In this episode, we take a careful and honest look at how the modern concept of “race” has shaped—and often distorted—our understanding of Scripture, history, and identity. The idea of race is a human-made construct, rooted in hierarchy and social division, not something created by Yahuah. Scripture identifies people by covenant, tribe, and nation—not skin tone. Yet the enemy has used skin color to divide the body and cloud our understanding of the natural branches of Israel. In this study, we revisit what Scripture actually says, explore the history that shaped today’s worldview, and address the blind spots that influence how many of us were taught to read the Bible.

We also talk about melanin, historical context, and why the Israelites of Scripture were a deeply melanated people, along with Egyptians, Cushites, and other neighboring nations. But while skin color provides historical context, it is not the sole determining factor of lineage. Instead, Scripture tells us that the curses of Deuteronomy 28 would be a sign—an outward marker tied to lived experiences. This episode unpacks how shared history, oppression, displacement, and prophecy play a far more important role in identifying the natural branches than appearance alone.

Ultimately, this message is anchored in compassion, reconciliation, and covenant. Whether natural or wild branches, we are called to abide in the True Vine, Yahusha. This conversation is not about exclusion but about truth, healing, and restoring the context that helps us honor both Scripture and the people of Jacob. My prayer is that this study brings clarity, humility, and unity as we continue seeking Yahuah with sincerity and love.
