I'm a black woman from the West Indies. Unfortunately in today's society, any disagreement or lack of support on certain opinions, agenda, politics etc, is considered racist. Racism does not mean the same anymore, as it has become very political. I care more about facts, truth and Salvation through Jesus Christ. I care not what skin color he was in when on the earth, or what his appearance was. I care that he revealed himself to me and that I accept him.
I always thought that there is no description of Jesus is because Jesus is for everyone. What he looks like isn't important and to try and put him in a specific ethnicity is to make him and his message specifically for those people, which I don’t believe is what he is about. Jesus is for everyone.
If you are from the West Indies, you certainly do not consider yourself "black!" It has been long held and proven by Black Americans that dark skin people from nearly any part of the world INCLUDING America, who are NOT Black Americans, do NOT consider themselves "black," meaning, Black American. People from the West Indies are notoriously known for their making sure they differentiate themselves from Black Americans. So, it's no wonder you hold the opinion people being called out as racists these days are victims of a political agenda. When a Black American points out what he/she believes to be a racist, there is a 99.9 percent chance that the person identified as a racist IS a racist! To be clear, I, as a Black American, do NOT believe Metatron to be racist. I believe his TH-cam posts are intellectual, well researched, and well-articulated. So, before you or anyone else tries to "go there," Don't! My comment here is directed at you and any other person from the West Indies!
@@bearfootbears1891 I am from Africa and have not lived through racism like native blacks although I lived in the USA since 12. I picked on racist quick and sensituve even cut of a friend. He is one of those who is more sublle about being racist. At one point I used to second guess myself and try to give him the benefit of the doubt. He has a white best and had black girlfriend. I am not how did not pick up about his racist side. Then realize some people maybe black but they are oblivious about racism. My judgment is not misguided. It always turn out I was right. The difference between now and before is these days many are covertly racist rather than openly.
Metatron, I shared your last video about the historicity of Jesus with my church youth group because I thought it was interesting and the group leader literally said that she’d love to see you talk about what Jesus would have looked like. Crazy world we live in. Keep up the good work!

The statement "Let's be intellectually HONEST." in a nutshell determines why I have been watching your videos recently. The open minded and purely academic approach to these very volatile subjects is fantastic. You are a brilliant individual, your command of ancient languages is astounding and the source materials you are drawing from are most impressive. I'm very grateful to have discovered this channel.
@@allisone4370 That's not what the actual passage said. Quote it correctly and in context. Also, you mentioned chapter 1 verse 4 which says nothing. You can't take one passage and make an entire doctrine out of it, which is what you're doing. The other verses you mentioned are from the perspective of a future bride for the king and she's describing herself...not all of Isreal. She also reasons that it was due to being under the sun rather than her actual skin color, but even if she was born black, she wouldn't need to reference it if that was the common skin color. A group of blacks or whites or whatever aren't going to feel the need to tell the very same group of people their skin color. Don't be one of those people obsessed with everything needing to be black. God made all colors within ONE human race.
WELL I AM BLACK ..and am enjoying watching your videos ..dont mind the people just do Gods work..your videos are helpful..thank you may THA LORD JESUS CHRIST BLESS YOU
"Let's be intellectually honest." I love how you highlighted this. We do all have ideas that we love and we don't want to give them up. Your videos are just so balanced, fair, and well documented. Thanks.
What you thought is the truth is actually a dirty rotten lie. Why don't you do some personal investigation instead of taking this guy's words as the truth?
@@hasheemadamson4117 - Sorry Hasheem, the people of the Jewish faith are “still waiting for the Messiah.” It’s the 21st Century, and they are still waiting. Accept the fact that He came, and left this Earth for now. Sorry, your people missed him. The Talmud mentions YESHUA, (ISSA) and his ACTS. Rabbis do not deny his existence, they just don’t accept him as the Messiah.
@@710MaryJane 😂😂😂 You are funny, I will give you that but did I give you the impression that I believe or trust any rabbi? You mentioned the Talmud so I guess maybe you have read it. Bcuz in all the three books of the Abrahamic religions The Creator made it clear that no one has the power to know when this world will end, you see. So therefore no one really knows the exact date or century that the Messiah will return. No one knows it. Not you and not me or anyone else. I am surprised you seem not to know that fact. You and I will be dead probably hundreds of thousands of years before that will happen. So to even mention the fact that we are in the 20th century and he is still not here shows how shallow your knowledge is in this matters. Let me tell you something, my people where here when the beginning began. And we will surely be here when the end comes, you can bet your life on that, my dear Mary Jane. You see, the world's climate is changing and the world is getting hotter and hotter. Some people are not built to withstand that but we on the other hand are SA - RA which in ancient Khemet (egypt) means children of RA( children of the sun). Some people can't stand the sun bcuz of their skin color so they are the ones in danger of extinction not us. We were built to withstand the sun thanks to The Creator who made us so. The Talmud is not a book that I trust to begin with. I know that, just like the Bible it has been tampered with and corrupted by the wazungus. You see, before the arrival of the Messiah my people will have to go through a process. One of the process or signs is that we will start waking up from our slumber ( ignorance of self) and realizing who we truly are. And that process has already began. It's a slow process but it's already in motion and the signs are everywhere. The wheels of change are in motion and there's nothing that can stop it. May Allah, God, Dios, Awuradi Nyankupon, uMvelinqangi Bless Africa Always. Hotep 🙏🏿
All I can say is that I have liked your teachings so very much. You don't insult or hurt or despise anyone or your teachings do not aim at demeaning anyone. Keep it up. I like the way you draw your conclusion. Looking forward to seeing you in another video. I am ready and eager waiting for it.
The fact that Metatron, probably one of the most unbiased people I have encountered on TH-cam, gets called a racist by some, goes to show how ignorant people can be.
Honestly, I'm getting the feeling that people are starting to use the word too losely, and it's just starting to lose its meaning. Don't get me wrong. If someone is being a scumbag then they deserve to be called what they are, but come on guys.
the problem with current political environment is that imbeciles have been given a voice... Now, people like Metatron have their hands full trying to respond to those imbeciles otherwise he might be put into a category from which he will never be able to exit...
I think it's not really an issue as of late... everyone has internet, from the smartest to the dumbest of people out there and any one of them could call you a racist, at this point only you can really find if you are or are not a racist by disecting your actions as people just throw those words out like "I don't like your opinion so I call you something I don't like" or something like that.

I've traveled quite a bit, been to a lot of churches and I have never met a Christian who thought Jesus was actually blonde and blue eyed. We generally know that those are later artistic depictions. Maybe it's just my denomination (Baptist) but we don't hang pictures of Jesus, the only depictions we have are usually cartoon type drawings for kids. We deliberately avoid pictures because that misses the point and especially in a very diverse culture it can be a distraction
Caucasian is a term used to describe people of European, Middle Eastern, or North African ancestry. It's often used in the United States as a synonym for "white". However, the term has been criticized and some say it's problematic. More accurate terms include "European-American".    The term Caucasian comes from racial scientists who classified people based on physical traits, such as light skin pigmentation. This classification created a racial hierarchy with Western Europeans at the top.
Idk probably like a Levantine person, as in, Mediterranean. Wasn't some scandanavian looking blue eyes dude but he wasn't black or likely all that dark either. I mean, Bashar Al Assad is levantine and that guy is lighter than Michael Knowles.
Lebanese people are the living descendants of canaanites. They are hence the closest thing we have on ancient Hebrew phenotype. In other words kind of light skinned middle eastern dudes with mostly brown or black hair and dark eyes with few exceptions.
@Commie Destroyer Yeah. It's something a lot of people don't realize, and it's crazy to think of how much the Arab expansion changed the whole appearance and culture of people all across the middle east and Mediterranean.
I’ve been in Jesus’s presence His voice is full of kindness and love, I was sick in bed and He stood by my bed I could not lift my head because of extreme pain so I never saw his face but his voice just spoke of love and caring ! He asked me what I wanted as tears streamed down my face I said please take this pain away I awoke next morning and was fine ! Going for major surgery years later I was in operation room and panicking “ Jesus where are you ? You said you would be with me ! “ I am here and a undescribable light glowed in the corner peace fell over me and I awoke hours later in recovery! Now I am able as a more mature Christian to know He is always with me in times of need and I have nothing to fear !
@@rosiemayrod it was actually 50 years ago. I have written my experience in one of these topics. It was real . But the best thing is , I don’t have to prove it.
Fun fact: It's common for art work of Jesus to depict him as the race of the artist who made it or the local race. There's art work depicting him as many different races.
@@iacobushadrianus7889 Errr... Wha? I mean, Christianity has been one of the most evangelistic beliefs. Usually spread by people, to other people. Instead of somehow just... Idk, falling from the sky, I guess? How would you think a worldwide belief would spread? Usually it has to be spread through people, and then that means that the people it's being spread to are being exposed to other peoples, with different characteristics, what we call different ethnicity or race. So... Yeah. Idk.
Also, what I just said might explain why Jesus has continued to be represented as a white bearded man. Cause the missionaries would probably be beared white men. So you know... Bearded white guys' religion, the main guy... Hmm... Yeah let's make him white and... Oh hey, let's give him a beard too.
One of the local churches does a yearly display of Nativity sets. There's a section of versions from around the world. Same basic idea: Joseph, Mary, and baby Jesus in a shelter. But the way each person or the setting was depicted differed wildly.
@@plzletmebefrank what you are saying can be applied to the modern world. But in ancient and medieval times, it wasn't unusual that an artist would have lived all of his life in the same region, and never meet, or meet few times in his lifespan people of different races
This is probably the best history channel I've ever seen on TH-cam! This is exactly what modern discussion should be like, getting the facts straight and whenever something is ambiguous, give your own conclusions in a respectful way, instead we have colleges that teach students what to think and not HOW TO THINK, so, whenever someone gives them a factual counterargument, they throw a temper tantrum like little children. Congratulations and keep up the good work!

@@coreybul There never was multiple Gospels by multiple authors. The Gospel was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.

Yes, reminds me of my professor who taught exegesis and theology of the new testament. She was a great professor, miss her classes. Way to go, that's how we were taught how it should be done!
@@KillAllCops88 It is still written by people who used their background and surroundings. Originally i would say there were some oral traditions for the old testament who were then put on paper by different people. Thats the reason for different versions of the same stories. they took from different traditions and the editors did not want to confront any of the directions. For later happenings they formed stories on purpose, sometimes to integrate people and give them space in the forming legend of "the people". The tribe Dan f.e. was most probably a philistine group. Simson with the hair and blunt weapon and the hard jobs to work reminds of Hercules or Thor, who have the same indo-european origin. My opinion.
@@paladinheadquarters7776 Indeed, If I'm not mistaken they were Sanhedrim's guards. According to the account of the gospel of John there was a (Roman) cohort present in the taking of Jesus, nonetheless. Even though, as far as I know, there was no reason for Roman soldiers to be there, for Pilate never saw Jesus as a real threat.
@@lucarod8877 Could a Roman soldier been potentially present to keep an eye on the Sanhedren’s “soldiers” rather than Jesus? After all, to the Romans, non-Roman soldiers were the potential threat rather than Jesus himself?
I remember asking one of my church pastors "What did he look like?" He responded "Does it really matter? We follow him because of his teachings & that he is the savior. What he looks like is secondary to what he taught & did for us." That response hit me hard. It was in that moment I realized that I was thinking about things that didn't matter as much. I remember learning about why Jesus is depicted the way he is & I am glad I stumbled upon your video. I also remember going to a church in Korea where a painting depicted Jesus & the apostles as Korean. In Korean hanboks & everything.
Exactly! THIS is why the lord says NEVER MAKE IMAGES OF ANYTHING ABOVE, ON OR BELOW THE SEA AND BOW DOWN TO IT AND/OR WORSHIP IT!

IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR HE IS SPIRIT AND A GREAT BLAZE OF BLOOD & FIRE THAT CREATES LIFE!
@@destinationfer2 in my religion is a sin to even imagine how our prophet looks, nevermind making a painting about how he looked because that’s not important
@@lltipsy i agree! This is why you cant trust any administration religion like Catholic or Mormon churches! Only The Bible is 100% correct and its many missing books!

Only he God can create life and we all come from the seed of Noah and his great Father Adam! With time any mans seed can turn lighter or darker.

Hello Cindy and thank you very much for subscribing, I appreciate. Welcome to the community of noble ones. In the next few days, I'll be releasing a highly detailed video on the Shroud of Turin, which might interest you. Have a great day.
A complete REFUTAL of Metatron’s video #1.He said nonbias but immediately after he stated that Jesus is not black and trying to refute rev 1. #2. He started to trace Jesus’s ethnicity from 2,000 years ago instead of going back to genesis or at least from Noah. #3. Then he said he’s going to start from a clean slate without any personal preferences and image expectation when not even a second before, he said that Jesus isn’t black like the Africans. He continues to say if Jesus is black, brown etc., it wouldn’t matter to him when he already build up an image in his mind what Jesus isn’t and who he wants Jesus to be, I believe that’s CONFIRMATION BIAS. Lol, lol, I really have to laugh because this racist, bias guy is funny. #4. He said the governing changed the image of Jesus Christ to look like them and not the governed. I couldn’t agree more with him on this one because that’s exactly why Jesus is not portrayed as his correct color, black, the governed. Caucasians governing and blacks are governed. #5. Nobody believes that Jesus was African, he was not a Canaanite or Kushite, He is a Hebrew Israelite. The problem is that you fail to realize that the biblical and historical Hebrew Israelites were black just like the Hamites. In Gen 42:7-8 Joseph ONLY changed his voice and his brothers didn’t recognize him but he recognized them. If Joseph was Caucasian he would have stand out amongst the other Egyptians but he was black just like the ancient Egyptians and that’s why he could change his voice and not being recognized by his brothers. In theology, there is a thing call “analogy of faith” where you compare scripture to scripture in order to arrive at a conclusion because all scriptures are harmoniously united and not contradictory. Therefore , In order to understand Revelations 1:14 you have to read Daniel 7:9 KJV the Ancient of days (God Almighty Jesus Christ) garment as white as snow, the hair of His head LIKE THE PURE WOOL (Black man’s hair texture). #6. Jesus looked different after his resurrection doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a body because he ate with the disciples after his resurrection. Him being God can cause them not to recognize him. #7. Like I said before, you can’t tell what Jesus looked like by only knowing what Galilean men in the first century looked like. If that’s the case I can just say Jesus was black like the men in Galilee at that time because all the Jews in Galilee were black.However, there were different ethnicities in Galilee at the time of Jesus. Also, how do we know that those men were actually from Galilee and not imposters from the governing. Just like how he said the Romans changed the image of Jesus, that’s the same way we cannot trust your so-called iconography, etc. It’s like saying, I can know what Martin L King looked like by looking at what men in Tennessee looked like in the 19th century. This is if I didn’t know what he looks like. #8. The gospels weren’t written in the first century, according to most theologians, 80% of the New Testament manuscript dated to the 5th century or later with the oldest, the single most authenticated fragment, papyrus 52, dated to the mid 2nd century. It wouldn’t make no sense for Judas to say Jesus looked like the black guy when Jesus Christ and the 12 tribes of Israel are all Black. lol, lol, this guy continues to make me laugh. You are confusing the way how people in that area looked today with the biblical and historical people in that area. Those coins doesn’t prove anything, how do you know that the person on the coin bending his knees were Jews? Did the coin say they were Jews or you assumed they were Jews? Also how do we know that those coins were from the first century for sure. The person kneeling down wasn’t even bowing down in front of the roman Soilder on the coin. Those so call pictures of Jews in the temple was painted by the governing Caucasian and not the governed blacks (Jews). #9. You are using proof from a modern day Caucasian Israeli biohistorian, it’s like the police investigating themselves, what a joke, no independence. Jesus looked nothing like the modern day Iraqi, he was an Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah. The modern day people in that region are hybrid , mixture of the original inhabitants of the land (blacks) and Caucasian Romans, Greeks and Arabs due to the invasions. That land is the biblical Canaan, promised land. Canaan father is Cush/Ethiopia (burn face, black face people), Ham means Hot and a word means BLACK. Abraham’s grandfather and brother both named Nahor, descendant of Shem comes from the Hebrew root word “Harar”which also means burn, Charred or Hot for Black. That’s why Nahor is a slang for Nigger. Acts 13:1 KJV version: Barnabas and Simeon was also called Niger (BLACK in Greek and Latin). Songs of Solomon 1:5 “I am BLACK but comely (beautiful)”, Job 30:30 Job said “My skin is BLACK”. Daniel 7:9 said the Ancient of days, Jesus Christ which is the same Alpha and Omega in Rev chapter 1, His hair is as “PURE WOOL” and if you study hair genetics, you would learned that wool hair is EXCLUSIVE to BLACK people and if a Caucasian person have wool hair it’s considered a disorder calls “wooly hair syndrome” and I’m certain Jesus Christ didn’t have a disorder. Please see below for a reference to the name NAHOR from naming.net www.nameaning.net/both/Nahor Cush or Ethiopia had a son name Nimrod who’s kingdom was Babel/Babylon or Chaldea Chaldeans , Gen 10:8-12, so the Chaldeans/Babylonians were also black like their father and Granfather Nimrod and Ethiopia respectively. And guess what, Abraham was BORN in Ur of Chaldea/Babylon. So we can conclude again that Abraham was an Ethiopian Hebrew , Genesis 14:13. Judean men in biblical times were black like there ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob according to scriptures and ancient history. Therefore we can conclude that metatron research and description is highly flawed, biased and racist. I chose to believe what the scriptures says over what man says!!!
@@levite2059 Those in Israel today are not mixtures. They are from the Russian steps and surrounding areas. Their Kingdom was CONVERTED to Judaism in the 700s.
Sorry to burst y’all bubbles but the Bible was completely false. It was just weirdos making up stories because, again, they were kind of out of their mind. If the Bible is real.. why hasn’t there been a revised copy by now? How come none of the crazy things they said they did back then like walk on water, Jesus being resurrected, etc. how come we haven’t seen anybody do any of those things in real life? Stop believing a damn fairy tell kids.
@@levite2059 You do realise that Jesus was not in the old testament, right? Pre christianity the trinity did not exist and the Jews had no concept of the son of god. Whatever is in the old testament is a moot point. If he actually existed (ie was a real historical figure) then he would be much the same as the peoples of the Levant at that time. Worrying about color seems to be a very modern day thing, who cares and why? and what difference does it make to his message ? Instead it seems to be something to divide people not unite them.
A not-so-hidden-hint about Christ's outward appearance and His lack of "sticking out from the crowd" is found in Isaiah 53:2b: "...he hath no form or comeliness; and when we see him, _there is_ no beauty that we should desire him." So right there I could have told you that He looked like an average Jewish man of the time period.
This argument is interesting but it's really only persuasive to Christians. If you're not Christian, why would you believe Isaiah - a Jewish prophet from 700-something BC - was talking about Jesus?
@@bobisallright No, even as a Christian, that should be a very relevant question. Especially as a Christian, I'd argue. How do we know Isaiah was referring to Jesus in that passage? Context clues, I suppose. Isaiah was probably clear about who he was talking about. I suspect all the surrounding paragraphs concerned the same person, and made it known who this person was. It sounds to me that Isaiah was referring to the coming Messiah. If Jesus was in fact that messiah, then the passage can only refer to Jesus. There the messiah is described as a regular looking jew. Therefore, Jesus would have to look like a regular jew, in order to qualify as messiah, according to Isaiah. Very helpful in nailing down the messiah's appearance, and by extension Jesus's. Religious or not. And none of that changes whether you're a Christian, Atheist or Buddhist. The reader's religion is irrelevant. If Isaiah in fact mentions the Messiah at line 53 of the book, then the Messiah is mentioned by Isaiah at line 53. Period. Your atheism be damned. All your atheism can do is classify the subject as fiction. All the atheism in the world couldn't change the contents of Line 53. It says what it says, true or not. Likewise, if Harry escapes Voldemort at the end of Chapter 32, then Harry escapes Voldemort at ch32, fiction or not. Religious or not. And no amount of belief or disbelief can ever change the ending of Ch32, fiction or not. It's irrelevant to the in-universe canon. And I am not claiming that it's impossible to change the text of the Bible. That's been done like a million times over the centuries. I am merely clarifying the effect of Atheism on biblical matters.
@@mayanboricua he wasn’t referring to Jesus. He lived 700 years before him if Jesus ever even existed. Religion is entirely man-made. He imagined their savior as a completely average, unremarkable man. Shocker. Imagine giving a very precise description of what your savior will look like. You’d have a hard time trying to fit anyone into that box. Broad descriptions are statistically the easiest to fulfill. You give the impression of providing details when in fact you speak in generalities.
I'm a Christian and this is brilliant. I love ýour methodology. You and I love the truth and have the integrity and to go searching. You aren't afraid to present actual fact.
He's actually come out as Christian and even has a link to a private video in why he's become a believer. In spite of that he's pretty dead and does most of his work through actual historical facts and logic.
I saw in another video that talked about a letter Pilate wrote to Ceasar about Jesus, that Pilate had seen a young man with golden hair, golden beard, and blue eyes leaning against a tree as he preached to a crowd. Pilate asked who the young man was, and someone told Pilate that the young man was Jesus of Nazareth. But the narrator also said he wasn't sure how reliable the letter actually was. But I found that bit if information interesting.
For me being a non native English speaker it was very easy to follow and understand your explanations. My compliments. Very interesting and educational

That land is the biblical Canaan, promised land. Canaan father is Cush/Ethiopia (burn face, black face people), Ham means Hot and a word means BLACK. Abraham’s grandfather and brother both named Nahor, descendant of Shem comes from the Hebrew root word “Harar”which also means burn, Charred or Hot for Black. That’s why Nahor is a slang for Nigger. Acts 13:1 KJV version: Barnabas and Simeon was also called Niger (BLACK in Greek and Latin). Songs of Solomon 1:5 “I am BLACK but comely (beautiful)”, Job 30:30 Job said “My skin is BLACK”. Daniel 7:9 said the Ancient of days, Jesus Christ which is the same Alpha and Omega in Rev chapter 1, His hair is as “PURE WOOL” and if you study hair genetics, you would learned that wool hair is EXCLUSIVE to BLACK people and if a Caucasian person have wool hair it’s considered a disorder calls “wooly hair syndrome” and I’m certain Jesus Christ didn’t have a disorder. Please see below for a reference to the name NAHOR from naming.net www.nameaning.net/both/Nahor Cush or Ethiopia had a son name Nimrod who’s kingdom was Babel/Babylon or Chaldea Chaldeans , Gen 10:8-12, so the Chaldeans/Babylonians were also black like their father and Granfather Nimrod and Ethiopia respectively. And guess what, Abraham was BORN in Ur of Chaldea/Babylon. So we can conclude again that Abraham was an Ethiopian Hebrew , Genesis 14:13. Judean men in biblical times were black like their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob according to scriptures and ancient history. Therefore we can conclude that metatron research and description is highly flawed, biased and raciest. I chose to believe what the scriptures says over what man says!!!
@@levite2059 Cush is from Ham's line, Cush was also the forefather of the ancient Egyptians via his son Mizraim. Mesopotamia was the land given to Shem's people, so Nimrod was there against Gods will, he was rebellious against God. The book of Jubilees is more in detail about this, but you can also find this in your bible.
@@levite2059 I'm sorry, you are correct on this. Yet, the Chaldeans were from Shem, Cushites from Ham. Just because Nimrod was ruling in Mesopotamia, it doesn't make him a Shemite...

🤣 Yeah, and in a few parts of the video, I think it is very much intentional, to illustrate that Jesus was just a guy. A very theocratic-politically active guy, who died for his cause. He technically wasn't even the main guy in the movement, John the Baptist was...
Welcome to the era of "there is no races" but BLM needs races to exist so that they can discriminate and be victims at the same time. But nobody is expecting logic from leftists since logic is a "white construct" and racist therefor.
The betrayal of Judas shows exactly that He looked like His disciples. He was not easily identifiable from the rest. Thank you for your in depth analysis. Keep it up.
@Brian Liew after a quick research Jesus was common in Mexico due to the Catholic religion conversion....and to be closer to God and to signify a child being raised in the faith. Such as many women named Maria. Now I have several women in my family named Maria but we are not from Mexico, Mexican citizen nor even hispanic.
I have common brown eyes and in my family there are a lot of very less common blue eyes. All this "it was common..." means nothing when you are talking of a single person!
Which is funny, because as someone who more than dabbles in English etymology, knowing the Greek and Latin roots of the English words that have them and word structure using them (prefixes, suffixes, et cetera) has helped me effectively build an amateur understanding of Greek and Latin by sheer exposure.
ANY translation between languages are unreliable. And when you go between texts that are nearly 2000 years and today, there are more differences to take into account. Like what colours there are words for. Like Black is not a known colour in Scandinavia during Viking age. They said Blue instead. And there are different cultural expressions, that you have to know if you shall do a proper translation. In short, translation is hard, and translation makes differences to the text.
@@AndersJackson its not a matter of simple words like the colours or sth like this... its because greek has more words about high meanings and more different words than the english translations can offer.

@@christianlenik5307right, but as populations left Africa their skin color changes based on natural selection. The Jews of the New Testament times looked like modern day mizrahi Jews, which in a modern American parlance means they look Arab. Not black or white.
As a black woman, I never really cared what Jesus looked like but assumed he would just look like the people who are over that way. Of course, people migrate over thousands of years in a certain area but I think generally they have olive/brown skin in the Middle East perhaps...
You have said it perfectly well. Jesus must have looked like his own kind. A Middle Eastern guy with rather a woolly dark hair that turned white because of aging or the stress he faced in those days. Nonetheless, people should focus on the peace that he tried to teach when he came down the earth. Let's stop killing God's children all over the globe.✌️🙏
Uh uh....and where is this "middle east"? Was it not in the head of some European man? (english), I believe. The same Europeans who have corrupted absolutely everything they touch in order to place themselves on the top because of white supremacy born out of racism that doesn't exist. This is how Jesus became hippy Mark from the sales department. That is a crime and anyone who does believe in christ, God should not just be like "meh, I dont care what he looks like" that's the same attitude that has helped to destroy the faith and leave this absolute mess in 2024.
NE AFRICA was renamed the Middle Eastern & olive tone would make you either green or black not high yellow like those ppl today. The question is how did the Eberites renamed Hebrews leave Mizraim-Egypt with dark skin & come back YT & why did America put YT ppl in ISREAL in 1948 when Due 28:68 states differently
I absolutely love the historical way you engage in these topics, as a secular autistic person I really love theology and the historicity of varying things in regards thereto.
@@ThxGod_ItsOver That's an oversimplification. Light genes date back hundreds of thousands of years. The darkest genes were only expressed more strongly much more recently through eastern humans migrating back into africa. Earliest humans that migrated out of africa carried many of the genes for light and dark skin tones. To claim that all humans were dark until white skin evolved as a mutation is a statement that shows lack of expertise on the subject.
@@Unethical.FandubsGames My understanding of this is that while the potential for both light and dark skin has always existed, anywhere more protection from the sun was needed dark skin slowly became the dominant color spectrum because of the need for melatonin in the skin. In other areas where dark skin was not needed, light skin slowly became the dominant color spectrum.
@Richard L Jones that's silly. Humans would need more melanin in Equatorial regions (Africa or otherwise) because the Sun's radiation is stronger there and more dangerous to DNA. Melanin-production is a survival mechanism at the genetic level due to the environment. Do research on how melanin is protective against UVA/UVB radiation because you don't have a clue at all.
I enjoy this man's videos because they are educational. They're not political. They don't seem to hold an agenda other than get the truth out there. Which I truly appreciate in today's world. Thank you for your information. You are doing a wonderful job and I appreciate it.
There never was multiple Gospels by multiple authors. The Gospel was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.
I gotta say as a Christian and a huge history buff of biblical and early American history. I really love how you break down scripture with accordance with historical and cultural accuracy. This being said I challenge you to watch and perhaps review the historical, cultural and perhaps biblical accuracy of The Chosen why ? Because the writers and cast tries to bring in historical, cultural and biblical accuracy into the show and perhaps may intrigue you. Keep up the amazing work.
@The Dúnedain I don't everyone is guilty in grammer errors. From the physical appearance of Jesus I personally believe the Chosen's version of Christ is the most accurate in terms of historical and cultural context.
Here is a COMPLETE point by point refutal of Metatron’s video: #1. He said nonbias but immediately after, he stated that Jesus is not black and trying to refute Revelation 1. #2. He started to trace Jesus’s ethnicity from 2,000 years ago instead of going back to Noah or at least from Abraham. #3. Then he said he’s going to start from a clean slate without any personal preferences and image expectation when not even a second before, he said that Jesus isn’t black like the Africans. He continues to say if Jesus is black, brown etc., it wouldn’t matter to him when he already build up an image in his mind what Jesus isn’t and who he wants Jesus to be, I believe that’s CONFIRMATION BIAS. Lol, lol, I really have to laugh because this racist, bias guy is funny. #4. He said the governing changed the image of Jesus Christ to look like them and not the governed. I couldn’t agree more with him on this one because that’s exactly why Jesus is not portrayed as his correct color, black, the governed. Caucasians governing and blacks are governed. #5. Nobody believes that Jesus was African, he was not a Canaanite or Kushite, He is a Hebrew Israelite. The problem is that you fail to realize that the biblical and historical Hebrew Israelites were black just like the Hamites. In Gen 42:7-8 Joseph ONLY changed his voice and his brothers didn’t recognize him but he recognized them. If Joseph was Caucasian he would have stand out amongst the other Egyptians but he was black just like the ancient Egyptians and that’s why he could change his voice and not being recognized by his brothers. In theology, there is a thing call “analogy of faith” where you compare scripture to scripture in order to arrive at a conclusion because all scriptures are harmoniously united and not contradictory. Therefore , In order to understand Revelations 1:14 you have to read Daniel 7:9 KJV the Ancient of days (God Almighty Jesus Christ) garment as white as snow, the hair of His head LIKE THE PURE WOOL (Black man’s hair texture). #6. Jesus looked different after his resurrection doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a body because he ate with the disciples after his resurrection. Him being God can cause them not to recognize him. #7. Like I said before, you can’t tell what Jesus looked like by only knowing what Galilean men in the first century looked like. If that’s the case I can just say Jesus was black like the men in Galilee at that time because all the Jews in Galilee were black.However, there were different ethnicities in Galilee at the time of Jesus. Also, how do we know that those men were actually from Galilee and not imposters from the governing. Just like how he said the Romans changed the image of Jesus, that’s the same way we cannot trust your so-called iconography, etc. It’s like saying, I can know what Martin L King looked like by looking at what men in Tennessee looked like in the 19th century. This is if I didn’t know what he looks like. #8. The gospels weren’t written in the first century, according to most theologians, 80% of the New Testament manuscript dated to the 5th century or later with the oldest, the single most authenticated fragment, papyrus 52, dated to the mid 2nd century. It wouldn’t make no sense for Judas to say Jesus looked like the black guy when Jesus Christ and the 12 tribes of Israel are all Black. lol, lol, this guy continues to make me laugh. You are confusing the way how people in that area looked today with the biblical and historical people in that area. Those coins doesn’t prove anything, how do you know that the person on the coin bending his knees were Jews? Did the coin say they were Jews or you assumed they were Jews? Also how do we know that those coins were from the first century for sure. The person kneeling down wasn’t even bowing down in front of the roman Soilder on the coin. Those so call pictures of Jews in the temple was painted by the governing Caucasian and not the governed blacks (Jews). #9. You are using proof from a modern day Caucasian Israeli biohistorian, it’s like the police investigating themselves, what a joke, no independence. Jesus looked nothing like the modern day Iraqi, he was an Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah. The modern day people in that region are hybrid , mixture of the original inhabitants of the land (blacks) and Caucasian Romans, Greeks and Arabs due to the invasions.

@@levite2059 "I follow the scripture" 2nd point tries to say Jesus is made of man and not god. Historical Israel is in the same melting pot that Egypt and other middle eastern nations mentioned in the bible are. Not south or even central africa. MLK JR was also born in an era well after migration boomed and cameras existed. Not only could that not work for a 20th century figure, it's a terrible comparison.

I have been watching your videos sometime, and i am a student of history, cultural ethnography and also theology and i must say that i have been astounded and drawn in by your ability to use these elements along with objectivity to elevate, inspire and educate. Too few of you in the world my wise one. Metatron, keep doing what you're doing.
Isaiah 53 : 2 says something of the sort of: "He didn’t have any beauty or majesty that made us notice him. There wasn’t anything special about the way he looked that drew us to him." I take that to mean he was your basic, average looking Jewish man that more or less blended in with the other Jews of the time. Not that it matters, but I take it to mean he should have looked like most any other guy from his time and region. The Judas kiss to identify him you mention is excellent support for that idea.
I was thinking about that verse too but forgot where it was. Thanks. Question: Did the narrator (sorry, I don't know his name - my first time watching him - but I loved this video and have subscribed), did he show a picture of an average Jewish man of the time, i.e., what Jesus looked like? I can go through this again and check. Sorry if he did show such a person and I missed it. Thanks. :)

Just one itsy bitsy thing. Having a Roman soldier tell it? Not that I mind because I know the context but having 'the guys that killed him' tell it does feel a bit in your face.
@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese The fact that anyone even needs to ask the question based on the geography of where these events took place is even more hilarious. He was brown, not white, not black. He looked like an Iraqi Jew. Obvious facts simply from looking the people who live over there. Nevertheless, the "secular academic" doesn't trust tradition. The "secular academic" requires EVIDENCE, and it is the "secular academics" that ultimately are responsible for your privilege to make this statement and send it all over the world to people you will never see or meet. Without "secular academics" there is no methodological naturalist movement in science (an attempt to describe the natural laws systematically without appealing to magic). Without a methodological naturalist movement in science, there is no Isaac Newton, no Faraday, no Guass, no Maxwell, no Babbage (created the first computer - and also a proponent of natural theology, the idea that God is revealed through his created laws, and no "contrivances" e.g., no magic or revelation, is necessary to believe in God or for creation outside of the creation of the laws themselves), etc. And why? Why was methodological naturalism necessary for this? Because choosing to explain things by "God did it" ends the line of questioning and cuts off any possibility of finding repeatable, predictable results that can explain the phenomenon in question. In other words, _you can't learn anything by just saying "God did it" and not trying to find a mechanistic explanation!_ That doesn't mean God doesn't exist, which for some reason you people tend to assume. It simply means that the best way to find out about the natural world is to try to understand it with the things that are natural.
@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese Sorry about you being censored. TH-cam has a weird spam algorithm. It gets me as well. I do not consider what I said as a straw man, but it's possible I misunderstood what you were saying. 1. Maybe we should establish what we respectively mean by "secular academics." I am referring academics who employ a naturalist method (the scientific method), one that is and has for hundreds of years been used by both atheists and theists alike. 2. See 1. 3. I didn't say "Methodological science," I said "Methodological naturalism." More importantly, what _evidence_ do you have besides your claims that the methodological, naturalist system we call "science" existed before the likes of Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo? (especially Galileo, who began the tradition of heavily weighing observation over reason)? Prior to them, "science" was mostly deductive. Modern science is _inductive,_ and when we say "science," it is modern science we are referring to. 4. I dispute that modern science came out of alchemy. If it came from any pseudoscience, it was _astrology_ (note that Kepler was an astrologist as well as an astronomer [and the line between them was blurred at the time], and both Galileo and Copernicus studied astrology). But that's not what made it modern science. Modern science ultimately owes its existence to the philosophical shift from pure deductive reason as a means to understand the world (Plato) to _inductive_ reasoning to understand the world (thanks in large part to Galileo). Alchemy was just the precursor to chemistry, and it was in fact the invention of modern _inductive_ science that eventually caused alchemy to be replaced by chemistry (and the same with astrology and astronomy). But I will say that alchemy was always in part inductive to begin with. It wasn't until the systematic naturalist methods pioneered by the likes of Galileo and Newton that all the extraneous aspects of alchemy were finally put to bed and modern chemistry birthed (notably, 1661 with Boyle). The major difference between the alchemy and chemistry is, of course, the scientific method - something which simply _did not exist_ as we know it until a few hundred years ago. Alchemy lived on for some time, if I'm not mistaken, but it didn't and still doesn't fit into what we would call a science (naturalistic, methodological, _inductive_ exploration and explanation of the world). Neither does astrology, which was slowly siphoned away out of astronomy. But, my point here is that the major birth-givers of science (which I argue are Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo) were more active in astronomy and astrology than alchemy and chemistry. 5. If it was wrong, my apologies. When someone complains about secular methodological inquiry, they are usually of the "god did it" camp. It was an assumption. 6. Natural theology cannot be a non-sequitur because natural theology is not part of an argument. It is neither a conclusion nor a statement of fact, nor a hypothesis, nor anything of the sort. It's just an _ideology_ influencing theology, one focused on proving religious truths by rational arguments and observation rather than revelation, so I'm not really sure what you mean here. What do you mean by "natural theology is a non-sequitur?"
The science fiction author Robert Heinlein had one of his characters say that Jesus would have been a hearty strong man, because he was a carpenter. There were only primitive tools. You would need a lot of muscles to be a carpenter back then. His character questioned why Jesus was always depicted as skinny and frail. I think this makes a lot of sense.
As a Black man and member of the Body of Hamashiach, I found your video very honest having no racial bias at all. I appreciate the academic effort as well. Thank you!
revbq so where does "racial bias" have to do with how Jesus looked.So you've never seen what Jesus looked like?All you have to do is type in "image on Shroud of Turin" here on youtube.You can see all the images you want of Jesus,His face and torso front and back.This was the burial shroud Jesus after His death.The image was formed due to a radiant burst of light when Jesus was resurrectied from the dead after three days.There are even full 3D statues of Jesus made from the image on the Shroud.

@@TheRossilliniThanks for the reply but if it was dated 3000 years ago it proves it cannot be Christ correct? That would predate every one in Yeshua's time by a 1000yrs.
Judas kiss proves that Jesus looked similar to the other Galileans. OR perhaps, Jesus looked liked ONE of them, the apostle Thomas. The word "Thomas" means "twin". Maybe Thonas was a twin of some random guy; maybe his uncle was a twin and he was named after the uncle; maybe he just looked a bit like Jesus, so they called him "Twin" as a pune. Best of all consider Hercules and Iphicles; Zeus and Alcmene begat Herakles, Alcmene begat Iphicles with her own husband. Maybe Thomas is the son of Joseph and blessed virgin Mary.
Or at least his disciples, who spent an inordinate amount of time around Jesus and may or may not have also adopted similar choices regarding their appearances. We really don't know. Obviously Jesus looked ethnically similar to other Galileans too, but in terms of other aspects of his appearance, there's just not enough data.
And Galileans probably looked like any regular person from the middle East....so if anything Jesus looked Middle Eastern either like a semite or Arab....I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to understand this, he was born and lived in the middle East....so if course he would've looked like people from there
My brother-in-law thought Jesus was black. Because some "teacher" in the school he'd attended said that, based on the Book of the Revelation saying his hair was like wool (reading it, it's more about his shining appearance, so it's not saying that he's of African descent, it's more about white, shiny. Like wool.) Of course, my brother-in-law was an "independent fundamental Baptist," not really as old a denomination as some believe, and IMO, the more recent the denomination, the less educated they become.

Thanks for the well research video. As a Christian, I’ve researched most of the stuff myself quite a bit and came to almost exactly the same conclusion. And I don’t bring that up as confirmation bias as an interesting fact that this is one of your first videos, I ever listen to, and that two people for me greatly different backgrounds, can still come to the same conclusion when researching what documents their art to look at.
Agreed, and I'd love to share the video with a certain pastor of a certain church I was attending once. The pastor went on a sermon about how Jesus had short hair and never drank alcohol of any kind - on and on grasping at scriptures (straws) for half an hour - and I'm just sitting there stewing in silence trying my best not to say anything. Oh and I should've mentioned that half the women present had extremely short hair, just like all of the men, with the exception of the pastor's son whose hair is maybe 6 inches long. Oh and then there's me, and I haven't even trimmed my hair in a decade...
There is a line from, "Indiana Jones and the last crusade" where he is asked, "do you seek the grail for God's glory or yours?" This is the same issue I see with a lot of people trying to determine what Jesus looked like. They're not seeking it for his glory but their own. I think you did a great job of being very fair in your research from an academic and intellectual perspective. I think the fact really remains it doesn't matter because Jesus wasn't sent here to only save a skin tone but our souls.
Heres the problem with that to me what was being seemed when jesus was painted as a white surfer dude....black slaves had no problem obeying him it keep them enslaved..now the truth comes out and your racist color dint matter..well according to the bible there's a people who are lost carried by ships and scatter them among the earth.

Every kind of people have been enslaved and brought over world at some time. If you think Blake people were the only ones then you obviously don’t care enough about history to learn it. You shouldn’t just expect other people to educate you. Blacks weren’t even the only ones in the Atlantic slave trade, but because Africans have always enslaved each other because of tribalism there were just so many more blacks available that the others don’t receive any attention.
Great video as always, just a little mistake at 4:05 when you talk about Constantine, he didn't make Christianity the state religion, he just tolerated it, it only became the state religion at the end of the 4th century iirc. Not that important but just wanted to point it out
I made the same comment without seeing yours, even started the same saying great as always, lol. But yeah, it was only made the state religion in 380 by Theodosius with the Edict of Thessalonica. Constantine just gave it legal status and a reprieve from persecution with the Edict of Milan. I do think it's an important observation, specially if you consider that during this intermediate period (between Constantine and Theodosius) there was at least one real chance of returning to paganism with Julian the Apostate (331-363) had he not died so prematurely, but none after Theodosius.
@Alef Leifur “brainwashed masses” Christianity was still a very small minority in the empire at the time, and most of them were still converts, i doubt that they were brainwashed.
First, thanks for the interesting explanation of the topic Secondly, as a Muslim, we have a hadith about the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, that he saw Jesus in the sky and described him as follows: Square in stature - that is, neither tall nor short. - His skin color tends to be red. - Broad-chested. - The hair is loose - that is, the hair is loose - as if his head was dripping and no wetness had reached it.
I prefer to pray to a blonde haired, blue eyed 6 pound 7 ounce baby Jesus, in swaddling clothes, sipping on an ice cold bottle of milk. The way God intended it.
My father saw Jesus during the war (WW2) he was shot up bad. He said when he thought he was dying - he heard a voice say ‘my son’. My father looked up and saw ( his words) the most beautiful being. He knew he was looking at Jesus. He had the most beautiful bronze skin ( as if all races were combined). Dark hair - he didn’t mention his eye color. My father knew he was going to live and was in awe of how beautiful Jesus was. The peace and calm that used to come over my fathers face when he told me this will be forever in my memory. ❤️
@Jhon Blackheard You will feel the full weight of your mockery during your life review. I died and had an extensive NDE. The Creator is real. Yeshua is real. Whatever is deeper and more profound than Shame is what you will feel. I pity you, knowing what you are in for....and while you feel this, the Creator and Yeshua will be loving you. And that makes the Shame so much worse.
I mean, in those times, people were urged to keep their family profession, is not crazy to think that, before Jesus started his travels, he helped his father with his works.

Congratulations! I couldn't agree more. The only sad thing is that every time we have to explain that science (anthropology in this case) is not racism. Keep up the good work!
@Neach ie in its purest form Anthropology isn’t racist. It has been used for the justification of racism and prejudice, unfortunately. Now however it’s used more to understand and place things in their proper context as we can’t put a modern western lens on everything and expect to see a complete picture. Even early anthropologists would have answered that they weren’t racist as they knew or had heard people in their lives that were actually racist even by the standards of the times. They only appear so because we have a more fair minded view as a society than used to be the case anyway. It’s not great but it’s better than it was decades ago. Also modern anthropologists are less likely to be racist as we all know the more your travel, know, and study different cultures the less likely you are to be racist as racism comes from fear which comes from ignorance.
@Neach ie I’ll admit it was difficult for me to understand what you wrote on first try. But I think you are trying to pick a fight when I am not interested in one. I am Latino. I love when non-white historians, anthropologists, and psychologists weight in on matters. The reason it’s Eurocentric is because they had access to highly education in said institutions. We need time to catch up. We do need to look at things in their proper context to fully understand them. That isn’t excusing what was done, said, or documented it’s just the truth. It’s inaccurate to only look at history from a modern perspective. Good day.
@Neach ie what about good day didn’t you understand? You’re picking a fight and aren’t interested in an intellectual discourse. Your are incorrect on many counts and I’m no longer interested in humoring you. Once again good day.
It’s so nice to see more and more Christian’s become more and more open to newly found history or better representation of facts. It to me is early sign of the church growing up a bit.
@@unoriginalcomment7502 I don't know. "Metatron" is the name of an angle or possibly of the Messiah as given in Talmudic sources and mentioned in Prayers in the Synagogue in Jewish culture. So I'm curious to know what he means by using that name. But I wouldn't assume if he's christian or not. And I also assume that by saying he's Italian, that's a joke, since Italian is a nationality and Christian is a religion. @Cev Cena
Pilate wrote that he had "Golden hair" in stark difference to the other Jews, in his personal logs. I'm just repeating what I learned in a video translation, though, as I don't read Latin. I could be wrong but the woman was a scholar and seemed sincere in her translation.
Of course, if he was shining and glowing like in the Revelation verse, you'd think he'd stand out a bit... Dude, that's Jesus. THAT'S JESUS?!? How the hell do you know that?
I agree Jesus would not look the same after resurrection. As the bible says in resurrection we will be resurrected into a more glorified body. Not a earthly body.

Yes we all should but like he said it Subliminal Conditioning to show the World of White Supremacy. As Black People for years we loved Jesus even though he was Portrayed as a White Man but if they were to strip out all the Pictures of Jesus and Make him a Person of Color how many White People would be up in arms calling it Blasphemy when actually it says in the Bible make no image of God for that is Idolatry because we are worshipping a man of the World and not the True Jesus
I actually did notice, that none of the Gospels physically describe Jesus, but I always thought, that that was a piece of information in and of itself. Meaning, that he possibly looked very typical for his area of origin and era in every way.
No, that was the way it was interpreted early on with several omissions. What we have is a book that has been altered to be read and interpreted a certain way with many embellishments along the way. which is why there are so many irregularities in the scriptures. None of this is supposed to be left up to faith in your belief
I just hate when people say that Jesus could have looked like a wide range of people but definitely not Black... Not all "Black" people are dark-skinned and sub-Saharan. And the 12 tribes have some lineages in East Africa where either they resided or traveled through.. I think he needs to define "Black" first and then give a more in-depth explanation because there are people along the Nile river (East Africa where the 12 tribes have known to pass through or mingle with) that are just as dark as Sub-Saharan peoples.. And dark-skinned Afrocentric people have been known to commonly exist in other parts of the Roman Empire... Not saying that every other person was Black, but in many places, it was common to see us here and there.. Food for thought...
@@plopplop6805 No one can tell with certainty what he looked like. Therefore, saying that ”Jesus definitely didn’t look black” would be charlatanism. All we have is indirect clues. That being said, Metatron has a good point in saying, that if Jesus looked significantly different, than the dominant population of the area, there possibly would be a mention of it, and Judas wouldn’t have to kiss him to point him out to the guards. That’s why I conclude, that in high likelihood (high likelihood is not the same as certainty), Jesus was neither pale white, nor very dark brown/black like say people from southern Sudan, but most likely olive/bronze/brown skinned with dark hair, and dark eyes. There is for instance a specific mention in the Old Testament, that David had red hair, as that was likely unusual. Not that it matters, as he came to redeem every human being (if the tradition is to be believed), regardless of their color, social status, etc. and he explicitly sent his disciples to ALL people of the world. With regards to the artistic depiction of Jesus: I think it’s only natural if different cultures adjust his visage to what they can relate to. After all, art is not descriptive geometry, or technical drawing. Art has a narrative role, it’s supposed to communicate a specific message to the viewer in a visual language, that the viewer would comprehend. That’s why there are depictions of Christ, that appear white, black, Asian, Inuit, etc. depending on the culture and origin of the artist. Also, in pre-enlightenment era, people weren’t as well informed as they are now, that’s why there’s so many e.g. baroque era paintings of Biblical scenes, where people wear 16th/17th century European clothes, armor, etc. even though the scene is supposed to be set in the ancient Middle East/Palestine. It looks ridiculous to our eyes today, but people simply didn’t know better back then.
@@JTM1809 Correct but what im trying to say is..... If its uncertain, then how are you certain he wasn't "Black". He cant cut the cake unevenly here. You gotta be fair.. Dark skin was around in the international Roman Empire. Just as easy it was for light skin/white skin to be in the Roman provinces of Africa is just how easy it was for darker skin tones/hair textures to be in the European provinces of Rome. How do we assume Dark skinned people didn't travel as much as light/white people? Where does this assumption come from that Dark skinned Africans stayed put knowing that trade extended into Africa for resources? Darker skin tones exist in North Africa as well. Thats my point.. There is no evidence or primary sources to state that darker skinned people weren't in present Day Italy and Greece. And given that the 12 tribes have had extensive histories in Nile Valley, how can you rule out that maybe, MAYBE, there were some dark skin tones. And my last point is.. "Black" doesn't always mean the darkest Skin tone and Sub Saharan.

It’s pretty ignorant to believe that if someone recognizes the difference in ethnicity is racist- that’s not even in the realm of the true definition of racism
So by YOUR definition of racism- if I say a person of that the typical or standard description of someone from Eastern Asia has small slanted eyes, and very small features. Very high cheekbones,high nose bridge, small nose, and African- Easter-Western -Ethiopian- Sub-Saharan all different yet basically have a broad/ wide bride nose, flat like or wide nostrils, and fuller lips, yet very diverse in skin color/tone hair texture and eye color. And Mexican- very diverse in skin, hair, eye color and yet their basic traits are most have higher, broader forehead, oilier skin, ( great trait to have btw. ) higher cheekbones, generally brown, green, hazel eyes. However, since most Mexicans are a mixture of many races to give them a general or “common” trait other than most have black-brown hair brown- green eyes. And White people? For some reason if someone has blond, red, brown hair, light blue, green, brown, etc eyes and light or “White” skin they’re “White” people. But truth is, at least in the U.S.- since at least the 60’s there are very few “European Whites”. Most are mixed with Black, Brown, Yellow, and even as far back as the 1600s Native American- yet by YOUR standards pointing this out is somehow racist? It’s only “racist” in the mind of a racist. They- whomever you choose they to be- I KNOW who “they” are. But THEY will say and do anything to keep division alive. Be it by saying someone is racist for pointing out genetic factual differences- not by TRUE RACISM which is one race thinking they’re better than another race- which is not true, no one is above or better than the other. - Or be it by putting others in a “class” aka- the elite, the upper class, middle class, lower class etc. - people are where they are at least in this country because they either worked for it or didn’t. No one has held anyone back. ( yeah I know I’m gonna get hi5 for that statement, but it’s true) and religion- if they can keep the Baptist hating the Catholic, hating the Jewish people and the Atheist hating them all- well hey, they’ve got a good hate group going there. ( and nope I didn’t mention Muslims, or Hindu, or Buddhists- thats a whole other novella. Anyway, as long as we are kept in poverty, busy worrying about how to pay our bills, how to pay for the drug prescriptions they’ve got us hooked on, how to keep our home from being stolen either by them or the squatters, then we are not looking at or focusing on their crimes. Their lies. What TERRIFIES them, is if it all just stopped, if we actually talked instead of yelled and hate- then and only then we will focus on them, their lies, their b.s. and only then will we finally say- hey wait- YOU WORK FOR ME! I PUT YOU IN OFFICE TO DO WHAT I- WE- WE THE PEOPLE SAY! THE RULE OF THE GAME IS WE CONTROL YOU.. YOU DONT CONTROL US! WE GAVE YOU YOUR JOB, WE CAN AND WILL TAKE IT AWAY! Until that time comes…

@Chad Larsen But he could've been white though, there is white people in Iran, Irak, Syria, the Levant, north Africa etc, I mean only if your* worldview of "white" is not exclusively European or even exclusively Anglo/Germanic, etc which in my case isn't
Yes, but many Christians don't follow the Bible. In this day and age Blacks are obsessed with race because it's a backlash of years of racism against them. Also, since racism has declined substantially and Black countries have become independent they have not been successful, so, Christian or not, many Black Christians are obsessed with His race because they need to to justify themselves somehow.
As a non-Christian, that it doesn't matter is one of the things I admire about your religion. Although Christianity had trouble with racism, that was something that seems not to be present at the beginning and was far from universal. It's actually reasonably common in Christian art for Jesus to be depicted in the style and ethnicity of the audience. We have Nordic Jesus in northern Europe. That's doesn't show racism when there is East Asian Jesus in China and Japan, black Jesus in Africa, and an Indian Jesus who wears saffron and sits in the Lotus position.
I really like your methodology, including the fact that you don't rule out using the gospels as sources, for certain specific purposes. As a Christian, I believe them at a different level, but I also know that many don't, and I'm aware of my biases. It's refreshing that your own perspective does not lead you to rule out what may be taken from them, at the very least, as "period writings" that would be indicative of expectations and assumptions. Your logic and detective work are very careful, and I greatly appreciate that.
I really appreciate all of the effort put into accessing all of the data, and that you weren't afraid to leave the conclusion at "this is what he likely looked like, but it's not definite". Not many people have the courage to admit they do not have definite answers to complex questions.
So… a short, tanned Mediterranean guy, who’s padre is sort of a big thing, wise guys showed up with gifts at his birth, he lived home till he was 30, and claimed his madre is a virgin, and he could get wine into any party…. Are you saying he was Sicilian?

''He sprouted up like a twig before God, like a root out of parched soil he had no stately form or majesty that might catch our attention, no special appearance that we should want to follow him'' Isaiah 53:2
Revelation Chapter 2 Verse 9. "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan." Revelation chapter 3 verse 9 " Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee." Seems to me that by these scriptures he cares what his people looked like, how people treated them, and he made it clear that his people are impoverished and they have been for a long time. He also pointed out in the scripture that there is an awakening for the ones who stole the identities of the real Israelites and continue to lie about it. The messiah looked like his people but if you have been lied to about what his people looked like you might have been deceived but it's not your fault. We inherited a few flaws from forefathers in history with the lies about the Israelites identity and the history of the Bible. Some truth is coming out but You gotta be willing to understand it for your own salvation. Peace.
Well what he looks like or where he is from dictates what he did or how it was done but I understand you brother. Jesus is just another hero.... Buddha was a hero, Muhammad, and so many more lost to time. Ppl fail to realize Jesus isn't the pinnacle of existence or even religion but a great schism
@@KIDSOUL777 What in the world are you talking about? Jesus and his Father could care less what we look like. If that were the case then there would be no diversity in the human race🤦🏿♀️. Stop misinterpreting the Scriptures. The problem is people are claiming and professing to be Christians but nothing they do reflects what it means to be a true Christian (💎Matthew 15:8; 💎 Isaiah 29:13 and true worshiper of our Almighty God 💎 Genesis 17:1; 35:11 whose name by the way is Jehovah "JAH" for short ( 💎 Psalm 68:4) and Follower of his Son Jesus Christ, the Son of God 💎 Hebrews 4:14 who is also our Mighty God and Eternal Father (💎Isaiah 9:6) The people God and His Son Jesus care about are those practicing pure worship, worship that is free of unscriptural pagan traditional practices and worship that doesn't have at its foundation the false doctrine of the Devil, (Trinity)🤷🏿♀️. No distinction is made of God’s people/children... Jews and Gentiles. We are all one in God and Jesus’s eyes. READ FIRST 💎 Galatians 3:28; then Read 💎Galatians 3:8-15. Distinction was made, during old Testament times, between Jews, (God’s chosen people) and Gentiles. But that "went out the window" so to speak when the law and animal sacrifice was no longer being used as a means to ones Salvation. JESUS as the sacrifice (the sacrificial Lamb of God). He Came not to destroy the law but to fulfill the law 💎Matthew 5:17. You forgot that the Jews, God’s chosen people rejected their own (Jesus Christ) and brought sin upon themselves? Jesus, the promised one to the Jews, rejected him as the Messiah and God's anointed king of his Heavenly kingdom even though he specifically came to save them from themselves. The hypocrites that they were 💎Matthew 23). BUT they denied him. I suggest you read 💎Luke chapter 2 in its entirety. Now God’s chosen people both Jews and Gentiles are NOW ALL HIS CHILDREN, those who follow the new commandments established by Christ recorded at 💎 Matthew 22:36-40. You may want to to Study the Bible a bit deeper and stop making up your own story about what you think the Scripture is saying and focus on what it is actually says.. this may just save your life.
I asked a question back in the sixties as a young boy as to the colour of Jesus..... The man ( and I truly wish I could remember his name) responded. " Jesus was born in the middle east so was not white or black but in-between, this was on purpose by God as his Son represented all colours.. this has stuck with me me all my life and although there is a campaign to make him one colour or another in my mind he belongs to all nations...in the end when all our material belongings and beliefs are judged we will stand before our creator as one being....and ultimately as the one he created...
Exactly my thoughts. Jesus himself is a symbol for salvation, for unity, his appearance would matter little given he is supposed to be seen in all of us
That would be likely if he stated that himself. In the Quran Muhammad, peace be apon him, wanted to no form of iconography of himself to ever exist fearing it would make Muslims worship himself than Allah. I have never seen any old text that says Jesus had similar statements because the Bible was written roughly 100 years after his death so its possible and could have influenced Islam to follow suit in a more literal manner or vice versa.
@@theamericankaiser4549 We have no idea what Muhammad really wanted as he's not really mentioned in the qoran and the muslim tradition was written 250 years after to be used as legal system for the caliphate.

I am a Christian and I have to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this video. I love history and the way you explain things. Keep it up!! Also, I've never believed Jesus being white. Well, not never. But as I grew up and learned about other cultures and history and geography and all that jazz, it seemed weird to believe He was a faired skin, blue eyed man. Anyway, greetings from Costa Rica. Love your videos.
Yeah He wouldn't be European white with blue eyes and long hair. In the Bible it says Jesus didn't stand out from the crowd. If he was very white with long hair he'd stand out so much and people will stare at him all the time. But they didn't. At the same time he didn't look ugly either because then he'd also stand out. He was an average looking Jewish man among fellow Jews in Israel. Most likely tanned skin (he was outside a lot) and short hair with body build similar to other men around him at the time. He was average looking with no distinct appearance that would give Him away easily.
I have an idea, lets focus on the single most meaningless aspect of Jesus and everything He taught, lets specifically go against every single thing He taught about man that is important and has value and instead and concern ourselves with the color of His skin. Sounds like a great idea.
Pale skin, not fair at all. Sickly is pale, fair is olive, copper feet to match. You know what some of you call black it's trueness is Copper, olive skinned. Just like the penny.
my name "Mirjam" (מִרְיָם (mireyām)) was given after the sister of Moses. As I understood, is this also the name for Mary (Maria or whatever language you speak) is that correct?
On how Jesus' hair looked like: you did say in the video as well about how Judas had to go and kiss Jesus to tell the Romans who they needed to arrest because he didn't look much different from the other disciples, so likely at that time Jesus had the same hair and beard style as his disciples. Because as you pointed out about other characteristics, Judas could've said "the one with the very long hair/short hair is Jesus" or "the one with/without beard is him".
As a Christian, I really enjoyed this. It actually doesn’t differ much from what I already believed. I’ve dreamt of Christ once. It was the only time ever in my life and I was sick with a terrible flu. He looked like a cross between middle eastern and Mediterranean. In this dream he looked olive skinned, with long dark hair and with slight curls in it. He had, round eyes and they were brown. His nose was a bit pronounced, with medium lips. His facial hair was well enough kept but thin enough for me to see his smile. He smiled at me and I awoke. It felt very personal. It was a very nice dream.
Thank you so much for sharing this dream my Christian Brother..... I wish I had such dreams. I must ask you though, did you see any trace of red in his hair? You see, he is sometimes described as having some form of red or golden color to his hair. I know of brown hair that has a red and/or golden shine to it, especially when walking in the sun (such as my hair ironically).

I'm a black woman from the West Indies. Unfortunately in today's society, any disagreement or lack of support on certain opinions, agenda, politics etc, is considered racist. Racism does not mean the same anymore, as it has become very political. I care more about facts, truth and Salvation through Jesus Christ. I care not what skin color he was in when on the earth, or what his appearance was. I care that he revealed himself to me and that I accept him.
I always thought that there is no description of Jesus is because Jesus is for everyone. What he looks like isn't important and to try and put him in a specific ethnicity is to make him and his message specifically for those people, which I don’t believe is what he is about. Jesus is for everyone.
If you are from the West Indies, you certainly do not consider yourself "black!" It has been long held and proven by Black Americans that dark skin people from nearly any part of the world INCLUDING America, who are NOT Black Americans, do NOT consider themselves "black," meaning, Black American. People from the West Indies are notoriously known for their making sure they differentiate themselves from Black Americans. So, it's no wonder you hold the opinion people being called out as racists these days are victims of a political agenda. When a Black American points out what he/she believes to be a racist, there is a 99.9 percent chance that the person identified as a racist IS a racist! To be clear, I, as a Black American, do NOT believe Metatron to be racist. I believe his TH-cam posts are intellectual, well researched, and well-articulated. So, before you or anyone else tries to "go there," Don't! My comment here is directed at you and any other person from the West Indies!

She also reasons that it was due to being under the sun rather than her actual skin color, but even if she was born black, she wouldn't need to reference it if that was the common skin color. A group of blacks or whites or whatever aren't going to feel the need to tell the very same group of people their skin color. Don't be one of those people obsessed with everything needing to be black. God made all colors within ONE human race.

@@hasheemadamson4117 - Sorry Hasheem, the people of the Jewish faith are “still waiting for the Messiah.” It’s the 21st Century, and they are still waiting. Accept the fact that He came, and left this Earth for now. Sorry, your people missed him. The Talmud mentions YESHUA, (ISSA) and his ACTS. Rabbis do not deny his existence, they just don’t accept him as the Messiah.
@@710MaryJane 😂😂😂 You are funny, I will give you that but did I give you the impression that I believe or trust any rabbi? You mentioned the Talmud so I guess maybe you have read it. Bcuz in all the three books of the Abrahamic religions The Creator made it clear that no one has the power to know when this world will end, you see. So therefore no one really knows the exact date or century that the Messiah will return. No one knows it. Not you and not me or anyone else. I am surprised you seem not to know that fact. You and I will be dead probably hundreds of thousands of years before that will happen. So to even mention the fact that we are in the 20th century and he is still not here shows how shallow your knowledge is in this matters. Let me tell you something, my people where here when the beginning began. And we will surely be here when the end comes, you can bet your life on that, my dear Mary Jane. You see, the world's climate is changing and the world is getting hotter and hotter. Some people are not built to withstand that but we on the other hand are SA - RA which in ancient Khemet (egypt) means children of RA( children of the sun). Some people can't stand the sun bcuz of their skin color so they are the ones in danger of extinction not us. We were built to withstand the sun thanks to The Creator who made us so. The Talmud is not a book that I trust to begin with. I know that, just like the Bible it has been tampered with and corrupted by the wazungus. You see, before the arrival of the Messiah my people will have to go through a process. One of the process or signs is that we will start waking up from our slumber ( ignorance of self) and realizing who we truly are. And that process has already began. It's a slow process but it's already in motion and the signs are everywhere. The wheels of change are in motion and there's nothing that can stop it.

The fact that Metatron, probably one of the most unbiased people I have encountered on TH-cam, gets called a racist by some, goes to show how ignorant people can be.
Honestly, I'm getting the feeling that people are starting to use the word too losely, and it's just starting to lose its meaning.
Don't get me wrong. If someone is being a scumbag then they deserve to be called what they are, but come on guys.
the problem with current political environment is that imbeciles have been given a voice... Now, people like Metatron have their hands full trying to respond to those imbeciles otherwise he might be put into a category from which he will never be able to exit...
Unbiased in your opinion. I doubt he has been called racist. Others mught have been however.
I think it's not really an issue as of late... everyone has internet, from the smartest to the dumbest of people out there and any one of them could call you a racist, at this point only you can really find if you are or are not a racist by disecting your actions as people just throw those words out like "I don't like your opinion so I call you something I don't like" or something like that.

I've traveled quite a bit, been to a lot of churches and I have never met a Christian who thought Jesus was actually blonde and blue eyed. We generally know that those are later artistic depictions. Maybe it's just my denomination (Baptist) but we don't hang pictures of Jesus, the only depictions we have are usually cartoon type drawings for kids. We deliberately avoid pictures because that misses the point and especially in a very diverse culture it can be a distraction
Yeah what he actually looked like is not important in any way 😮
Caucasian is a term used to describe people of European, Middle Eastern, or North African ancestry. It's often used in the United States as a synonym for "white". However, the term has been criticized and some say it's problematic. More accurate terms include "European-American".



The term Caucasian comes from racial scientists who classified people based on physical traits, such as light skin pigmentation. This classification created a racial hierarchy with Western Europeans at the top.
Idk probably like a Levantine person, as in, Mediterranean. Wasn't some scandanavian looking blue eyes dude but he wasn't black or likely all that dark either. I mean, Bashar Al Assad is levantine and that guy is lighter than Michael Knowles.
Exactly
and he has blue eyes
I believe so as well, the darker tan in the middle east region cames after from the arab invasion.
Blue eyes is a trait of Turkic origin
@@weedlegaliser120 likely not
Probably sort of a Metatron-ish looking dude, if we're honest.
He probably called his followers noble ones as well
Lebanese people are the living descendants of canaanites. They are hence the closest thing we have on ancient Hebrew phenotype. In other words kind of light skinned middle eastern dudes with mostly brown or black hair and dark eyes with few exceptions.
@Commie Destroyer Yeah. It's something a lot of people don't realize, and it's crazy to think of how much the Arab expansion changed the whole appearance and culture of people all across the middle east and Mediterranean.
My thought exactly. He probably looked like Metatron.
I have longlt wodered why Cesare Borgia and Metatron keep manifesting in a toast.
“What did Jesus really look like” Asks the guy that looks like Jesus.
Lol 😂 I wonder if Metatron fancies carpentry.
Haha! That cut at around 9:50 threw me a little bit!
I think metatrons point was that he doesn't look like jesus.
Ngl, I thought this was a coming-out video at first...
LOL!
I’ve been in Jesus’s presence His voice is full of kindness and love, I was sick in bed and He stood by my bed I could not lift my head because of extreme pain so I never saw his face but his voice just spoke of love and caring ! He asked me what I wanted as tears streamed down my face I said please take this pain away I awoke next morning and was fine !
Going for major surgery years later I was in operation room and panicking “ Jesus where are you ? You said you would be with me ! “
I am here and a undescribable light glowed in the corner peace fell over me and I awoke hours later in recovery!
Now I am able as a more mature Christian to know He is always with me in times of need and I have nothing to fear !
Was he blond and blue eyed?
Funnily enough had a dream once and he was neither black or white but had the energy religion preached about 😂
Is he golden blonde and powerful blue eyes, fair skin. To answer the question. From my experience as young boy. It’s a yes.

So... Yeah. Idk.
Also, what I just said might explain why Jesus has continued to be represented as a white bearded man. Cause the missionaries would probably be beared white men. So you know... Bearded white guys' religion, the main guy... Hmm... Yeah let's make him white and... Oh hey, let's give him a beard too.

@@coreybul There never was multiple Gospels by multiple authors. The Gospel was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.

@@KillAllCops88 It is still written by people who used their background and surroundings. Originally i would say there were some oral traditions for the old testament who were then put on paper by different people. Thats the reason for different versions of the same stories. they took from different traditions and the editors did not want to confront any of the directions. For later happenings they formed stories on purpose, sometimes to integrate people and give them space in the forming legend of "the people". The tribe Dan f.e. was most probably a philistine group.

@@lucarod8877 Could a Roman soldier been potentially present to keep an eye on the Sanhedren’s “soldiers” rather than Jesus? After all, to the Romans, non-Roman soldiers were the potential threat rather than Jesus himself?
I remember asking one of my church pastors "What did he look like?" He responded "Does it really matter? We follow him because of his teachings & that he is the savior. What he looks like is secondary to what he taught & did for us."
That response hit me hard. It was in that moment I realized that I was thinking about things that didn't matter as much. I remember learning about why Jesus is depicted the way he is & I am glad I stumbled upon your video.
I also remember going to a church in Korea where a painting depicted Jesus & the apostles as Korean. In Korean hanboks & everything.
Exactly! THIS is why the lord says NEVER MAKE IMAGES OF ANYTHING ABOVE, ON OR BELOW THE SEA AND BOW DOWN TO IT AND/OR WORSHIP IT!

@@lltipsy i agree! This is why you cant trust any administration religion like Catholic or Mormon churches! Only The Bible is 100% correct and its many missing books!

Hello Cindy and thank you very much for subscribing, I appreciate. Welcome to the community of noble ones. In the next few days, I'll be releasing a highly detailed video on the Shroud of Turin, which might interest you. Have a great day.
A complete REFUTAL of Metatron’s video #1.He said nonbias but immediately after he stated that Jesus is not black and trying to refute rev 1.
#2. He started to trace Jesus’s ethnicity from 2,000 years ago instead of going back to genesis or at least from Noah.
#3. Then he said he’s going to start from a clean slate without any personal preferences and image expectation when not even a second before, he said that Jesus isn’t black like the Africans. He continues to say if Jesus is black, brown etc., it wouldn’t matter to him when he already build up an image in his mind what Jesus isn’t and who he wants Jesus to be, I believe that’s CONFIRMATION BIAS. Lol, lol, I really have to laugh because this racist, bias guy is funny.
#4. He said the governing changed the image of Jesus Christ to look like them and not the governed. I couldn’t agree more with him on this one because that’s exactly why Jesus is not portrayed as his correct color, black, the governed. Caucasians governing and blacks are governed.
#5. Nobody believes that Jesus was African, he was not a Canaanite or Kushite, He is a Hebrew Israelite. The problem is that you fail to realize that the biblical and historical Hebrew Israelites were black just like the Hamites. In Gen 42:7-8 Joseph ONLY changed his voice and his brothers didn’t recognize him but he recognized them. If Joseph was Caucasian he would have stand out amongst the other Egyptians but he was black just like the ancient Egyptians and that’s why he could change his voice and not being recognized by his brothers. In theology, there is a thing call “analogy of faith” where you compare scripture to scripture in order to arrive at a conclusion because all scriptures are harmoniously united and not contradictory. Therefore , In order to understand Revelations 1:14 you have to read Daniel 7:9 KJV the Ancient of days (God Almighty Jesus Christ) garment as white as snow, the hair of His head LIKE THE PURE WOOL (Black man’s hair texture).
#6. Jesus looked different after his resurrection doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a body because he ate with the disciples after his resurrection. Him being God can cause them not to recognize him.
#7. Like I said before, you can’t tell what Jesus looked like by only knowing what Galilean men in the first century looked like. If that’s the case I can just say Jesus was black like the men in Galilee at that time because all the Jews in Galilee were black.However, there were different ethnicities in Galilee at the time of Jesus. Also, how do we know that those men were actually from Galilee and not imposters from the governing. Just like how he said the Romans changed the image of Jesus, that’s the same way we cannot trust your so-called iconography, etc. It’s like saying, I can know what Martin L King looked like by looking at what men in Tennessee looked like in the 19th century. This is if I didn’t know what he looks like.
#8. The gospels weren’t written in the first century, according to most theologians, 80% of the New Testament manuscript dated to the 5th century or later with the oldest, the single most authenticated fragment, papyrus 52, dated to the mid 2nd century. It wouldn’t make no sense for Judas to say Jesus looked like the black guy when Jesus Christ and the 12 tribes of Israel are all Black. lol, lol, this guy continues to make me laugh. You are confusing the way how people in that area looked today with the biblical and historical people in that area. Those coins doesn’t prove anything, how do you know that the person on the coin bending his knees were Jews? Did the coin say they were Jews or you assumed they were Jews? Also how do we know that those coins were from the first century for sure. The person kneeling down wasn’t even bowing down in front of the roman Soilder on the coin. Those so call pictures of Jews in the temple was painted by the governing Caucasian and not the governed blacks (Jews).
#9. You are using proof from a modern day Caucasian Israeli biohistorian, it’s like the police investigating themselves, what a joke, no independence. Jesus looked nothing like the modern day Iraqi, he was an Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah. The modern day people in that region are hybrid , mixture of the original inhabitants of the land (blacks) and Caucasian Romans, Greeks and Arabs due to the invasions.
That land is the biblical Canaan, promised land.
Canaan father is Cush/Ethiopia (burn face, black face people), Ham means Hot and a word means BLACK. Abraham’s grandfather and brother both named Nahor, descendant of Shem comes from the Hebrew root word “Harar”which also means burn, Charred or Hot for Black. That’s why Nahor is a slang for Nigger. Acts 13:1 KJV version: Barnabas and Simeon was also called Niger (BLACK in Greek and Latin). Songs of Solomon 1:5 “I am BLACK but comely (beautiful)”, Job 30:30 Job said “My skin is BLACK”. Daniel 7:9 said the Ancient of days, Jesus Christ which is the same Alpha and Omega in Rev chapter 1, His hair is as “PURE WOOL” and if you study hair genetics, you would learned that wool hair is EXCLUSIVE to BLACK people and if a Caucasian person have wool hair it’s considered a disorder calls “wooly hair syndrome” and I’m certain Jesus Christ didn’t have a disorder. Please see below for a reference to the name NAHOR from naming.net www.nameaning.net/both/Nahor
Cush or Ethiopia had a son name Nimrod who’s kingdom was Babel/Babylon or Chaldea Chaldeans , Gen 10:8-12, so the Chaldeans/Babylonians were also black like their father and Granfather Nimrod and Ethiopia respectively. And guess what, Abraham was BORN in Ur of Chaldea/Babylon. So we can conclude again that Abraham was an Ethiopian Hebrew , Genesis 14:13. Judean men in biblical times were black like there ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob according to scriptures and ancient history. Therefore we can conclude that metatron research and description is highly flawed, biased and racist. I chose to believe what the scriptures says over what man says!!!
@@levite2059 Those in Israel today are not mixtures. They are from the Russian steps and surrounding areas. Their Kingdom was CONVERTED to Judaism in the 700s.

@@levite2059 You do realise that Jesus was not in the old testament, right? Pre christianity the trinity did not exist and the Jews had no concept of the son of god. Whatever is in the old testament is a moot point. If he actually existed (ie was a real historical figure) then he would be much the same as the peoples of the Levant at that time. Worrying about color seems to be a very modern day thing, who cares and why? and what difference does it make to his message ? Instead it seems to be something to divide people not unite them.
A not-so-hidden-hint about Christ's outward appearance and His lack of "sticking out from the crowd" is found in Isaiah 53:2b: "...he hath no form or comeliness; and when we see him, _there is_ no beauty that we should desire him." So right there I could have told you that He looked like an average Jewish man of the time period.
This argument is interesting but it's really only persuasive to Christians. If you're not Christian, why would you believe Isaiah - a Jewish prophet from 700-something BC - was talking about Jesus?
@@bobisallright interesting point
@@bobisallright No, even as a Christian, that should be a very relevant question. Especially as a Christian, I'd argue.
How do we know Isaiah was referring to Jesus in that passage?
Context clues, I suppose. Isaiah was probably clear about who he was talking about. I suspect all the surrounding paragraphs concerned the same person, and made it known who this person was. It sounds to me that Isaiah was referring to the coming Messiah. If Jesus was in fact that messiah, then the passage can only refer to Jesus.
There the messiah is described as a regular looking jew. Therefore, Jesus would have to look like a regular jew, in order to qualify as messiah, according to Isaiah. Very helpful in nailing down the messiah's appearance, and by extension Jesus's. Religious or not.
And none of that changes whether you're a Christian, Atheist or Buddhist. The reader's religion is irrelevant. If Isaiah in fact mentions the Messiah at line 53 of the book, then the Messiah is mentioned by Isaiah at line 53. Period. Your atheism be damned. All your atheism can do is classify the subject as fiction. All the atheism in the world couldn't change the contents of Line 53. It says what it says, true or not.
Likewise, if Harry escapes Voldemort at the end of Chapter 32, then Harry escapes Voldemort at ch32, fiction or not. Religious or not. And no amount of belief or disbelief can ever change the ending of Ch32, fiction or not.
It's irrelevant to the in-universe canon.
And I am not claiming that it's impossible to change the text of the Bible. That's been done like a million times over the centuries. I am merely clarifying the effect of Atheism on biblical matters.
Real Jesus ugly AF.
@@mayanboricua he wasn’t referring to Jesus. He lived 700 years before him if Jesus ever even existed. Religion is entirely man-made. He imagined their savior as a completely average, unremarkable man. Shocker. Imagine giving a very precise description of what your savior will look like. You’d have a hard time trying to fit anyone into that box. Broad descriptions are statistically the easiest to fulfill. You give the impression of providing details when in fact you speak in generalities.
I'm a Christian and this is brilliant. I love ýour methodology. You and I love the truth and have the integrity and to go searching. You aren't afraid to present actual fact.
Christianity is not good
Living a lie
Cause he lieing
Has he done a video about lost tribes?/ the dispersed Northern Kingdom?
He's actually come out as Christian and even has a link to a private video in why he's become a believer. In spite of that he's pretty dead and does most of his work through actual historical facts and logic.
I saw in another video that talked about a letter Pilate wrote to Ceasar about Jesus, that Pilate had seen a young man with golden hair, golden beard, and blue eyes leaning against a tree as he preached to a crowd. Pilate asked who the young man was, and someone told Pilate that the young man was Jesus of Nazareth. But the narrator also said he wasn't sure how reliable the letter actually was. But I found that bit if information interesting.
For me being a non native English speaker it was very easy to follow and understand your explanations. My compliments. Very interesting and educational

It wouldn’t make no sense for Judas to say Jesus looked like the black guy when Jesus Christ and the 12 tribes of Israel are all Black. lol, lol, this guy continues to make me laugh. You are confusing the way how people in that area looked today with the biblical and historical people in that area. Those coins doesn’t prove anything, how do you know that the person on the coin bending his knees were Jews? Did the coin say they were Jews or you assumed they were Jews? Also how do we know that those coins were from the first century for sure. The person kneeling down wasn’t even bowing down in front of the roman Soilder on the coin. Those so call pictures of Jews in the temple was painted by the governing Caucasian and not the governed blacks (Jews).
#9. You are using proof from a modern day Caucasian Israeli biohistorian, it’s like the police investigating themselves, what a joke, no independence. Jesus looked nothing like the modern day Iraqi, he was an Hebrew Israelite from the tribe of Judah. The modern day people in that region are hybrid , mixture of the original inhabitants of the land (blacks) and Caucasian Romans, Greeks and Arabs due to the invasions.
That land is the biblical Canaan, promised land.
Canaan father is Cush/Ethiopia (burn face, black face people), Ham means Hot and a word means BLACK. Abraham’s grandfather and brother both named Nahor, descendant of Shem comes from the Hebrew root word “Harar”which also means burn, Charred or Hot for Black. That’s why Nahor is a slang for Nigger. Acts 13:1 KJV version: Barnabas and Simeon was also called Niger (BLACK in Greek and Latin). Songs of Solomon 1:5 “I am BLACK but comely (beautiful)”, Job 30:30 Job said “My skin is BLACK”. Daniel 7:9 said the Ancient of days, Jesus Christ which is the same Alpha and Omega in Rev chapter 1, His hair is as “PURE WOOL” and if you study hair genetics, you would learned that wool hair is EXCLUSIVE to BLACK people and if a Caucasian person have wool hair it’s considered a disorder calls “wooly hair syndrome” and I’m certain Jesus Christ didn’t have a disorder. Please see below for a reference to the name NAHOR from naming.net www.nameaning.net/both/Nahor
Cush or Ethiopia had a son name Nimrod who’s kingdom was Babel/Babylon or Chaldea Chaldeans , Gen 10:8-12, so the Chaldeans/Babylonians were also black like their father and Granfather Nimrod and Ethiopia respectively. And guess what, Abraham was BORN in Ur of Chaldea/Babylon. So we can conclude again that Abraham was an Ethiopian Hebrew , Genesis 14:13. Judean men in biblical times were black like their ancestors, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob according to scriptures and ancient history. Therefore we can conclude that metatron research and description is highly flawed, biased and raciest. I chose to believe what the scriptures says over what man says!!!
@@levite2059 Cush is from Ham's line, Cush was also the forefather of the ancient Egyptians via his son Mizraim. Mesopotamia was the land given to Shem's people, so Nimrod was there against Gods will, he was rebellious against God. The book of Jubilees is more in detail about this, but you can also find this in your bible.
@@verenatuna9010 Cush was not the forefather of the ancient Egyptians, Cush (Ethiopia) and Egypt (Mizraim) were brothers. Ham was Their father.
@@levite2059 I'm sorry, you are correct on this.
Yet, the Chaldeans were from Shem, Cushites from Ham. Just because Nimrod was ruling in Mesopotamia, it doesn't make him a Shemite...

🤣 Yeah, and in a few parts of the video, I think it is very much intentional, to illustrate that Jesus was just a guy. A very theocratic-politically active guy, who died for his cause. He technically wasn't even the main guy in the movement, John the Baptist was...

But nobody is expecting logic from leftists since logic is a "white construct" and racist therefor.

@Brian Liew;; so sàà
@Brian Liew Jesus was Jewish. He nor his parents ever lived or visited "Mexico" so no....not Mexican 😅🤣 as a Mexican is a citizen of Mexico.
@Brian Liew after a quick research Jesus was common in Mexico due to the Catholic religion conversion....and to be closer to God and to signify a child being raised in the faith. Such as many women named Maria. Now I have several women in my family named Maria but we are not from Mexico, Mexican citizen nor even hispanic.
@Brian Liew Brian, Jesus was a character from a pseudepigrapha literature unfortunately. There was no historical Jesus .

When I did my Classics Degree, the reason why I also studied Classical Latin and Greek was because translations into English were so unreliable.
Which is funny, because as someone who more than dabbles in English etymology, knowing the Greek and Latin roots of the English words that have them and word structure using them (prefixes, suffixes, et cetera) has helped me effectively build an amateur understanding of Greek and Latin by sheer exposure.
ANY translation between languages are unreliable. And when you go between texts that are nearly 2000 years and today, there are more differences to take into account. Like what colours there are words for. Like Black is not a known colour in Scandinavia during Viking age. They said Blue instead. And there are different cultural expressions, that you have to know if you shall do a proper translation.
In short, translation is hard, and translation makes differences to the text.
Ooh ooh look at you
@@AndersJackson its not a matter of simple words like the colours or sth like this... its because greek has more words about high meanings and more different words than the english translations can offer.

You have said it perfectly well. Jesus must have looked like his own kind. A Middle Eastern guy with rather a woolly dark hair that turned white because of aging or the stress he faced in those days. Nonetheless, people should focus on the peace that he tried to teach when he came down the earth. Let's stop killing God's children all over the globe.✌️🙏
Uh uh....and where is this "middle east"? Was it not in the head of some European man? (english), I believe. The same Europeans who have corrupted absolutely everything they touch in order to place themselves on the top because of white supremacy born out of racism that doesn't exist. This is how Jesus became hippy Mark from the sales department. That is a crime and anyone who does believe in christ, God should not just be like "meh, I dont care what he looks like" that's the same attitude that has helped to destroy the faith and leave this absolute mess in 2024.
NE AFRICA was renamed the Middle Eastern & olive tone would make you either green or black not high yellow like those ppl today.
The question is how did the Eberites renamed Hebrews leave Mizraim-Egypt with dark skin & come back YT & why did America put YT ppl in ISREAL in 1948 when Due 28:68 states differently

I absolutely love the historical way you engage in these topics, as a secular autistic person I really love theology and the historicity of varying things in regards thereto.
@@ThxGod_ItsOver That's an oversimplification.
Light genes date back hundreds of thousands of years. The darkest genes were only expressed more strongly much more recently through eastern humans migrating back into africa. Earliest humans that migrated out of africa carried many of the genes for light and dark skin tones. To claim that all humans were dark until white skin evolved as a mutation is a statement that shows lack of expertise on the subject.
@@Unethical.FandubsGames My understanding of this is that while the potential for both light and dark skin has always existed, anywhere more protection from the sun was needed dark skin slowly became the dominant color spectrum because of the need for melatonin in the skin. In other areas where dark skin was not needed, light skin slowly became the dominant color spectrum.
Good vocabulary, bad punctuation.
@@bigguy7353 Thank god you’re here to grade an autistic person’s casual writing in a TH-cam comments section.
@Richard L Jones that's silly. Humans would need more melanin in Equatorial regions (Africa or otherwise) because the Sun's radiation is stronger there and more dangerous to DNA. Melanin-production is a survival mechanism at the genetic level due to the environment. Do research on how melanin is protective against UVA/UVB radiation because you don't have a clue at all.

There never was multiple Gospels by multiple authors. The Gospel was originally one book, written by Lazarus in consultation with the Apostles [John 21:24] and published soon after Jesus left them on their own. The religion was hijacked by Rome, the Gospel was broken up scrambled adulterated into a bunch of competing narratives. Later four of those adulterated gospels were canonized with falsely ascribed authorship and a Gnosticism cover-story. It was the finding of an original Gospel of Jesus scroll in Jerusalem that gained the Knights Templar power over the Church and their eventual undoing when the church finally retaliated against them Friday 13th.
I gotta say as a Christian and a huge history buff of biblical and early American history. I really love how you break down scripture with accordance with historical and cultural accuracy. This being said I challenge you to watch and perhaps review the historical, cultural and perhaps biblical accuracy of The Chosen why ?

@@chenoaholdstock3507 Why not add historical ?
I'm actually impressed by your knowledge of scripture. I am a Christian but I appreciate your views. Thank you.
Here is a COMPLETE point by point refutal of Metatron’s video:
#1. He said nonbias but immediately after, he stated that Jesus is not black and trying to refute Revelation 1.
#2. He started to trace Jesus’s ethnicity from 2,000 years ago instead of going back to Noah or at least from Abraham.
#3. Then he said he’s going to start from a clean slate without any personal preferences and image expectation when not even a second before, he said that Jesus isn’t black like the Africans. He continues to say if Jesus is black, brown etc., it wouldn’t matter to him when he already build up an image in his mind what Jesus isn’t and who he wants Jesus to be, I believe that’s CONFIRMATION BIAS. Lol, lol, I really have to laugh because this racist, bias guy is funny.
#4. He said the governing changed the image of Jesus Christ to look like them and not the governed. I couldn’t agree more with him on this one because that’s exactly why Jesus is not portrayed as his correct color, black, the governed. Caucasians governing and blacks are governed.
#5. Nobody believes that Jesus was African, he was not a Canaanite or Kushite, He is a Hebrew Israelite. The problem is that you fail to realize that the biblical and historical Hebrew Israelites were black just like the Hamites. In Gen 42:7-8 Joseph ONLY changed his voice and his brothers didn’t recognize him but he recognized them. If Joseph was Caucasian he would have stand out amongst the other Egyptians but he was black just like the ancient Egyptians and that’s why he could change his voice and not being recognized by his brothers. In theology, there is a thing call “analogy of faith” where you compare scripture to scripture in order to arrive at a conclusion because all scriptures are harmoniously united and not contradictory. Therefore , In order to understand Revelations 1:14 you have to read Daniel 7:9 KJV the Ancient of days (God Almighty Jesus Christ) garment as white as snow, the hair of His head LIKE THE PURE WOOL (Black man’s hair texture).
#6. Jesus looked different after his resurrection doesn’t mean that he didn’t have a body because he ate with the disciples after his resurrection. Him being God can cause them not to recognize him.
#7. Like I said before, you can’t tell what Jesus looked like by only knowing what Galilean men in the first century looked like. If that’s the case I can just say Jesus was black like the men in Galilee at that time because all the Jews in Galilee were black.However, there were different ethnicities in Galilee at the time of Jesus. Also, how do we know that those men were actually from Galilee and not imposters from the governing. Just like how he said the Romans changed the image of Jesus, that’s the same way we cannot trust your so-called iconography, etc. It’s like saying, I can know what Martin L King looked like by looking at what men in Tennessee looked like in the 19th century. This is if I didn’t know what he looks like.
#8. The gospels weren’t written in the first century, according to most theologians, 80% of the New Testament manuscript dated to the 5th century or later with the oldest, the single most authenticated fragment, papyrus 52, dated to the mid 2nd century. It wouldn’t make no sense for Judas to say Jesus looked like the black guy when Jesus Christ and the 12 tribes of Israel are all Black. lol, lol, this guy continues to make me laugh.

Just one itsy bitsy thing. Having a Roman soldier tell it? Not that I mind because I know the context but having 'the guys that killed him' tell it does feel a bit in your face.
@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese The fact that anyone even needs to ask the question based on the geography of where these events took place is even more hilarious. He was brown, not white, not black. He looked like an Iraqi Jew. Obvious facts simply from looking the people who live over there. Nevertheless, the "secular academic" doesn't trust tradition. The "secular academic" requires EVIDENCE, and it is the "secular academics" that ultimately are responsible for your privilege to make this statement and send it all over the world to people you will never see or meet. Without "secular academics" there is no methodological naturalist movement in science (an attempt to describe the natural laws systematically without appealing to magic). Without a methodological naturalist movement in science, there is no Isaac Newton, no Faraday, no Guass, no Maxwell, no Babbage (created the first computer - and also a proponent of natural theology, the idea that God is revealed through his created laws, and no "contrivances" e.g., no magic or revelation, is necessary to believe in God or for creation outside of the creation of the laws themselves), etc.
And why? Why was methodological naturalism necessary for this? Because choosing to explain things by "God did it" ends the line of questioning and cuts off any possibility of finding repeatable, predictable results that can explain the phenomenon in question. In other words, _you can't learn anything by just saying "God did it" and not trying to find a mechanistic explanation!_ That doesn't mean God doesn't exist, which for some reason you people tend to assume. It simply means that the best way to find out about the natural world is to try to understand it with the things that are natural.
@JL-XrtaMayoNoCheese Sorry about you being censored. TH-cam has a weird spam algorithm. It gets me as well. I do not consider what I said as a straw man, but it's possible I misunderstood what you were saying.
1. Maybe we should establish what we respectively mean by "secular academics." I am referring academics who employ a naturalist method (the scientific method), one that is and has for hundreds of years been used by both atheists and theists alike.
2. See 1.
3. I didn't say "Methodological science," I said "Methodological naturalism." More importantly, what _evidence_ do you have besides your claims that the methodological, naturalist system we call "science" existed before the likes of Copernicus, Kepler and Galileo? (especially Galileo, who began the tradition of heavily weighing observation over reason)? Prior to them, "science" was mostly deductive. Modern science is _inductive,_ and when we say "science," it is modern science we are referring to.
4. I dispute that modern science came out of alchemy. If it came from any pseudoscience, it was _astrology_ (note that Kepler was an astrologist as well as an astronomer [and the line between them was blurred at the time], and both Galileo and Copernicus studied astrology). But that's not what made it modern science. Modern science ultimately owes its existence to the philosophical shift from pure deductive reason as a means to understand the world (Plato) to _inductive_ reasoning to understand the world (thanks in large part to Galileo). Alchemy was just the precursor to chemistry, and it was in fact the invention of modern _inductive_ science that eventually caused alchemy to be replaced by chemistry (and the same with astrology and astronomy). But I will say that alchemy was always in part inductive to begin with. It wasn't until the systematic naturalist methods pioneered by the likes of Galileo and Newton that all the extraneous aspects of alchemy were finally put to bed and modern chemistry birthed (notably, 1661 with Boyle). The major difference between the alchemy and chemistry is, of course, the scientific method - something which simply _did not exist_ as we know it until a few hundred years ago. Alchemy lived on for some time, if I'm not mistaken, but it didn't and still doesn't fit into what we would call a science (naturalistic, methodological, _inductive_ exploration and explanation of the world). Neither does astrology, which was slowly siphoned away out of astronomy. But, my point here is that the major birth-givers of science (which I argue are Copernicus, Kepler, and Galileo) were more active in astronomy and astrology than alchemy and chemistry.
5. If it was wrong, my apologies. When someone complains about secular methodological inquiry, they are usually of the "god did it" camp. It was an assumption.
6. Natural theology cannot be a non-sequitur because natural theology is not part of an argument. It is neither a conclusion nor a statement of fact, nor a hypothesis, nor anything of the sort. It's just an _ideology_ influencing theology, one focused on proving religious truths by rational arguments and observation rather than revelation, so I'm not really sure what you mean here. What do you mean by "natural theology is a non-sequitur?"

The science fiction author Robert Heinlein had one of his characters say that Jesus would have been a hearty strong man, because he was a carpenter. There were only primitive tools. You would need a lot of muscles to be a carpenter back then. His character questioned why Jesus was always depicted as skinny and frail. I think this makes a lot of sense.

Judas kiss proves that Jesus looked similar to the other Galileans.
OR perhaps, Jesus looked liked ONE of them, the apostle Thomas. The word "Thomas" means "twin". Maybe Thonas was a twin of some random guy; maybe his uncle was a twin and he was named after the uncle; maybe he just looked a bit like Jesus, so they called him "Twin" as a pune.
Best of all consider Hercules and Iphicles; Zeus and Alcmene begat Herakles, Alcmene begat Iphicles with her own husband. Maybe Thomas is the son of Joseph and blessed virgin Mary.
Or at least his disciples, who spent an inordinate amount of time around Jesus and may or may not have also adopted similar choices regarding their appearances. We really don't know. Obviously Jesus looked ethnically similar to other Galileans too, but in terms of other aspects of his appearance, there's just not enough data.
Yes regardless just say he did have a different hair colour the Roman officer wouldn’t know tbe difference anyway
It was night my friend.
And Galileans probably looked like any regular person from the middle East....so if anything Jesus looked Middle Eastern either like a semite or Arab....I don't understand why it's so difficult for people to understand this, he was born and lived in the middle East....so if course he would've looked like people from there
Judas and Jesus tongue kissed so it proves they were french.
It seems like revelations is just talking about Jesus being a flaming figure of blinding light, not to the actual color of him.
My brother-in-law thought Jesus was black. Because some "teacher" in the school he'd attended said that, based on the Book of the Revelation saying his hair was like wool (reading it, it's more about his shining appearance, so it's not saying that he's of African descent, it's more about white, shiny. Like wool.) Of course, my brother-in-law was an "independent fundamental Baptist," not really as old a denomination as some believe, and IMO, the more recent the denomination, the less educated they become.
My brother-in-law also bragged about not knowing Greek or Hebrew, didn't research things well, and also believed that the world was only 6000 years old, completely ignoring that traceable history goes back further than 6000 years...

thank you for your research Metatron. You must have spent a good amount of time bringing this to us.
Thanks for the well research video. As a Christian, I’ve researched most of the stuff myself quite a bit and came to almost exactly the same conclusion. And I don’t bring that up as confirmation bias as an interesting fact that this is one of your first videos, I ever listen to, and that two people for me greatly different backgrounds, can still come to the same conclusion when researching what documents their art to look at.
Agreed, and I'd love to share the video with a certain pastor of a certain church I was attending once. The pastor went on a sermon about how Jesus had short hair and never drank alcohol of any kind - on and on grasping at scriptures (straws) for half an hour - and I'm just sitting there stewing in silence trying my best not to say anything. Oh and I should've mentioned that half the women present had extremely short hair, just like all of the men, with the exception of the pastor's son whose hair is maybe 6 inches long. Oh and then there's me, and I haven't even trimmed my hair in a decade...
@@spacewater7why not share?
There is a line from, "Indiana Jones and the last crusade" where he is asked, "do you seek the grail for God's glory or yours?" This is the same issue I see with a lot of people trying to determine what Jesus looked like. They're not seeking it for his glory but their own. I think you did a great job of being very fair in your research from an academic and intellectual perspective. I think the fact really remains it doesn't matter because Jesus wasn't sent here to only save a skin tone but our souls.
Heres the problem with that to me what was being seemed when jesus was painted as a white surfer dude....black slaves had no problem obeying him it keep them enslaved..now the truth comes out and your racist color dint matter..well according to the bible there's a people who are lost carried by ships and scatter them among the earth.

Every kind of people have been enslaved and brought over world at some time.
If you think Blake people were the only ones then you obviously don’t care enough about history to learn it.
You shouldn’t just expect other people to educate you. Blacks weren’t even the only ones in the Atlantic slave trade, but because Africans have always enslaved each other because of tribalism there were just so many more blacks available that the others don’t receive any attention.
Great video as always, just a little mistake at 4:05 when you talk about Constantine, he didn't make Christianity the state religion, he just tolerated it, it only became the state religion at the end of the 4th century iirc. Not that important but just wanted to point it out
I made the same comment without seeing yours, even started the same saying great as always, lol. But yeah, it was only made the state religion in 380 by Theodosius with the Edict of Thessalonica. Constantine just gave it legal status and a reprieve from persecution with the Edict of Milan. I do think it's an important observation, specially if you consider that during this intermediate period (between Constantine and Theodosius) there was at least one real chance of returning to paganism with Julian the Apostate (331-363) had he not died so prematurely, but none after Theodosius.

First, thanks for the interesting explanation of the topic
Secondly, as a Muslim, we have a hadith about the Prophet Muhammad, may God bless him and grant him peace, that he saw Jesus in the sky and described him as follows:
Square in stature - that is, neither tall nor short.
- His skin color tends to be red.
- Broad-chested.
- The hair is loose - that is, the hair is loose - as if his head was dripping and no wetness had reached it.
Turns out he was born with a full beard, and shoulder length hair, just like Morgan Freeman was born an old man.

@Neach ie u mad bro?
@Neach ie that bitching up there says otherwise lol stay salty
@Neach ie in its purest form Anthropology isn’t racist. It has been used for the justification of racism and prejudice, unfortunately. Now however it’s used more to understand and place things in their proper context as we can’t put a modern western lens on everything and expect to see a complete picture. Even early anthropologists would have answered that they weren’t racist as they knew or had heard people in their lives that were actually racist even by the standards of the times. They only appear so because we have a more fair minded view as a society than used to be the case anyway. It’s not great but it’s better than it was decades ago. Also modern anthropologists are less likely to be racist as we all know the more your travel, know, and study different cultures the less likely you are to be racist as racism comes from fear which comes from ignorance.
@Neach ie I’ll admit it was difficult for me to understand what you wrote on first try. But I think you are trying to pick a fight when I am not interested in one. I am Latino. I love when non-white historians, anthropologists, and psychologists weight in on matters. The reason it’s Eurocentric is because they had access to highly education in said institutions. We need time to catch up. We do need to look at things in their proper context to fully understand them. That isn’t excusing what was done, said, or documented it’s just the truth. It’s inaccurate to only look at history from a modern perspective. Good day.
@Neach ie what about good day didn’t you understand? You’re picking a fight and aren’t interested in an intellectual discourse. Your are incorrect on many counts and I’m no longer interested in humoring you. Once again good day.
It’s so nice to see more and more Christian’s become more and more open to newly found history or better representation of facts. It to me is early sign of the church growing up a bit.

This needs more likes.
AMEN!!!!!
I actually did notice, that none of the Gospels physically describe Jesus, but I always thought, that that was a piece of information in and of itself. Meaning, that he possibly looked very typical for his area of origin and era in every way.
No, that was the way it was interpreted early on with several omissions. What we have is a book that has been altered to be read and interpreted a certain way with many embellishments along the way. which is why there are so many irregularities in the scriptures. None of this is supposed to be left up to faith in your belief
I just hate when people say that Jesus could have looked like a wide range of people but definitely not Black... Not all "Black" people are dark-skinned and sub-Saharan. And the 12 tribes have some lineages in East Africa where either they resided or traveled through.. I think he needs to define "Black" first and then give a more in-depth explanation because there are people along the Nile river (East Africa where the 12 tribes have known to pass through or mingle with) that are just as dark as Sub-Saharan peoples.. And dark-skinned Afrocentric people have been known to commonly exist in other parts of the Roman Empire... Not saying that every other person was Black, but in many places, it was common to see us here and there.. Food for thought...
@@plopplop6805 No one can tell with certainty what he looked like. Therefore, saying that ”Jesus definitely didn’t look black” would be charlatanism. All we have is indirect clues. That being said, Metatron has a good point in saying, that if Jesus looked significantly different, than the dominant population of the area, there possibly would be a mention of it, and Judas wouldn’t have to kiss him to point him out to the guards. That’s why I conclude, that in high likelihood (high likelihood is not the same as certainty), Jesus was neither pale white, nor very dark brown/black like say people from southern Sudan, but most likely olive/bronze/brown skinned with dark hair, and dark eyes. There is for instance a specific mention in the Old Testament, that David had red hair, as that was likely unusual.
Not that it matters, as he came to redeem every human being (if the tradition is to be believed), regardless of their color, social status, etc. and he explicitly sent his disciples to ALL people of the world.
With regards to the artistic depiction of Jesus: I think it’s only natural if different cultures adjust his visage to what they can relate to. After all, art is not descriptive geometry, or technical drawing. Art has a narrative role, it’s supposed to communicate a specific message to the viewer in a visual language, that the viewer would comprehend. That’s why there are depictions of Christ, that appear white, black, Asian, Inuit, etc. depending on the culture and origin of the artist. Also, in pre-enlightenment era, people weren’t as well informed as they are now, that’s why there’s so many e.g. baroque era paintings of Biblical scenes, where people wear 16th/17th century European clothes, armor, etc. even though the scene is supposed to be set in the ancient Middle East/Palestine. It looks ridiculous to our eyes today, but people simply didn’t know better back then.
@@JTM1809 Correct but what im trying to say is..... If its uncertain, then how are you certain he wasn't "Black". He cant cut the cake unevenly here. You gotta be fair.. Dark skin was around in the international Roman Empire. Just as easy it was for light skin/white skin to be in the Roman provinces of Africa is just how easy it was for darker skin tones/hair textures to be in the European provinces of Rome. How do we assume Dark skinned people didn't travel as much as light/white people? Where does this assumption come from that Dark skinned Africans stayed put knowing that trade extended into Africa for resources? Darker skin tones exist in North Africa as well. Thats my point.. There is no evidence or primary sources to state that darker skinned people weren't in present Day Italy and Greece. And given that the 12 tribes have had extensive histories in Nile Valley, how can you rule out that maybe, MAYBE, there were some dark skin tones. And my last point is.. "Black" doesn't always mean the darkest Skin tone and Sub Saharan.

It’s pretty ignorant to believe that if someone recognizes the difference in ethnicity is racist- that’s not even in the realm of the true definition of racism
And you think it is?
So by YOUR definition of racism- if I say a person of that the typical or standard description of someone from Eastern Asia has small slanted eyes, and very small features. Very high cheekbones,high nose bridge, small nose, and African- Easter-Western -Ethiopian- Sub-Saharan all different yet basically have a broad/ wide bride nose, flat like or wide nostrils, and fuller lips, yet very diverse in skin color/tone hair texture and eye color. And Mexican- very diverse in skin, hair, eye color and yet their basic traits are most have higher, broader forehead, oilier skin, ( great trait to have btw. ) higher cheekbones, generally brown, green, hazel eyes. However, since most Mexicans are a mixture of many races to give them a general or “common” trait other than most have black-brown hair brown- green eyes. And White people? For some reason if someone has blond, red, brown hair, light blue, green, brown, etc eyes and light or “White” skin they’re “White” people. But truth is, at least in the U.S.- since at least the 60’s there are very few “European Whites”. Most are mixed with Black, Brown, Yellow, and even as far back as the 1600s Native American- yet by YOUR standards pointing this out is somehow racist? It’s only “racist” in the mind of a racist.
They- whomever you choose they to be- I KNOW who “they” are. But THEY will say and do anything to keep division alive. Be it by saying someone is racist for pointing out genetic factual differences- not by TRUE RACISM which is one race thinking they’re better than another race- which is not true, no one is above or better than the other. - Or be it by putting others in a “class” aka- the elite, the upper class, middle class, lower class etc. - people are where they are at least in this country because they either worked for it or didn’t. No one has held anyone back. ( yeah I know I’m gonna get hi5 for that statement, but it’s true) and religion- if they can keep the Baptist hating the Catholic, hating the Jewish people and the Atheist hating them all- well hey, they’ve got a good hate group going there. ( and nope I didn’t mention Muslims, or Hindu, or Buddhists- thats a whole other novella. Anyway, as long as we are kept in poverty, busy worrying about how to pay our bills, how to pay for the drug prescriptions they’ve got us hooked on, how to keep our home from being stolen either by them or the squatters, then we are not looking at or focusing on their crimes.

Yes, but many Christians don't follow the Bible. In this day and age Blacks are obsessed with race because it's a backlash of years of racism against them. Also, since racism has declined substantially and Black countries have become independent they have not been successful, so, Christian or not, many Black Christians are obsessed with His race because they need to to justify themselves somehow.
@Chad Larsen literally so mad at facts lmao, get a grip
As a non-Christian, that it doesn't matter is one of the things I admire about your religion. Although Christianity had trouble with racism, that was something that seems not to be present at the beginning and was far from universal.
It's actually reasonably common in Christian art for Jesus to be depicted in the style and ethnicity of the audience. We have Nordic Jesus in northern Europe. That's doesn't show racism when there is East Asian Jesus in China and Japan, black Jesus in Africa, and an Indian Jesus who wears saffron and sits in the Lotus position.

It's refreshing that your own perspective does not lead you to rule out what may be taken from them, at the very least, as "period writings" that would be indicative of expectations and assumptions.
Your logic and detective work are very careful, and I greatly appreciate that.

no special appearance that we should want to follow him'' Isaiah 53:2
Thank you, that was the verse I was trying to think of that I believe applies here as well.
Don’t care what he looked like. Love what he did.
Revelation Chapter 2 Verse 9. "I know your works, tribulation, and poverty (but you are rich); and I know the blasphemy of those who say they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan."
Revelation chapter 3 verse 9 " Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee."
Seems to me that by these scriptures he cares what his people looked like, how people treated them, and he made it clear that his people are impoverished and they have been for a long time. He also pointed out in the scripture that there is an awakening for the ones who stole the identities of the real Israelites and continue to lie about it. The messiah looked like his people but if you have been lied to about what his people looked like you might have been deceived but it's not your fault. We inherited a few flaws from forefathers in history with the lies about the Israelites identity and the history of the Bible. Some truth is coming out but You gotta be willing to understand it for your own salvation. Peace.
Yes you do.
Exactly
Well what he looks like or where he is from dictates what he did or how it was done but I understand you brother. Jesus is just another hero.... Buddha was a hero, Muhammad, and so many more lost to time. Ppl fail to realize Jesus isn't the pinnacle of existence or even religion but a great schism
@@KIDSOUL777 What in the world are you talking about? Jesus and his Father could care less what we look like. If that were the case then there would be no diversity in the human race🤦🏿♀️. Stop misinterpreting the Scriptures. The problem is people are claiming and professing to be Christians but nothing they do reflects what it means to be a true Christian (💎Matthew 15:8; 💎 Isaiah 29:13 and true worshiper of our Almighty God
💎 Genesis 17:1; 35:11 whose name by the way is Jehovah "JAH" for short ( 💎 Psalm 68:4) and Follower of his Son Jesus Christ, the Son of God
💎 Hebrews 4:14 who is also our Mighty God and Eternal Father (💎Isaiah 9:6)
The people God and His Son Jesus care about are those practicing pure worship, worship that is free of unscriptural pagan traditional practices and worship that doesn't have at its foundation the false doctrine of the Devil, (Trinity)🤷🏿♀️.
No distinction is made of God’s people/children... Jews and Gentiles. We are all one in God and Jesus’s eyes. READ FIRST
💎 Galatians 3:28; then Read
💎Galatians 3:8-15.
Distinction was made, during old Testament times, between Jews, (God’s chosen people) and Gentiles. But that "went out the window" so to speak when the law and animal sacrifice was no longer being used as a means to ones Salvation. JESUS as the sacrifice (the sacrificial Lamb of God). He Came not to destroy the law but to fulfill the law
💎Matthew 5:17. You forgot that the Jews, God’s chosen people rejected their own (Jesus Christ) and brought sin upon themselves? Jesus, the promised one to the Jews, rejected him as the Messiah and God's anointed king of his Heavenly kingdom even though he specifically came to save them from themselves. The hypocrites that they were 💎Matthew 23). BUT they denied him. I suggest you read 💎Luke chapter 2 in its entirety. Now God’s chosen people both Jews and Gentiles are NOW ALL HIS CHILDREN, those who follow the new commandments established by Christ recorded at 💎 Matthew 22:36-40. You may want to to Study the Bible a bit deeper and stop making up your own story about what you think the Scripture is saying and focus on what it is actually says.. this may just save your life.
I asked a question back in the sixties as a young boy as to the colour of Jesus..... The man ( and I truly wish I could remember his name) responded. " Jesus was born in the middle east so was not white or black but in-between, this was on purpose by God as his Son represented all colours.. this has stuck with me me all my life and although there is a campaign to make him one colour or another in my mind he belongs to all nations...in the end when all our material belongings and beliefs are judged we will stand before our creator as one being....and ultimately as the one he created...
The Gospels don’t tell us what Jesus looks like because He wants us to see Himself in our neighbor.
Exactly my thoughts. Jesus himself is a symbol for salvation, for unity, his appearance would matter little given he is supposed to be seen in all of us
That would be likely if he stated that himself. In the Quran Muhammad, peace be apon him, wanted to no form of iconography of himself to ever exist fearing it would make Muslims worship himself than Allah. I have never seen any old text that says Jesus had similar statements because the Bible was written roughly 100 years after his death so its possible and could have influenced Islam to follow suit in a more literal manner or vice versa.
@@theamericankaiser4549 Interesting.
@@theamericankaiser4549 We have no idea what Muhammad really wanted as he's not really mentioned in the qoran and the muslim tradition was written 250 years after to be used as legal system for the caliphate.
@@Forerunner2 While He is a symbol for salvation, to the Christian He is much more than that...He is the way to salvation(not merely a symbol).
As s Greek I want to congratulate you for your translation of the original text. It's really accurate.
Stop being a GEEK !
@@BogalaSawundiris I'm not. Greek is my native language.
All you have to do is look at the real Jewish people now a days and get the look of JESUS CHRIST It may not be exactly what you want but it is a clue of what JESUS CHRIST looks like.❤

@@Agnes-lr4yx😅 SMH. Surely your forefathers have told you lies! Those who are treated LAST in society, sold as slaves, and the most hated around the WORLD, are those HE spoke of!
Not the Synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews and are not!!!
I am a Christian and I have to say I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this video. I love history and the way you explain things. Keep it up!!
Also, I've never believed Jesus being white. Well, not never. But as I grew up and learned about other cultures and history and geography and all that jazz, it seemed weird to believe He was a faired skin, blue eyed man.
Anyway, greetings from Costa Rica. Love your videos.
He was white as people from the Mediterranean, where Jesus was from, are considered white. Jesus was not Northern European though.
@@gch8810 Daniel 7:9 Hair like the pure wool.
Yeah He wouldn't be European white with blue eyes and long hair. In the Bible it says Jesus didn't stand out from the crowd. If he was very white with long hair he'd stand out so much and people will stare at him all the time. But they didn't. At the same time he didn't look ugly either because then he'd also stand out. He was an average looking Jewish man among fellow Jews in Israel. Most likely tanned skin (he was outside a lot) and short hair with body build similar to other men around him at the time. He was average looking with no distinct appearance that would give Him away easily.
I have an idea, lets focus on the single most meaningless aspect of Jesus and everything He taught, lets specifically go against every single thing He taught about man that is important and has value and instead and concern ourselves with the color of His skin. Sounds like a great idea.
Pale skin, not fair at all. Sickly is pale, fair is olive, copper feet to match. You know what some of you call black it's trueness is Copper, olive skinned. Just like the penny.
my name "Mirjam" (מִרְיָם (mireyām)) was given after the sister of Moses. As I understood, is this also the name for Mary (Maria or whatever language you speak) is that correct?
On how Jesus' hair looked like: you did say in the video as well about how Judas had to go and kiss Jesus to tell the Romans who they needed to arrest because he didn't look much different from the other disciples, so likely at that time Jesus had the same hair and beard style as his disciples. Because as you pointed out about other characteristics, Judas could've said "the one with the very long hair/short hair is Jesus" or "the one with/without beard is him".
Yes, absolutely
Dude you realise there never was a jesus. No judas either. Great book but no different to a good James patterson...
@@Trev794 Serious historians (even atheist ones) don't doubt the existence of Jesus as a person. Let that sink in.
@@Trev794 He's mentioned in Roman sources
@@vincemajestic2650 the name jesus is in roman sources yes... Was he the son of God making ppl walk again. You decide 😂😂😂
As a Christian, I really enjoyed this. It actually doesn’t differ much from what I already believed. I’ve dreamt of Christ once. It was the only time ever in my life and I was sick with a terrible flu. He looked like a cross between middle eastern and Mediterranean. In this dream he looked olive skinned, with long dark hair and with slight curls in it. He had, round eyes and they were brown. His nose was a bit pronounced, with medium lips. His facial hair was well enough kept but thin enough for me to see his smile. He smiled at me and I awoke. It felt very personal. It was a very nice dream.
You remembered your dream very well, kid.
I would kind of imagine him like that as well.
Thank you so much for sharing this dream my Christian Brother..... I wish I had such dreams. I must ask you though, did you see any trace of red in his hair? You see, he is sometimes described as having some form of red or golden color to his hair. I know of brown hair that has a red and/or golden shine to it, especially when walking in the sun (such as my hair ironically).
oh my god you're a prophet
no not because of the dream!
YOU CAN ACTUALLY REMEMBER DREAMS
HE IS THE MESSIAH
yall are weird af. yeshua was black
@@adam-ip3xe ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no, probably not. Unless of course you have another theory apart form the often used "Vision of the Son of man", which is completely debunked in this video.
Now I'm imagining Jesus as a guy with long white hair, yellow skin and amber eyes...
So he's like an earth Genasi?
The Emperor of Man?
I imagine him more like a being of fire now.
He was black
