Darius I: A Black Medo-Persian King In The Bible

Paintings & Other Images, The Evidence
When we think of Persians, we often think of what present day Persians look like when we considered how they looked in the past. Here's what they look like today: Much like history, the entire area known as the "Middle East" has been whitewashed and appropriated. Persia is no exception. In the Bible, Darius I aka Darius The Great is mentioned in the following books: Ezra Nehemiah Daniel Haggai Zechariah When Darius is depicted in scholarly text or on television, he's often shown not as he is, but as he was imagined by a Greek painter in 1888: What Darius The Great Actually Looked Like It has become the norm that the further back we dig into the past, the darker the people become, especially in the Middle East.

The Black Virgin of Montserrat

The Black Virgin of Montserrat

Paintings & Other Images, The Evidence
The Black Virgin of Montserrat is just one of many statues that feature a black Mary holding a black baby Christ.

However, that doesn't seem to make sense when we consider that the statue was once inscribed with the following: Negra Sum Sed Formosa "I am Black But Beautiful." 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 click the button below and share it. Thanks in advance.

King David Had Reddish Brown Skin (Ruddy)

King David Had Reddish Brown Skin (Ruddy)

Paintings & Other Images, The Evidence
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 wasruddy, 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 Suggested Reading King David: The Black Hebrew With Ruddy Skin and Red Hair Ruddy: Reddish Brown Skin Tones In The Bible Please Take A Moment To Share If you enjoyed this study, please take a moment to click the button below and share it.

Elamites: The Black Descendants of Shem

Paintings & Other Images, The Evidence

Evidence of Black Canaanites

Paintings & Other Images, The Evidence
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. "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 click the button below and share it.
