46 Wherefore the Israelites assembled themselves together,and came to Maspha over-against Jerusalem;for in Maspha was the place where they played aforetime in Israel.
47 Then they fasted that day, and put on sackecloth, and cast ashes vpon their heads, and rent their clothes:
48 And laide open the booke of the Law (the Torah), wherein the heathen had sought to paint the likenesse of their images.
1 Maccabees 3
15 For a father afflicted with vntimely mourning, when he hath made an image of his childe soone taken away, now honoured him as a god, which was then a dead man, and deliuered to those that were vnder him, ceremonies and sacrifices.
16 Thus in processe of time an vngodly custome growen strong, was kept as a law, and grauen images were worshipped by the commandements of kings,
17 Whom men could not honour in presence, because they dwelt farre off, they tooke the counterfeit of his visage from farre, and made an expresse image of a king whom they honoured, to the end that by this their forwardnes, they might flatter him that was absent, as if he were present.
18 Also the singular diligence of the artificer did helpe to set forward the ignorant to more superstition.
19 For he peradventure willing to please one in authority, forced all his skill to make resemblence of the best fashion.
20 And so the multitude allured by the grace of the work, took him now for a god, which a little before was but honoured as a man.
21 And this was an occasion to decieve the world
Wisdom of Solomon 3

its either white mans insecurities, or they are trying to trick us for whatever reason.

no its definitely something deeper than just "relating". you dont change the whole cast to make somebody feel they can relate...
notice how the white man just pushed the black people to the side, and lifted the white man up in their roles... blatantly lying (but not really blatantly when they pushed the images of white men for centuries), stealing the black mans roots and history.. then looking down on them and mistreating them. thats not just a "relating" method.. its much deeper than that.

We are talking about a book of characters whose identities were changed from "bronze" and "hair like wool" to images of them in churches looking more white.
Imagery is changed to fit what people can "relate" to.
It's simple, really, all religions do this. They create their own deities in their own image.
Religion has all borrowed from one another and changed looks, descriptions and names.
well, we should also look a little askance at descriptions from apocalyptic visions...VIBE;6696476 said:We are talking about a book of characters whose identities were changed from "bronze" and "hair like wool" to images of them in churches looking more white.

I understand you not wanting conclusions drawn from a vision... so heres a more simple and plain description of the Jews....
all i'm saying is that Revelation isn't to be taken 100% literallyVIBE;6712218 said:They either real, but in a hallucination sense or as the rewriting of the bible continued, they tweaked it's "visions".
