Cleveland,
OH (BlackNews.com) - Scientists acknowledge that all people
of the earth are a single family and have a common origin. In
the Bible, Acts 17:26 states “And he made out of one man every
nation of men, to dwell upon the entire surface of the earth...”
This Biblical fact proves all races are equal and descend from
a common source.
Many people know
the Biblical story of Noah and the Ark, but how many know
that he was a man of color from whom all races originated?
Noah had three sons whose descendants make up the world as
we know it. Noah and his sons are depicted in an original
piece of artwork from Gary Thomas, artist for the Pro Football
Hall of Fame. As part of a nationwide education/awareness
campaign, black entrepreneur Eric Johnson, president of Christian
Art Network, will offer limited and open edition fine art
reproductions beginning during Black History Month in February
2007.
Looking to promote
the truth about people of color in the Bible, the print depicts
Noah and his family on dry land after the great flood that
God sent to destroy wickedness on the earth. Along with the
pairs of animals who survived are Noah, his wife, their three
sons and their wives. The oldest son Japheth a light brown
man, fathered Asians, Europeans, and Indians. Shem the middle
son was a brown man and fathered Hebrews, Arabs, and Israelites.
Ham the youngest son was a black man and fathered Egyptians,
Africans, and Ethiopians. These facts are supported by Biblical
scripture.
“We have
a strong heritage that most people aren’t aware of,
“ said Johnson. We want people everywhere to help us
promote the truth concerning the actual way the great
patriarchs looked. Once this art is seen by millions
of Christians, people will better understand where everyone
came from giving dignity and respect to all nationalities.
This is a crucial step and the common denominator needed
to bring all races harmoniously together. Racism will
end when there is mutual respect for everyone. What
better way to promote this noble cause than through
beautiful art work that speaks for itself! We all know
the adage, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Our
objective is to help people of color and more importantly
children of color look at themselves in a more positive
way. Noah was a preacher of righteousness and our role
models should be our Biblical patriarchs. Every detail
was taken into consideration to make sure that it coincides
with what is written in the Bible,” he concluded.
The free
artwork project is being launched during February 2007
in honor of Black History Month. For a limited time,
8.5 x 11” fine art reproductions of Noah and his family
will be offered FREE to everyone who visits our website
at www.christianartnetwork.com.
There is a small postage and handling fee of $4.44,
which represents the four angels holding back the four
winds at the four-corners of the earth. Revelation 7:1.
