For those social media Influencers who claim they have met Jesus Christ in a dream, vision or trance. Please, what does he look like?  Has there ever been a clear and direct answer to this question? Is there any bold personal witness from the social media influencers identifying Christ’s colour and race in this generation? If there is, be so kind and share the links and comment below this article.

What if the globalists set up a fake rapture event to deceive the Church? [Matthew 24:24] [Revelation 13:14]. How then shall they identify him on the day of the rapture and the second coming? Is the church not risking being conned by impostors? 


Who thinks Jesus is black?

Jesus was a Jew born in 1st-century Palestine, a region populated by people with olive to dark skin, with some arguing for Black identity. General scholars and the public acknowledge Jesus wasn't white. Some leaders, like the late Malcolm X and Louis Farrakhan, have stated that the historical Jesus was Black. 


               The Blacks: Africans and Americans

The black Hebrew Israelite Movement teach that Jesus was a black man of African or Semitic origin, and that mainstream Christianity has whitewashed his image. Black Hebrew Israelites believe Jesus was a black Hebrew from the tribe of Judah. Many African American churches and faith leaders have long asserted that Jesus was not white and may have had dark skin, based on historical context with biblical, geography and ancestry clues.

Black Christian movements emphasize a non-white or black Jesus for cultural and historical accuracy. Authors Edward J. Blum & Paul Harvey blame Americans for destroying the image of Jesus and promote the likeness of him that covers up their exploitation of Native Americans and African Americans, which stems from colonial times. Author Christopher King emphasizes the respect given to the white skin because Jesus was white, while black people get disrespected because it’s the inferior colour to Jesus’. The whiteness of Jesus seems the determining factor of which race is more superior.  

Some Islamic nations and Afrocentric thinkers view Jesus as part of a broader reclaiming of African history. A wider set of people, not just religious or scholarly, believe Jesus wasn’t white. Pew Research in the U.S. (2015) found that a significant number of Americans think Jesus likely had Middle Eastern or darker features. Even among some white Christians today, there’s acknowledgment that the “white Jesus” image is a European invention from the Renaissance art.   

                          The Turin Shroud

 Author Mickey Ridings created an incredible narrative combining Scripture, physical evidence, and historical documents to re-examine the mystery of the Turin shroud. In the book “Turin Shroud: The fifth gospel”. The book boasts of contributions from past scholarly experts over the times and dates of Jesus Christ and other derivable details from the famous mysterious shroud that Jesus wore on the day of his crucification.                                                                   
               
                                  The Computer Simulations

Using skulls of ancient Jewish men from Galilee, British scientists reconstructed what Jesus looked like in 2001. The computer model of Christ showed a man with a broad, prominent nose and curly dark hair. However, it's widely regarded as the most scientifically plausible image of Jesus to date.      

                   John of the Book of Revelation

         In conclusion, John, the disciple of Jesus in the Bible wrote “now we are children of God, and what we will have not yet been made known. But we know that when Christ appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is” [1 John 3:2]. It’s noteworthy to mention that the same John once again wrote, saying "His hair was like wool, and his feet were like burnished bronze." [Revelation 1:14–15]. These passages are often cited as evidence of African features!


                                        And You! What do you think?

Will you recognize the king of kings when he shows up in the clouds? Please Don’t Dare say it doesn’t matter! ! [1 John 2:3]
