1. Introduction
We have been discovering the fascinating bible secrets about the black heritage of the human race and moreso the Jewish people. In the previous post, we explored whether or not Jesus was a black man and came to the conclusion that He was black because of His racial heritage. Today, we will explore whether or not He was a Nazarite.
We learnt that the Nazarite wore long locks as a symbol of their separation to God and cited Samson as an example. Was Jesus a Nazarite when He lived on earth? In this post, I will explore this revelation and its significance.
2. Scriptures reveal that Jesus had hair like wool
The issue of Jesus’ hair has always fascinated me because a description of His hair was given by Apostle John in the book of Revelation. I had been fascinated for some years about the similarity between Apostle John’s description and one given by Apostle Daniel about the “the Ancient of Days”. We see several truths when the texts are compared:
a. There are two people in the Daniel text – the Ancient of Days and Jesus the Son of Man. This is a revelation of two of the people in the God family
b. Jesus the Son of Man has the same hair texture as the Ancient of Days. Both Apostles Daniel and John compared their hair to “wool”
c. Apostle John also said that Jesus’ hair was “white like wool”:
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…
I saw in the night visions, and, behold, [one] like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him (Daniel 7: 9)
And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
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.
His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes [were] as a flame of fire;
And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters (Revelation 1: 12 – 15)
3. What were the style and texture of Jesus hair?
Although I would occasionally read these two texts over the years, I did not understand the description of the wool – like hair until a few months ago when I was closely inspecting the locked hair of a black female. I was standing in a line behind her and we were talking about the locking of the hair. Her locks were mature and long, while my locked hair was and still is in the infancy stage.
As I closely inspected her hair, I was fascinated to discover that it looked as if wool had been wrapped around each lock. Some braiders wrap wool around individual braids of natural black hair in one of their braiding techniques. However, my friend’s hair was not wrapped with wool – she told me that she used the interlocking technique to lock her hair.
I myself use the interlocking technique because I have found that the hair is easier to manage. Palm rolling is another technique used to lock the hair. However, the lock that is palm rolled and twisted looks more like a strong, smooth or rough rope at all stages.
Later in the day, Archangel Gabriel gave me the understanding of the “wool like” hair in the two texts. He began to show me that the wool – like appearance of Jesus’ hair and that of the Ancient of Days was due to the locking process.
4. Did Apostle John mean ONLY that Jesus’ hair was white like wool?
Apostle Daniel said that the hair of the Ancient of Days was like “pure wool” while Apostle John reiterated that Jesus’ hair was “white like wool, as white as snow”. Until my eyes were opened, I had thought that Jesus’ hair was white like wool. I had not yet received the revelation about the style and texture of our Lord’s hair.
In order to clarify the issue, I searched the scriptures to see if there were only white sheep and therefore white wool in the Bible days. If this were the case, then we could safely say that Apostle John was speaking only about the color and not the texture of Jesus’ hair. I discovered that that there were brown sheep (Gen 30: 33).
In fact, I could not find any references to white sheep, but found one to “white wool” (Eze 27: 18). This does not imply that there were no white sheep in scripture. However, the point is that John was not implying that Jesus’ hair was white because of white sheep, but he was comparing the texture to that of premium white wool. This is the same for the Ancient of Days.
5. Why was Jesus’ hair white?
Unlike earth, white hair is a status symbol in heaven – indicating a person of great honor and respect. The Ancient of Days and Lord Jesus represent two members of the Ruling Council of Heaven and Earth called “God”. We are created in their image and likeness. Let us continue to celebrate our Black Heritage and Race.
6. Conclusion
By revealing Himself in visions as a Black Man, Jesus gives us a picture of His physical description while He was on earth. He was One of us – a human, compassionate. He knows what it it is like to be Black and identifies with the Black Race. May God bless you as you celebrate your created purpose and heritage

Hi Jesus was not “black” as you would say african american are but rather mixed and of negro descent as well. Remember that negroes are not the only ones that make up those who were sold into slavery there were native indians , east indians and latinoes as well. Secondly if the bible says his hair is white like wool you need to carefully examine what wooly hair looks like and don’t just pull up a picture of a random sheep you have to look at the sheep that was most known to israel. These type of sheep found in Israel I assure you do not have the same type of hair that a normal african american has today. Jesus was black yes but not the black thate we are thinking of for e.g samuel L jackson , bill cosby e.t.c

Hello Aaron
I really had to chuckle at your response. No disrespect meant, because you were misled by the use of the word GHOST in the translation that you read. Do you know that there is a world that is invisible to the human eye and that real people live there?
If they are ghosts, it would be entirely confounding to explain how these people were described in detail in the scripture and also referred to by gender. For example, I refer you to Prophet Daniel’s encounter with Archangel Gabriel in Daniel 9: 21 & Daniel 10: 6.
There are also many other recordings in scripture in which human beings encounted these inhabitants of that world that is invisible to the eye. I refer you again to Genesis 18 and 19. Three men from that world – the three members of the God Family, visited our world on a fact finding mission. During that visit, they ate meat, corn cakes and drank water.
I never heard about a ghost who could do that. Thanks for writing. I hope this helped
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: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire – Daniel 7: 9
His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire – Revelation 1: 14

I recently returned from Italy and while in Rome I saw a bronze sculpted art display from the 14th century of Jesus on the cross, the artist portrayed his hair clearly in a way that we would perceive his hair to be what we now consider to be dreadlocks?

Hello Jusuts
Thoughtful comment. I went on further to write
I ended this post by saying:
I believe that Lord Jesus was strictly separated as a Nazarite BEFORE He began His public ministry. At that time, He had to separate Himself from certain elements of the vow in order to minister to the people who needed deliverance:
A. His first miracle was turning water into wine. Did He drink any?
B. The pundits, aggravated by His conduct and failure to live up to John the Baptist’s example, accused Him of being a winebibber (Matt 11: 19)
C. He touched the dead in order to raise them to life
D. And associated with sinners
However, He had come to seek and to save the lost
Blessings, peace and angelic prosperity.

hi i found your post very interesting i went on to research pictures and images of both Jews and Egyptians interestingly i found one image that actually can be described as copper brass skin and the hair texture of that particular individual can be compared to sheep wool (when it is still on the sheep it is wavy) but it don’t particularly mean that Jesus had locks per say.

You are indeed in a dark and terrible place and need deliverance. I feel your desperation. Do NOT commit suicide. This is what the devil wants – to end your life, but he is a liar. Jesus has given you life abundantly and this is free.
I pray over you and your siblings now in the name of Jesus and renounce and destroy every curse, hex and spell. I declare according to the Word of God that Jesus is your Liberator – He came to set captives free. You are a captive living in a strange world that you do not understand, but Jesus is your Deliverer who came to destroy ALL of the works of the devil.
I now declare according to the Word of God that you are free from this bondage. I claim the anointing that will turn your sorrow to joy, mourning to dancing and waste places to prosperity – See Isaiah 61.
I declare according to the Word of the Lord that God will build, raise up and repair all of your waste places, former desolations and broken dreams. I agree with the Word of the Lord that you shall possess double, will be joyful and that you are the Servant of the Lord (Isaiah 61).
I pray for the release of Angels to you and your family. Angels who will fight on your behalf, guard and lead you to protection, prosperity and a safe place. I pray for the release of favor with people who will help you to get out of debt.
I claim victory now in the name of Jesus. Amen.
In order to walk in victory – you need to fill your thoughts with the Living and Powerful Word of God. Listen here – http://www.audiobible.com/bible/Bible.html
Speak the Word of God out loud.
Forgive your enemies.
Believe the Word of God that says that you are more than a conqueror through Jesus who loved us
Great anointed music which helped me –
