✨ Melanated Lineages in the Bible and Apocrypha From Adam to Christ — The Bloodline of Dark-Skinned People of the Scriptures ⸻ 🧬 1. Adam and Eve — The Root of Humanity Scripture: Genesis 2:7 “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life.” Region: Ancient Mesopotamia (Eden, between the Tigris and Euphrates Rivers). Notes: The word Adam comes from adamah meaning red-brown earth, symbolizing dark skin made from the soil. ⸻ 🌊 2. Noah — The Preserver of the Line Scripture: Genesis 9:1 “And God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.” Region: Mount Ararat (modern Turkey/Iraq area). Notes: Noah’s three sons — Shem, Ham, and Japheth — repopulated the earth after the flood. ⸻ 🌍 3. Ham — Father of the African Nations Scripture: Genesis 10:6 “And the sons of Ham; Cush, and Mizraim, and Phut, and Canaan.” Region: Africa (Cush = Ethiopia/Sudan, Mizraim = Egypt, Phut = Libya, Canaan = Israel/Levant). Notes: Ham’s line carried the dark-skinned civilizations of Africa and Canaan, including ancient Egypt and Nubia. ⸻ 🌄 4. Shem — Father of the Afro-Asiatic Line Scripture: Genesis 10:21 “Unto Shem also, the father of all the children of Eber…” Region: Arabia, Mesopotamia, Canaan. Notes: Shem’s descendants include Abraham, the Israelites, Assyrians, and Arabs — all of Afro-Asiatic descent. ⸻ 🕊️ 5. Abraham — The Father of Many Nations Scripture: Genesis 17:5 “For a father of many nations have I made thee.” Region: Ur of the Chaldees (Iraq) → Canaan. Notes: Abraham was a descendant of Shem. His seed led to the twelve tribes of Israel and other Semitic peoples of color. ⸻ 🔥 6. Moses — The Deliverer of Israel Scripture: Exodus 2:19 “An Egyptian delivered us out of the hand of the shepherds.” Region: Egypt and Sinai. Notes: Moses was mistaken for an Egyptian, showing he shared the same dark complexion. His wife Zipporah was a Cushite (Numbers 12:1). ⸻ 👑 7. David — The Warrior King Scripture: 1 Samuel 16:12 “Now he was ruddy, and withal of a beautiful countenance, and goodly to look to.” Region: Israel (Tribe of Judah). Notes: “Ruddy” in Hebrew means a deep, reddish-brown tone — describing a rich dark complexion, not pale skin. ⸻ 💎 8. Solomon — The Wise King Scripture: Song of Solomon 1:5–6 “I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem.” Region: Jerusalem, Kingdom of Israel. Notes: Solomon and his people were melanated Israelites with close relations to Egypt and Cush. ⸻ ✝️ 9. Christ (Yeshua) — The Fulfillment of the Line Scripture: Revelation 1:14–15 “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace.” Region: Judah (Bethlehem, Nazareth, Egypt). Notes: Yeshua descended through the royal line of David and Solomon. His woolly hair and bronze skin mark Him as a melanated man of the tribe of Judah (Hebrews 7:14). ⸻ 📖 10. Apocrypha Testimonies of the Melanated Line • Wisdom of Solomon 1:1–6 — written by King Solomon, mirroring African royal wisdom. • Judith 10:4–5 — Hebrew woman of dark beauty and strength. • 2 Esdras 1:7–9 — Israel scattered through Africa and the islands. • Tobit 13:10 — Israelites dwelling among dark nations of Nineveh and Media. • 1 Maccabees 3:48 — warning of foreign powers “painting the likeness of their images” (depicting false white idols). ⸻ 🧭 Summary From Adam’s creation in the red-brown soil of Eden to Christ’s bronze feet and woolly hair, the Bible and Apocrypha consistently describe melanated people leading civilization, faith, and prophecy. The Scriptures are rooted in Africa and the Afro-Asiatic world — not Europe — confirming that God’s chosen line was dark-skinned and divine in purpose. #darkskin #bible #thewholeworld #maga #disciples - @mishabestboykins
