WAS CHRIST A BLACK MAN?

We have established that ancient Egyptians were black people, Kushites living in
Africa.
The black Pharaohs of the 25th Dynasty Egypt were in power, including King Piye
only 727 years before Christ (727 BC). Subsequently black kings of the dynasty,
including Shabaka, Shebitku, Taharqa and Tanutamun, ruled Egypt until the birth
of Christ. Originally, Mizraim (Egypt) is the birthplace of civilization. When
Christ was born, we saw him freely living and studying in Egypt until he was 12
years old (Matthew 2:13–23). It is almost inconceivable that all the stories
of the Bible are set in Africa and Middle East, but we are to believe that all
biblical characters were Caucasian with blue eyes and blond hair. Great efforts
were made to hide African civilisation, to the extent of cutting the nose of the
sphinx of Giza to hide its black features.
It would have been difficult for Joseph, the son of Jacob, to become a Prime
Minister in Egypt if he did not look like ancient black Egyptians. The people of
this part of Africa did not have issues with skin colour but tribes and nations.
The people of the time intermarried very easily because they all were different
shades of black. Joseph married a black Egyptian, the mother of his two sons,
Manasseh, and Ephraim who would become two of the future Jewish tribes. Moses,
who lived even earlier, approximately 1260 BC, was adopted by an ancient
Egyptian pharaoh’s daughter and brought into the palace. He grew up playing
with the rest of the royal family kids in the palace just like all of them. How
was it possible to blend in so well if Moses was Caucasian because the ancient
Egyptians were black? Moses married an Ethiopian wife.
‘Numbers 12: 1’ tells the story of Miriam and Aaron slandering Moses for
marrying a Cushite wife. Suddenly God is angry, and Miriam becomes leprous,
white as snow. With black Africans, leprous (like in vitiligo) skin develops
lighter whiter patches (white as snow). In Caucasian people, leprous develops
reddish patches not white. The point is that the descendants of Sham and Ham
were all black shades of skin and they lived together and intermarried freely.
The issue was not skin colour but tribe and nations. Moses was mistaken for an
Egyptian on one occasion in Exodus 2: 17, which confirms that he was black.
Today it is difficult to believe that Egypt was once totally black. As the
center of education and commerce, all roads led to Egypt Africans returning to
their home countries and foreigners stayed and soon outnumbered the Africans.
King David was black
King David’s mother was a Canaanite (black) Rahab, and his grandmother was
Ruth, a Moabite who was also a black Canaanite. 1 Samuel 16: 12 states that
Jesse sent for young David, who was dark and handsome, with beautiful eyes. And
the Lord said: “This is the one; anoint him.” In some Bible versions, it
says he was ‘Ruddy’, meaning ‘dark red’ like the African brown-red soil
but defiantly not a Caucasian.
King Solomon was also black
As the story goes, Solomon was the son of Bathsheba the Canaanite (black woman).
Bathsheba means daughter of Sheba. Genesis 10: 7-12 states that the sons of Cush
were Seba, Havilah, Sabtah, Raamah, and Sabteca. The sons of Raamah were Sheba
(father to Bathsheba) and Dedan. In the Song of Solomon 5: 11, King Solomon is
described as follows: His head is like the finest gold; his locks are bushy and
black as a raven.
New Testament
One of the most famous disciples of Jesus was Apostle Paul and he was
well-educated. He could think, write and articulate himself in Koine Greek. Paul
went to Jerusalem, where he gained formal instruction, under the instruction of
Gamaliel, and became a Pharisee. He wrote most of the books of the New
Testament. In Acts 21: 38 KJV, a Roman soldier says: “Art, not thou that
Egyptian’, mistaking him for an Egyptian because he was a dark-skinned Hebrew
and, therefore, likely Nubian/Ethiopian. Paul describes his own life in
Philippians 3: 5–6 and says he is ‘of the tribe of Benjamin’. He was ‘a
Hebrew of Hebrews’. However, when you see Apostle Paul in pictures today, he
is clearly a Caucasian.
The recent revelation by Russian President Vladimir Putin of the black-faced
religious icon has sparked a serious debate. Was our Lord and Savior Jesus
Christ a black man too, as he is depicted in Russian pictures? Read (Rev 1:
14-15) Brass feet, and (Daniel 10: 5-6 bronze feet and arms). Why is the black
race so hated everywhere in the world, yet we are not a threat to any race;
possibly the poorest race on the richest continent?. There is discrimination
against black people on every continent. Surprisingly John 15: 18-25 NIV Jesus
Christ says; “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If
you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own.”
Jesus was originally Yeshua
Yeshua’s (Yahushua) original Hebrew name was changed by the Greeks to
Iēsoûs.  Romans used the  Latin name  Iesvs. The English would later change it
to Jesus. The Greeks, who translated the original Bible to Greek from Hebrew,
simply did not want to use a ‘barbaric Hebrew’ name as they called it. There
is much unfounded yet traditional speculation as to why the name Jesus has
persisted for so long in the Christian domain when in reality no Hebrews in
first-century Galilee would have been able to direct you to anyone who went by
the name that is spelled or pronounced “J-e-s-u-s.” Secondly, the biblical
Israelite tribes did not ever name their children Greek, English, or Roman
names. If God named his son Yahushua, why did ‘men’ take it upon themselves
to change it to Jesus Christ? And why would we call him other than what God
named him, through Gabriel? Who are we really praying to? Acts 4: 12 says:
“And there is no salvation in any other man, for there is no other
‘name’” under heaven given to the children of men by which it is necessary
to receive life.” Comment septembereswatini@gmail.com
