Psalm 106: 34-42
Excerpt:…As did Solomon, the darker son joyously honored the Lord but only in his youth. The other, after 40 years, still walks in my light. Note the synergy: A red man, ancient David, also while in Zion, spied out Bathsheba a “black” woman, and together, they produce several sons, Solomon was the dark-skinned one. As with ancient David yesterday, I, his son today, enjoy female beauty regardless of skin tone, but, we both found special delight in our chocolate easter bunnies. If need be, take some time to absorb that metaphor. Next, note the key lesson to resolve today’s doctrinal conflicts: Bathsheba gave Solomon —not a new racial identity but simply— his complexion accentuating the scientific mystery of genetics. But by this experience, I then find comfort and harmony to Ps 89’s reflection: The Lord told David about the replica of David that He found: He said, I found the second David. This novel analysis is not of my invention; it is Bible based, but claims that Hebrews are black are a spurious invention. let’s read it again: “ Ps 106: 34 They did not destroy the nations, concerning whom the LORD commanded them …36 And they served their idols: which were a snare unto them. 37 Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto devils … 39 Thus were they defiled with their own works, and went a whoring with their own inventions. 40 Therefore was the wrath of the LORD kindled against his people, insomuch that he abhorred his own inheritance. 41 And he gave them into the hand of the heathen … 42 Their enemies also oppressed them, and they were brought into subjection under their hand.” —Psalm 106: 34-42. The slavery of Israel manifest that God placed them in their enemies hands. To boot…
