It is claimed that no one knows what Christ looked like in the flesh, neither does it matter since He died for the sins of the world, but what does the Bible, a respected Christian historian who lived during Christ’s time, and early religious icons have to say about His physical appearance will be thoroughly investigated in this article.
CHRIST WAS SEEN BY MANY AFTER HIS RESURRECTION
1st Corinthians {15:3}: For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; {15:4} And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: {15:5} And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: {15:6} After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. {15:7} After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. {15:8} And last of all he was seen of me [Paul] also, as of one born out of due time.
So Christ was seen by hundreds of people when He walked on the earth. He later instructed John to write what he sees about Him in a book as a record for His servants.
THE BIBLICAL DESCRIPTION OF CHRIST JESUS
Revelation {1:1}: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; {1:10} I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet, {1:11} Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book….
{1:12} And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; {1:13} 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. {1:14} His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire.
Daniel the prophet also gave a similar description related to God's - the Ancient of days’ - woolly hair in Daniel {7:9}: “I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of His head like the pure wool: …”
Note the woolly hair in the picture on the left, which is only a depiction based on the Biblical accounts, and compare it to the sheep’s wool on the right. The dictionaries of 1916 defined "woolly hair" as meaning "a Negro", but that definition has since been removed from modern dictionaries to hide the fact that if Jesus is recorded as having woolly hair, then He must be a Negro.
The only people on earth who have this woolly, kinky, nappy hair are those of the Black Race whose hair in its natural state resembles the wool of a lamb.
John also gives us a description of the Most High as well in Revelation 4:3. "And He that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a sardine stone:.."
On the left are sardine stones and on the right are jasper stones, both ruddy in colour.
Daniel also described the colour of Christ’s flesh in chapter {10:5-6}. “Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz: {10:6} His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass”.
In this verse Daniel uses the word colour in describing Christ’s arms and feet which disproves those claims that the word colour is not used in the Bible to describe Christ. A similar description is also recorded by John in Revelation {1:15}: “…And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace”.
John, on looking at Christ’s feet, compared their colour to that of fine brass when burnt in a furnace. This proves that He is Black. Other disinformation being circulated is that Christ was Middle Eastern and olive skinned, but since olives (left image), come in green, brown, dark red, purple, or dark black, this line of reasoning would suggest that Christ may have been green in complexion in order to avoid accepting the biblical description of Him being Black, like the olive colour on the right corner of the left image.
Burnt bronze could only be used to describe a colour range from a very dark brown to a jet Black complexion, so those who believe that Christ looked “Middle Eastern” and had an olive cream coloured skin tone are deliberately denying the Biblical description of Christ which clearly states that He has skin the colour of burnt brass. In fact, when referring to Black skinned people, very often the olive colour is used since it describes the darkest complexion which borders on jet Black similar to this man from the Sudan, a country with many olive skinned people.
The Suez Canal is an artificial waterway built in Egypt between 1859 and 1869 that deliberately cut off Israel from Egypt (Afrika). The term “Middle East” was invented during those years (1850’s), only becoming popular around 1902, so when anyone thinks of Israel, Black Afrika no longer comes to mind but a programmed mental image of an area with a non-Black population because of this newly invented geographic term, “Middle East.”
Revelation {2:18}: “...These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass”.
This is a 16th century depiction of the Vision of John the Divine, located at Patmos, Monastery of St. John.
Ezekiel {40:3}: "And he brought me thither, and, behold, [there was] a man, whose appearance was like the appearance of brass. {43:2} And, behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the way of the east: and his voice [was] like a noise of many waters: and the earth shined with his glory".
Brass is brown in colour, and when it is burnt will become even darker but certainly not white like the white Christ that is portrayed in the mainstream media. Daniel and John found this information about Christ to be of such great importance that they left a record of it in the scriptures for our benefit, yet it is rejected and false doctrines and lies are accepted instead.
The colour of Christ therefore matters, otherwise it would not have been mentioned in the bible to enlighten His lost sheep, and neither would the Caucasian have gone to such great lengths to change His skin tone from Black to white so it would match their likeness. Christ’s image would have been left unchanged so the world would know the truth concerning Him and the patriarchs of the Bible. So those who argue that Christ’s colour is not important are caught up in a mass suppression of the truth as it relates to ancient history.
BELIEVE ON CHRIST AS THE SCRIPTURES HAVE SAID
1st John {4:1} warns: "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world. {4:2} Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God. {4:3} And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist".
Christ also made a very important statement in John {7:38}: "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water".
It is clear that those actors who play the role of Christ in Hollywood movies do not represent a true image of Christ as it is recorded in the scriptures, because they do not have the woolly hair or the Black skin colour as described.
It is also evident that for centuries the world has not believed on Christ as the scriptures have said, choosing instead to believe the false doctrines that were created by the Europeans in an attempt to deceive the masses.
WARNINGS OF DECEPTIONS CONCERNING FALSE CHRIST
A warning regarding the many false Christs who would arise is found in Matthew {24:4-5} , so there is no excuse for being uninformed.
“And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many”.
2nd Thessalonians {2:10}: "And with all deceivableness of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. {2:11} And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: {2:12} That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.
The history of the Israelites is well documented in the Bible which has been in circulation for many years; still the world has been deceived by what the church leaders have been preaching. Therefore, what Christ has warned us against was either missed, ignored, or not believed. The slave master was responsible for introducing this new religion based on a white Jesus. He also came in His name proclaiming, “I am the Christ” while circulating many false doctrines, with the sole purpose of dominating the world through this great deception.
Matthew {24:23-24} : forewarns us even further. “Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ or there, believe it not. For there shall arise false Christs and false prophets”.
In order to identify a false Christ it is necessary to know what the real Christ looks like as has been recorded in Revelations {1:14-15} and Daniel {10:5-6}. These passages describe the real Christ as having woolly hair and a skin tone that is comparable to the colour of burnt brass, yet in homes and churches are proudly displayed these false images featuring a straight haired, effeminate white man posing as Christ. The world must be made aware that this is the image of Cesare Borgia, the son of Pope Alexander VI, and not Christ.
2nd Corinthians {11:3} : "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ. {11:4} For if he that cometh preacheth another Jesus, whom we have not preached or if ye receive another spirit, which ye have not received, or another gospel, which ye have not accepted, ye might well bear with him".
Paul did not want us to be deceived in the same way that Eve was deceived by the serpent, but expected us to at least have a basic understanding of Christ, but in the end we were still easily led astray. Contrary to what the scriptures have revealed which described Christ as having woolly hair and flesh the colour of burnt brass, the Europeans were responsible for teaching another Jesus with straight hair and white skin. The apostles never taught any doctrine that Christ, His disciples, or the patriarchs of the Bible were white people.
OTHER UNKNOWN GODS WILL BE SERVED DURING SLAVERY
Revelation {13:7} : "And it was given unto him to make war with the saints, and to overcome them: and power was given him over all kindreds, and tongues, and nations".
The “him” spoken of here alludes to America, England, Portugal, Spain, and France, those European countries which made war against the remnant of Israel, overcoming them through enslavement and brutality because “he” was given the power to have dominion over the earth.
Deuteronomy {28:15} : "But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: {28:68} And the LORD shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you".
The meaning of Egypt is clarified in Exodus {20:2} : "I am the LORD thy God, which have brought thee out of the land of Egypt, out of the house of bondage [captivity, slavery].
Deuteronomy {28:64}: "And the LORD shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone".
As the Israelites did not listen to God’s warnings they were sent back into slavery and shipped to foreign lands as a punishment, and there under the guise of a new religion, they were forced by their captors to worship a previously unknown white god, and to accept their strange doctrines when they were scattered throughout the four corners of the earth. Prior to the slave period, our ancestors knew nothing about any Caucasian named Jesus Christ because no such individual ever existed.
Revelation {13:8}: "And all that dwell upon the earth shall worship him, whose names are not written in the book of life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world".
The whole world has been deceived into worshipping this European Christ as saviour of the world.
Revelation {13:11} gives a clue as to the time period when the image of this false Christ would be set up on the earth.
"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb and he spake as a dragon. {13:12} And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed".
The first beast alludes to ancient Rome which fell around 193 A.D. but returned to power again during the Renaissance or rebirth period around 1453, when the Europeans fought to destroy the Israelites, overcoming them and taking complete control of the earth through violent means.
Matthew {24:24}: "...and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect".
Revelation {13:13}: "And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men,…"
It is said that fire came down from heaven when the atom bomb was dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II.
Laws were passed which prohibited anyone from teaching the slaves to read and write, because the slave owners were aware that if the captives knew that Christ was Black like them, it would have been difficult to easily subdue them. Unfortunately, the acceptance of this white Jesus has effectively destroyed the self-esteem and pride of Black people, causing them to develop a self-hatred which has been plaguing them for hundreds of years.
Deuteronomy {28:48}: "Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the LORD shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things:"
In order to source food, clothes, water, education, religious training, etc., the captives have to go to their enemies to get these things.
Deuteronomy {28.48} continues…."and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee".
The yoke of iron was only removed from around the necks of the slaves after they were totally destroyed both mentally and spiritually as a people.
Deuteronomy {28:49}: "The LORD shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand".
The symbol of the European nations is the eagle. In the new lands the enslaved Israelites did not understand the languages spoken by those nations from afar such as English, Spanish, French, Dutch, Portuguese, etc., as these were all foreign tongues to them.
Moreover, during slavery the captives were deprived of their Hebrew names and mercilessly whipped into accepting the names of their masters and to adopt foreign nationalities and languages. They were also forbidden from communicating in their Hebrew language and reading their Bible during the time that the fake image of Christ was being established.
Deuteronomy {28:50}: "A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young.."
The elder slaves were forced to pick cotton, tobacco, and reap sugar cane. The little children were also required to pick tobacco and help with the harvesting of the sugar cane.
In addition, babies were used as alligator bait by the slave owners who would bind and place a crying baby near the edge of a river bank to entice an alligator come out from its hiding place and devour the baby. The alligator would then be pulled ashore and killed for its leather which was used to manufacture shoes, purses, wallets, belts, and other leather goods.
Revelation {13:14}: "And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. {13:15} And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed".
These images came to life through Hollywood movies, television, etc.
CESARE BORGIA POSES AS JESUS CHRIST
During the Renaissance period when the Europeans had conquered the Israelite Moors and seized power through violent means, they began promoting their own culture and introduced the image of Cesare Borgia to the world as the new image of Christ, with deadly consequences for those who refused to accept and worship this newly invented Christ.
When the Israelite slaves were brought into the new world they were threatened with death if they did not worship this strange white god, so whoever refused to pay homage to this foreign god and religion were slaughtered like animals. History bears witness to the millions that were killed for not worshipping this new white image of Christ, as Rome and Spain dispatched people like Christopher Columbus, Hernan Cortes, Ponce De Leon, and Amerigo Vespucci with armies to murder, enslave, and indoctrinate the Israelite people into worshipping this newly created European god.
THE BEGINNING OF THE WHITE DECEPTION AND THE REAL REASON FOR CONVERTING AFRIKANS
Our ancestors were tied to The Whipping Post where they were flogged until they confessed their love and acceptance for the new white Christ.
The slave masters and colonizers were not seeking to save the souls of Afrikans when they were converting them against their will to Christianity, because they were of the belief that Black people had no souls, besides, according to them, heaven was reserved only for white people. Therefore, the real reason for forcing Christianity on Black people was to implant and disseminate the theory of a white God into their minds.
In other words, when the slaves were being forced to worship a white Jesus as the son of God through Christianity, the reasoning behind it was that if the son of God were white, then God His father, also had to be white. This mental image of a white God would then trigger an intense "adoration for whiteness" deep within the subconscious minds of Black people, which would then be subconsciously converted to an "idolization of the white race" as godly and superior to all other “races.” This brainwashing was designed to operate at the subconscious level without anyone being aware, which resulted in the creation of slaves that were more submissive, subservient, obedient, and devoted to their white oppressors, and also made it easier for Afrika to be colonized .
Unfortunately, after many generations, the after-effects of this indoctrination process implemented almost 400 years ago have never been corrected nor purged from the consciousness, so it continues to exist in the minds of millions of Black people today. This is the main reason why Black churches continue to stubbornly embellish their walls with false images of white deities only.
The type of Christianity being practiced today by Black Christians is not the same belief system that was practiced in ancient North Afrika prior to 325 A.D. That original Afrikan belief model was taken over by the Romans who "re-created and repackaged it into the current counterfeit, corrupt version of itself". Emperor Constantine had set out to modernize that ancient Afrikan belief system in order to make it more compatible with the prevailing pagan beliefs of the Romans.
In so doing, the Romans completely butchered the original Afrikan belief system and also removed 18 books from the original Bible because they were not compatible with the new concepts being fabricated.
Many Afrikan supporters of the original belief system who were against the counterfeit modifications were put to death because of their unyielding stance.
It is this latter modification of the Roman version of Christianity and not the original Afrikan belief system that was forced down the throats of Afrikan people during slavery in the U.S.A., Great Britain, Latin America, the Caribbean, and the colonized territories in Afrika.
It is this re-created, redesigned, rewritten, revised religious system developed by Emperor Constantine that is presently being practiced by Black people all over the world today.
But from the very beginning, Black people always had a deep connection with their Creator, the Most High God, which is far older than Judaism, Hinduism, Buddhism, Islam, and Christianity.
EUROPEANS BEGAN PAINTING THEMSELVES AS BIBLICAL CHARACTERS
Job {9:24}: "The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?"
Romans {1:22-23}: "Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools, And changed the glory of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and creeping things".
1st Maccabees {3:48}: “And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images”.
These verses explain that God allowed the earth to be handed over to the wicked who quickly embarked on a mission to erase the real faces of the judges. This got started during the Renaissance period when the images of the Black Israelites were altered to look white. The insertion of these misleading images into the Bible, religious books, and other publications became so popular that it quickly became the accepted practice, but prior to the Renaissance period, there were no paintings of any Caucasian Christ anywhere.
CESARE BORGIA USED AS THE MODEL TO CREATE FALSE IMAGES OF CHRIST
This is the early sketch of Cesare Borgia which was used as the model for creating the false images of Christ.
On a page inside the book entitled “Russian Icons”, this picture is displayed which shows an artist unashamedly repainting the faces of the judges by lightening their skin tones so as to transform them into the likeness of the white man.
During the Renaissance or Rebirth period, which was a cultural movement that began in Italy around the 1300’s, many Jesuit priests were hired to travel throughout Europe to paint Caucasian images to replace the original Black paintings that were in existence for centuries. Pope Alexander V1 of Rome had also commissioned Leonard Da Vinci to repaint all the Biblical characters as Caucasians.
In 1508 Pope Julius 2nd commissioned Michelangelo Buonarroti to decorate the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, allowing him to interpret and portray as white people, the creation of man and other historical events of the Old Testament preceding Christ’s birth.
The Jehovah’s Witnesses also published a book entitled
“The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived” which continued to promote this false image of a white Christ throughout its pages. For centuries these corrupt images have caused Black people to hate themselves, because they began to accept and believe that Christ was white and not Black like them.
Even today most people still continue to accept this lie. It should be recognized that these false images have been playing a pivotal role because they continue to linger in the subconscious minds of Black people causing their perception to be destroyed, which in turn not only leads to a deep, internalised self-hatred, but are also responsible for creating that ingrained inferiority complex.
These false images were never part of the Holy Bible, so it goes to show that it was the Caucasian who was racist from the beginning, because he despised the true biblical image of Christ and His people so much that he retouched and replaced it with his own likeness.
This act in itself proves that colour does matter, but when Black people attempt to set the record straight and point out the lies and deception being circulated, they are the ones labelled as racists.
AN EARLY CHRISTIAN HISTORIAN DESCRIBES CHRIST
The ancient Greeks and Romans kept written records of what they saw, and one of these historical records which is kept in the Vatican, includes a detailed physical description of Christ as witnessed by a first century Roman-Jewish scholar and historian named Titus Flavius Josephus, whose works have been held in high esteem by Christians throughout history.
Halōsis ii.174. “At that time also there appeared a certain man of magic power … if it be meet to call him a man, [whose name is Jesus], whom [certain] Greeks call a son of [a] God, but his disciples [call] the true prophet who is supposed to have raised dead persons and to have cured all diseases. Both his nature and his form were human, for he was a man of simple appearance, mature age, black-skinned, short growth, three cubits tall, hunchbacked, prognathous (lit. ‘with a long face’ [macroprosopos]), a long nose, eyebrows meeting above the nose, that the spectators could take fright,… with scanty [curly](kinky) hair, but having a line in the middle of the head after the fashion of the Nazaraeans, with an undeveloped beard”.
This description of a short, Black-skinned Jesus with tight, kinky hair and an undeveloped beard bears no similarity to the handsome white Jesus that is portrayed by the Roman Catholics and other Christian churches as a straight haired, fully bearded saviour. However, this Roman description of Jesus is in harmony with the Biblical record left by the prophet Isaiah in chapter {53:1-3}, that highlights an often overlooked description of the physical appearance of Christ.
"Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed? {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. {53:3} He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not".
Isaiah prophesied that Jesus would have no external features or special appeal that would be attractive to people, a description which agrees with the early Christian historian Flavius Josephus. This again confirms that the images which portray Christ as a handsome Caucasian do not match the description of Christ found in the biblical or ancient texts anywhere.
LEONARDO DA VINCI AND MICHELANGELO COMPETE TO CREATE THE NEW IMAGE OF CHRIST
This global deception came into existence around 1492 during the Renaissance period, when there was a contest between Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo Buonarroti to determine who could make the greatest impression on king Rodrigo Borgia (Pope Alexander VI) by creating an image of his son Cesare Borgia, to be used as the new global image of Christ in an effort to keep the Israelite captives dormant so the Roman empire could maintain a tight grip on its ruler ship.
It is a well-known fact that Pope Alexander VI, (Rodrigo Borgia), loved his favourite son Cesare Borgia [left] so much that he wanted a portrait of him produced to replace the original Black images of Christ.
Leonardo Da Vinci, who won the contest, was commissioned by this Roman Pope to create the new model image of Christ to pass Him off as European [right].
Therefore, with the blessing of the Catholic Church, Cesare’s picture was marketed and popularized as Jesus Christ throughout the World. The Catholic Church has therefore been deceiving the entire world into believing that this is the image of Christ when in fact it is Cesare Borgia, the beloved son of Pope Alexander VI, who was considered as the most handsome man in Italy.
A BRIEF HISTORY OF CESARE BORGIA - THE NEW FACE OF CHRIST
The false image of Christ being worshipped today [right] is that of Cesare Borgia, a homosexual, Italian mobster, and mass murderer [left], who was used as the model to create the ever popular white Messiah which Christians everywhere worship as God. Interestingly, when Leonardo da Vinci was in Cesare Borgia's service as a military architect and engineer between 1502 and 1503 they became lovers, so as a means of expressing his love for Cesare, Leonardo painted numerous portraits of him. Cesare, renowned for the murder of his political rivals, was also known for having a sexual relationship with his sister Lucrezia Borgia, and was said to have murdered his brother Giovanni Juan Borgia, yet this was the very man whose picture the Catholic Church approved of and endorsed to be used, exported and circulated as the image of Jesus the Christ to the world.
THE RENAISSANCE PERIOD AND THE FINE ARTS
The Renaissance period, which marked the triumph of the Caucasian coming out of captivity and rising to power, signalled the end of the Reign of the
Dark Ages (Races), a period when the Israelites ruled throughout all of Europe. The growth of the Renaissance quickly expanded, and Christianity was introduced to the world, which quickly led to the total destruction of Black culture in Europe. During this period, the repainting of major historical figures from Black to white began in earnest, giving rise to the many fake paintings coming into circulation that portrayed Mary and Jesus as white.
This was a desperate attempt to whitewash the preceding Black rulers out of history and promote a racist structure of white supremacy in its place. Most of the latter paintings of Christ are based on the images of Cesare Borgia, which have influenced the majority of the portraits of Christ produced from that point onwards. The style of painting and decorative art associated with the Renaissance reached its peak during the 15th and early 16th centuries through the artistry of Italian painters like Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo Buonarroti and Raffaello Sanzio.
When Altobello Melone painted his version of Christ around 1520, he drew much of his inspiration from an earlier
Cesare Borgia painting but distorted the distinctions between the features and ethnicities of the figure with one of the most corrupt productions at the time. This is Altobello Melone’s effeminate portrayal of Christ.
The reproduction of portraits of Christ in fine-art form took years to reach an accepted standardized form for His physical appearance before remaining consistent. Portraits of Christ were now being done as full frontal depictions with distinctive facial features, shoulder length hair, an extended thin nose, and a parted beard. In other words, the image of the Black Christ was completely eliminated and transformed into the likeness of the Caucasian based on Cesare Borgia’s image, and commissioned by the Catholic Church.
These seemingly innocent pictures were used as one of the main vehicles to perpetuate the racist system of white Supremacy, despite knowing that history and archaeology have long supported the fact that the writers of the Bible were not Caucasian. In fact, everyone in the known world at the time when history was being recorded was still genetically Black.
THE WELL KNOWN "HEAD OF CHRIST" PAINTING
Warner Sallman, a commercial artist who became a member of the Fundamentalist Bible College, wanted to use his talents for the kingdom. He was approached by a Dean to paint a new head of Christ portrait that was not as effeminate as the Cesare Borgia renditions.
Warner Sallman's 1941 "Head of Christ" portrait [left] was produced and marketed for the Church of God. Jesus is depicted with long hair gazing towards heaven.
This “Head of Christ” painting is undoubtedly the most recognized and popular image of Christ of all time, which has been deeply etched into the minds of everyone from childhood, mainly because it was reproduced using a variety of different formats.
This image rapidly spread all over the world and is estimated to have been reprinted more than a billion times, making it the most reproduced image in world history. It has been embraced by Blacks, Whites, Mormons, Catholics, Protestants, Native Americans, and practically everyone around the globe, making it one of the most recognized pieces of art that has ever been used to embellish Bible pages, Sunday school literature, calendars, posters, church bulletins, bumper stickers, fans, lamps, buttons, ornaments, Sunday School classrooms walls, churches and the home.
This image has been instrumental in influencing castings for movies about Jesus on television and in big screen movies.
As Europe began to prosper, a crusade was launched to circulate this white Jesus to the world when the Bible was being translated from the Afrikan languages to the European languages. The first English version of the Bible became available around the time of Wycliffe in 1380-93, and in 1611 the King James Version was produced. Europeans began inserting these fake images of the white Christ and His white disciples onto the Bible end-pages to fool the world into believing that salvation came through this white saviour.
David Morgan, an art historian, interviewed hundreds of people by asking them about their feelings regarding Warner Sallman's “Head of Christ” portrait. One woman said the picture appeals to her because it shows "just what Jesus looked like".
Some have reacted strongly against the “Head of Christ” because it resembled an effeminate person to them. As one New Testament Professor wrote, "we have a pretty picture of a woman with a curling beard who has just come from the beauty parlour with a halo shampoo, but we do not have the Lord who died and rose again!"
1st Corinthians {11:14}: "Doth not even nature itself teach you, that, if a man have long hair, it is a shame unto him? {11:15} But if a woman have long hair, it is a glory to her: for her hair is given her for a covering. {11:16} But if any man seem to be contentious, we have no such custom, neither the churches of God".
During the 20th century as America began rising to superpower status, it became the world’s leading manufacturer and international exporter of this invented white Jesus around the world via its movies, fine art, Christian missions, Bible inserts, churches, and American businesses. This newly empowered and globally recognizable white Jesus rapidly gained popularity as the sacred symbol for a new national unity, justice, and racial supremacy.
Edward Blum and Paul Harvey commented: “By wrapping itself with the alleged form of Jesus, whiteness gave itself a holy face … With Jesus as white, Americans could feel that sacred whiteness stretched back in time thousands of years and forward in sacred space to heaven and the second coming … The white Jesus promised a white past, a white present, and a future of white glory”.
However, modern research has shown through DNA tests results from discovered tombs containing the names and bodies of Mary of Magdalene, Martha, and Lazarus, that the people of the village of Magdella where they lived, were in fact Negroes. Archaeologists were inspired to begin such excavations in Judea as the place where Jesus was born based on this verse in Matthew {2:1-2}. “Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem, saying, where is he that is born King of the Jews?”
EARLY IMAGES OF THE BLACK CHRIST COMPARED TO PRESENT IMAGES OF THE FALSE CHRIST
The real Jesus is referred to as the Lamb of God with woolly hair that resembles the wool of a lamb. In the earliest of times, Jesus was always depicted in paintings, carvings and sculptures as a young Black man with short woolly hair wearing Afrikan type attire. This wall carving of the young, Black Jesus [left] is located in the catacombs of Rome.
However, when Christianity became the state religion, the images of Jesus took on a noticeable Caucasian appearance [right], and from that point on, a new distinctive look was developed portraying Jesus in royal robes with shoulder length hair, a parted beard, a thin nose and a halo.
The halo is currently identified with Christianity, but it was in use long before the Christian era with origins tracing back to the Egyptian age of sun worship around 3,000 B.C. The halo was later adopted by the Greeks around 300 B.C. as a main feature of the sun god Apollo. It was originally shunned in early Christian art because of its adoption from pagan art forms. However, from the middle of the 4th century, this pagan symbol was added above Christ’s head to symbolise His heavenly attributes.
After these fake images began to dominate the world of art and became universally accepted, armed security guards were stationed at the entrances of the catacombs to hide the truth concerning the true Israelites, the biblical characters, and the Black Christ, and to prevent the world from seeing the original wall carvings of Christ in His original Black glory.
It must be recognized that the Israelite people were Black and were always depicted that way before white racism surfaced. After that time, any Black image on display in a museum or book was now categorized as a Nubian, a slave, or a servant, but never as a ruler or royalty.
In the story of Jesus, Joseph was instructed by an angel to flee into the land of Ham (Egypt) to hide Jesus from the evil intentions of King Herod who was determined to kill Him, after learning that a new king was born who might become a threat to his authority.
Joseph was told to flee to Egypt not only because it was a Roman province, but because it was also a Black country populated by Black people at that time. Joseph, Mary and Jesus were therefore just another regular looking Black family mingling among other Black families in Afrika.
If Jesus and His family had resembled those images that show them as white, it would have been impossible for them to blend in among Black Egyptians without sticking out from the crowd.
In other words, Christ could only have been able to hide among the Afrikans of that period because He was of the same ethnic lineage as them.
In the British Museum there is a gold coin that was minted and engraved at the time of the Roman emperor Justinian II, showing the image of Christ with tightly curled, woolly hair and Negroid features [left], and on the opposite side there is an imprint of Justinian showing him with straight hair and European features [right].
How many European Christians would remain in the faith when they finally come to realise the truth about the real Jesus?
The time has come for those who continue to promote these distorted images of Christ as a Caucasian in movies such as
"The Passion of Christ" be condemned and exposed as frauds. The Euro-Christian world is fully aware of the truth concerning the true Jesus, but they continue to advertise this false image of a white Jesus. However, the once carefully hidden information concerning the earliest images of the Black Christ from the Tribe of Judah are gradually beginning to resurface.
Hebrews {7:14}: "For it is evident that our Lord sprang out of Judah....
This image which is located in the British museum (London), displays these afro styled Black men who are recognized as the ancient Israelite Hebrews. This particular image comes from the Assyrians who destroyed Israel about 3,000 years ago, confirming that the Hebrew people, who wrote the Bible which is the Black man’s history book, were Black.
Prior to the 1400’s when the Israelite Moors ruled throughout Europe and religion was being introduced into Europe from Afrika; the entire world knew that Christ and His mother were Black. Christ was accepted and worshipped as the Black Messiah, but somewhere between 31 B.C. and A.D. 14, that admiration began to dwindle sharply because of the influence of the Roman Empire, when Augustus Caesar was the royal leader. It was not until around 1492 after the Romans had defeated the Moors that the image of the Messiah was converted from Black to white. Black people were now regarded as second class citizens and were banned from educating themselves, later having to learn their history from the oppressors through these false images that were now so whitewashed that the Israelites did not even recognise it was theirs originally.
However, many Black paintings and images of Christ, the Apostles and other Biblical characters from early Christian worship still exist today. The most sacred and holiest icons of the Catholic Church and other prominent cathedrals in Europe continue to display The Black Madonna and Child. Here are a few of the images showing the Black Madonna and child as they were originally worshipped in France.
This painting on the left is the most revered painting at the
Chilander Monastery and the most significant icon for the Serbian people that represents Christ and his mother Mary. According to legend, it belongs to the icons said to be painted by St. Luke the Apostle, who was not only a writer but an artist as well and was considered to be the first Christian painter.
On the right is another ancient painting of Christ done centuries ago also showing Him to be a Black man with a straight nose as described in the Roman records by those who actually saw Him.
POPE ALEXANDER AND THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH
The European Christians were fighting the Holy Crusades against the Black rulers for control of Jerusalem and other Christian holy sites, because they believed that the “infidels” were beginning to threaten the stronghold which the Roman Empire and the Catholic Church held over the world. However, a major hindrance that faced Pope Alexander VI and the church was that Christ, on whom their entire false religion was based, was of the same ethnic lineage as the enemy against whom they were fighting, so the church was having a difficult time trying to push its system of beliefs in the region. Therefore the plan to invent a white Jesus was devised as a two-pronged approach to help the Christians hold on to power, while at the same time keeping their enemies in subjection.
Although the first Christians were people of colour, by the time Pope Alexander VI ascended to the papacy, the Europeans had already grabbed control of the church, so the Pope opted to use the proven strategy of discrediting the opponent to weaken his status by embarking on a plan to have every painting depicting a Black Christ destroyed. He then employed Leonardo Di Vinci to recreate Christ as a white messiah, using his son Cesare Borgia as the model for the new paintings. This strategy would have completely disconnected the white people of the empire from their Negroid enemies, thus making it easier to justifiably slaughter them without feeling any type of remorse.
However, not all of the original images were defaced, though a number of the surviving paintings were white-washed.
Icons are sacred images that portray Christ, the Virgin Mary, the Saints, and Historical Scenes like the Crucifixion of Christ. Prior to the Renaissance period, all Biblical icons throughout the world portrayed Christ and the patriarchs as Black and they were accepted as such.
This Crucifix on the right, c. 965–970 is the oldest large monument of the crucified Christ in central Europe which has always been displayed in the Cologne Cathedral in Germany.
Iconoclasm or image breaking is the deliberate act of destroying religious icons, symbols, and monuments primarily for religious or political purposes. It is a part of the political or religious reforms which believes that there should not be any sacred images, religious paintings, or monuments, as it could be interpreted as idol worship.
In ancient Egypt for example, the majority of the carved faces of the Black Pharaohs were either defaced or destroyed by their successors.
The icon on the left portrays the well-known crucified Black Christ of Mexico at the Metropolitan Cathedral of Mexico City.
Black culture was wiped out when the Caucasians rose to power and began spreading their Greek culture over the nations they conquered. This destruction occurred during the Hellenistic period in the 4th century B.C. following the wars of Alexander the Greek, who had sent out decrees to all nations that everyone must discontinue the traditions and customs of their fathers and become one people through integration and assimilation. In other words, all people were to reject their own culture and embrace the culture of their oppressors.
On the right is an image of Christ on the throne, painted in the 18th century, Greece.
On the left is a portrayal of Christ from around 400 A.D.
This image is located in the Roman catacombs.
On the right, Christ is depicted as the Good Shepherd, who is portrayed as a simple herder.
This image can also be found in the Christian catacombs in Rome.
This is a 17th Century Greek image of the young Christ. The Hellenization of a major Black race was that of the Israelite Jews between 334 B.C. and 70 A.D. when the Caucasians removed all Black images from their history books and repainted all Biblical characters to look white.
The Greeks passed many laws against the Israelite Jews, a major one being that it was unlawful for them to call themselves Jews, forcing them to be labelled as Greeks. This important detail often causes some misunderstanding when religious people are reading the New Testament and Greeks are mentioned, not realizing that it is referring to the Black Israelites who were Hellenized, and not to the Caucasians.
Later on, another Iconoclastic period commonly known as the Renaissance got started. This was a deliberate attempt to white-wash all the Black rulers who had been governing Europe for 1,000 years out of history in order to establish white supremacy.
Many icons were destroyed, while several of the surviving ones were bleached. Here is a portrayal of Christ from the Dark Ages, so called, because Black people were governing at the time. Many of these earlier paintings of Christ were either destroyed or repainted to look white in order to hide the true identity of the Israelites.
It was a known but hidden fact that Black people once ruled throughout all of Europe.
Here are some depictions of ancient artefacts which are still found in Russia which were left by our forefathers, showing white people on the Day of Judgment where even the angels are Black.
Attempts were made during the Renaissance period to destroy all these ancient artefacts that portrayed the Most High, Christ, the Angels, the Apostles and Prophets as Black. This shows that colour matters; otherwise the European would not have gone to such extreme lengths to repaint all the images of the Israelite people to make them look like white people. This process of brainwashing through whitewashing became the standard, and spread its way from Europe to the Americas.
These wall paintings of the Good Shepherd are located on the ceiling of the Vault of Lucina in the Catacombs of Callixtus in Rome, displaying the oldest depiction of Christ known to man.
This is another image of Jesus as the Good Shepherd which was an accepted drawing based on several biblical passages including Psalms 23, and various sayings of Jesus during the early Christian centuries.
These paintings represent the earliest visual depictions of Jesus “Healing the Paralytic Man" [Mark 2:1-12] which were found on the walls of the church at Dura Europos Syria dating back to around 235 A.D. Again Jesus is portrayed as short and dark-skinned with a small curly afro. These were part of the Dura Europos collection at the Yale University Gallery of Fine Arts.
The image on the left is a painting depicting a meeting with Christ at a temple.
On the right is a painted wooden panel with Christ and His disciples, which is located in the Coptic museum in Cairo.
These were some of the earliest images known to man that portrayed Christ in His original Black glory long before any Caucasian had conceived the idea to destroy and replace them with altered images designed to represent and promote their own likeness and culture.
These two images depict God and His Son as Black.
John {14:?9}…“he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, shew us the Father?”
On the left is an ancient depiction of Baby Jesus being visited by the 3 wise men. The image on the right shows Moses, Christ and Elijah at the transfiguration.
This image from the 11th century shows the Black Messiah healing the sick.
Note carefully that the inscriptions are written in Hebrew.
To the left is an image from the 16th century which portrays the Creation of Man.
On the right is an image from the 14th century which shows Adam and Eve as Black.
On the left is an image from the 18th century depicting Michael the Archangel.
To the right Michael the Archangel is portrayed with the saints, all Black.
From left to right are Moses, King David, Jeremiah, Hosea, Peter, Paul and Gabriel the Archangel.
So the question is, if all of the ancient images of Christ, the saints and the biblical patriarchs were originally Black, then how did they all end up being white?
WHITE WASHING THE ORIGINAL BLACK IMAGES
Job {9:24}: "The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?"
Note the progressive whitewashing or bleaching of an early image from Black to white.
This is an early wall painting of the Black Christ and His disciples as they gathered for the Eucharist. It is located in the Catacombs of St. Domitilla in Rome, and dates back to the 2nd to 4th centuries.
This is the same image of Christ and His Apostles from a later period, but this time it clearly shows the bleaching of the Israelites from Black to white.
This is Leonardo Da Vinci’s 1498 version of the Last Supper which depicts an effeminate interpretation of Christ as a white man.
1st Maccabees {3:48}: “And laid open the book of the law, wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likeness of their images”.

Remember that during the Renaissance period, many Jesuit priests were employed to journey all over Europe to paint Caucasian images to replace the Black images that were around for centuries. Pope Alexander V1 of Rome had also hired Leonard Da Vinci to paint all the sacred images that portrayed Christ, His mother, the Saints, and other Historical Scenes in the Bible as Caucasians.

Colossians {1:15} states that Jesus “…is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature…” John {1:14} says, “the word was made flesh and dwelt among us”. In John {14:9} Jesus states: “he that hath seen me hath seen the Father;…” and in John {10:30}, “I and my father are one”.
KING JAMES - THE BLACK KING OF BRITAIN, FRANCE AND IRELAND
King James, born James Charles Stuart was described as Swarthy or Negro. The word Stuart comes from an old Nordish root Svart which means Black.
King James, the Black King of Britain, France and Ireland, authorized - that is - officially permitted the translation of the 1611 version of the Bible into a language the ordinary man could read and understand for himself, assigning 47 of the best Hebrew and Greek scholars. They were separated into 6 groups: 3 for the Old Testament, 2 for the New Testament and 1 for the Apocrypha. These apocryphal books were published in the original 1611 King James Bible and were initially accepted for 274 years until they were removed around 1885 A.D.
This would have made it difficult for the ordinary person to unearth certain specific prophecies that were written in the book “Wisdom of Solomon” thousands of years earlier regarding the idea to introduce a white man’s image as Jesus.
These prophesies would have been discovered after reading and studying the sacred texts, so in order to hide this knowledge from the masses, the Apocryphal books may have been removed.
PROPHECIES FROM THE APOCRYPHAL BOOK "WISDOM OF SOLOMOM"
Wisdom of Solomon {14:8} - "But that which is made with hands is cursed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he made it; and it, because, being corruptible, it was called god".
An image or idol made by human hands is cursed, along with the one who created it, because such an evil image was designed for the sole purpose of being worshipped as god.
Wisdom of Solomon {14:9}: "For the ungodly and his ungodliness are both alike hateful unto God. {14:10}: For that which is made shall be punished together with him that made it".
The wicked and his creations are despised by God; therefore punishment will be allocated to whoever is involved in such immoral practises.
Wisdom of Solomon {14:11} - "Therefore even upon the idols of the Gentiles shall there be a visitation: because in the creature of God they are become an abomination, and stumbling blocks to the souls of men, and a snare to the feet of the unwise".
It is known that Christ and his people were Black, but the Europeans knew that if they could produce images in their own likeness and place them throughout Bible pages, everyone reading them would eventually start to believe that these white images actually represent the people of the Bible, and by convincing the world that the son of God was white, everyone would automatically associate whiteness with superiority and godliness, whereas blackness would be associated with inferiority, evil, and negativity. This low self-esteem would then be used as a tool to convince Black people to accept the idea that they should be grateful to be slaves of the white man. Black people would also begin to feel excluded from the Bible because no one in it resembles them, and in time they would consider the Bible as a white man's book. Because of this, they would develop an internal hatred towards each other, which in turn would create stumbling blocks to their spiritual development.
Wisdom of Solomon {14:12: "For the devising of idols was the beginning of spiritual fornication, and the invention of them the corruption of life. {14:13}: For neither were they from the beginning, neither shall they be for ever. {14:14}: For by the vain glory of men they entered into the world, and therefore shall they come shortly to an end".
The designing and making of idols is the starting point of spiritual fornication which leads to the destruction of life. When new students are being taught about Christ they would be deceived into deifying these false images and idols that masquerade as God, which in turn would cause them to commit spiritual fornication. As these idols were not in existence in the beginning but were conceived through self-righteousness, they will be destroyed.
Wisdom of Solomon {14:15} - "For a father afflicted with untimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his child soon taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and delivered to those that were under him ceremonies and sacrifices".
This verse refers to Rodrigo Borgia, (Pope Alexander VI), who had the image of his son, Cesare Borgia, painted by Leonard Da Vinci and other artists to be used as the new image of Christ.
With the establishment of this image, many false doctrines, ceremonies, rituals and holidays were developed as by-products which have deceived the world into believing that these practices were inspired and approved by God.
Wisdom of Solomon {14:16} - "Thus in process of time an ungodly custom grown strong was kept as a law, and graven images were worshipped by the commandments of kings".
Through the passage of time, the worshipping of this false image and the acceptance of these false doctrines grew so strong that they were later made into law by the king, and from these traditional practices many perverted customs emerged which became globally popular.
One well known custom is Christmas, where Christ’s birthday is celebrated on December 25th with merriment, eating, drinking, decorating trees, shopping and gift exchanges.
The first recorded date of Christmas being celebrated on December 25th was around 336A.D. at the time of Emperor Constantine, who was the first Roman Christian Emperor. Within a few years, Pope Julius I officially declared that the birth of Christ would be celebrated on December 25th, because it coincided with the pagan tradition of the Winter Solstice.
Another tradition is the glorification of the false idol globally known as Santa Claus.
These idols and traditions of men were mainly responsible for the development and promotion of the white Mary and Christ, which became the spring board for many of the other false religious practices that gradually came into existence.
Wisdom of Solomon {14:17} - "Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt far off, they took the counterfeit of his visage from far, and made an express image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardness they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present".
Not everyone was able to worship the new image of Christ in its place of origin since many of the people lived in remote locations, so they reproduced and brought back the false image of Christ with them to their native countries so they could continue honouring the image as if they were present in its place of origin.
Wisdom of Solomon {14:19} - "For he, peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make the resemblance of the best fashion".
This passage alludes to the competition between Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo during the Renaissance period to see who could greatly impress the king, Rodrigo Borgia - Pope Alexander VI, by painting the image of his son Cesare Borgia [right] which was to be used as the new portrait of Christ for worldwide distribution.
Leonardo da Vinci was more than willing to make the greatest impression on the king by summoning up all of his creative and artistic skills in order to sketch the portrait to the best of his ability.
Leonardo and Michelangelo then went on to paint all the patriarchs of the Bible white, thereby hiding the true physical nature of the biblical characters from the eyes of the world.
Wisdom of Solomon {14:20}: "And so the multitude, allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured. {14:21} - And this was an occasion to deceive the world: for men, serving either calamity or tyranny, did ascribe unto stones and stocks the incommunicable name".
The world was so smitten by the elegance and beauty of this impressive piece of artwork that it was readily accepted and worshipped as Christ, and by not revealing the true origin, source and identity of this image, which is Cesare Borgia, the opportunity to mislead the whole world into believing that they were worshipping the true Christ became a reality.
Wisdom of Solomon {15:4} "For neither did the mischievous invention of men deceive us, nor an image spotted with divers colours, the painter’s fruitless labour; {15:5} The sight whereof enticeth fools to lust after it, and so they desire the form of a dead image, that hath no breath. {15:6} Both they that make them, they that desire them, and they that worship them, are lovers of evil things, and are worthy to have such things to trust upon".
Those having wisdom and understanding are not deceived by the corrupt creations of these artists, but fools on the other hand, lust after these lifeless, useless images, even falling in love with them because of their visual appeal. These perverse idols become the receptacles for those who are deceived to store their religious doctrines and belief in God into.
The Old Testament speaks out against all graven images that are displayed in homes, churches or anywhere.
Exodus {20: 3-6}: “Thou shalt have no other gods before me. Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: 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; and showing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and keep my commandments”.
Deuteronomy {7:25}: "The graven images of their gods shall ye burn with fire: thou shalt not desire the silver or gold that is on them, nor take it unto thee, lest thou be snared therein: for it is an abomination to the LORD thy God. {7:26} Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing".
A graven image can be classified as a false god, a pagan symbol, idol, statue, icon, likeness, portrait, figure, depiction, artwork, or some type of representation of a person that is worshipped as God.
Here a Catholic woman is worshipping a statue which she believes to be Christ.
Deuteronomy {4: 16}: "Lest ye corrupt yourselves, and make you a graven image, the similitude of any figure, the likeness of male or female”.
Isaiah {2:8}: “Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made”…
Acts {17:29}: “Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man’s device”.
Isaiah {42:8}: “I am the LORD: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven images”.
Psalm {96:5} "For all the gods of the nations [are] idols: but the LORD made the heavens".
Acts {6:9-11}: “Be not deceived: neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor abusers of themselves with mankind……shall inherit the kingdom of God”.
Clearly God forbids His chosen people to make, bow down to or worship any graven image, since He will not share His glory with another.
POPE BENEDICT XVI AND POPE FRANCIS I STILL WORSHIP THE BLACK VIRGIN
Pope Benedict XVI and Pope Francis I are seen here in a Vatican chapel praying to the Black Madonna and Child. Church leaders know very well that the Israelites are Black, which obviously includes Jesus the Christ.
Satan’s desire from the very beginning was to usurp God and His throne as revealed in Isaiah {14:13}. "For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: {14:14} I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the most High".
2nd Thessalonians {2:3}: "Let no man deceive you by any means: for [that day shall not come,] except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; {2:4} Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God. {2:5} Remember ye not, that, when I was yet with you, I told you these things? {2:11} And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: {2:12} That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness".
As a result of introducing these false images of Christ, Satan - with the help of the Catholic Church - has been receiving all the glory that rightfully belongs to God the creator and His son.
It is believed that the books of the Apocrypha were deliberately removed from the Bible by those who may have been aware of the specific prophecies that pointed an accusing finger at them as co-conspirators with the great dragon in the biggest worldwide deception of all times, therefore those prophecies and revelations had to be concealed from the general public in order to keep them in total darkness.
