LDS Is Jesus White?

So you have to have his "hair" and "head" "white as wool", "white as snow". That is of course if you are trying to follow the description found in Revelation. Try again I think. Lol.

The early inhabitants of the biblical lands were light skinned, it was only when Islam took over these lands that the lighter skinned inhabitants were either massacred, driven out or those that conveted to islam were assimilated into the darker skinned muslims.
For instance there is a mosiac floor or tablet of Alexander the greats time depicting him in conference with the Jews of Jerusalem, the jews have blonde hair blue eyes and are light skinned.
Scripture also attests to the light skins of the hebrews, for instance Sarah whom was the half brother of Abraham was white skinned, so its obvious Abraham was white skinned as well,

There is a description of Sarah, "In the seventh Dead Sea Scroll, whoever wrote this extolled Sarah's perfection from head to foot and while it was written in prose poem, the description as it appeared in the news media was as follows:


"Her skin was pure white;

"She had long lovely hair;

"Her limbs were smooth and rounded (her thighs were shapely

"She had slender legs and small feet;

"Her hands were slim and long and so were her fingers.'

we are told that ishmael one of Abrahams sons was light skinned and covered in reddish hair, king david we are told was ruddy in complexion, had red hair and only a white man can flush red in the cheeks,
In the song of soloman it states "My beloved is white and ruddy, the chiefest among ten thousand.” Song of Solomon 5:10
In the book Antiquities of the Jews written by Flavius Josephus we read that the Judeans and Greeks were indistinguishable from each other except for circumcision.
Greek history clearly demonstrates it was a white nation. If that’s the case how could they be indistinguishable unless Israelities were white as well.
Look at the Jews of today that have flocked into Israel the land of their forefathers, they are white, some have red hair, blue or green eyes, some have blonde hair, others dark hair, but they are white skinned.

Palestine was a crossroads of nations so it is little wonder that there would be a blend of ethnic characteristics. Both the Arabs and the Jews are Semitic people and olive skinned. However the question is moot because there is only one presently extant human race. That race originated in sub-Saharan Africa and was black.

Only but few of the tribes of arabs have any semite blood, the house of Israel had a very strict code were they intermarried only with their fellow Israelites, the fact that most Israelites that have gathered back to their forefather land of Jerusalem are white is a witness that their ancient forebears were white as well.
Abrahams half sister Sarah , also his wife was white, King david was Ruddy of face, had red hair, Ishmeal the son of abraham was light skinned and red haired. We cannot argue with scripture.
Nor with ancient historians apon this matter.
Ancient jewish synagogues and villages have been unearthed with mosiacs depicting the Israelites as a white skinned people, said mosiacs also depict moses and other biblical persons as white.

Is this in any way important?

BTW, I can and do argue with scripture.
