Skin color and Torah? Huh?

Exodus 20:13

Do not MURDER.”

1 John 3:15 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

Everyone who HATES HIS BROTHER is a MURDERER, and you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.”

Deuteronomy 23:8 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

But you are not to DETEST an EDOMITE, because HE IS YOUR BROTHER.”

How many black Hebrew Israelites hate white people whom they falsely call Edomites? This puts you in violation of Torah twice in Exodus and Deuteronomy. Anyone who does the will of YAHWEH is your brother (Matthew 12:46-50) including the white man you hate so much. I did a message 3 years ago titled “Salvation is NOT just for Black Hebrew Israelites!” But as I anticipated the racism within the Torah community continues to rage on! Skin color is something that is worldly and used to divide people and should never be discussed amongst the Torah observant because YAHWEH’s people are everywhere! YAHWEH sent His Son YESHUA to die for ALL people not SOME! We will discuss who the real Jews, the real meaning of Revelation 2:9, and again show the Edomite doctrine to be false!

Even those who say they are not racist but still hold onto to the skin color doctrine put skin color at the forefront of their ministry! As a matter of fact there are some ministries out there whose sole mission is to talk about black people being the “true Jews!” Did you not know that there are Black Jews such as Beta Yisra’el which are Ethiopians and also the Lemba tribe, but there are also Sephardic (Spanish) Jews, Kaifeng (Chinese) Jews, Yemenite Jews, and Ashkenazi Jews! In other words, YAHWEH’s people are scattered to the four corners of the earth.  I have said it before and I will say it again, if your identity in this walk is based on your skin color and not in serving YESHUA then you are already lost! The ONLY color you should be focused on is the color RED which is the blood that YESHUA SHED for the entire world! I don’t care about skin color because I know that ANYONE no matter what color can be saved if they keep the commandments of the Torah and believe in YESHUA!

Furthermore, we all have transgressed and fallen short of ELOHIM’s esteem including black people! The point is that it’s never been about US, rather it’s always been about HIM!

2 Corinthians 5:15 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

For the Messiah’s love has hold of us, because we are convinced that one man died on behalf of ALL mankind (which implies that ALL mankind was already dead), and that He died on behalf of ALL in order that those who live SHOULD NOT LIVE ANY LONGER FOR THEMSELVES BUT FOR THE ONE WHO ON THEIR BEHALF DIED AND WAS RAISED.”

1 Peter 1:18-20 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

“You should be aware that the ransom PAID TO FREE YOU from the worthless way of life which your fathers passed on to you did not consist of anything perishable like silver or gold; 19 on the contrary, it was the costly bloody sacrificial death of the Messiah, as of a lamb without defect or spot. 20 ELOHIM knew Him before the founding of the universe, but revealed Him in the last days for your sakes. 21 Through Him you trust in ELOHIM, who raised Him from the dead and gave him glory; so that your trust and hope are in ELOHIM.”

We are to tell the world about Him and the Good News!

Matthew 24:14 (Hebrewgospels.com)

And then the GOOD NEWS will be preached in ALL THE WORLD as a testimony to ALL THE PEOPLES and then will the end come.”

The Good News shall be preached to the ENTIRE WORLD, not those whom you deem to be worthy! But instead of preaching the Good News of YESHUA, your “good news” is the color of your skin as you continue to bask in the flesh! But for those who boast in skin color as if they are automatically saved should let these words that YESHUA spoke humble you!

Matthew 8:11-12 (Hebrewgospels.com)

And I say to you that many will come from sun-rising and from sunset, and will rest with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in the kingdom of heavens, BUT MANY OF THE SONS OF YISRA’EL WILL BE HUMILIATED OUTSIDE IN DARKNESS. And there will be weeping and trembling from EL.”

Many who call themselves “The True Jews”, “The True Israelites”, “The Chosen People” will not be in the kingdom, but only those of any color who keep the commandments and believe in YESHUA!  Did you not know that the very ones you claim will not enter the kingdom will be considered more of a native-born if they do YAHWEH’s will, then those of you who claim they are native-born but do not do His will? So what does Revelation 2:9 that is used so much really mean?

Revelation 2:9 (Hebrewgospels.com)

I know your works and your sufferings, and the reproach of those who SAY THAT THEY ARE JEWS WHILE THEY ARE NOT, but are of the SONS OF HA-SATAN.”

Revelation 3:9 (Hebrewgospels.com)

Look, I will give that those who are the company of Ha-Satan, WHO SAY THAT THEY ARE JEWS WHILE THEY ARE NOT-ONLY DECEIVERS-look, I am pleased to make that they will come to do supplication at your feet, and to acknowledge that I have loved you.”

John 8:44 (Hebrewgospels.com)

You are the SONS OF HA-SATAN your father, therefore you take pleasure in doing the WILL OF YOUR FATHER. He was a murderer at the beginning, and did not abide in truth, for there is no truth with him. For everything which he speaks is a lie; he speaks which that which is nigh to him; for he is its father, and he is a liar.”

So, who claim they are JEWS and are NOT?

Romans 2:25-28 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

Then, you who teach others, don’t you teach yourself? Preaching, “Thou shalt not steal, do you steal?. Saying, “Though shalt not commit adultery,” do you commit adultery? Detesting idols, do you commit idolatrous acts? You who take such pride in Torah, do you, by DISOBEYING TORAH, DISHONOR ELOHIM? As it says in the Tanakh, “For it is because of YOU THAT ELOHIM’S NAME IS BLASHPHEMED by the gentiles.” For circumcision is indeed of value IF YOU DO WHAT TORAH SAYS. But if you are a transgressor of Torah, your circumcision has become uncircumcision! Therefore, if an uncircumcised man keeps the righteous requirements of the Torah, won’t his uncircumcision be counted as circumcision? Indeed, the man who is physically uncircumcised BUT OBEYS the Torah will stand as a judgment on you who have had circumcision and have Torah written but violate it? For the REAL JEW is not merely Jewish outwardly: true circumcision is not ONLY external and physical. On the contrary, the REAL JEW is one INWARDLY; and true circumcision is of the heart, spiritual not literal; so that his praise comes not from other people but from ELOHIM.”

Paul is saying that the REAL JEW is the one who obeys the Torah and is not a hypocrite in it! You see, the gentile who obeys the Torah, his gentile status becomes native-born status, but the native-born who disobeys the Torah, his native-born status becomes gentile status. The one that is hypocritical in Torah is a deceiver because he tells others to obey Torah and YET calls himself a real Jew, but is the main one transgressing the Torah. So, these are those who “SAY THEY ARE JEWS AND ARE NOT!” As its written in Revelation.

Paul mentioned in Romans 2 about obedience to Torah and not being hypocritical in it; and what does the Torah teach us? TO LOVE!! WHICH IS SOMETHING YOU AREN’T DOING!

Leviticus 19:18 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

Don’t take vengeance on or bear a grudge against any of your people; rather, love your neighbor as yourself; I am YAHWEH.” Verse 33-34 “If a FOREIGNER stays with you in your land, do not do him wrong. Rather, treat the foreigner staying with you LIKE THE NATIVE-BORN among you—you are to LOVE HIM AS YOURSELF, for you were foreigners in the land of Egypt; I am YAHWEH your ELOHIM.”

Who are the chosen people of YAHWEH?

Revelation 14:12 (Hebrewgospels.com)

Here is the hope of the set-apart ones, and here are THOSE (ANYONE) who do the commandments of YAHWEH, AND believe in YESHUA.”

Ephesians 2:17-19 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

17 Also, when he came, He announced as Good News shalom to you far off (Gentiles) and shalom to those nearby (Native-born),[a18 news that through him we BOTH have access in one Spirit to the Father.19 So then, you are no longer foreigners and strangers. On the contrary, you are fellow-citizens with ELOHIM’s people and members of ELOHIM’s family. 

And before someone tries to say that Paul taught against circumcision see: Romans 3:1, Galatians 5:11, and Romans 4:11. Paul is emphasizing the fact that a gentile will be considered a native-born by his obedience to Torah and not his hypocrisy in it.

1 Timothy 1:3-4 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

As I counseled you when I was leaving for Macedonia, stay on in Ephesus, so that you may order certain people who are teaching a DIFFERENT DOCTRINE TO STOP. Have them stop devoting their attention to myths and NEVER-ENDING GENEALOGIES; THESE DIVERT PEOPLE TO SPECULATING INSTEAD OF DOING ELOHIM’S WORK, which requires trust.”

What Paul said is correct, so many are concerned about what tribe they are from and looking at another’s skin color that they do more speculating on things that don’t matter instead of doing the work that YAHWEH has called us to do which is to reach the lost, teach them the commandments and tell them about the Good News of YESHUA! They are teaching “another doctrine” by proclaiming that certain races cannot be saved!

Titus 3:9 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

But AVOID stupid controversies, GENEALOGIES, quarrels and fights about the Torah; because they are WORTHLESS AND FUTILE.”

John 6:63 (Hebrewgospels.com)

It is the Ruach (Spirit) that makes alive; THE FLESH DOES NOT BENEFIT ANYONE. The words that I spoke to you are Spirit and life…”

YESHUA says that the flesh will not benefit anyone, yet many are looking at the fleshly skin color of another to determine whether they can be saved or not! This is carnal thinking and opposed to walking in the Spirit!

1 Corinthians 15:50 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

Let me say this, brothers: FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT SHARE IN THE KINGDOM OF ELOHIM, NOR CAN SOMETHING THAT DECAYS SHARE IN WHAT DOES NOT DECAY!”

Thanksgiving Hymns (Dead Sea Scrolls Penguin Classics) page 266

And the gates of Hell shall open on ALL THE WORKS OF VANITY; and the doors of the Pit shall close on the conceivers of wickedness; and the everlasting bars shall be bolted on the ALL THE SPIRITS OF NAUGHT.”

Oxford languages defines Vanity as “excessive PRIDE in or admiration OF ONES OWN APPEARANCE OR ACHEIVEMENTS.”

Sounds like many have excessive PRIDE in the appearance of their own skin color which is a work of vanity and many take pride in their own achievements when YESHUA says:

John 15:4 (Hebrewgospels.com)

Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch is not able to make fruit of itself-except it abides in the stem—so you are NOT ABLE TO MAKE FRUIT, EXCEPT YOU ABIDE IN ME. I am the stem, and you are the branches who abide in Me, and I in him. It is he who bears much fruit. FOR YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO DO ANYTHING WITHOUT ME. If one does not abide in Me, he is sent outside like the branch, and it dries out. Then they gather it and keep it in the fire, and it burns.”

Thanksgiving Hymns (Hymn 10) page 267

And yet I, a creature of clay, WHAT AM I? Kneaded with water, WHAT IS MY WORTH AND MY MIGHT? For I have stood in the realm of wickedness and my lot was with the damned…”

The writer of the Thanksgiving Hymns says “What am I?” “What is my worth and might?” He even says that he was headed to the place of the damned; in otherwise he is not basking in the flesh because none of us is worthy! So how can the color of your skin suddenly make you worthy? You should be adopting the same mentality as him and humble yourselves, repent! We are nothing without YESHUA, yet many think that they are something because of the color of their skin! This line of thinking will have you being the branch that is dried up and thrown into the fire. Knowing what the scriptures say about how flesh and blood do not profit and will not enter the kingdom, why spend all your days talking about it? Your skin color will NOT SAVE YOU! Save your energy and efforts doing what YAHWEH wants and not what you “think” is important!

Matthew 3:9 (Hebrewgospels.com)

And you must not say in your hearts, ‘Abraham is our father’, for I say unto you that EL is able to make alive sons of Abraham out of these stones.”

John 8:39 (Hebrewgospels.com)

They answered and said to Him, “Abraham is our father!” So YESHUA said to them, “If you are the sons of Abraham, DO THE WORKS OF ABRAHAM!”

What are some of the works of Abraham?

Jasher 22:11-14

11 And Abraham planted a large grove in Beersheba, and he made to it four gates facing the four sides of the earth, and he planted a vineyard in it, so that if a traveler came to Abraham he entered any gate which was in his road, and remained there and ate and drank and satisfied himself and then departed.

12 For the house of Abraham was always open to the sons of men that passed and repassed, who came daily to eat and drink in the house of Abraham.

13 And any man who had hunger and came to Abraham's house, Abraham would give him bread that he might eat and drink and be satisfied, and any one that came naked to his house he would clothe with garments as he might choose, and give him silver and gold and make known to him YAHWEH who had created him in the earth; this did Abraham all his life.

14 And Abraham and his children and all belonging to him dwelt in Beersheba, and he pitched his tent as far as Hebron.

 Are you doing the works of Abraham? As we see, Abraham showed LOVE! I never saw Abraham running around starting a race movement and promoting hatred! You should be concerned for bringing in the lost sheep that are in ALL different colors over the world!

A note about Edomites!

As I explained in the message three years ago is that Esau was named Esau because he was born hairy and he was called an Edomite because of the red lentil soup neither had to do with the color of his skin, but since that is the basis for your entire doctrine, we will deal with it again!

Obadiah 1:8-10 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

When that day comes,” says YAHWEH, “wont I destroy all the WISE MEN of Edom and leave no discernment on Mount Esau? Your warriors, Teman, will be so distraught that everyone on Mount Esau shall be slaughtered. For the violence done to your kinsman Jacob, shame will cover you; and you will be forever cut off.”

Were all Edomites warriors? Were they all wise men? The answer is no! How about verse 18?

The house of Jacob will be a fire and the house of Joseph a flame, setting aflame and consuming the stubble which is the house of Esau. NONE OF THE HOUSE OF ESAU WILL REMAIN, FOR YAHWEH HAS SPOKEN.”

Obadiah 1:18 (Septuagint)

And the house of Jacob shall be fire and the house of Joseph a flame and the house of Esau shall be stubble; and Yisra’el shall flame out against them and shall devour them and there shall not be A GRAIN FIELD LEFT TO THE HOUSE FROM ESAU; because YAHWEH has spoken.

The Septuagint says “grain fields” will not be left from the house of Esau and not “none of the house of Esau will remain”. But let’s say for arguments sake that the popular translation that “ALL” the Edomites would be destroyed. Does that literally mean every one of them? Let’s look at an example from the Dead Sea Scrolls!

Testament of Naphtali 4:1-3

I say these things to you, my children, for I have read in the writing of Enoch that you yourselves will also depart from YAHWEH, walking according to all the lawlessness of the nations, and you will do according to all the wickedness of Sodom. And YAHWEH will bring captivity upon you, and you will serve your enemies there, and you will be bowed down with every affliction and trial, until YAHWEH CONSUMES YOU ALL. And after you have become REDUCED AND MADE FEW, you will return and acknowledge YAHWEH your ELOHIM; and He will bring you back into your land, according to His abundant kindness.”

So, in verse 3 it says that YAHWEH will “consume them all”, but then in verse 4 it says “after you become reduced and made few”! So all doesn’t mean “total” or “complete”, which we can apply to Obadiah as well.

It is said that Obadiah and Jeremiah were contemporaries. The definition of contemporary according to Oxford languages is “living or occurring at the same time”, which means that their messages had to match and we see that a remnant will be left!

Jeremiah 49:7-11 (Aramaic)

Concerning Edom, thus says YAHWEH of Hosts: There is no more wisdom in Teman; the counsel is perished from the prudent; their wisdom is taken away. Flee, turn back, dwell in deep crevices, O inhabitants of Deran! For I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time of his punishment, says YAHWEH. If grape-gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleaning grapes? If thieves came by night, they would destroy till they have enough. But I have searched out Esau, I have uncovered his secret places, and he tried to hide himself but could not; his DESCENDANTS ARE DRIVEN AWAY, and his brethren and his neighbors are no more. Leave your FATHERLESS CHILDREN, I WILL PRESERVE THEM ALIVE; AND LET YOUR WIDOWS TRUST IN ME.”

YAHWEH at least preserved the orphans and widows and even said that they would trust in Him, which means that there would be Edomites who believed! And who do we see following YESHUA?

Mark 3:7-8 (Hebrewgospels.com)

But YESHUA went to the sea with the disciples, and many people followed with Him from Gelilah and from Jerusalem- and from Judah, and FROM EDOM, and from the other side of the Jordan river, and from Syria and from Sodom- for they heard people telling the wonders which He was doing, so they came unto Him.”

And just to be sure about this, lets look at the KJV which is used by most Black Hebrew Israelites:

Mark 3:8 (KJV)

And from Jerusalem, and from IDUMEA, and from beyond Jordan; and they about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things He did, came unto Him.”

The etymology for the word “Idumea” is G2401 and defined by Strongs as “Of Hebrew origin H123; Idumea (THAT IS, EDOM), a region East and South of Palestine: - Iduma.

So, you have to ask yourselves, why didn’t YESHUA turn around and say “Why are you white devils following Me? Don’t you know you can’t be saved?” That’s because you are promoting a false doctrine! We already saw that YAHWEH said He would leave a remnant in Jeremiah and He also said that the Edomites would be able to enter into His assembly!

Deuteronomy 23:7 (Complete Jewish Scriptures)

But you are NOT to detest an EDOMITE, because he is your brother; and you are not to detest an Egyptian, because you lived as a foreigner in his land. The third generation of children born to them MAY ENTER THE ASSEMBLY OF YAHWEH.”

Deuteronomy 23:8-9 (Samaritan)

You shall NOT detest an Edomite, for he is YOUR BROTHER, and you shall not detest a Egyptian, because you were a sojourner in his land. The SONS of the THIRD GENERATION WHO ARE BORN TO THEM MAY ENTER THE ASSEMBLY OF YAHWEH.”

Sounds to me that many humans think they no better than the Creator and have the right to judge who can enter the kingdom and who can’t, when YAHWEH has already declared that they can enter in, and we see them following YESHUA! Furthermore, does ELOHIM hear the prayers of an Edomite?

Jasher 63:20-28

And when Tsepho heard the words of his brethren the CHILDREN OF ESAU he withdrew from them, and Tsepho was greatly afraid of Angias. And Angias and Lukus his brother arrayed all their forces, about eight hundred thousand men, against the children of Kittim. And all the children of Kittim said to Tsepho, “PRAY FOR US TO THE ELOHIM OF YOUR FATHERS; perhaps He may deliver us from the hand of Angias and his army, for we have heard that He is a great ELOHIM and that He delivers all who trust in Him.” And Tsepho heard their words, and Tsepho sought YAHWEH and He said, ‘O YAHWEH ELOHIM of Abraham and Isaac my fathers: today I know that You are a true ELOHIM, and all the elohim of the nations are vain and useless. Remember now Your covenant with Abraham our father, which our fathers related to us, and act favorably with me today for the sake of Abraham and Isaac our fathers, and save me and the children of Kittim from the hand of the king of Africa who comes against us for battle.”  And YAHWEH LISTENED TO THE VOICE OF TSEPHO, and He had regard for him on account of Abraham and Isaac, and YAHWEH delivered Tsepho and the children of Kittim from the hand of Angias and his people. And Tsepho fought Angias king of Africa and all his people on that day, and YAHWEH gave all the people of Angias into the hands of the children of Kittim.”

Jasher 64:5-6

But Tsepho DID NOT REMEMBER YAHWEH and did not consider that YAHWEH had helped him in battle, and He had delivered him and his people from the hand of the king of Africa; but he still walked in the ways of the children of Kittim and the wicked children of Esau, to serve other elohim which his brethren the children of Esau had taught him; it is therefore said, “Out of the wicked comes forth wickedness.”

As we see, Tsepho the Edomite prayed to YAHWEH and YAHWEH delivered him; however, Tsepho quickly forgot what ELOHIM did and continued to walk in the ways of wickedness! Any Edomite today that prays to YAHWEH and trusts in Him will be heard and saved, as long as they serve YAHWEH only, which Tsepho failed to do.

I pray that anyone who follows this doctrine repents and accepts the truth! Love all your brothers, reach the lost, and focus on keeping the commandments and faith in YESHUA, and let the things of the flesh go!

As always may YAHWEH bless you in YESHUA’s Name!
