>>17895016>Explain the Ethiopian church thenI'm not the anon you're replying to there, but Biblical Ethiopia is different than the modern day country by that name. Biblical Ethiopia covered a much larger area of land, including southern Arabia. The Queen of Sheba and the Sabeans were from the city of Sheba or Saba in modern-day Yemen. There were Semites living there in ancient times (this is where Moses' wife came from), and they would have had darker than usual skin due to sun exposure, but they were not sub-saharan Africans.
>The negroes are people who they definitely came in contact with during the times in Egypt or via trade in generalIt's possible but they would have been seen as exotic.
>or the Ethiopian traveller mentioned in Acts, hell Estherโs book even mentions Cush and the people of Cush, so they are hardly alien.Ethiopia or Cush in the Bible encompasses a very large area of land, generally to the south and including parts of Arabia.
The modern-day country of Ethiopia wasn't a thing back then, and that specific land in the horn of Africa was more recently known (in the past few centuries) as Abyssinia.
