Nothing is by accident. God did not make any mistake with the family line of the Lord Jesus Christ, nor with the circumstances or place of his birth. No mistake was made with his mission, and none is being made now with the web of confusion deliberately wound by the enemy surrounding Jesus’ race and lineage.
If humanity gets caught up in the global conundrum of race as it relates to Christ, the Son of God, billions will lose their way and end up in the pit of hell. This well-calculated diversion is not by coincidence; it is the enemy’s deliberate ploy to deceive.
God designed humanity with a physical body, a mind, and a soul, which is the spirit man. Sin and the wiles of the enemy have shifted the focus of men from the immortal soul to the perishable physique, where colour, culture, and couture matter more than spiritual things.
Souls, which are safely tucked within the housing of bodies, have no complexion or racial features and really should not be unduly influenced by outward appearance, culture, or even the limitations of location.
When God made man, He did not say He made black or white men differently. He made man in His own image, and He said it was good. He created male and female and appointed humankind as His representatives on earth, having full dominion over the creation with the significant spiritual capacity to relate to his Creator.
Later, He made Abraham the father of many nations on all the face of the earth.
The raging debate about the genealogy of Christ is rooted in his physical appearance and not the fact that He is God, the Spirit in flesh.
Notwithstanding all of this, the Bible is very clear: the Lord Jesus was from the line of King David. Based on historical facts, the features of the Jews during the reign of King David, King Solomon, and the others were definitely not white. Some of the earliest images of Jesus showed him with very dark skin, possibly African.
However, Warner E. Sallman’s famous painting called “Head of Christ,” which depicted a ‘white’ Jesus, has been reproduced a billion times and came to define what the central figure of Christianity looked like for generations.
A long tradition of European artists also produced a white Jesus in their own image long before Sallman. Most notable among them was the Frenchman Leon-Augustin Lhermitte.
This matter of colour has been strategically used by the enemy to create more divisions among peoples, nations, and within the church than is imaginable.
It was used by pseudo-Christians to elevate one race above the other, colonising nations with the sword in one hand and the Bible in the other. It has been used to oppress sectors, to belittle congregations, and to disparage communities.
Colourization in many parts of the world has robbed so many people of basic human rights, self-esteem, self-actualisation, and opportunities for advancement. In India, for example, the prevalence of the caste system creates its own division. However, it wasn’t based on morphology or skin colour until the arrival of British colonists on the Asian shores.
These vagabonds tried to introduce racism by elevating the light-skinned Brahmin people into positions of power, giving them Western education and Western attitudes about their bodies and the hues of their skin.
Blue-blooded British citizens claim better breeding than all others, especially red-blooded black residents. This artificial ideal was packaged and pummelled into the social psyche of the enslaved Africans in colonies and the Commonwealth nations.
Established research suggests that the early Church of England in Jamaica favoured white priests or mulattoes who were married to white British women. In his book on the Anglican/Episcopalian Church in Jamaica, Roots and Blossoms, the Rev. Dr. Edmund Davis stated that between 1843 and 1904, no black man was admitted to the ministry of the Church in Jamaica. The Anglican Church was then the white people’s church, and it seemed pointless to appoint black clergy. The question of the colour of the Jamaican clergy does surface from time to time, somewhat surprisingly, in the church’s own newspapers. In the Jamaica Church Chronicle of November 1876, a black man is quoted as protesting that in the Jamaica Church, there has been “lately ordained a set of ignorant mulatto boys, without mental culture or brain enough to guide those who are placed under their charge.”
These mulattoes were regarded as a kind of ‘honorary white’ and placed in major parishes across the island. The majority of priests who were married to black women were never elevated to the coveted positions. This forced many black priests to return to the island from English seminaries with white wives on their arms.
With the Roman Catholic Church also deeply entrenched in white theology, the lily-white image of Jesus was banded about as authentic and further suppressed the black conscience.
Among ordinary folk, colourization had been barrelled down ancestral lines, supported and advanced through education, politics, and well-accepted class systems that say ‘nutten black no good.’
In these end times, nations are forming multi-racial, multi-cultural economic blocs and partnerships to expand and ‘sure-up’ their power base, wealth, and critical resources ahead of the much-anticipated one-world rule.
African nations, with their large black majorities, have been pushing back against the continued plunder of their natural resources and standing firmly against the infiltration of the reprobate ideology prescribed and promoted by the United States, Canada, and their counterparts in blue-blooded Europe.
History has taught nations in Africa that the US, the UK, and other colonists or foreign direct investors, with white majorities, whom for centuries many have idolised above God, will not run to their rescue in pandemics, famine, or other deadly crises. They never did, and they never will.
Race will continue to drive global policies, ideologies, and even decisions. It is a critical peg in the current deliberations about Jamaica leaving the UK-based Privy Council for the tarnished Caribbean Court of Justice. It is also one of the main factors behind the one-world order and its population reduction mission.
Even as the enemy uses race to distract, divide, deceive, and dominate, those who know their God are very clear that this is not our battle. It is the Lord’s. It is a fierce fight for souls, not race. It is not about black or white flesh and blue or red blood. The real battle, which is already won, is against spiritualities and principalities in high and diverse places.
But the heated debate, which continues to boil and bubble over on the notion of black Jesus or white Jesus, deliberately dismisses the fact that God so loved the world that He gave His Only Begotten Son that whosoever, whether black, white, brown, or yellow, believed in Him, should not perish but have everlasting life.
Be very sure, whether we are black, brown, yellow, or white, if we fail to repent of our sins and accept Jesus as our personal Saviour and Lord, our black or white bodies and wretched souls will be lost to eternal damnation.
