The
Anglo-Saxon Jesus
By Jason Robb, J.D.
EDITORS NOTE: The
term Anglo-Saxon in this article is used generically . The white race has
kindred people who do not necessarily identify themselves as Anglo-Saxon.
All white people are related by blood and share common ancestry. The term
Anglo-Saxon therefore would be
interchangeable
with any word used for
identifying those of our European kindred
such as
Germanic or Scandinavian (among others)
For
centuries Jesus Christ was depicted by Europeans as one of their own.
Images of Jesus Christ whether in paint or upon stained glass clearly showed Him
(including the apostles, His mother Mary, the women who labored for Christ, and
his followers) as white.
However, today
there is an attempt to undermine the factual evidence that Jesus was
white. Instead we are told that Jesus is a mixture of all races.
Many modern artists attempt to portray Jesus with all of the various
racial characteristics. The
Judeo-Christian preachers today and their anti-Christ rabbi counterparts
argue that Jesus probably had black, tight curly, perhaps even kinky hair.
The historians and archaeologists of today, excluding the ones in the
past, argue he would look like a typical "Israeli" in which he
would look neither black or white, but a dark brown mixture of the two.
The question is what did Jesus Christ really look like? The traditional
view of Europeans hold that he had blond or auburn hair and blue or hazel
eyes. His face was long with high cheek bones (note: The Shroud of Turin),
and he was tall and muscular. This traditional view has been depicted in
Western art for centuries such as in "The Pantocrator" or
"Creator of All," a sixth-century mosaic. Now, however, many are
saying that this white "view" of Jesus by Europeans was only a
testament of the ancient racism of Europeans.
This past Easter, when millions of Christians celebrated Jesus’
resurrection, scientists, historians, and Judeo-Christians collaborated to create a
"new model" for Jesus, which aired around Easter on the
Discovery Channel and PBS. Joe Zias, one of the leading archaeologists in
Israel, who worked on the project, said, "in reconstructing this
head, we are not claiming that this is exactly Jesus’ face, but we are
trying to counteract all of those bad images of blond-haired , blue-eyed
Jesus running around Hollywood productions. He continued and said, "
we know he didn’t have long hair and it wasn’t blond. And he wasn’t
blue eyed." How does he know that?
John Dominic
Crossan, a
"scholar" based in Florida said, "this is a
country of immigrants and now our ethnicity is changing once again. We
have a growing population of Latinos and others. What will Jesus look like
in the future? He certainly will look darker."
Even Rev. D. James Kennedy, the Presbyterian pastor from Ft.
Lauderdale, Florida and T.V. evangelist said, "Nobody really knows
what Christ looked like, and to a very real extent it is irrelevant… The
important thing is that he is the Redeemer and Son of God".
The problem with all these
reconstructions of Jesus and these
Judeo-Christian ministers such as Dr. Kennedy is it is relevant
what he looked like. Jesus was the Redeemer - but to whom? (Note Matt. 1:23
and others)
Although the description of Jesus in some respects is not important,
such as his height, weight, or how long his hair is, what is important is
that He was the Kinsmen Redeemer (Kinsmen: of the same blood) to a certain people – Israel, who now
comprises the Anglo-Saxon -Teutonic and kindred people of Europe. And
Jesus’ racial description identifies the people He belonged to. So in
asking what Jesus looked like is actually asking what does the race he
belonged to by physical birth look like? There is Biblical and
historical evidence that informs us exactly what he (by race) looked
like. And THAT is important. It is the reason the genealogy of Jesus is
given in Matthew and Luke.
BIBLICAL EVIDENCE
Jesus was the direct descendent of Kind David and therefore the
rightful heir of the Israel’s kingdom throne. In I Samuel 16:12, when
Samuel went to anoint David to be the new King of Israel it states,
"And he sent, and brought him in. Now he was ruddy…" In
Webster’s dictionary, ruddy is defined as … redness; akin to red;
having a healthy reddish color. (Even Adam means to "blush" or
" to show redness in the face." This identifies only one race. I’ll
let you figure out which race.) Therefore King David would have been fair
skinned with reddish hair. Not the typical dark Jew
or Arab, as some are now being led to believe. (Some will cite Rahab
(wrongly called a prostitute instead of the important position she held)
and Ruth who are counted among the genealogy of Jesus - claiming that
these two women of God were not Israelites and thus additional proof that
Jesus was not racially pure. Those who make this erroneous claim have been
deceived into believing that the countries in which these women lived
characterize their race. It does not. Both women were Israelites and
followers of Jehovah)
HISTORICAL EVIDENCE
The vast majority of the world is ignorant of the fact that there were
actually eye-witnesses and written accounts of Jesus, His earthly father
Joseph, and His mother Mary. Many of these written accounts are kept in
the Vatican library, which describes what Jesus and Joseph looked like. These written accounts were compiled in The Archko Volume.
In The Archko Volume, we can read where Gamaliel was sent by the
Sanhedrin to interrogate Joseph and Mary in regard to the child Jesus. He
says in regard to Joseph, "his hair looks as though it might have
been dark auburn when young." Later, he talks about Jesus’
description. "His hair is a little more golden than hers (his mother
Mary), though it is as much from sunburn as anything else… His eyes are
large and soft blue, his eyebrows very large." This is a description of a
people that does not represent the people we know as Jews today. This is
not the description of Arabs, blacks, or any other type of people. This is
the description of our ancestors – the white Europeans.
Valleus
Paterculus, a Roman Historian, met and interviewed Jesus and
made a report to Pilate, who in return made a report to Caesar. Paterculus
states, "One day in passing by the place of Siloe, where there was a
great concourse of people, I observed in the midst of the group a young
man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was
told it was Jesus… His golden-colored hair and beard gave his appearance
a celestial aspect… "
Lastly, as we can see, Jesus was a person who resembled a particular
race of people. Only one race has blond, auburn, or red hair, with blue,
green, and hazel eyes. All these characteristics identify
the white race, the true Israel. However, as our nation becomes more
Judiazed and non-white, no longer will our ancestors in the Bible be
depicted as a reflection of us, but will be depicted as a typical
dark mideastern Jew.
Tom Roberts,
editor of the Catholic Reporter said, "artists should feel free to
reinterpret Jesus for each new era." The era that is approaching
and coming upon us is a Jewish era, an era that does not reflect the
traditional Christian morals and values of our people, but is an attempt
to change the core values of our people in preparation of the one world
church.
The fact is Jesus
Christ was a white man. He came to the lost sheep of the House of Israel as
their Kinsman Redeemer. Can anyone of any race follow the teachings of Jesus
Christ? Yes, but it doesn't make them kinsmen. It doesn't give them the
authority to change the historical and correct image of Jesus' white racial
background into their own. And saying that Jesus Christ is white doesn't make a
person an evil hater any more than it would were they to say that George
Washington or Queen Elizabeth is white. They are merely stating the facts.
