The Ultimate Deception is Rooted Deeper than Hollywood 

How has the lie that the Hebrews, Egyptians, and other black-skinned people were European lasted so long?  This deception goes deeper than lying through books and movies.  It’s part of the law of the United States.  

 

A Black Egyptian Classified as White According to U.S. Law

Mostafa Hefny, a black Egyptian immigrant, sued the United States Government in 1997 because they classified him as being white, even though he is obviously black.

Hefny came to the United States in 1978.  While he is a natural born Egyptian, according to the United States Office of Management and Budget Standards for the Classification of Federal Data on Race and Ethnicity, citizens are designated as White if they have “origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, North Africa or the Middle East.”  In other words, no matter how black your skin is, if you come from Egypt and migrate to the U.S. you are by law "white."  This is the same game that has been used by them to classify the ancient Egyptians and Hebrews as white European people.  The great lies continue.

Mostafa Hefny makes his case for the true “blackness” of ancient Egypt and challenges the lies that have deceived the entire world since the 19th century

Put Thy Hand into Thy Bosom:

The Second Sign of Moses Untold by Mainstream Media

Moses, the Israylite, was a black-skinned man who looked like the Egyptians.  To further illustrate this, let's return to the story of Moses in Egypt.  After Moses escaped from Egypt, he lived in Midian with his wife and children for forty years.  At the age of 80, Yah visited Moses in Midian to commission him to lead the Israylites out of Egypt and into the Promised Land. 

 

Exodus 3:7 - And YAH said, I have surely seen the affliction of my people which are in

Egypt, and have heard their cry by reason of their taskmasters; for I know their sorrows;

 

v. 8 - And I am come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians, and to bring them up out of that land unto a good land and a large, unto a land flowing with milk and honey; unto the place of the Canaanites, and the Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites, and the Jebusites.


As Moses agreed to go down to Egypt to tell Pharaoh to let the children of Israyl go, he asked Yah to give him signs so that he could prove to Israyl that it was Yah who sent him.  Yah replied with two signs to Moses.  The first was turning Moses' staff into a serpent.

 

Exodus 4:1 - And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor

hearken unto my voice: for they will say, YAH hath not appeared unto thee.

 

v. 2 - And YAH said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.

 

v. 3 - And he said, Cast it on the ground. And he cast it on the ground, and it became a serpent; and Moses fled from before it.

 

v. 4 - And YAH said unto Moses, Put forth thine hand, and take it by the tail. And he put forth his hand, and caught it, and it became a rod in his hand:

 

v. 5 - That they may believe that YAH of their fathers, the POWER of Abraham, the POWER of Isaac, and the POWER of Jacob, hath appeared unto thee.


The second sign is the most powerful of the two and ironically was not included in the movie, The Ten Commandments (1956 version).  After the staff turned into a serpent Yah told Moses to put his hand into his bosom.  Moses did as he was commanded and when he removed his hand, scripture says it was leprous or white as snow.

 

Exodus 4:6 - And YAH 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.

It’s an established fact that the bible always mentioned leprosy in the context of the skin turning white—not black; but white.

Biblical Non-Hereditary Leprosy: Modern-Day Vitiligo

An Example of How the 2nd Sign of Moses Would Have Looked

"...leprous (or white) as snow"

Leviticus 13:2 - 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 his sons the priests:

 

v. 4 - If the bright spot be WHITE in the skin of his flesh... the priest shall shut up him that hath the plague seven days:

 

v. 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 second and fourth verses, a bright or white spot in the skin is mentioned.  A bright spot means a spot that is lighter than the regular, dark brown or 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 head to toe, the leper is clean.  He has completely changed his color—similar to people with the disease, Vitiligo. 

 

Vitiligo: Non-Hereditary Biblical Leprosy

Vitiligo is the modern term for biblical leprosy.  This disease turns the skin of black people white.  Superstar, Michael Jackson, had this disease.  If Israyl 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)? 

 

DISCLAIMER: What I am presenting is not to disrespect or make a mockery of albinos or those with vitiligo nor to indicate that either are any less of a human being.  I am simply making this point through visual representation. 

Biblical Non-Hereditary Leprosy: Modern-Day Vitiligo

Additional Examples of the 2nd Sign of Moses

"...leprous (or white) as snow"

After Moses put his hand into his bosom and removed it to reveal white skin, Yah told him to put it back into his bosom where it returned to its original color.

 

Exodus 4:7 - And he said, Put thine hand into thy bosom again. And he put his hand into his bosom again; and plucked it out of his bosom, and, behold, it was turned again as his other flesh.

 

The statement, "it turned back as his other flesh," alone proves that his other flesh was not white, but was the opposite of white which is black or dark—the same skin tone as the Egyptians.  Yah was showing Moses His power.  So it was a big deal for Moses to put his hand into his bosom to turn it white.  If Moses looked like Charleston Heston or any other European or “white” man, what would have been the miracle of turning the hand of a “white" man white?

 

Scripture also speaks about leprosy being hereditary.  When this form of leprosy takes place the person is born without any melanin in their skin.  

 

Melanin: The Key Factor in Dark Skin

Melanin is the substance that is responsible for turning our skin dark.  It is a natural substance produced in the body that protects our skin from the harmful rays of the sun.  When a Hebrew was born with hereditary leprosy they would be similar to what we know today as albinos. 

 

Albinism: Hereditary Biblical Leprosy

Albinism is a congenital disorder characterized by the complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes due to the absence or defect of an enzyme involved in the production of melanin.

 

2nd Kings 5:27 - The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed forever. And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.

Biblical Hereditary Leprosy: Modern-Day Albinism

Examples of the Seed of Naaman

"...a leper as white as snow"

Exposé of Why Miriam was Turned White as Snow by Yah

In chapter 11 of the book of Numbers we read about a situation that happened between Moses, his sister, Miriam, and his brother, Aharon.  Moses was one of Yah’s greatest prophets.  His brother and sister were prophets and prophetesses also respectively.  But Moses was seen in greater esteem, which made his siblings a bit of jealous of him.  So they started to speak out against Moses. 

 

One of the things they tried to use against him was his marriage to an Ethiopian woman. Over the years I’ve heard many people state that Miriam and Aharon didn’t want Moses to be with this Ethiopian woman because she was black-skinned.  That is not true.  They spoke against her because she was of another culture.  Both the Hebrews and Ethiopians were black-skinned people.

 

Numbers 12:1 - And Miriam and Aaron spake against Moses because of the Ethiopian woman whom he had married: for he had married an Ethiopian woman.

 

v. 2 - And they said, Hath YAH indeed spoken only by Moses? hath he not spoken also by us? And YAH heard it.

 

Verse two gives us the real reason they spoke against Moses and his wife.  They said, “Have Yah not spoken by us also?”  In other words, "Moses, you are not the only prophet of Yah in our camp."  Yah heard this and it angered Him that they spoke to His servant in that manner.  Yah struck Miriam instantly with leprosy.

 

Numbers 12:7 - My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.

 

v. 8 - With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches;

and the similitude of YAH shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

 

v. 9 - And the anger of YAH was kindled against them; and he departed.

 

v. 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.

 

The Almighty Yah was showing His anger against them.  He was very displeased, and He

needed them to know how angry He really was.  The reason Miriam was stricken and not her brother, Aahron, was possibly because she was the more outspoken of the two.

 

The question is this: If Miriam looked like the average white-skinned woman, what would have been the power of His anger in turning her white?  Why not turn her jet black?

Hollywood's False Portrayal of Miriam

She was black-skinned not white-skinned

If the Israylite, Miriam, had the complexion of these Hollywood portrayals of her, how much whiter could her skin have gotten?  In Yah's anger He turned her pigment white as a form of punishment.  Turning the pigment of a white-skinned person white as punishment, is like grounding your child for doing wrong but then take them out for candy and ice cream.

The True Portrayal of Miriam

She was black-skinned not white-skinned

As history and truth shows us Miriam looked more like these women in physical appearance than the ones portraying her in any Hollywood movie.

But Miriam, the Hebrew-Israylite sister of Moses, was a black-skinned woman.  This is why Yah in His anger turned her white with leprosy.  This was so shocking that Moses' brother, Aahron, repented instantly. 

 

Numbers 12:11 - And Aaron said unto Moses, Alas, my Master, I beseech thee, lay not the sin upon us, wherein we have done foolishly, and wherein we have sinned.

 

v. 12 - Let her not be as one dead, of whom the flesh is half consumed when he cometh out of his mother's womb. 

Shunned as a Leper

The images below are from a news story entitled, Liver Pill Turns Black Man White.  The man pictured to the right, Tekeste Kahsay, from Eretria (near Ethiopia) was stricken with some form of liver disease.  He was given a prescription from his doctors.

 

One of the side effects of this medicine turned his skin from black to white.  The article states that in Mr. Kahsay's homeland he is shunned as a leper (person with leprosy) as white pigment is considered a sign of the disease.

Tekeste Kahsay

More Evidence that the Israylite Nation is Black

For further proof of the appearance of the children of Israyl from the bible, let’s look at Acts.

 

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 Shaul (Paul).

 

Niger - Doesn't it stem from "Nigger?"

The word Niger is a Latin word that means "BLACK."  Many believe Niger is the origin of the derogatory word, "NIGGER."  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-skinned people in biblical times.  Cyrene is also the place where Simon, the man who helped Yahoshua carry the stake 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 perhaps darker than the rest of the prophets and teachers—much like in the "African-American" community.  When one of our brothers or sisters have a skin tone that is darker than the rest, we sometimes give that person a nickname that describes his or her color.  If the person's name is Michael we may refer to him as "Black Mike" or we may call him "Black," even though we are all black-skinned.  He's been given a friendly nick name that describes him.  This is why Simeon was called Niger or black.

 

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 Israyl. 

 

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 UNTO THE HEBREWS ONLY.

 

This was before the apostles' ministries to the Gentiles at large started.  So why were these "black" men there if the Hebrews were a white people?  Simple.  They were Hebrews just like Paul who was also there with them in the church in Antioch.  Remember, Paul was mistaken for a "black" Egyptian.  Niger and Lucius were prophets and teachers, and as scripture shows us, all the prophets and teachers were Hebrew-Israylites.   

 

Proof of Our Appearance by Ancient Romans

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 the following to say about their physical appearance.

 

A Roman historian named Cornelius Tacitus who lived about C.E. 90 said, "Many assert that the Hebrews are an RACE OF ETHIOPIAN ORIGINS."  Tacitus also said that the Hebrews were Egyptians who left Egypt during a disease outbreak.
 

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."  

 

Once again, we have the Hebrews compared to one of HAM’S black-skinned descendants.

An Example of how Simeon & Simon may have looked

Cornelius Tacitus

Roman Historian

Israylites were also Compared to Ethiopians

Israylites as we see are compared to Ham's descendants—predominantly the Egyptians, but also the Ethiopians.

 

Acts 8: 26 - And the angel of YAH spake unto Philip, saying, Arise, and go toward the south...

 

v. 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 Philip to go and JOIN HIMSELF TO THE CHARIOT OF THIS ETHIOPIAN.

 

Verse 30 tells us that Philip heard him reading SCRIPTURE (Hebrew Scripture) about Yahoshua, which he did not understand.

 

In verses 34-36, Philip explains the meaning of the scripture and then preaches Yahoshua to him.  And in verse 38, Philip baptizes (immerses) him.

 

Let’s analyze these verses:

 

1.)  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 Yah stood—making Jerusalem the spiritual home of all Israylites (2nd Chronicles 6:6 - 7:16).

 

Hebrews continued to come 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 to lay siege to it.

 

2.)  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 the scriptures as we do today.  Hebrews, whether abroad or in the land, were the primary owners of the scriptures in those days.

 

​3.)  The Ethiopian was baptized by Philip.  All these facts prove that this Ethiopian was an Israylite.  Look at what Peter said in Acts 10:28:

 

Acts 10:28 - ...Ye 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?
 

Note: The Israylites thought it was unlawful to go to other nations.  This was before Yah showed them they are to teach the Gentiles and others also.

 

Philip didn't even try to argue with the spirit when he was told to go and teach this Ethiopian because the Ethiopian was a Hebrew who lived in Ethiopia, making him what we know as an Ethiopian Hebrew.  As stated previously, it is a known fact that the Ethiopians are a black-skinned people.  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 Ysrayl.

 

The Falasha: Ethiopian Hebrews

Below are pictures of Falasha (Ethiopian Hebrews) who were living in Ethiopia.  Falasha means "immigrant" in the language of the native Agau people of Ethiopia.  It also means "stranger" in Amharic.  This name is considered to be a racial slur to the Ethiopian Hebrews.  They call themselves Beta Yisrael which means "House of Ysrayl" or "Israyl," and until recently lived as a community in Ethiopia.  In fact, they lived there for the past 3,000 years.

 

This is probably where that Hebrew Ethiopian who Philip taught came from.  Beta Ysrayl also claim they are from the tribe of Dan.

 

You can read more about Beta Ysrayl on the Hebrewism of Africa webpage.

An Introduction to the So-Called Jew

So far we have not seen where scripture likens Israyl 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.  These white-skinned Jews make up the majority of the Jews in Israel and in the world.  This is not a racist or "anti-Semitic" statement.  It's only the truth according to scripture. 

 

Captivity in Ancient Babylon - "Our Skin was Black like an Oven"

In the Year 587 B.C.E. (Before the Common Era) the children of Israyl were taken into captivity by the Babylonians.  Ancient Babylon is located in modern Iraq during the siege of Jerusalem by Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon.  At this time the book of Lamentations was written.  It details the captivity and horrors of the siege.

 

Lamentations 5:10 - Our skin was black like an oven because of the terrible famine. 

 

Notice it says that the Israylites' skin was black like an oven (or charcoal black) because of the famine.  When brown or black-skinned people don't eat for a long period of time or get sick, our skin gets darker.  The reason he compares it to an oven is that an oven becomes jet black from the heat after long periods of usage.  In this verse the prophet, Jeremiyah, clearly was describing a black-skinned people. 

 

When white or lighter skinned people get sick or don't eat, they turn pale.  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.  On the other hand, pictures of starving people in Africa, show that their skin turned jet black or darker than its original hue.

Israylite Hairstyles - Locs or Dreadlocks (as worn by Samson)

The ancient Israylites wore their hair in the same styles as their modern descendants: in locs, afros, braids, etc.  Locs or some call them dreadlocks is when the hair locks together and grows. Many Israylites wear their hair in locs.

 

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 Yah, 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.

 

v. 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.

 

Our hair in its natural state is like the wool of a lamb.  If a "black" person does not cut or comb their hair it will eventually lock together.  This is why they are called "LOCS."  When our hair naturally locks, the hair forms giant mats at random all over the head.  Most of the time you will only get 7 or 8 locs just as it says Samson had.  Samson NEVER CUT HIS HAIR.  He let it grow and it was left "unkempt" and it grew into locs just as the Jamaican brothers do their hair.

 

If Samson, the Israylite, was a white-skinned person with "white" hair texture, his hair would have grown straight and long, not lock together.  

 

The scripture says he had seven locs.  It is very rare for a white person to get locs naturally.  The scriptures are showing us that Samson, the Israylite, had a woolly hair texture which, means he was a black-skinned man.

According to scripture, Actor Nonso Anozie (pictured above left), is a more accurate portrayal of the strong Hebrew-Israylite man.  However, Actor Aaron Eckhart (pictured above right), is another Hollywood lie contributing to why many believe this Gentile is an accurate representation.  This cannot be according to the truth.  Notice his hair.  WHERE ARE THE 7 LOCS?  WHERE IS HIS BEARD?  Remember, Samson was not to bring a razor upon his head including his face. 

Songs of Songs / Songs of Solomon 5:11 - His head is as the most fine gold, his LOCKS are bushy, and black as a raven.

 

When our hair locks together naturally it also gets very bushy from the new hair growth underneath.

Proof that Abraham was Black

All of the preceding information is sufficient proof that the ancient Israylites were a black-skinned nation.  Let's go a step further and prove that they were a black-skinned people since the beginning of their history starting with Abraham.

 

Abraham is the father of the Hebrew Israylite nation.  He was the first to be called Hebrew (Genesis 14:13).  He came from Ur of the Chaldeans (Genesis 11:31), which is in the country of Iraq today.

 

Godfrey Higgins, an English antiquarian, says, "The Chaldeans were originally Negroes."

 

Professor Rudolph Windsor is in total agreement with this which is stated 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 is 125 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's father, Terah, was a relative of Nimrod.  

He was a merchant who sold idols in the city of Ur.  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, again, in that region the average temperature was 125 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 (pp. 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 ultra violet 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 very dark or black skin.
 

NOTE:  I have a relative in the United States Army.  He just fought in the Iraqi war.  He was stationed in Iraq around the area where Abraham was from.  I spoke with him after he returned home and he told me about the sights of the land.  The first thing he spoke about was the heat.  

He said it’s 125 degrees average.  He mentioned that some of the white soldiers were being burned so badly by the sun with sun burns that they could hardly walk.  He said they had to have special coverings sometimes.  But the thing that struck me, was he said, "The natives of the land were so black that they looked like us (African-Americans)."  In fact he went on to say that he "thought they were us." 

 

The people from the Iraqi town of Basra are black-skinned and look like African-Americans.  They are Hebrews who were brought to the Iraqi city of Basra during the Muslim slave trade which is still in operation today.

Elamite Warriors

Above are images taken from a temple in Babylon of Elamite warriors.  Elam was located in the same region as Ur.  These Elamites are also descendants of Shem just as the Israylites.  As you can see they were black.

 

Genesis 10:22 - The children of Shem; Elam, and Asshur, and Arphaxad, and Lud, and Aram.

 

Addressing the Argument that Hebrews are no Longer Black

Some will try to make the argument that if the original Hebrews were "black" they didn't remain that way because the Hebrews mixed with many different people.

 

True, the Hebrews did some mixing with others due to the many captivities they suffered.  But that did not change the physical makeup of ancient Israyl.  Because the Hebrews were black-skinned people their genes would have carried the dominant trait.


Black hair + dark eyes + dark skin = dominant traits

Light hair + light eyes + light skin = recessive traits

 

The recessive can come from the dominant, but the dominant cannot come from the recessive.  In other words, the lighter one can come from the darker one, but the darker cannot come from the lighter.  This is a scientific fact.  So if the Hebrews mixed with other people of lighter hues the offspring would have come out looking like Hebrews with a lighter hue than the Hebrew parent.

If they mixed with others of the same or darker hues the offspring would have continued to look like the Hebrew Israylites.                                                                                                 

 

This is why the Egyptians ordered the Hebrew males to be killed and not the female; because the Egyptian males could impregnate the Hebrew females to produce offspring that were still black-skinned and still possessing the physical characteristics of the Egyptians.  Remember there were no physical differences between the Hebrews and the Egyptians.

 

African-Americans have mixed seed with the various racial groups of the Americas for nearly 400 years, but we are still known as a black-skinned people or race.  We have mixed with various European, Indian, and Hispanic racial groups, yet our racial makeup has remained unchanged. One of the reasons for this is that our genes carry dominant traits.

 

Consider for a moment the children of mixed parents—one black parent and one white.  Nine times out of ten the child will have more traits of the black-skinned parent than of the white-skinned one.  The hair texture, skin color, and facial features of the offspring will be closer to that of the "black" parent.  Sometimes it's impossible to even tell that the offspring is of mixed parentage because the child looks like he was conceived by two black parents.


A few examples are actresses, Halle Berry and Thandie Newton, U.S.A. President Barak Obama, rock singer, Lenny Kravit, and pro golfer, Tiger Woods.
 

All are of mixed heritage with both black and white-skinned parents.  However, they look no different from any other full blooded "black" person you might see walking down the street.  This is how it was with ancient Israyl.


Note: Israyl did not mix TOO MUCH because of their spiritual beliefs as evident in the story of Moses (Numbers 12) and also with Peter (Acts 10).   

The scriptures show without a doubt in both the Old and New Testament times that Israyl was a black-skinned people.

 

We showed the historical and archaeological evidence that the Egyptians were a black-skinned people.  We showed the scriptural evidence that ancient Israyl looked the same in physical appearance as those ancient Egyptians and Ethiopians.

Again, the fact that Israyl was a "black" people does not fully identify who they were and still are today.  We must return to the scriptures and history for more information, and make the major connection to show the modern descendants of those biblical Israylites.
