Reading the Bible in greek it is obvious that the scripture is refered to Simeon's color.
The term "niger" is the archaic English form of what in modern times is written with double g's and is called the N-word, an offensive term. It was not offensive in ancient times though. It was used by Greco-Romans to indentify the Black people. The word actually means Black in its Latin and Greek forms. A long time later during the slavory times it was used in English in an offensive way, and stayed like this till nowadays.
Yes Moses' wife was an Ethiopian, a Black woman.
Yes that treasurer of the Queen Cadace of Ethiopians in Acts 8 was a Black man, like Queen Candace herself.
And some info. The lands that the ancients called Aethiopia or Ethiopia (also Abyssinia and Nubia) stretched from modern South Egypt to modern Ethiopia ( including today's Sudan). The Ethiopian church is an ancient church. It seems brother Philip the Evangelist did a good work under the guidance of the Holly Spirit. This church is one of the very few that is not a result of European missioneries but originates from the time of Apostles. A few centuries later they were included in the Orthodox branch of Christianity. Today they are called the Unified Orthodox Church.
Men discriminate people by their race, their colour, their nationality, but not God. We are all God's children and brothers and sisters to one another. All of us have one Father, the God, one mother, the universal church, and one country, the Kingdom of God, here and in Heaven.
Why did God not make Jesus Christ's existence explict to us in the beginning? A lot of people are finding it difficult to belive that Jesus christ was In existence.
In the book of Genesis, who was God conversing with while he was planning to create man? He said 'let us make man in our own image"
The Israelites saw many awesome evidences of God , they heard His voice in mount Sinai , that had a pillars of cloud that gave them shade during the day and a pillar of fire that gave them warmth and light at night , they were fed manna , they drank water from a rock in the dessert and despite all this , they rebelled and disobeyed and did not trust or believe God . Think of all the miracles Jesus performed . It made no difference to most of the Jews , they killed him . God has revealed Himself openly to the masses in the past and how did they respond ? I believe that God still does reveal Himself today but on a much more personal and intimate level , to us as individual Christians , when He gives us eyes to see Him at work in our own lives and in the world and ears to hear His voice when He says ' here is the way , walk in it ' . Keep your eyes and ears open and you will see and hear Him . Much love in Christ .
How did David repent from his sin so easily? How can one repent and never go back? Oh, if there was someone who could tell me how to change forever....
How did David repent so fast after his sin with Bathsheba? How did he not just go back again and again to such sin? How did he get over it and never do it again? How does someone repent and never commit immoral sin again? Oh, that I knew how to truly repent and change forever...
It's a controversial topic to some but yes, having studied languages 'Niger' does refer to the color black. We're never told that's a reference to Simeon's skin that I'm aware of. That is the origin of the word which ignorant racists turned into something derogative over some 300-years ago.
Black people have always been blessed as all races. Moses married an Ethiopian after the death of the first wife. Ethiopians during that time...were all black and God consented this despite Aaron or Miriam's complaints.
The eunuch which Philip witnesses to in the book of Acts was a black Ethiopian. That Ethiopian eunuch is one of the earliest recorded moments of Salvation by Grace of a Gentile in the New Testament.
One question I have always wondered about and have never got a straight answer to is back in the Bible days God did so many wonderful things right in front of the people but now he does not do that. I know he is doing it all the time but you do not see Him or Jesus doing these things? God Bless You All and this site, it is great! Amen.
Verse 7, is the meat and potaroes of the book of revelation. Now look how verse 7 starts out "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him", this is very important, it's like GOD knew people would take this out of context in future chapters and verses.
Here are some references ( Acts 1:9-11, Rev 1:7, Rev 6:12-17, Rev 7:13&14, Matt 24:29-31, Mark 13:24-27, Luke 21:25-28)
Acts 1:9-11
9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
10 And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel;
11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.
Notice:
"and a cloud received him" and "so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven".
These 2 lineages in Matthew and Luke are based on Joseph being the Father of CHRIST JESUS....Which is not true...Joseph was neva the Father of JESUS....God just used Mary as a vessel to carry the Child...The lamb of God...I Don't think that Jesus was actually of the tribe of Judah..Mary's placenta did not allow her blood to be mingled with the fetus s' Blood .. Acts 20: 28 ....Feed the church of God that has purchased with HIS OWN blood...Not the blood of the tribe of Judah...Nutrients are passed from the fetus to the Mother etc but neva the blood...Google it if ya like
......The early writters cd not believe that a woman a Virgin cd birth God the son so they figured that Joseph MUST BE the father of Jesus and they give us these 2 lineages...Matthew and luke going all the way back to ADAM....But man cd not be involved in this heavenly birth it had to be a Virgin BIRTH elimanating mans corruptible seed altogather...The lamb of God had to be perfect in every way...Is not this the carpenters son ( Joseph ) but he was not the carpenters son..Jesus told Joseph that he must be about HIS fathers business....Not Josephs business.... luke 16 : 41
.....The Angel of the lord told MARY that the H.G. shall over shadow thee and that holy thing that shall be born unto thee shall be the son of God.
David had said its the LORDS doings and is precious in our eyes
Hiya Streetpreacher GBU ....Lemme give ya my thoughts on the bloodline of Christ Jesus....1 thing for sure is all men carried the spot and the stain of Adam ( the curse of Adam ) ...And there was none righteousness no not one...Thus the lamb of God cd not be defiled by this horrible Curse...The lamb of God had to be perfect wihout any stain or spot of man said Isaiah ...Thats y it had to be a Virgin birth..GOD didn't want any man having anything to do with it....It was the Lords doing as David said.
....There are several scriptures that say Christ was of the seed of David according to the flesh ( Mary ) the tribe of Judah ...But a womans placenta does not allow for the blood of the fetus and to be mingled with its mothers blood...During gestation the fetus makes its own blood true story....Thats y Jesus was saying you are from beneath but i am from above.. you are of this world but i am not of this world....But God needed a spotless lamb to dedicate his New COVENANT on Calvary..And this lamb was perfect not coming from the tribe of Judah as some thought...In order for Jesus to be of the tribe of Judah someman from the tribe of Judah wd have to impregnated MARY....But Mary was impregnated by God himself, BY THE SEED of God which is the word of God...Jesus was the living Word made flesh and blood.
.....Jesus asked the Pharisees what think ye of Christ whose son is he...Who is his posterity from.. they replied of Davids seed then Jesus answered if David calls him LORD IN THE SPIRIT how can he be Davids Seed...I.E. IF Davids lord was heavenly how can he be of an earthly seed ( Davids seed )...How can he be of the tribe of Judah ? or from the seed of any man that carries the curse of Adam...Its just as Jesus said he was from the heavens and will go back to heaven the Kingdom of God.
God Sees The Unborn Children - In Reply on Acts 17 - 1 year ago
The Unborn & God
Psalms 139:13
For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb.
Luke 1:31
And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS.
Job 31:15
Did not HE that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
Galatians 1:15
But when it pleased God, who separated me from my mother's womb, and called me by his grace,
Psalms 22:10
I was cast upon Thee from the womb: thou art my God from my mother's belly.
Psalms 22:9
But thou art HE that took me out of the womb: thou didst make me hope when I was upon my mother's breasts.
Psalms 127:3
Lo, children are an heritage of the LORD: and the fruit of the womb is HIS reward.
Exodus 13:2
Sanctify unto me all the firstborn, whatsoever openeth the womb among the children of Israel, both of man and of beast: IT IS MINE.
Ecclesiastes 11:5
As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all.
Jeremiah 1:5
BEFORE I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a PROPHET unto the nations.
There are many more scriptures that prove God has knowledge of PRE-born children. He had a perfect will for their lives. I'm not going to judge. Gods Will can still happen if the child is adopted after birth.
Obviously, Peter, James and John see the kingdom coming at the Mt of Transfiguration. John especially, the Book of Revelation.
Compare all 3 passages of Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:1-9 and Luke 9:26-36.
Remember, Moses had died and God had buried him. Michael the archangel goes to get his body Jude 1:9
Elias (Elijah) was picked up by a chariot of fire 2 Kings 2:11-12.
They are returned by and re-enter a "cloud" where the voice of the Father is heard, Luke 9:34-35. Note the Father must have been in that cloud / chariot.
The clouds and chariots connection is found in Psalm 104:3 The clouds typify the chariots of the LORD which number 20,000 Psalm 68:17.. notice they are "as in Sinai", Moses time in Exodus. Of course the Cloud in Exodus performed as an aircraft / spacecraft as it came down from heaven and then did many aerial maneuvers.
When the second coming happens it is referred to many times as a "day of clouds" and in Isaiah 66:15 it involves "his chariots",
which is a fleet of at least 20,000 - Psalms 68:17.
Moses and Elias represent the Law and the Prophets, which is what Jesus came to fulfill - Luke 24:44 and they "spake of his decease which he should accomplish at Jerusalem" - Luke 9:31
So then, Jesus makes the statement that there be some standing here which shall not taste of death till they see the kingdom of God... refers to the event of The Mt of Transfiguration event.

There are aspects of eternity that humans are ill-equipped to understand. For example, the Bible says a day with the Lord is like a thousand days on earth while a thousand days with the Lord is like a day on earth. We can let the deeper truth of that fact pass right over our heads and miss it if we are not careful. Time means nothing to God.
Enoch was caught up into heaven 5,000 years ago and yet he went straight into the middle of the tribulation as one of the two witnesses to preach this:
Jude 1:14
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints,
I believe those saints that were in Paradise in Jesus' day will be caught up together with living saints in the rapture and go to heaven then.
Adonijah had a history of rebellion against God and treason against Solomon and Isreal. He knew God had selected Solomon to be king yet he set himself up as king instead anyway.
1 Kings 1:5
Then Adonijah the son of Haggith exalted himself, saying, I will be king: and he prepared him chariots and horsemen, and fifty men to run before him.
Solomon showed mercy at first to Adonijah and forgave him but warned him not to show rebellion against the king in the future.
1 Kings 5
51 And it was told Solomon, saying, Behold, Adonijah feareth king Solomon: for, lo, he hath caught hold on the horns of the altar, saying, Let king Solomon swear unto me today that he will not slay his servant with the sword.
52 And Solomon said, If he will shew himself a worthy man, there shall not an hair of him fall to the earth: but if wickedness shall be found in him, he shall die.
53 So king Solomon sent, and they brought him down from the altar. And he came and bowed himself to king Solomon: and Solomon said unto him, Go to thine house.
Adonijah failed to keep the charge given him by Solomon and was put to death accordingly for claiming he should have been king instead of Solomon.
1 Kings 2
13 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came to Bathsheba the mother of Solomon. And she said, Comest thou peaceably? And he said, Peaceably.
14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say unto thee. And she said, Say on.
15 And he said, Thou knowest that the kingdom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces on me, that I should reign: howbeit the kingdom is turned about, and is become my brother's: for it was his from the Lord.
16 And now I ask one petition of thee, deny me not. And she said unto him, Say on.
17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
Nelson Walters has a teaching with maps on his youtube channel. There's a whole lot of confusion on it.
I was less confused when I searched MAHDI. Don't linger there ok? Or "like" anything. Why am I banned, and YouTube allows them to blaspheme God and America?
We need to know the depth of the hatred and not be deceived. The tree is known by its fruit.
Some Palestinians are saved and looking for Jesus. That's why I said what I did about the fruit.
"Saul, Saul" (by Jesus). Jesus asked for Paul to follow Him.
It was typical for the Jews of that time to have two names: one Hebrew, the other Latin or Greek. Jesus called him "Saul, Saul" in "the Hebrew tongue" in the Acts of the Apostles, when he had the vision which led to his conversion on the road to Damascus.
What is the full meaning of Paul?
It derives from the Roman family name Paulus or Paullus, from the Latin adjective meaning "small" or "humble". He was short in stature, but he was tall in scripture. He had the education of a Pharisee; also educated as a Roman citizen.
"To whom much is forgiven, much is required". We see this in Paul's Ministry. Jesus asked for him.
2-9. he cried against the altar-which is put for the whole system of worship organized in Israel.
Behold, a child shall be born Josiah by name-This is one of the most remarkable prophecies recorded in the Scriptures; and, in its clearness, circumstantial minuteness, and exact prediction of an event that took place three hundred sixty years later, it stands in striking contrast to the obscure and ambiguous oracles of the heathen. Being publicly uttered, it must have been well known to the people; and every Jew who lived at the accomplishment of the event must have been convinced of the truth of a religion connected with such a prophecy as this. A present sign was given of the remote event predicted, in a visible fissure being miraculously made on the altar. Incensed at the man's license of speech, Jeroboam stretched out his hand and ordered his attendants to seize the bold intruder. That moment the king's arm became stiff and motionless, and the altar split asunder, so that the fire and ashes fell on the floor. Overawed by the effects of his impiety, Jeroboam besought the prophet's prayer. His request was acceded to, and the hand was restored to its healthy state. Jeroboam was artful, and invited the prophet to the royal table, not to do him honor or show his gratitude for the restoration of his hand, but to win, by his courtesy and liberal hospitality, a person whom he could not crush by his power. But the prophet informed him of a divine injunction expressly prohibiting him from all social intercourse with any in the place, as well as from returning the same way. The prohibition not to eat or drink in Beth-el was because all the people had become apostates from the true religion, and the reason he was not allowed to return the same way was lest he should be recognized by any whom he had seen in going.

Reading the Bible in greek it is obvious that the scripture is refered to Simeon's color.
The term "niger" is the archaic English form of what in modern times is written with double g's and is called the N-word, an offensive term. It was not offensive in ancient times though. It was used by Greco-Romans to indentify the Black people. The word actually means Black in its Latin and Greek forms. A long time later during the slavory times it was used in English in an offensive way, and stayed like this till nowadays.
Yes Moses' wife was an Ethiopian, a Black woman.
Yes that treasurer of the Queen Cadace of Ethiopians in Acts 8 was a Black man, like Queen Candace herself.
And some info. The lands that the ancients called Aethiopia or Ethiopia (also Abyssinia and Nubia) stretched from modern South Egypt to modern Ethiopia ( including today's Sudan). The Ethiopian church is an ancient church. It seems brother Philip the Evangelist did a good work under the guidance of the Holly Spirit. This church is one of the very few that is not a result of European missioneries but originates from the time of Apostles. A few centuries later they were included in the Orthodox branch of Christianity. Today they are called the Unified Orthodox Church.
Men discriminate people by their race, their colour, their nationality, but not God. We are all God's children and brothers and sisters to one another. All of us have one Father, the God, one mother, the universal church, and one country, the Kingdom of God, here and in Heaven.
GBU
Please read: Matthew 24, Matthew 7, Matthew 25:31-46,
Hopefully these are helpful, please read the Bible & study, so no-one can lead you astray.
In the book of Genesis, who was God conversing with while he was planning to create man? He said 'let us make man in our own image"
Also where does it say in the Bible about once saved always saved.
Black people have always been blessed as all races. Moses married an Ethiopian after the death of the first wife. Ethiopians during that time...were all black and God consented this despite Aaron or Miriam's complaints.
The eunuch which Philip witnesses to in the book of Acts was a black Ethiopian. That Ethiopian eunuch is one of the earliest recorded moments of Salvation by Grace of a Gentile in the New Testament.
Just thought I'd add that...
"For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."
My wife & family sometimes use this verse when opening up a family prayer too.
Here are some references ( Acts 1:9-11, Rev 1:7, Rev 6:12-17, Rev 7:13&14, Matt 24:29-31, Mark 13:24-27, Luke 21:25-28)

Notice:

17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solomon the king, (for he will not say thee nay,) that he give me Abishag the Shunammite to wife.
The sons of God were likely believers who saw unsaved women and wed them in violation of the will of God. This is what happened in Numbers 25.
I just wanted to know, how can I do a preaching about army?
I was less confused when I searched MAHDI. Don't linger there ok? Or "like" anything. Why am I banned, and YouTube allows them to blaspheme God and America?
