Ethiopia (Bible-period Africa) is mentioned so many times in the Bible that one would presume that its extensive political, cultural and economic significance in the Biblical period was common knowledge.
Below, find a few examples of the recognition given to Africa in the ancient times:

Can the Ethiopian change his skin, or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do good, that are accustomed to do evil.

Are you not as children of Ethiopia unto me, O children of Israel. Have I not brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt?

I totally agree with the part about the color does not matter, but I would also like to bring this commom era fact to light. It appears that the curiosity of man is beginning to smack him in the face, meaning, If they weren’t so curious to discover God’s mysteries and works then we wouldn’t be having these debates in the first place. I found it rather amusing that scientist are finding the answers for their on going questions. I think that we are getting exactly what we deserve as inquisitive minded people, furthermore look at the national disaster…The earth is leaking Oil….HELLO!!! is anyone paying atttention to this? We will ultimately lead to our own demise, the roles have been reversed: before we were put here to maintain the earth, now since mankind has crept his way upon it again, it seems that the earth protects us!!! Man leans to his own understanding, thus co creating stuff which in returns comes from natural elements of the earth to begin with, but they pride themselves off of the fact that they can send someone to the moon or put a telescope into orbit….please!!! with all of the space shuttles entering and exiting the atmosphere…no wonder the polar ice caps are melting. Bottome line, we as mankind have more important things that we should be directing our attention towards instead of one another. Don’t jude a book by its cover or a man by his color…that is an original quote so don’t steal it..lol. The only way things will ever get better is if we work together and we all know the devil doesn’t want unity unless it’s doing his work and the last time i checked, his work is the reason we have all this mess going on in the first place. WAKE UP PEOPLE! stop debating things that really shouldn’t matter because regardless of what we debate…..i still believe the truth shall come to the light and those who are used to living in darkness will reject that which the light reveals! the debate about race is a created debate to begin with, so who will ever have an answer to suffice…..no one. I like Black the like White!!! prime example!
yes my brothren god love the truth I’m set here read my book by nana blanch darwah;ph;the africa who rote the bible biblical time of us Egyptian
Thank you , very inlighting.Yea shall know the truth,and the truth shall make you free.
And how do his people parish?Because of the lack of knowlege
Ras Clod Bwoi! What is it in the libraries of Alexandria , Cairo and other places in Egypt that they didn’t what us to see that pertains to Christianity?
What people need to realize during the 400 silent years between Old Testament & New Testament Alexander the Great and another person destroyed the Libraries, Monuments, of Aleaxandria, Egypt and kept the most importat info {History of Egpt and Bible} with the Rich Clergy of the Church while the Laity (Church Attendee’s} didn’t have access to the real truth. The Greek Philosphers studied from the Egyptian school of thought.
How when it come to whites and other races color doesn’t matter–but when it comes to black mentioning in the bible Color now matter. I don’t get it.
Hey mon, it don’t matter bout color cause we all heathen Gentiles, but if you believe in the Almighty Jesus Christ as your Savior, then we are graffted into His kingdom! If you truly believe this then it’s like your Gods’ adopted children. Amen brothers and sisters
We can try to ignore it all we wnt but racism is alive & well. We still r slaves to dem but n God’s eyes, we r his ppl. & he show’s great love toward us some just dnt no how to recieve it because da still have a slavery mindset
We think we are suposeto have straight hair talk & walk like someone else when all along we are who we are &who we are God’s children who were made in his own image. thats right in His likeness
Come one and all together, let’s fortify our human race cause we are one.
Concerning the Library in Alexandria and other secular meeting grounds…those book are just books. Just as any other book. The one thing I learned about reading is, you can compare it to a buffet. You may be able to see the whole buffet, but surely you can’t eat everything that is set before you, therefore you only eat what you know you can handle. The truth is, ALL BOOKS UPON THIS EARTH have been manipulated and distorted. We are currently living in a time when the common trend is EVERYONE GET ALONG, but this is something that is of new origin. The races have always stuck to one another’s own and the only reason everyone wants to get along now is because we all can benefit from one another, but the fact still remains that there was this certain groug that TYRANNIZED and CHEATED everyone. This group is responsible for the library in Alexandria and the ancient Egyptians being painted white. This same group has put a lieing dog into authority, named Zahi Hawass, the current Egyptologist that runs the CURRENT DISTORTION AND DESTRUCTION of ANCIENT BLACK CIVILIZATIONS. I am not pointing the finger at anyone, but the truth must be told and to BE HONEST WITH YOU….THIS CERTAIN GROUP WOULD RATHER I DIE THAN TO KNOW THE TRUTH! I will say one other thing though…no matter how much this group has tried to destroy MY PEOPLE, with their slavetrade, giving us a new language and new names…completely DESTROYING MY HERITAGE…THEY STILL NEVER FACTOR IN THE HEAVENS INTO THEIR EQUATION…like…I know I can read the Bible, Koran, Torah, Tanak and any other books that are here upon this earth. If you really want to know the TRUTH then the TRUTH ONLY COMES FROM ABOVE. NO ONE CAN GET IN THE WAY OF THE HEAVENS WHEN THEY HAVE TO relay a message from the MOST HIGH TO MANKIND…no book can suffice. No preacher or teacher can suffice. If you really want to know the truth and what is really going on in this world then what did the MESSIAH PROMISE? Ye shall know the TRUTH and the TRUTH SHALL SET YOU FREE….I AM FREE PEOPLE AND HIS NAME IS NOT JESUS CHRIST, NOR JESUS THE CHRIST. JESUS could not have been his name because if he spoke HEBREW, ARAMAIC or GREEK…neither has A LETTER J in its alphabet. Therefore THEY NEVER CALLED HIM (J)esus…this name is recently new. His name is YESHUA HA MASHIOK…YESHUA=jesus….HA=the….MASHIOK=the annointed….DOES ANYONE SPEAK MY LANGUAGE because THIS IS WHAT THE HEAVENS HAS REVEALED TO ME? What is man, but a VAPOR? No matter what these people do to distort the TRUTH….YE SHALL KNOW THE TRUTH AND THE TRUTH SHALL MAKE YOU FREE….IT SURE FEELS GOOD TO BE FREE…I HOPE YOU JOIN ME SOON!
I think africa is d new heaven.dat God promise us.
