Islamicizing Immanuel: How Media is turning Jesus into an Arab

There has been a major move to make Jesus more Arab. The reveal by a National Geographic Archaelogist that Jesus looked dark (a Muslim hoax) that contradicts eyewitnesses accounts of Jesus Christ by Pontius Pilate who judged Jesus (John 19) , Gamilel who defended the Apostles (Acts 5:34-56), Tychicus, Josehpus, and other historians and witnesses of Roman, Jewish, and Greek backgrounds (not all believers) is astounding. One can see how the Arabizing of Jesus is making its mark in latest faith based films. For example, Jesus in the film "Risen" is Arab and dark skineed. This is a recent movement to counter what is called a "whitewashing" or European depiction of Christ as white skinned and blue eyed, and it has been happening as far back as "The Passion of the Christ" only Mel Gibson did not make Jesus look Arab, His nose and lips are very Jewish, and Jim Cavizel who potrays Jesus was white. The problem is that the historical and eyewitnesses accouints from nonbeleivers, numberious people, say Jesus was blond and blue eyed,

The following was taken from a manuscript in the possession of Lord Kelly, and in his library, and was copied from an original letter of Publius Lentullus at Rome. It being the usual custom of Roman Governors to advertise the Senate and people of such material things as happened in their provinces in the days of Tiberius Caesar, Publius Lentullus, President of Judea, wrote the following epistle to the Senate concerning the Nazarene called Jesus.
   "There appeared in these our days a man, of the Jewish Nation, of great virtue, named Yeshua [Jesus], who is yet living among us, and of the Gentiles is accepted for a Prophet of truth, but His own disciples call Him the Son of God- He raiseth the dead and cureth all manner of diseases. A man of stature somewhat tall, and comely, with very reverent countenance, such as the beholders may both love and fear, his hair of (the colour of) the chestnut, full ripe, plain to His ears, whence downwards it is more orient and curling and wavering about His shoulders. In the midst of His head is a seam or partition in His hair, after the manner of the Nazarenes. His forehead plain and very delicate; His face without spot or wrinkle, beautified with a lovely red; His nose and mouth so formed as nothing can be reprehended; His beard thickish, in colour like His hair, not very long, but forked; His look innocent and mature; His eyes grey, clear, and quick- In reproving hypocrisy He is terrible; in admonishing, courteous and fair spoken; pleasant in conversation, mixed with gravity. It cannot be remembered that any have seen Him Laugh, but many have seen Him Weep. In proportion of body, most excellent; His hands and arms delicate to behold. In speaking, very temperate, modest, and wise. A man, for His singular beauty, surpassing the children of men"
The letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar
This is a reprinting of a letter from Pontius Pilate to Tiberius Caesar describing the physical appearance of Jesus. Copies are in the Congressional Library in Washington, D.C.

TO TIBERIUS CAESAR:
A young man appeared in Galilee preaching with humble unction, a new law in the Name of the God that had sent Him. At first I was apprehensive that His design was to stir up the people against the Romans, but my fears were soon dispelled. Jesus of Nazareth spoke rather as a friend of the Romans than of the Jews. One day I observed in the midst of a group of people a young man who was leaning against a tree, calmly addressing the multitude. I was told it was Jesus. This I could easily have suspected so great was the difference between Him and those who were listening to Him. His golden colored hair and beard gave to his appearance a celestial aspect. He appeared to be about 30 years of age. Never have I seen a sweeter or more serene countenance. What a contrast between Him and His bearers with their black beards and tawny complexions! Unwilling to interrupt Him by my presence, I continued my walk but signified to my secretary to join the group and listen. Later, my secretary reported that never had he seen in the works of all the philosophers anything that compared to the teachings of Jesus. He told me that Jesus was neither seditious nor rebellious, so we extended to Him our protection. He was at liberty to act, to speak, to assemble and to address the people. This unlimited freedom provoked the Jews -- not the poor but the rich and powerful.
Later, I wrote to Jesus requesting an interview with Him at the Praetorium. He came. When the Nazarene made His appearance I was having my morning walk and as I faced Him my feet seemed fastened with an iron hand to the marble pavement and I trembled in every limb as a guilty culprit, though he was calm. For some time I stood admiring this extraordinary Man. There was nothing in Him that was repelling, nor in His character, yet I felt awed in His presence. I told Him that there was a magnetic simplicity about Him and His personality that elevated Him far above the philosophers and teachers of His day.
Now, Noble Sovereign, these are the facts concerning Jesus of Nazareth and I have taken the time to write you in detail concerning these matters. I say that such a man who could convert water into wine, change death into life, disease into health; calm the stormy seas, is not guilty of any criminal offense and as others have said, we must agree -- truly this is the Son of God.
Your most obedient servant,
Pontius Pilate.:
We know Pontius Pilate did have private audiences with Jesus (Matthew 27, John 18: 28-40).

"The Archko Volume"
Another description of Jesus is found in "The Archko Volume" which contains official court documents from the days of Jesus. This information substantiates that He came from racial lines which had blue eyes and golden hair. In a chapter entitled "Gamaliel's Interview" it states concerning Jesus (Yeshua) appearance:
"I asked him to describe this person to me, so that I might know him if I should meet him. He said: 'If you ever meet him [Yeshua] you will know him. While he is nothing but a man, there is something about him that distinguishes him from every other man. He is the picture of his mother, only he has not her smooth, round face. His hair is a little more golden than hers, though it is as much from sunburn as anything else. He is tall, and his shoulders are a little drooped; his visage is thin and of a swarthy complexion, though this is from exposure. His eyes are large and a soft blue, and rather dull and heavy....' This Jew [Nazarite] is convinced that he is the Messiah of the world. ...this was the same person that was born of the virgin in Bethlehem some twenty-six years before..."
- The Archko Volume, translated by Drs. McIntosh and Twyman of the Antiquarian Lodge, Genoa, Italy, from manuscripts in Constantinople and the records of the Senatorial Docket taken from the Vatican of Rome (1896) 92-93

Note: Gamaliel is in New Testament,  "But one member, a Pharisee named Gamaliel, who was an expert in religious law and respected by all the people, stood up and ordered that the men be sent outside the council chamber for a while. Then he said to his colleagues, “Men of Israel, take care what you are planning to do to these men! Some time ago there was that fellow Theudas, who pretended to be someone great. About 400 others joined him, but he was killed, and all his followers went their various ways. The whole movement came to nothing. After him, at the time of the census, there was Judas of Galilee. He got people to follow him, but he was killed, too, and all his followers were scattered. “So my advice is, leave these men alone. Let them go. If they are planning and doing these things merely on their own, it will soon be overthrown. 39 But if it is from God, you will not be able to overthrow them. You may even find yourselves fighting against God!” (Acts 5:34-39). There is reason to believe Archko Volume, because why then would Gamaliel defend the Apostles to the Sanherdian?

Josephus, the "Antiquities Of The Jews" 
This is a quote from Josephus, from his historical first-century writings entitled, "Antiquities Of The Jews," Book #18, Chapter 2, section 3.
"Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first did not forsake him; for he appeared to them alive again the third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And the tribe of Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day."

The reason is Jesus is the Son of David, He is Jew who on both Joseph and Mary's bloodlines traces his linage back to Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, and David (Matthew 1:2). David was white and ruddy (), in fact most Jews, save for Sefardic (Spanish Jews) are white and have blue eyes, especially those from Nazareth (Malachi Martin, King of Kings).

Jesus, Risen 2015

The Arabizing is not only there, but has actually spread to Bill O'Rielly's "Killing Jesus" in which the actor who plays Jesus is a Muslim. Do you think perhaps his personal beliefs effected his depiction of the Lord Jesus? Most certainly. For Muslims believe Jesus called Isa in Quran, is a prophet. They do not recognize or believe as we Christians do that Jesus Christ is God (Colossians 2:9, John 1:1-3) and Man (1 John 4:2, 2 John 1:7). In addition, Shia Muslims believe that a messiah is coming called the Mahdi, who is the twelfth Imam (leader in their group). Sunni Muslims believe Isa will come with Muhammed to declare Allah as god. I think it is plausible the Arab Jesus in film and art is to get people comfortable with the coming Mahdi, or who we know as the Man of Sin and Man of Lawlessness, the Antichrist (2 Thessalonians 2:1-10).

Jesus, "Killing Jesus TV Film"

Then there is the latest film Joseph and Mary (2016), starring Kevin Sorbo who has become a favorite since "God's Not Dead." In Joseph and Mary, younf Jesus is dressed with a Fezz  (note: a fezz is a red cap like what the Jews wear only larger, and it is red for celebrating the Ottoman slaughter of Christians, it is red for blood of Christians and triump of Islam in Islamic history) cap like Aladdin, and in fact in striking resemblance of the "Street Rat" of the Arabian Nights classic Disney turned into Aladdin:

Elijah, Jesus (middle), Joseph (right), Aladdin (right bottom)
So what is the reason for having Jesus look like an Arab in all these famous films? The goal is Islamization, to get people comfortable with the Isa (Jesus) of Koran, and to slowly make Christians get comfortable with an Arab Jesus so that they will turn away from the True Jewish Jesus Christ of the Holy Bible. The idea is to subtlety created in the minds of saints that Jesus is an Arab when Jesus is a Jew, and Hebrew (Matthew 1:2). Contrary to Hollywood, Jews are generally blue eyed and blond haired, I have seen them in Israel, and according to most famous archeology, Malachi Martin, all Nazarenes from Nazareth had blue eyes and light hair, except one that had grey eyes. Jesus was called a Nazarene (Matthew 2:23), not because of sect of Nazarenes, but because He came from Nazareth and must have looked like a normal Nazarene. Then there is description of King David, whom I imagine Jesus' body would have mirrored, since He is the Son of David promised, "And he sent and brought him in. Now he was ruddy, of a person's face. having a healthy red color) and had beautiful eyes and was handsome. And the LORD said, “Arise, anoint him, for this is he" (1 Samuel 16:12 ESV). Many translations are now changing ruddy to dark, because the Arab Muslims have probably infiltrated Bible Translators via Taqiyya (A Muslim can lie for their faith, pretend to be Christian, go to Church and even become Bible translator, the only things they can't lie about is the Prophet Muhammed, who Allah is/Allahu Akbar, god is one) and are changing our Scriptures. Thus the Islamizing of Jesus is not just happening in film and art, but via translators of the Bible! Lord Jesus come quickly!

I remember the controversy that arose six years ago that a curriculum for all public schools in America declared, "Jesus is an Arab." This claim by a corrupt curriculum was believed to be quelled by the outraged of sincere Christians who said, "No, Jesus is a Jew" for the Scripture attest that Christ Jesus comes from Line of Abraham, Isaac, and David (Matthew 1:1-17, witnessed by Matthew, a disciple of Jesus) and by the Phyiscian Luke (Luke 1) who interviewed Mary, Jesus' Mother (Luke). Jesus Christ is Jewish, but for all people (). The assertion that Jesus is an Arab is coming from an Islamization, for the Q'uran includes Jesus as a prophet prior to Muhammed, and his Book is called the Book of Isa (Jesus), but this Jesus is not the Jesus of the Bible. This Jesus Shia Muslims believe will come and ring a bell proclaiming Muhammed a true prophet. The Muslims deny quintessential nature of Christ in their Koran (Sura 4:157-160). The Bible we believe says the exact opposite, "He has delivered us from the domain of darkness and transferred us to the kingdom of his beloved Son, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.The Preeminence of Christ. He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation. For by him all things were created, in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or rulers or authorities—all things were created through him and for him. And he is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church. He is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead, that in everything he might be preeminent. For in him all the fullness of God was pleased to dwell, 20 and through him to reconcile to himself all things, whether on earth or in heaven, making peace by the blood of his cross." (Colossians 1:13-19), and share all others verses proving Jesus died for us and rose from dead (John 20).

The goal now has become to introduce to us 'orthodox' Christians the Quranic Isa and the Gnostic Christ, both of which are not the true Christ. For Jesus even said, "There will be many false christs, and false prophets, and they will do many false wonders to deceive if possible the Elect." (Matthew 24:24). The apostle Paul supports this by sayting, "If anyone preaches another Jesus, another Gospel, or another Spirit than the one you received, you put up with it too easily." (2 Corinthians 11:4). Indeed, we Christians are putting up to easily with the false Isa of the Koran and the false Jesus of Gnosticism. Want to blow apart Gnosticism, read Jesus' words, ""I have spoken openly to the world," Jesus replied. "I always taught in synagogues or at the temple, where all the Jews come together. I said nothing in secret." (John 18:20). Gnostics believe in secret wisdom and mysteries, they are a cult that creates many cults like Free Masonry and more that all are secret socieites, where no one, but members can hear their message or know their tenents or beliefs.

As for the Koran's Isa, Jesus addressed it, "Now when Jesus came into the district of Caesarea Philippi, he asked his disciples, Who do people say that the Son of Man is?” And they said, “Some say John the Baptist, others say Elijah, and others Jeremiah or one of the prophets.” He said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Simon Peter replied, You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” And Jesus answered him, “Blessed are you, Simon Bar-Jonah! For flesh and blood has not revealed this to you, but my Father who is in heaven. And I tell you, you are Peter, and on this rock I will build my church, and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven, and whatever you bind on earth shall be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.” Then he strictly charged the disciples to tell no one that he was the Christ." (Matthew 16:13-20). Jesus revealed He is God, "I and Father are One," (John 10:10) and "that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. " (John 17:21).
The Isa of Islam is a caricature of Christ, the Beatitudes in particular, and the Islamic Isa is a false christ fortold by Jesus and Paul (Matthew 24:24, 2 Corinthians 11:4). Isa in Quran does not represent Jesus as He is, God Himself (Colossians 2:9, Colossians 1:14-18, John 1:1-15, John 17:28). In fact that is where Christians and Muslims part ways, on Christ's Crucifixion, Resurrection, and His Deity (Colossians 2:9).

Ever noticed that most antichrists want to replace the true Christ of the Bible? Well antichrist actually meants "replace" more than antagonist or against. The Antichrist is already at work in propping up antichrists (1 John 2:18) and those antichrists are the Jesus of all other religions, Hindu Jesus, Muslim Isa, Jehovah Witness Jesus, Mormon Jesus, and etc that are not the True Jesus Christ of Christianity, " But I am afraid that as the serpent deceived Eve by his cunning, your thoughts will be led astray from a sincere and pure devotion to Christ. For if someone comes and proclaims another Jesus than the one we proclaimed, or if you receive a different spirit from the one you received, or if you accept a different gospel from the one you accepted, you put up with it readily enough." (2 Corinthians 11:3-4). Today there is a crisis taking place, where Christians are conceding to make Christ more appealing to nonbeleivers, as Roman Downey did in "Son of God." In fact, Roma Downey and Mark Bruneet in their follow up to The Bible Series, made Jesus look Arab.

Jesus in "A.D. The Bible Continues."
There is a curse Jesus Christ gives to anyone who alters the Book of Revelation (using critical thinking skills, don't you think this applys to the whole New Testament?), "I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll." (Revelation 22:18-19). The Apostle Paul says anyone who preaches another Gospel is under a curse, "But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed." (Galatians 1:8-9). Interestingly, Muhammed had an angel appear to him in the cave, and Muhammed believe it was a Jinn, Genie, evil spirit, but his wife Khaji convinced him otherwise (Hadith, First Hadith).


Jesus Christ is a Jew! (Matthew 1:2). Jesus Christ is God (Colossians 2:9, John 17:21). Jesus Christ was not an Arab and had light skin and light eyes as Josephus records (see earlier), and all who saw Him describe Him in this coloring. What Jesus most likely looked like is below:

Israel’s Conquest of Canaan: The Nephilim and Giants

  Christianity Today asserts that the conquest of Canaan can be a “stumbling block” for believers. This probably is because of a foolish idea of comparing it to a modern conquest happening in our world. The truth is that God had Israel conquer Canaan because it was ruled by evil giants, “We saw the Nephilim there (the descendants of Anak come from the Nephilim). We seemed like grasshoppers in our own eyes, and we looked the same to them.” (Numbers 13:33). These are Anakim or Nephilim, the children of angels and human women, “When man began to multiply on the face of the land and daughters were born to them, the sons of God (angels) saw that the daughters of man were attractive. And they took as their wives any they chose. Then the LORD said, “My Spirit shall not abide in man forever, for he is flesh: his days shall be 120 years.” The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of man and they bore children to them. These w

Dispensationalism

John Nelson Darby (1800-1882) was a man who did two things, he took 70th week of the Book of Daniel and stretched out to the End Times, and he was the father of  Dispensationalism , a belief system that God dispenses different peoples with separate blessings and covenants. According to Darb'ys doctrine of Dispensationalism, God dispenses different covenants. There are total of seven dispensations that divide the history of man: I. Dispensation of Innocence (prior to the Fall, "Do not east of the Fruit of Good and Eve, Eden), II. Dispensation of Conscience ( You must assuage guilt and sin with blood sacrifices.) III. Dispensation of Human Government (Multiply and Subdue the world, example the Tower of Babel Gen 11:1-9, and Genesis 1:28). IV. Dispensation of the Promise (Dwell in Canaan, Jerusalem) V. Dispensation of the Law ("Obey the Law of Moses and the Prophets"). VI. Dispensation of Grace (The Church, Jesus Christ has come and died for our sins an

Jesus’ Name in Aramaic

There has been a trend to render Jesus’ name Hebrew, יֵשׁוּעַ , Yeshua. The problem is neither Christ nor his apostles, nor the Jews in 30-33 A.D. spoke Hebrew, they spoke Aramaic. A ramaic is the oldest language on earth and was the language Jesus spoke. In fact, the oldest Old Testament is the Septuagint a Greco translation around 132 B.C.E. (165 Years Before Christ)that was translated from Aramaic. The Masoretic Text, The Hebrew Old Testament most Bibles use, dates from 7th to 10th Century A.D. (Medieval Times).  This translation does not cross reference with the words of Christ in the New Testament which are Aramaic and Koine Greek.  If the Aramaic was what Jesus spoke, then by what name would have been called? Jesus’ name in Aramaic is Isho or Eesho, spelled ܝܫܘܥ . That is the name of our Lord in Aramaic! He would have heard his name in this dialect, “Hail Isho or Eesho!” as well as the Greek, Ἰ ησο ῦ ς , Iesous.  Aramaic is disappearing, only a few people are endeavo
