What did Jesus look like - Jesus black or white
Bible experts of the world today inform us that Jesus was dark skinned & had black hair even though the Bible describes Him, before birth, as having a white face !
They assume the reason why Christianity gained favor in Europe was because the church leaders falsely depicted Him as being white.
Many say this was done to purify not only the image of Jesus but that of their religion.
This, according to experts, encouraged more from the white European communities to join the Christian movement by describing Him as white.
However, not only do modern day experts offer no proof of the color of His skin they chose to ignore the evidence that previous early day religious experts used in order to reach their conclusions that Jesus was white.
Psalm 45 verse 2…
"Thou art fairer than the children of men"…
King James Bible Daniel 10 verse 5…describing Jesus, yet to incarnate, as...
"his face like the appearance of lightning".
Everyone knows lightning looks like silver for which is predominantly white.
His body, in most versions the Bible, is described as being like topaz.
Pure topaz is white.
Some Bibles use the word beryl.
Pure topaz, like beryl, when there is a lack of impurities, appears white.
In the Bible, before & after the Great Flood, in Genesis 6 verses 2 to 7 it tells us that…
..."The sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of men were beautiful they took wives for themselves".
Those embodied angels, that succumbed to the fruits of the flesh, after taking human females for wives, had offspring called Nephilim.
Many Nephilim became cruel giants.
All had white skin, some with red hair & others had coneheads.
Most of them were evil.
As such people of that time thought that white skin was evil.
This, maybe, is confirmed in Isaiah 53 verse 2 a prophetic statement about how He looked…
..."Jesus had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him".
Could the reason for such disapproval also mean He had white skin ?
In most all of Michelangelo’s religious works many commissioned & approved of by Pope Julius ii depicted Jesus as not only being of fair skin but also having red hair.
From the Book Enoch...
... Although Lamech's wife gave birth to a white son, whom they named Noah, the child was an albino.
Lamech was assured that his wife was not impregnated by a fallen angel.
As people believed those of fair skin to be evil Lamech & his family would have been chastised & driven away from their community if they thought a fallen angel was the father.
The "depigmentation gene" attributed to pale skin ran through European populations about 6,000 years ago.
That gene, no doubt, would have spread into communities in the Middle East over the following 4,000 years thus making fair skin not so rare but still considered evil.
The Book of Enoch in the 'Totemic imagery of the nations’ dream visions, reveals that...
Adam was white
Eve was black
Cain was black
Abel was red
Seth was white.
According to the symbolic prophetic dream, the first white bull, represented Adam, as the first man given a higher soul thus turning him from a wild animal into the first hu - man.
3."and behold a bull came forth from the earth, and that bull was white (Adam) and along with this (later) came forth two bulls, one of them black (Cain) and the other red. 4. (Abel)
And that black bull gored the red one. 5. And pursued him over the earth, and there upon I could no longer see that red bull".
8. And after that she bore another white bull. ( Seth )
In the Bible Genesis...5 verse 3
Seth is described as being...
"in the image & likeness of his father".
This phrase was not used to describe Cain or Abel.
Meaning that Seth was the first son to have Adam's white color born of Eve.
As the name Adam also means red both father & son could have also had red hair.
Lamech, father of Noah, told his father Methuselah...
"I have begotten a strange son, diverse from and unlike man, and resembling the…
..."sons of the God".
"His body is white as snow and hair as white as wool.
It seems to me that he is not sprung from me but from the angels".
However, Lamech was assured by Methuselah that Lamech was the father & that Noah was an albino.
Lamech's concerns serves as confirmation that embodied angels, after impregnating earthly females, always gave birth to white skinned babies.
Mary, Joseph & obviously Jesus descended from the line of Seth, who was indirectly, described as, like his father, as being white.
Abraham & David were both described as ruddy.
Genesis 25 verse 25...
Esau is described as having red hair. Esau was King David's 9th great uncle.
Song of Solomon 5.
"My beloved is radiant and ruddy outstanding among ten thousand".
For many scholars Revelation 1 offers a clue about Jesus’ skin as it was said to be a darker hue than his hair that was described as being "as white wool, white as snow".
In conclusion...
When one considers the off spring of embodied angels all had white skin along with some having red hair & that Mary was not impregnated by a man then...
...if artificially inseminated with sperm from an embodied angel, the probabilities are the baby Jesus, especially directly after being born & for a time as an infant, was white skinned & possibly had red hair.
When older, Jesus, as we know, spent much of His time walking from town to town & as such His skin would have certainly been tanned & at times ruddy.
Remembering also...
1 Corinthians 9 verse 22...
Jesus said...
"I have become all things to all people."
The eye sees what the soul wants the eye to see.
Thank YOU.
