<< Exodus 20: <3> Thou shalt have no other gods before me.
<4> Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any
thing that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water
under the earth: <5> thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for
I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the father upon the
children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate me; <6> and
showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my
commandments.
Herodotus, an ancient historian, described exactly what the ancient Egyptians and Hebrews looked
like, which he witnessed with his own eyes. Herodotus, who visited Egypt about 457 BC, says in
Book II:
[The Nubians, the Egyptians, and the Ethiopians have broad noses, thick lips, woolly
hair, and they are burnt of skin.]

Let’s examine some principle verses in the 1611 translation of the original Bible which confirm the fact that
the Israelites were a non-Caucasian people of Asiatic descent. Please be aware that many of the new versions
and translations of the Bible have maliciously mistranslated the verses where the prophets are describing the
complexion of the Israelites! If the Bible you're using translates the following verses differently, that
translation is false. Of all the English translations, the King James 1611 translation is so far the most accurate
I've seen. The 1611 version is the closest translation to the original Hebrew Bible. Use that version only,
unless you can understand the original Hebrew. Do not waste your time reading those so-called new
translations of the Bible. They are false.
Directly and indirectly, the following verses reveal the visual appearance of the Biblical Israelites:
<< Acts 21:38, 39 >> [And as Paul was to be led into the castle, he said unto the chief
captain, May I speak unto thee? Who said, canst thou speak Greek? (Paul did not look
European: Paul was of a dark complexion) ...Art not thou that Egyptian (African),
which before these days madest an uproar, and leddest out into the wilderness four
thousand men that were murderers? But Paul said, I am a man which am a Jew.]
<< Amos 9:7 >> [Are ye not as the children of the Ethiopians unto me, Oh house of
Israel.]
Paul and all of the disciples were Asiatic in appearance, as were the original Egyptians and
Ethiopians. They did not look like Greeks, Romans, and Germans. That is why the centurion captain asked
Paul if he was an Egyptian.
All of the nations descended from Noah. According to the tenth chapter of Genesis, Noah had three
sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham is the father of the Africans. Therefore, Ham could not have been a
Caucasian man. Japheth was the father of the Asian. Therefore, Japheth had to be an Asiatic man, like his
brother Ham. Shem was the father of the Middle Easterners, the Indians of India. In reality we are all one
family upon the earth, with common ancestors! The nations of antiquity were all of the Asiatic type. If all
three of Noah's sons gave birth to people of color, Noah himself must have been of the Asiatic type also, and
going all the way back to Adam.
The skin color of Christ is described as being dark: as if it was burned in a furnace.
<< Revelation 1:14,15 >> [His head and his hairs were white like wool, white as snow
(Christ suffered a lot, and went gray early in life), and his eyes were as a flame of fire
(reddish), and his feet like unto fine brass as if they burned in a furnace!]
Brass is already brown, like a doorknob; anything burned has to get very dark from
oxidation. And Christ's feet were the same color as the rest of his body: dark brass!
