Jesus was a middle eastern Jew who walked a lot outside in the sun. Some groups WANT Jesus to be a different skin color though and work very hard to find verses that support their desired skin tone. I don't believe the motivations behind this are sound and I think if Jesus was here in front of us He would condemn that and question their motives. It's as if people are fighting over this trying to score points for their own 'team'. That's opposite of what Jesus taught. Galatians 3:28 God bless...
I read an article about the Gentile Ashkenazim Khazar's in the Times of Israel 12 yrs ago. Mass conversions. I always wondered why my Jewish friends growing up had blond hair and blue eyes. It seems like a group of Europeans supplanted the antiquity. Now I see why they fear being surrounded on all sides. It's always a mess. May God do his will to wipe the tears away.
Jesus IS Jewish. At the time of His presence on the earth, the average Jewish man in Israel could be described as having black hair, olive skin, and shorter than the average American today. He did not stand out of the crowd and would have been considered very common.
Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Of course He looks different today.
Rev 1:13-15 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
Jesus was Jewish.when he walked down here.
HERE'S JESUS TALKING TO THE SAMARITAN WOMAN AT THE WELL.
John 4:22. Ye worship ye know not what: "WE" know what "WE" worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
GOD BLESS.
It's such a sad movement, and I agree a bad motive.
Jesus was Semitic (Shem), with color and tone similar to their Arab cousins
Today's Jews are Ashkenazi ( Genesis 10:2-3) they are 7th century Khazar converts of Japheth. ( Revelation 2:9)
( Genesis 9:27) God shall enlarge Japheth, and he shall dwell in the tents of Shem; and Canaan shall be his servant.
Sounds like Canaan will be a slave to his two brothers ( Isaiah 14:1-2)
Isa 53:2 For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
Of course He looks different today.
Rev 1:13-15 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle.His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
God bless
