THE ETHIOPIAN IN ACTS 8:26-39

 

Another Lie we have been taught is that the man from Ethiopia was a Eunuch, but let's look at Scripture to see what it says.

 

Acts 8:27 {The Word of Yahweh-True Name-King James Version}

And he arose and went: and behold a man of Ethiopia, an eunuch of great authority under Candace queen of the Ethiopians, who had the charge of al her treasure, and had come to Jerusalem for to worship...

 

Acts 8:27 {Restoration Scriptures True Name Study Bible {RSTNSB}

And he arose and went; and see, a man of Kush, a faithful believer, a treasurer of great authority under Kandace malqa of the Kushim, who was in charge of all her treasure, and had come to Yahrushalayim to worship.

 

RSTNSB Note:

This man was not a "eunuch" as most translations render these verses. He was a faithful convert and was in Jerusalem for one of the three feasts of Deuteronomy 16:16. The Torah forbids a eunuch from worshipping in the temple, or from being a convert in Yisrael according to Deuteronomy 3:1. All eunuchs are excluded from the people of Yisrael. The solution is found in the Aramaic word for both eunuch and faith-filled man, which is mahimna, which in this case clearly means a faithful believer, to whom Phillip proclaimed Yahushua. A black man, who had joined himself to Yisrael, either as a stranger in the gates, or a seeking Efrayimite. {Israelite}. When this man returned to Kush, or Ethiopia {where the Scroll of Jasher asserts Moses was once king}, he went around proclaiming the Good News, and much of Ethopia and later India received the Good News. If this man had children and was an Efrayimite, or even a Jew, then today milions of Ethiopians and Indians {from India} are believing Yisraelites. As we see, Yisrael is not limited to the white Caucasians. Rather Yisrael is Joseph's coat of many colors.
