Jesus Wore Locked Hair – It Looked Like Premium Wool

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

 More coming on – “Was Jesus a Nazarite?”

 

Jesus Christ – White Man Or Black Man?

1. My earliest images are of Jesus as a white man

It was positioned in a prominent place in our home – the picture of a Caucasian Jesus.  He had long, flowing blond hair and stood with one hand stretched out, as if asking us to believe Him.  Like most of us, I believed for many years that Jesus was a white man. In fact,  to many, the Black  Race is inferior because  God is believed to be white.

The truth is that God is a Spiritual Being and can appear in any form (or nationality) as I myself have seen.

 

2. Jesus was a Black Man while He lived on earth

Archangel Gabriel showed me that Lord Jesus was a direct descendant of King David – a Black Man.  Apostle Matthew said that He was “the son of David, the son of Abraham” (Matthew 1: 1). Moreover, Jesus’ family line was traced back to King Adam, who was created as a Black Man.  Apostle Luke gave us this genealogy, explaining that Lord Jesus was not the earthly son of Joseph the carpenter (as people commonly believed):

And Jesus himself began to be about thirty years of age, being (as was supposed) the son of Joseph, which was [the son] of Heli…

Which was [the son] of Enos, which was [the son] of Seth, which was [the son] of Adam, which was [the son] of God (Luke 3: 23 & 38)

Scriptures traced also Jesus’ family tree back to Abraham who was a black man (Matthew 1).   Esau the greatgrandson of Abraham was described as “ruddy” or a bronze man.  That leaves the question as to the skin tone of his twin brother Jacob.  Was he slightly darker?

Abraham was a descendant of  Shem, a son of Noah and a black man.  Shem was bronze in color like his forefather Adam.  In fact, some of Noah’s descendants were very dark skinned and seem to have been burnt by the sun.  They included his son Ham whose sons  Mizraim (Egyptians),  Phut (Libyans) and Cush (Ethiopians) was extremely dark in color. 

Ham, Phut, Cush and Mizraim were named after their skin color and singled out in scripture because their skin was unusually dark, almost black

It is not illogical to believe that earth’s pre and post flood races were black in color because there was intermarriage in the families from the time of  Creation.  The early humans lived in the region of Africa  and needed their melanin for protection against the sun. They may have lost the melanin with migration to colder climates and expanding of the human tribes in size and with less close intermarriage.

Jesus was a descendant of  the Jews who had gone into captivity in Babylon in 586 BC. They returned to their nation and were again scattered in all the earth in the exile of  586 BC.  Today Jews  can be found in many nations (and races) as a result of this dispersion and resulting intermarriage with the people of these lands.

 

King David Was A Handsome Black Man

1. King David was a black man?

Earlier this week I was musing on the revelation of the black race in the scriptures when I remembered that I had read that David was “ruddy”.  I raced excitedly to blueletterbible.org and found two texts in the Book of 1 Samuel. In the text, God had sent Prophet Samuel to Bethlehem with the intent of anointing a King to replace Saul:

And Samuel said unto Jesse, Are here all [thy] children? And he said, There remaineth yet the youngest, and, behold, he keepeth the sheep. And Samuel said unto Jesse, Send and fetch him: for we will not sit down till he come hither

And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy (‘admoniy/H 132), [and] withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to. And the LORD said, Arise, anoint him: for this [is] he.

Then Samuel took the horn of oil, and anointed him in the midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came upon David from that day forward. So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah (1 Samuel 16: 11 -13).

 

 

2. The exciting meaning of ‘admoniy

‘Admoniy, meaning red, is an adjective which describes the complexion of the young David.   Here is deep revelation:

• ‘Admoniy  comes from the root  word ‘adam  (H 119).
• The writer therefore showed the similarity between David’s and Adam’s complexion.
• We can therefore conclude that David was a bronze man
• In contrast, people who were described as “black”, like Solomon’s wife, were much darker, possibly ebony in complexion. For example, Solomon’s wife said that she had been scorched by the sun

 

 

3. Goliath the giant disdained David because his complexion was ruddy

The second scriptural reference to  David’s skin color was made in relation to his encounter with Goliath. The giant disdained him because he was ruddy (‘admoniy/H 132)  and only a youth.  Again the word ‘admoniy/H 132 is used to describe David’s  bronze complexion:

And when the Philistine looked about, and saw David, he disdained him: for he was [but] a youth, and ruddy, and of a fair countenance.

 

 

4. Racial issues in the scripture

As we read between the lines,  scriptures reveal  existing issues related to skin complexion.  For example:

• Solomon’s wife asked the people of Jerusalem not to disdain her because she was black
• Goliath disdained David because he was bronze

The writers singled out these skin tones because the individuals concerned were different from their peers and relatives.   Consider that the entire slave trade and racism were built on the issue of  the black race being an inferior one.

How many people have gone to hell as a result – God created man black! Blessings and celebrate your black heritage!
