to speak unto the people. 

Acts 13:1, Now there were in the church that was at Antioch certain prophets and teachers; as Barnabas, and Simeon that was called Niger,-Latin origin; black.

Jeremiah 14:2, Judah mourneth, and the gates thereof languish; they are black unto the ground; and the cry of Jerusalem is gone up. The tribe of Judah where the Messiah comes from is composed of black people.

Job 30:30, My skin is black upon me, And my bones are burned with heat. This was a testimony of Job concerning himself.

Lamentation 4:8, Their visage is blacker than a coal; They are not known in the streets: Their skin cleaveth to their bones; It is withered, it is become like a stick. If this people were white, how would they turn to black?

Songs of Solomon 1:5, I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon. Look not upon me, because I am black, Because the sun hath looked upon me: My mother’s children were angry with me; They made me the keeper of the vineyards; But mine own vineyard have I not kept. Remember Kaedar was the son of Ishmael.

Exodus 4:6, ⁶ And the Lord said furthermore unto him, Put now thine hand into thy bosom. And he put his hand into his bosom: and when he took it out, behold, his hand was leprous as snow.

Numbers 12:10, And the cloud departed from off the tabernacle; and, behold, Miriam became leprous, white as snow: and Aaron looked upon Miriam, and, behold, she was leprous.

Let’s look at this scripture, very interesting. Isaiah 29:22, Therefore thus saith the Lord, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale. Strongs H2357: Pale means to be white, grow white, grow pale. The face of the Israelites will never grow white. The current people at the Levant are not the seed of the Most High. God is not a liar, he is not a human to lie. So all these years we have believed in lies.

What About Angelic Beings?

Daniel 10:5-6, ⁵ Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: ⁶ His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

Ezekiel 1:5-6-7, ⁵ Also out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. ⁶ And every one had four faces, and every one had four wings. ⁷ And their feet were straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf’s foot: and they sparkled like the colour of burnished brass.

What About The Son of Man?

This is a testimony of his own disciple John, the book of Revelation 1:12-15, ¹² And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; ¹³ And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. ¹⁴ His head and his hairs were white like wool, (only one group of people has this kind of hair and you will find them in Sub-Saharan Africa and others who are scattered all over the earth) as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; ¹⁵ And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.

Revelation 2:18, And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass; This is the kind of Colour that you will see in the Sub-Saharan Africa.

What About The Most High Himself?

Daniel 7:9, I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. The father looks like the son.

Revelation 4:1-3, After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me; which said, Come up hither, and I will shew thee things which must be hereafter. ² And immediately I was in the spirit: and, behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. ³ And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an emerald.

If this is the colour of the Most High, I am humbled. Do your own research and read the Bible, you will see the truth. How long have you been saved, have you come across these scriptures? I submit to you brothers and sisters that the Messiah and the Most High are all black/dark people as they call us. Someone will ask, is colour important? Yes, it is if the Messiah had a physical characteristic of the people of his community, to negate his colour is to negate part of who he is. You cannot separate the Messiah from his colour.

Ecclesiastes 12:13, Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
