Black History In The Bible0 CommentsPaintings & Other Images, The EvidenceJesus, Mary

The Black Virgin of Montserrat is found in Catalonia, Spain. Please Take A Moment To Share If you enjoyed this study, please take a moment to share it. Thanks in advance.

Black History In The Bible0 CommentsPaintings & Other Images, The Evidence1000s, David

Part of the confusion surrounding the word "ruddy" is that what is being taught has it's origins in British Israelism. Ruddy has never referred to blushing white skin or sunburned skin. It has always been used to refer to reddish brown animals and people. "And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this is he." - 1 Samuel 16:12 Ruddy King David and His Men Suggested Reading King David: The Black Hebrew With Ruddy Skin and Red HairRuddy:…

The Elamites present a huge problem for those that teach Shem's descendants weren't black. They painted themselves on the walls of Susa, and they painted themselves as black people.

The Canaanites were also known as the Phoenicians. While we are bombarded with images of white Canaanites, their art tells a different story. The art shows them with black faces, which also matches the Biblical teaching that Ham's descendants were black. Phoenicians - Canaanites "And the sons of Noah, that went forth of the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth: and Ham is the father of Canaan." - Genesis 9:18 Please Take A Moment To Share If you enjoyed this study, please take a moment to share it.
