Adamic Race
Many believe that the Hebrew name Adam only refers to a single individual, the first man. However, in the Hebrew text of the Old Testament, the word adam appears over 500 times in six different forms and is generally translated man or men in most Bibles.
The Bible student should keep in mind that the original Hebrew language did not include ''vowel points'', which were added well over 1,500 years later. What this means is that these six forms of the Hebrew adam ( אדם ) were originally the same word, and depending upon the context, can mean to be ruddy; a name Adam; and Adam’s descendants as a race of 'man', Adamic man. For example, Strong’s Hebrew 119 has: ''to show blood (in the face), i.e. flush or turn rosy; be (dyed, made) red (ruddy).'' The form translated 'man' or 'men' is H 120: ''from 119; ruddy, i.e. a human being (an individual or the species, mankind, etc.). '' Adam the name is for H 121, ''the same as 120; Adam, the name of the first man, also of a place in Palestine.'' These definitions are confirmed by other Hebrew lexicons, such as Brown Driver Briggs and its definition of ''ruddy'' when applied to Adam man. Adam was not just a name but the racial description of the Adamic race and Adam’s 'ruddy' descendants.
From the Gesenius Hebrew and English Lexicon: man, a human being, male or female, pr. One red, ruddy as it would seem ''The Arabs distinguish two races of men; the one red, ruddy, or perh. Copper colored, which we call white, the other black.'' This word has neither construct nor plural form but is very often collect.
Ancient Hebrew Lexicon Definitions Concrete definition O: Blood Abstract definition: Likeness: The pictograph d is a door representing the idea of moving back and forth. The m is a picture of water and can represent any liquid, especially blood. Combined these pictures mean ''the moving back and forth of water" or the ''flowing of blood". Similarly, the grape plant takes water from the ground and moves it to the fruit where the water becomes the blood of the grape.
The reason these definitions are shown is for reference. We all know that definitions that do not agree with the antiChristian system are erased or changed to fit their designs. For example, Adam is being defined as 'red' now in a lot of references. Adam is not just red, Adam means ruddy. The state or ability to be ruddy. Edom means red, the land of Edom, Idumea, the descendants of Esau. The definition of Adam will eventually lead to a form that means earth, ground, and husbandry. Christ haters will try to merge these definitions. They want to make Adam the same as Edom so they can say it means red ground and that the Adamic was a mud man.
When the Hebrew was translated into Greek, in most cases the authors of the Septuagint rendered the Hebrew adam with the Greek Anthropos (ἄνθρωπος) meaning, man (as opposed to the gods) or mankind, the feminine is woman. Anthropos is believed to be a combination of the Greek words aner (ᾰ̓νήρ) meaning man emphatically as opposed to woman, and the word ops (ὤψ) the face or countenance, in other words 'man faced'. This has racial and biblical significance. Ruddiness is a specific Adamic characteristic.
The word Anthropos was developed by the ancient Greeks who viewed the quintessential true man to be the White man, the classical fair-haired, fairskinned, clear-eyed Greek. It was not until after Alexander the Great conquered the east (334-323 B.C.) when Greek culture began to absorb cultures from Egypt to Babylon to the borders of India, that the humanistic idea of 'mankind' was applied to the word Anthropos and began to be used of other races, but even then it carried the connotation of 'man like', not mankind, conveying the idea that the other races were like men but not necessarily men by the racially conscious Greek standard.
In the Bible in general, and particularly the New Testament, Anthropos was always about the civilized man or cultured man. Just as the Hebrew word adam is translated 'man' and indicated the Adamic racial family, the Greek Anthropos is also translated 'man', and in Greek of the Old Testament Septuagint, the word Anthropos implies Adam-man because it was used by the Septuagint translators around 280 years before Christ.
Theological Significance
The Old Testament in both Hebrew and Greek confirm the connection of adam and Anthropos when God spoke His Cosmos into being, and in the order of creation He made 'man' (adam) His crowning work on the sixth day (age), ''And God made humankind, according to divine image he made it; male and female he made them.'' (Gen 1:27). Note here in this translation the word humankind is from the Greek ἄνθρωπον the singular masculine accusative form of Anthropos. This is because it is the direct object the verse refers to. This verse is telling as it shows that God made Adamic-kind the true human-kind as a race. God made the Adamic race as His racial portion and not just two people. While humanist bibles may get away with humankind or mankind in their translations, the Christian will read it as Adam-kind no matter what Bible he has. Some misguided folks have argued that this creation of man in Genesis chapter one refers to some 'pre-Adamic' or non-white races, but the use of adam in the Hebrew text tells us otherwise.
The fact that both men and women are called Adam in Genesis chapters one and five further confirms that the word adam applies to a racial family of people and not to a single man, ''This is the book of the origin of human beings. On the day that God made Adam, he made him according to divine image; male and female he made them, and he blessed them. And he named their name 'Adam' on the day that he made them'' (Gen 5:1-2). Note that a Christian reads the first part as ''This is the book of the origin of Adam-kind''. While 'human beings' is technically right, because humans are Adamic, in this day and age 'human beings' is used for all manner of bipedal animals.
Clearly, it was not just the first man who was called Adam, but also the first woman and their descendant race as well. The word translated origin here is γενέσεωϛ which is the genitive form of γένεσις. This Greek word is defined as generation, offspring; nativity, birth; family, in the Analytical Lexicon to the Septuagint. It is from the family of words belonging to γένσς (genos) defined as kind; race; species; nation; family. The racial understanding that comes from these words is excellent.
While the 'world use' of the term Anthropos began taking on a 'humanistic' flavor after Alexander the Great and into the age of Rome, the authors of the New Testament continued to use Anthropos synonymously with Adam-kind. As Paul wrote, ''There is a natural body and there is one of the Mentality. So also it has been written that the first man, Adam, 'became a living life', the last Adam a life-giving Mentality'' (1 Cor 15:44-45). In this verse ''the first man, Adam'' is for the Greek ''ho protos anthropos Adam'', which including all implications could read, ''the first adamic man Adam''.
It is because of the foregoing verses that we call Jesus ''The Second Adam''. We know that Jesus had a pure lineage back to Adam because otherwise, He could not have been the Anointed One, for only the pure unblemished Lamb could be offered for sacrifice (Leviticus 19.19; Numbers 12.5, et al.). As if to confirm this, Jesus referred to Himself in the Singular Person of the Anointed as ''the Son of Man'' (John 1.51, 3.13, 5.27, etc.). A title that every Greekspeaking Israelite clearly understood to mean, ''the Son of Adam''.
The foregoing evidence makes it clear that the Hebrew word adam was not just a name, but a racial description. Adam and his racial descendants, including our Master Jesus Anointed, were a race of people that is today referred to as the White race. A people of ruddy complexion who in ancient times occupied the regions of Mesopotamia, spreading throughout the Fertile Crescent, North Africa, and Europe. All these people were the descendant of the 72 nation of Genesis (Genesis 10 - Table of Nations) and were all of the white race as history, archaeology, art, religion, literature and genetic study clearly proves. They were 'the nations' (ethnos) of the Bible and the only people about whom the Bible is concerned with.
