Greetings
Brethren,
If you sincerely
seek the Truth of God with all your heart be wise and Godly. Don't bow to the
evils of humankind that has poured sin upon the world denouncing race, culture and
ethnic origins. The people of God sacrifice and find Joy and Peace while
keeping God first. Race and culture is important but the ways of the wicked can
cloud the judgment of even a wise man.
LET IT BE
WRITTEN IT IS ONE OF THE GREATEST FEATS OF BLASPHEMY TO NOTE GOD, JESUS THE
PROPHETS AND THE APOSTLES IN A RACIAL CONTEXT TO JUSTIFY THAT THESE DIVINE
INDIVIDUALS REPRESENT YOU AND NOT ALL OTHER PEOPLE.
Peace and Love,
Carl Patton
writing for the FreedomJournal October 29, 2002 in the year of our Lord and
Savior Jesus Christ.
RACE AND GOD(BLACK NOR WHITE)
PART 15: VISIONS OF CHRIST
In the name of
Jehovah God, Master of the universe, Ruler of the earth.
Our strength is
found in the Creator. Thus, we thank God for the Truth of His Word. The Word
renders Peace and Paradise and the blessings of our Savior Jesus Christ the Son
of man and our comforter the Holy Spirit. The presence of Jesus is noted
throughout the Bible. However as we pursue our topic, we must be careful when
we apply scripture to Jesus. The record shows that some scriptures that many
think relate to Jesus do not.
We find further
revelations in the Book of Daniel as we pursue the essence of Rev. 1:14.
Daniel 7:13.
"I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came
with the
clouds of
heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and he brought him near before
him."
Here we see Son
of man meaning Christ the Messiah. "Ancient of days" refers to God
the Father. The phrase "near before him," reveals the close
association of these two divine Beings. Thus, God the Father and the Messiah
Jesus Christ would bring to the world principles necessary to accomplish the
things previously predicted in this chapter.
Jesus also referred to this verse in Matthew 26:64, Luke 21:27 and John
1:51.
We pose a point
of information at this time. Our major objective in this series is to show by
using the Bible that references to God, Jesus, the Prophets and Apostles
regarding race, color by way of images, pictures statutes etc. are ungodly. The
reference to race especially regarding Jesus has been an ungodly part of White
and Black Supremacy. Therefore we come to dispute and refute those that even
attempt to use the Bible to support these things that are not of God.
In the Book of
Ezekiel we see some prominent scripture that relates to our subject and the
verse presently up for review. Thus we now turn to the Book of Ezekiel that is
noted prior to the Book of Daniel.
Ezekiel was a
priest and a prophet. God chose him to be His prophet and preach his message. Our scripture lesson in Ezekiel is taken from
the 1st chapter. We note here that the first three chapters in the Book of
Ezekiel describe Ezekiel's vision of the Lord's glory and tells how the Lord
appointed Ezekiel to be his prophet. We
also note that when the Lord speaks to Ezekiel he calls him "son of
man." Although this expression shows that Ezekiel is human it also shows
that he has been appointed to preach the Lord's message to the people of Judah
and Jerusalem.
Our primary
verse is taken from Ezekiel 1:26. However, we advise the reader to refer to
verses 25- 28 in this chapter.
Ezekiel 1:26.
"And above all the firmament that was over their heads was the likeness of
a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone: and upon the likeness of the
throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above upon it."
This throne was
the source of the voice mentioned in verse 25. The Bible often mentions
precious stones to refer to God's arrangements. On this throne was the likeness
of man that refers to the Almighty. In Genesis 1:26 and in other places it is
noted that man was made in God's image. Nevertheless, we must be careful to
note that it is God and not His image that is noted in this passage.
We will now note
the two following verses because they refer to color. However we note the
entire verses and an explanation to note that these verses are not assigning a
color or race to God or Jesus.
Ezekiel 1:27.
"And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about
within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the
appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire,
and it had brightness round about."
This is a highly
figurative description of the Almighty. The real meaning here is that God is as
intense as fire. God is also resplendent as amber. Finally God in His entire
Being is radiant with indescribable glory.
Ezekiel 1:28.
"As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so
was the appearance of the brightness round about. This was the appearance of
the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face,
and I heard a voice of one that spake."
In this passage
we see another figure added to the picture of the Almighty. This figure is
noted as the rainbow. The rainbow spans the heavens shedding bright colors (all
of the primary colors) after the storm. This vision had a great impact on
Ezekiel that he fell to the ground. He stayed prostrated until he heard a voice
speaking unto him.
