UNSEALED: THE PHYSICAL APPEARANCE OF ANCIENT IZRA-EL

THE SHEMITIC HEBREWS  IN COMPARISON TO THE SONS OF HAM..........

And the sons of Ham are Cush & Mizraim &  Phut & Canaan "Genesis 10:6"

For years, scholars, theologians and archaeologists have debated the answer to the question, "How did the ancient Israelites look physically?" Although the scriptures and other historical documents have left a lot of evidence that confirms the  physical appearance of the Israelites, much of this information is still unknown to the masses. The popular belief today among Christians, scholars and theologians, is that the people known as "Ashkenazi Jews" are the direct descendants of the ancient Israelites. But, can this be proven beyond a shadow of a doubt? 

The answer is NO.  

The scriptures which will be used here as the main source, supported by history and archaeology proves that these Jews are not the physical descendants of the ancient Hebrew Israelite nation. In addition it reveals who the true descendants are. The answer may leave you in shock.

Israel is mentioned in scripture over 2,500 times. The scriptures contain the Hebrews' entire history. In fact, no other people on the face of the earth have such an extensive recorded history, not even the ancient Egyptians. Everything we need to know about the ancient Hebrews is contained in Scripture. So, let's examine these facts, information that to this day remains unknown or hidden to many "bible" readers.

                   ISRAEL IN THE LAND OF EGYPT

The history of the Israelite nation began in Egypt, the land of Ham. They entered Egypt 66 in number, (not including Joseph, his wife and two sons who were already in Egypt), and left numbering over two million people. Ancient Israel spent 430 years in Egypt. For half that time they enjoyed good favor with the Egyptians, but for the remainder of those years they were enslaved and horribly mistreated by them. One of the  facts  scripture gives us about Israel (IZRA-EL in the Hebrew tongue), is in regard to their physical appearance. Throughout scripture Israel is described as looking like the sons of Ham (Khawm in the Hebrew tongue), in physical appearance.

Ham was one of Noah's two sons, Shem was the other. Japheth is a fabrication. Noah's descendants repopulated the earth after the Great Flood. Ham's descendants are traced to the families of Africa.  Ham (Khawm) in Hebrew means BLACK, HOT AND BURNT.

Ham had four sons,

1.  CUSH (Ethiopians / Cushites & Nubians),

2.  MIZRAIM (Egyptians / Khemet),

3.  PHUT (Ancient Libyans or Somalia),

4.  CANAAN (Canaanite, the original inhabitants of the land of Israel) genesis 10:6-19.

All four of Ham's sons and their descendants settled in and around the continent of Africa, this includes the so-called Middle East which is also a part of the Continent of Africa.  Ham sons are the people of the African continent, the Ancient Egyptians, Ethiopians, Somalia's, Canaanites etc. The Israelites are descendants of Noah son SHEM, through Abraham, he is the father of the Hebrew Israelite Nation.  Abraham is the father of Isaac, Isaac is the father of Jacob, Jacob had twelve sons and these sons are the progenitors of the Israelite nation.  The Twelve tribes of Israel are as follows:

REUBEN                 GAD               

SIMEON                  ASHER

LEVI                        NAPHILTI

JUDAH                    ISSACHAR

ZEBULON              JOSEPH

DAN                       BENJAMIN

 

Each one of Jacob's sons became a tribal nation, that made up the greater nation of Israel.  EXAMPLE:  Reuben's descendants became known as the tribe of Reuben.  Judah's descendants became known as the tribe of Judah and so on and so forth.  The nation of Israel are the descendants of Jacob who had his name changed to Israel by the Most High (Genesis 32:28). That's the basics, let's move on to the meat of our lesson. We will  begin with the story of Jacob's second Youngest son Joseph, and his time in Egypt. Joseph was one of the twelve sons of Jacob (Chikobu in Hebrew). 

Jacob sired Joseph in his old age, and he was clearly his favorite son. This caused Joseph's brothers to become jealous of him. Ultimately, their jealousy resulted in Joseph being sold by Arab merchants as a slave to Egyptians. Over the course of time Joseph became Viceroy (Governor)  of Egypt and was second in command to Pharaoh in authority. There was a famine in Canaan, where Jacob and his sons lived. (Pharaoh had a dream which Joseph interpreted. His dream told of the forthcoming famine and gave Egypt an opportunity to prepare by storing food.) So, Jacob sent his ten sons to Egypt to buy bread. When Joseph's ten brothers came into Egypt they were brought before him. Joseph recognized his brothers, but they didn't recognize him (Genesis 42:1-8).

Since the biblical Egyptians were a black-skinned people, Joseph had to be black-skinned also. If he were white skinned,  his brothers would have recognized him easily among the "black" Egyptians.  His brothers  thought Joseph was another Egyptian. The ancient Egyptians of Joseph time were indeed what we know today as "black",  this is a fact attested to by many.

Gerald Massey, English writer and author of the book, Egypt the Light of the World, wrote, "The dignity is so ancient that the insignia of the Pharaoh evidently belonged to the time when Egyptians wore nothing but the girdle of the Negro." (p 251)

Sir Richard Francis Burton, a 19th century English explorer, writer and linguist in 1883 wrote to Gerald Massey, "You are quite right about the "AFRICAN" origin of the Egyptians. I have 100 human skulls to prove it." Scientist, R. T. Prittchett, states in his book The Natural History of Man, "In their complex and many of the complexions and in physical peculiarities the Egyptians were an "AFRICAN" race (p 124-125). The Ancient Greek historian Herodotus, who visited Egypt in the 5th century B.C.E., saw the Egyptians face to face and described them as black-skinned with woolly hair. Anthropologist, Count Constatin de Volney (1727-1820),spoke about the race of the Egyptians that produced the Pharaohs. He later paid tribute to Herodotus' discovery when he said:

The ancient Egyptians were true Negroes of the same type as all native born Africans. That being so, we can see how their blood mixed for several centuries with that of the Romans and Greeks, must have lost the intensity of its original color, while retaining nonetheless the imprint of its original mold. We can even state as a general principle that the face (referring to The Sphinx) is a kind of monument able, in many cases, to attest to or shed light on historical evidence on the origins of the people." The fact that the ancient Egyptians were black-skin prompted Volney to make the following statement:

"What a subject for meditation, just think that the race of black men today, our slaves and the object of our scorn, is the very race to which we owe our arts, science and even the use of our speech." The testimony of the ancients, the scriptures, & many Egyptologists, along with archaeology confirms that the Egyptians during biblical times were a "BLACK" PEOPLE. This is important to know, as we continue, we'll see that the bible on multiple occasions describes the ancient Hebrews as looking like the Egyptians in physical appearance.

Next, in Genesis chapter 50 verses 7-11, scripture will describe ALL the Hebrews as looking like the ancient Egyptians. After Jacob (who's name was changed to IZRA-EL - Israel) died in the land of Egypt, all the Hebrews and Egyptians went down to the land of Canaan to bury him (He asked his son to bury him in the land of Canaan with his forefathers Genesis 49:29-30). Verses 7-8, states that all the elders of Pharaoh's house and all the elders of the land of Egypt along with all the Hebrews (except for their small children) went down.VERSE 9 says, "It was a very great company."VERSE 11 says, that the Canaanite saw the funeral procession and said "THIS IS A GRIEVOUS MOURNING TO THE EGYPTIANS". But, remember this was a mixed multitude of Hebrews and Egyptians going to bury a HEBREW, and the Canaanite identified them both as Egyptians. WHY? Because, the Canaanite saw a great company of black-skinned people who all look like native (black) Egyptians.

If the Hebrews were a white skinned people, as we have been led to believe. The Canaanite who were familiar with both the Hebrews and Egyptians would have acknowledged them both by saying, "THIS IS A GRIEVOUS MOURNING TO THE EGYPTIANS AND HEBREWS."  Without doubt white Hebrews would have stuck out like a sore thumb among the black Egyptians.  The Canaanites never Identified the Hebrews separately from the Egyptians.  Since it was a Hebrew being buried you know the Israelites were the ones who were mourning the greatest. The Canaanites saw this and thought those Israelites in mourning were Egyptians.  The scripture goes on to say that the Canaanite named the place where they saw this great mourning for a HEBREW Abel Mizraim which means the meadow of Egypt/Mizraim or Mourning of the Egyptians. Now let's go to the greatest and most famous story about the Israelites sojourn in the land of Egypt.  This would be the story of prince Moses cousin to Ramses). 

Many years after the death of Joseph, His brothers and all that generation that entered Egypt during the time he was viceroy. The Hebrew population in Egypt grew tremendously. Because of this, they were no longer looked upon as friendly neighbors by the ruling class of the Egyptians now who considered them hostile enemies and enslaved them. Because of the Hebrews' population growth the rulers of Egypt who never knew Joseph decided they would impose upon them their own form of birth control. New Pharaoh decreed that all Hebrew males are killed at birth (Exodus 1), this brings us directly to the story of Moses.

Moses was born a Hebrew - Israelite from the tribe of Levi (exodus 2:1-3). He spent 40 years in the house of pharaoh (Acts 7:23) and was raised as the Pharaoh's Grandson, he was named there too (Exodus 2: 6, 10). This was during the same time that Pharaoh ordered all Hebrew males to be killed at birth. So, with Pharaoh, being a black-skinned descendant of Khawm / Ham, it would of course follow that Moses was black-skinned also. Many Scholars say the Pharaoh who was on the throne of Egypt at the time of Moses' birth, was Pharaoh Seti I. He was the father of Rameses II, the Pharaoh of the oppression, also known as Rameses the Great.

George Rawlinson, an English author wrote a book entitled History of Egypt. On page 252, he gives a description of Seti I. He states: "SETI'S FACE WAS THOROUGHLY AFRICAN. HE HAD A STORMY FACE WITH A DEPRESSED FLAT NOSE, THICK LIPS AND HEAVY CHIN." Moses had to have the same physical characteristics because again, he was raised in the house of Pharaoh, as the grandson of Pharaoh, when Pharaoh ordered all other Hebrew males to be killed at birth. If the Israelites were a white-skinned people, how could Moses the Hebrew survive (secretly) in the house of Pharaoh if they were white-skinned Egyptians for 40 years, and not be noticed. Furthermore, after giving the decree (himself) to kill all Hebrew males, how could Pharaoh face and rule over his people, if he knowingly had one living in his house with all the rights and privileges of his own family? Moses survived 40 years in the palace of Pharaoh because he was a black man just as the Egyptians were.

This is deep, Pharaoh looked into the eyes of Moses as a baby and thought this was his own flesh and blood.  He looked into the eyes of Moses as a teenager and thought this was his own flesh and blood.  He looked into the eyes of Moses as a young man in his 20's and 30's and thought this was his own flesh and blood.  Pharaoh saw Moses grow into a man of 40’s and he thought this was his own flesh and blood grandson. Just as the Canaanite couldn't tell the Hebrews from the Egyptians. Pharaoh couldn't either, or Moses would have been killed instantly.

Scripture tells us that Moses killed an Egyptian, after he saw him mistreating a Hebrew. So Moses had to flee from Egypt for his life, because Pharaoh found out and sought to kill him (Exodus 2:12-15).  Pharaoh was trying to kill Moses because he found out Moses was a Hebrew and not his flesh and blood grandson. Moses fled to the land of Midian  (located in Saudi Arabia) where he helped seven daughters of the priest of Midian water their flock, after chasing away some bully shepherds. The girls went home to their father, Reuel and told him what happened.

Exodus 2:16-19 

16: Now the priest of Midian had seven daughters: and they came and drew water, and filled the troughs to water their father's flock.

17: And the shepherds came and drove them away: but Moses stood up and helped them, and watered their flock.

18: And when they came to Reuel their father, he said, How is it that ye are come so soon to day?

19: 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.

Notice they didn't say a Hebrew in Egyptian clothing saved us, they described Moses as a black-skinned descendant of Ham (Egyptian). Further proof that Moses was "black" can be found in Exodus  4:6-7, In this passage, CHWH / YHWH, (The Creator's name in Hebrew) is showing Moses miracles so that he can prove to the children of Israel who sent him. CHWH tells Moses to put his hand into his bosom, which he does. When he takes his hand out, it is LEPROUS (White) as snow. If Moses was already white-skinned, what would have been the miracle in turning the skin of his hand white?

But, since Moses and the rest of the Hebrews were a black skinned people, this would have been a very powerful miracle, to turn his hand  (skin) the opposite color of the rest of his flesh. Verse 7 says, CHWH told Moses to put his hand back into his bosom, and it turned as his other flesh. Meaning that the rest of his body (skin) was other than white or the opposite of white, which is black. In the book of Numbers, chapter 12 verse 1, Moses' sister and brother, Miriam and Aaron spoke out against him because he married an Ethiopian woman, (not because she was black skinned, but because she was of another culture. / Nation, read Acts 10:28:) their behavior angered CHWH. Verse 10 says, He TURNED MIRIAM LEPROUS, WHITE AS SNOW. Once again if Miriam, who was a Hebrew, was white to begin with, what would have been the curse of turning a white skinned person white?

It is an established fact that The Bible always mentioned leprosy in the context of the skin turning white because of a disease or in relationship to some specific wrong doing.

Leviticus 13:2 states:

"When a man shall have in the skin of his flesh a rising, a scab, or bright spot and it be in the skin of his flesh like the plague of leprosy. Then he shall be brought to Aaron, the priest, or to one of the sons of the priest".

verse 4: If the bright spot be WHITE in the skin of his flesh, the priest shall shut up him that has the plague seven days.

Verse 6: And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day: and behold, if the plague be somewhat DARK, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean: it is but a scab; and he shall wash his clothes and be clean".

In the 2nd and 4th verse a bright or white spot in the skin is mentioned. A bright spot means a spot that is lighter than the regular dark brown / black skin. Moses said in the sixth verse: "And the priest shall look on him again the seventh day, and behold if the plague be somewhat dark, and the plague spread not in the skin, the priest shall pronounce him clean..."

This is because the skin is getting darker like his original skin tone. A black skinned man or woman with these spots covering some part of their body is a partial leper. However, once the plague of the whiteness has covered his entire body from his head to his feet, the leper is clean. He has completely changed his color like the albino. The people who had this form of leprosy in the scriptures CAN BE classified as albino, and these albinos are the only white skinned Hebrews that existed in ancient times, they were the minority. If Israel was a white skinned people in ancient times, why does The scriptures only speak of them as TURNING WHITE OR BECOMING WHITE WITH LEPROSY (in reference to their skin color). In the book of Matthew 2:13, the angel of CHWH told Joseph to arise and take the young child iesua, (The Messiah’s true Hebrew name is Joshua from ihechiuwa (the light of the God of this world) and his mother Mary (Miria in Hebrew) and FLEE INTO EGYPT. He was told to stay there until he received further instruction, because Herod would seek the young child to destroy him.

13: And when they were departed, behold, the angel of CHWH appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying, Arise, and take the young child and his mother, and flee into Egypt, and be thou there until I bring thee word: for Herod will seek the young child to destroy him.

14: When he arose, he took the young child and his mother by night, and departed into Egypt:

Joseph, Miriam and iesua were told to flee into Egypt,  not for military protection, because during this time, Egypt was a Roman province under Roman control. They fled into Egypt because Egypt was still a "black" country, populated by a majority of black-skinned people (Egyptians). Joseph, Miriam and iEsua would have been just another black-skinned family among many. Remember, they fled into Egypt to HIDE from Herod who was seeking to kill iEsua. If iEsua and the rest of the Hebrews looked like those abominable pictures the churchians display it would have been hard for him to hide in Egypt and not be noticed.

NOTE: the above fact about iesua hiding in Egypt was attested to by a biblical scholar (DR. MARK GOODACRE) on a BBC produced program in 2001.

The Program was called 'THE COMPLETE JESUS'. Dr. Mark Goodacre (pictured) stated that it would have been hard for iesua to hide among the Egyptians, if he didn’t look like the Egyptians, he was saying that iesua could not have been white skinned. He admitted in the program that iesua was a dark /black skinned man. HERE IS HIS EXACT QUOTE FROM THE PROGRAM ENTITLED THE COMPLETE JESUS.

“Now it’s very unlikely that Jesus would have been able to be HIDDEN in Egypt, if he had a very different color of SKIN from the people in Egypt.” He also made mention that the Israelites of the first to third centuries wore their hair in Afro's. this is only the tip of the iceberg, you can't hold down the truth.

Now back to our lesson.

Herod was put on the throne of Israel by the Romans.  Egypt was under Roman dominion. All Herod had to do was check with the Roman officials in Egypt to find out if there were any Hebrews with baby boys around. But, since the Hebrews and the Egyptians looked the same physically, it would have been hard to single out a Hebrew family among the native "black" ancient Egyptians. As was mentioned, the ancient Egyptians were the descendants of Noah's son, Khawm, or Ham in English. Khawm means black, hot and burnt. The ancient Egyptians called their land and themselves Khemet, which in their tongue means "THE LAND OF BLACKS." The word Khemet is nothing but a variation on the word Khawm in the language of ancient Egypt.

In Psalm 78:51, Egypt is called "The House of ham (Khawm)."

"...AND SMOTE ALL THE FIRSTBORN IN EGYPT; THE TABERNACLES (HOUSE) OF HAM (KHAWM)."

Psalm 105:23,27 -- 23 "ISRAEL ALSO CAME INTO EGYPT; AND SOJOURNED IN THE LAND OF HAM (KHAWM)."

Verse 27 "THEY SHOWED HIS SIGNS AMONG THEM, AND WONDERS IN THE LAND OF HAM (KHAWM)."

The scriptures call Egypt the land of Khawm, and remember one of the meanings of Khawm is black,  the scriptures are calling Egypt "The Land of Black" which is what Khemet means. Egypt is called the land of Khawm because the Egyptians were descendants of Noah's son Khawm. This is more than likely the reason they called themselves Khemet. Scripture  supports the fact that the Egyptians were a black-skinned people. In the book of Amos chapter 9: we will now see Israel being compared to Ham (Khawm) first born son Cush / Ethiopians.

Verse 7 says "ARE YOU NOT AS CHILDREN OF THE ETHIOPIANS UNTO ME, O CHILDREN OF ISRAEL?" In this Verse, the Israelites are being called children of the Ethiopians by the Most High. The Ethiopians are a known black- skinned people, and the most high is calling Israel their children. How much sense would it make to call a white skinned people, CHILDREN OF THE ETHIOPIANS? The majority of Jews today are white-skin. If ancient Israel were a white skinned people, wouldn't it make more sense to compare them to a white skin nation. This verse does not say, "ARE YOU NOT AS CHILDREN OF THE ROMANS / GREEKS / GENTILES UNTO ME O CHILDREN OF ISRAEL?"

It clearly compares Israel with a black skinned people. The reason for this is simple. Israel was and is a black skinned people, and the majority of them still are. That verse also coincides with Acts 8: 26-36. When the angel of CHWH spoke to the apostle, Philip saying:

"Arise go toward the south."

Verse 27: "...And he arose and went: and behold, a man of ETHIOPIA an eunuch of great authority... who had come to Jerusalem for to WORSHIP."

In verse 29, The Spirit tells Phillip to go and JOIN HIMSELF TO THE CHARIOT OF THIS ETHIOPIAN.

Verse 30, tells us that Philip heard him reading SCRIPTURE (Hebrew Scripture) about iesua, (erroneously called Jesus) which he didn't understand.

In verses 34-36, Philip explains the meaning of the scripture and then preaches iesua to him, and in verse 38, Phillip baptizes him.

Let's analyze these verses.

First, this "Ethiopian" was coming to Jerusalem to worship. In those days only the Hebrews came to Jerusalem for worship, because this is where the Temple of CHWH was, making Jerusalem the ancient spiritual home of all Hebrews (2nd Chronicles 6:6 - 7:16). Hebrews continued to go to Jerusalem to worship, up until the time of the Roman destruction in 70 C.E. As a matter of fact, Many Hebrews were worshiping at the temple while the Romans were breaking down the walls of Jerusalem about to lay siege to it.

Second, this Ethiopian had Hebrew scriptures in his possession. In those days the scriptures were still considered sacred, and remained in the possession of the Hebrews, not everyone had access to scripture, as we do today. Hebrews, whether abroad or in the land, were the primary owners of scripture in those days.

Third, the Ethiopian was baptized by Phillip. All these facts prove that this Ethiopian was a Hebrew, according to what Peter said in Acts 10:28: "You know how that it is an unlawful thing for a man that is a Hebrew TO KEEP COMPANY OR COME UNTO ONE OF ANOTHER NATION." If the Hebrews thought it was unlawful to keep company with those of another nation, why would Philip go and keep company with this Ethiopian, if indeed he was from an entirely different nation? Philip didn't even try to argue with the spirit, when he was told to go and teach this Ethiopian. The reason for that is: The Ethiopian was a Hebrew who lived in Ethiopia. Making him what we know as an Ethiopian Hebrew of the house of iehuddah(Judah and Benjamin).

As stated previously, it is a known fact that the Ethiopians are a black-skinned people. The name Ethiopian comes from the Greek word Aethiops which means burnt face. This was a title the ancient Greeks gave to the people who lived south of Egypt because they were closer to the equator than the Egyptians. Their hue on an average was a little darker than the Egyptians. Abbysnia was their ancient name too apart from being the true horn of Gihon Culture 

This Hebrew was not called Ethiopian just because he lived in Ethiopian, but because he also looked like a black-skinned Ethiopian. To this very day, there are many black-skinned Hebrews who live or have lived in Ethiopia in the past. Today many of them are known as the "Falasha" or Beta IZRA-EL. So far we have not seen where scripture likens Israel to any white-skinned nations as it relates to physical appearance. This is very important to understand because many of the people who are called Jews today are white- skinned and come from Europe originally were Arabs from Assyria and Babylonia.

 

These white skinned Jews make up the majority of the Jews in Israel and in the world. This is not a racist or "anti-jewish" statement. It's only the truth according to the scripture. For further proof of the color of the ancient Israelites let's look at 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, AND LUCIUS OF CYRENE, and Manaen which had been brought up with Herod the tetrarch, and Paul". The word Niger is a Latin word that means BLACK, and Cyrene is a city in Libya, which is located in North Africa. Historians and scholars both agree that the city of Cyrene was a black area, meaning it was heavily populated with black skin-people in biblical times. Cyrene is also the place where Simon, the man who helped iesua carry the cross (execution machine) was from (Matt. 27:32, Mark 15:21, Luke 23:26). Many acknowledge that Simon (the cross bearer) was a "black" man.

This man who was called Niger wasn't called black because he was the only black- skinned person there. He was called black because his hue was maybe darker than the rest of the prophets and teachers. Much like among "Africans", when one of our brothers or sisters has a skin tone that is darker than the rest, we sometimes give that person a nickname that describes his color. If the person's name is Michael we might call him Black Mike, or we might just call him Black, even though we are all black-skinned. He's just been given a FRIENDLY nick name which describes him/her. This is why Simeon was called Niger or black. But this also is a code. 

A great key. God(CHi) or CHWH or YHWH being what He is, a highly coded being who also speaks to humans always in codes would plant His Hebrews behind a river that would be named after this scriptural name in the future and in a country also with this same name being the most populous black concentration on planet earth. But this on its own is not a great wonder.

What is of greatest wonder is God writing through Moses 7000 years ago in Deuteronomy 28:15 down 68 about the destiny of Hebrews in the hands of a group of people He identified as "a swift eagle flying nation" that would come in ships to yoke Hebrews in chains and sell them as slaves until they all lose value as chattels in the market. To prove that it's His indelible word being acted out, He made that incident to occupy the worst notorious timeline in the history of humanity on planet earth. 

Deuteronomy 28:15-down played out to the whole world as a finger of CHi pointing to His Hebrews? A version chronologically organised incontrovertibly from the guidance of the URIM & THUMMIM COUNSEL/JUDGEMENT OF YHWH, in accordance to events as they truly played out in the lives of ancient and modern Hebrews or Hibos, away from the mumble jumble that is the edited version presented in the scriptures exists and the on-line link can be obtained by permission. Scripture confirms in Acts 13:1, that there were black-skinned men who were prophets and teachers at the church in Antioch. But, we must understand that the Hebrews were not dealing with any other people or racial group at this time, other than scattered Israel. It is written in Acts 11:19:

"Now they which were scattered abroad upon the persecution that arose about Stephen, traveled As far as Phenice and Cyprus, and Antioch, PREACHING THE WORD TO NONE BUT THE HEBREWS ONLY".

This was before the alleged apostles ministries to the Gentiles started, so why were these "black" men there, if the Hebrews were a white skinned people? Answer: Simple, they were Hebrews, just like others who were also there with them in the church in Antioch. Niger and LUCIUS were prophets and teachers, and as scripture shows us, all the prophets and teachers were Hebrews. Now, I will refer to a few historical sources that are also in agreement with scripture about the physical appearance of the Hebrews. 

The Romans who knew the Hebrews well, had this to say about their physical appearance. A Roman historian named Tacitus who lived about C.E. 90 said, "Many assert that the Hebrews are an RACE OF ETHIOPIAN ORIGINS."  Once again, we have the Hebrews compared to one of HAM’S black-skinned descendants. Historian and scholar, J.A. Rogers commented, "For the Romans to have considered them Ethiopians is a clear indication of their color, because the Ethiopians are a known black people". Tacitus also said that the Hebrews were Egyptians , who left Egypt during a disease outbreak.  

The Roman Emperor, Justinian the Great, who ruled basically from 527 - 564 C.E., 500 years after the time of iesua, had engraved on a coin, the image of iesua with woolly / kinky hair and "BLACK" features. On the obverse side of the coin there is an image of Justinian but with straight hair. The Cambridge Encyclopedia has this particular listing about that image on the coin. "Whatever the fact, this coin, with the straight haired Justinian on the obverse side, places beyond doubt the belief that "Jesus" was a Negro (black-skinned)." Now, let's go back to the scripture for more information that proves the Hebrews were a black-skinned nation. 

Lamentations 5:10 reads:

"OUR SKIN WAS BLACK LIKE AN OVEN BECAUSE OF THE TERRIBLE FAMINE."

Notice, it says here that the Hebrews' skin was black like an oven or charcoal black, because of the famine. When the Jews were in concentration camps in Europe during WWII, many of them were starved or in famine. Footage of them in the camps, show that their skin turned pale white. The same is true of the people in Kosovo. They were in famine and their skin turned pale white, because they are also a white-skinned people. But pictures of starving people in Africa, show that their skin turns jet black or darker than its original hue.

When brown or black skinned people don't eat for a long period of time or get sick, they get darker. When white or lighter skinned people get sick or don't eat, they turn pale. In this verse of Lamentations, the prophet Jeremiah clearly was describing a black skinned in many places throughout scriptures it mentions that the Israelites wore their hair in locks. Locks or some call them dreadlocks is when the hair locks together and grows.

Numbers 6:5.. All the days of the vow of his separation there shall no razor come upon his head: until the days be fulfilled, in the which he separateth himself unto CHWH, he shall be holy, and shall let the LOCKS of the hair of his head grow.

Judges 16:13 And Delilah said unto Samson, Hitherto thou hast mocked me, and told me lies: tell me wherewith thou mightest be bound. And he said unto her, If thou weavest the seven LOCKS of my head with the web.

19: And she made him sleep upon her knees; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven LOCKS of his head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him. Isn't it ludicrous having to watch videos and images of white Sampson wearing dreadlocks?

Our hair in its natural state is like the wool of a lamb. If a "black" person doesn't cut or comb their hair it will eventually Lock together (This is why they are called "LOCKS''). When our hair naturally lock, the hair forms giant masses at random all over the head. Most of the time you will only get 7 or eight locks just as it says Samson had.   

Samson NEVER CUT HIS HAIR, he let it grow and it was left "unkempt" and it grew into locks. If Samson the Israelite was a white skin person with "White hair texture" his hair would have just grown straight and long, but not lock together. The scriptures say he had 7 locks, it is very rare for a white person to get locks naturally.  The scriptures are showing us that Samson the Israelite was a "black" man. All the preceding information is sufficient proof that the biblical Israelites were a black skinned people / nation. Now, we must go one more step, and prove that they were a black skinned people from the beginning of their history beginning with Abraham called Abirahma or Abiama in root Hebrews. Abraham or Abiama or Abirahma is the father of the Hebrew Israelite nation.

He was the first to be called Hebrew probably from the name of one of his ancestors called eber. Which probably is also a wrong interpretation because the Hebrew history was never written with vowel alphabets, so the substitution with "e" must be wrong but use "i" or "h" then eber would be "ibr" or "hbr". In (Genesis 14:13) He came from Ur of the Chaldeans, (Genesis 11:31) which is in the country of Iraq today. Godfrey Higgins, a reliable English antiquary says, "The Chaldeans were originally Negroes". Professor Rudolph Windsor is in total agreement with this, which he states in his very noteworthy book, FROM BABYLON TO TIMBUKTU. He writes, "The Chaldeans and the other People of that region were Jet black in their complexion." The root word of Ur which is ORR means fire oven. The average temperatures in that region was 120 degrees. this is where the ancient Sumerian civilization began. The Sumerians called themselves "Saggig", which means "black headed ones", because they shaved their heads. 

The ancient Chaldeans were their cousins.

Abraham whose father was Terah, was a relative of Nimrod. He was a merchant who sold idols in the city of Ur where they found themselves searching for CHWH and a city he may have built on earth. It's a widely known fact that Nimrod was the son of Cush. Cush is the progenitor of the Nubians / Ethiopians, and the Nubians are a black skinned people. So, this means that Nimrod was also black. Abraham came from this part of the world, which in his day was overwhelmingly populated with black skinned people. This is not surprising because in that region the average temperature was 120 degrees. This means that the people in that part of the world had to have large amounts of melanin in their skin, which means they were very dark skinned.

Dr. Charles S. Finch III, M.D. says in his book Echoes of the Old Darkland, on pgs 5, & 32,

"We know from the fate of albinos all over Africa that unprotected skin (light skin) is subject to grotesque, disfiguring cancers that are soon fatal." "Melanin, the substance that gives the skin a dark brown or black pigment, by absorbing ultraviolet radiation and scattering the ions produced, protects the skin from cancer". So, for Abraham to have come from that part of the world, he had to have been very dark / black-skinned. It is important that we fully identify Israel including their appearance, because so much has been written about these people, but at the same time, so little is actually known about them. I have just highlighted one particular fact about the biblical Israelites. And that fact is: THEY WERE A BLACK SKINNED PEOPLE, but this one fact alone does not fully identify who the true children of Israel are today. There are millions upon millions of black skinned people, and many "black" nations. The Hebrews were just one black skinned people among many black-skinned nations.

We shall be discussing this very one tribe soon. How CHi Almighty preserved and hid them away from the rest of humanity but with enough clues from the scripture especially from. Deuteronomy 28:15-68 with great emphasis on verses 48,49,68 probably for some shock revelations to the future generations to come!
