If you discredit this "vision", then you must discredit all the others (i.e. Daniel 2:19) in the Bible.
ShemsiEn Tehuti,
For the Record
The argument over the color of Solomon, seriously grieves me lamentably to the point of involvement.
The Producer is correct to say the word “white” does not indicate color, but figuratively, a condition. The Hebrew word used is (tsach), which means dazzling, sunny, bright. It comes from (tsachach), which means; to glare or be dazzling. Regardless of the winner, the debate, in the final analysis, is moot and quite an exercise in
reductio ad absurdum.
Besides, just to take literally, what the Bible
gives us, one can conclude that there was
no appreciable difference between the colors of the Hebrew, Egyptian, Ethiopian, Midianite, etc…(all were black/people of color)
In the Genesis account, we are
given that Joseph recognized his brothers, but the brothers did not recognized Joseph, upon their visit to Egypt for resources. Joseph, born a Hebrew, became an Egyptian Lord.
Again, Moses, we know was born Hebrew, but raised an Egyptian and became Pharaoh’s daughter’s son. Moses was recognized as an Egyptian on more than one occasion. Jethro’s daughter, Zipporah, identified Moses as an Egyptian to her father. There was
no appreciable difference in color, according to Holy Scripture.
ShemsiEn Tehuti, you are correct to point out Leprosy as a definite change in color. The Producer feels white people would be immune to the plague, if Leprosy is considered as such. However, there was a “clean” Leprosy that GOD issued, which allowed the non-quarantine “clean” Leper; or should we say the mixing of completely “turned white” Lepers with all others.
That is to say, the plague transformed people of color (black) into people of non-color (white), through the removal of coloring substances; pigment and melanin, as only GOD could perform, creating an appreciable difference (“hath made of one blood all nations of men”).
Again, the Bible
gives us that Esau was
uniquely born Red in Color, a definite appreciable difference, in the Genesis account. In other words, Holy Scripture provides us with the melting pot colors of man, Black, Red and White.
Woven into the warp and woof of Seminary teaching and Pulpit preaching is the
absence of such understanding of Scripture by Context.
This new, white-black man or black-white man, is currently supported through recent deep/ancestral DNA testing discovery. And compares with the spreading of the black man (people of color)from Alkebu-Lan to populate the Earth, explaining the greater numbers of people having color in the World we live in. If it is that you must respond in disagreement, then the questions put to you are:
What is your academic and biblical view of the White Man’s existence?
How do you explain away the Origin of the White Man?
What Color were the Hebrews and Hyksos?
Who is the Falash Mura?
Does Color Matter?
Sincerely,
Clyde
