This is sfascinating. Thanks for th e ping.
Several years ago I remember reading about a temple in China that was found to have been built around a creche dating back to nearly the time of St. Thomas proving that there were Christians in China backn the 1st Century.
In 1983 I was fortunate to be able to go to Xian — the ancient capital — to see the terra cotta soldiers. Every face and uniform was different, and some of them were clearly Caucasion. Perhaps Turks, or Indians.
This scripture, I believe, is a picture of Abraham's seed being dispersed, or mingled throughout the whole world as the leaven (Abraham's seed) is mingled in the meal (the world).
-----------------------------------------------------
Luk 13:20 And again he said, Whereunto shall I liken the kingdom of God?
Luk 13:21 It is like leaven, which a woman took and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.
-----------------------------------------------------
It goes all the way back to the Old Testament which actually has much to say about the subject. In this verse The LORD tells Jacob that his seed shall be as the dust of the earth and in the same text explains that it shall be spread abroad in all directions as the dust of the whole earth. Dust by it's nature spread abroad everywhere. And in the next verse The LORD promises to keep them where ever they go and bring them back to the land of Israel. As the Chinese Hebrews many Hebrews have lost their identities and even they themselves do not know that they are of Hebrew heritage, the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the promised people of The LORD.
-----------------------------------------------------
Gen 28:14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south: and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Gen 28:15 And, behold, I [am] with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] whither thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee, until I have done [that] which I have spoken to thee of.
My pleasure.
The Caucasians came from Central Asia, so no surprise there. :’)
