Remain obedient to God though you despise your circumstances because you know eternal things are on the line Royale: a narrow pointed beard extending from the chin. The style was popular in France during the period of the Second Empire, from which it gets its alternative name, the imperial or impériale. In our natural state, we are literally incapable of knowing or loving God and that condition lasts throughout our lives Sahih Bukhari, Book 72, Hadith #781 ( USC-MSA) Narrated by Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Apostle said, "Cut the moustaches short and leave the beard (as it is)."

Isaiah proclaimed Judah’s enemies would have their beards would be cut off as a sign of God’s judgment in Isaiah 15:2. Then shall his brother's wife come unto him in the presence of the elders, and loose his shoe from off his foot, and spit in his face, and shall answer and say, So shall it be done unto that man that will not build up his brother's house.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints [ edit ] Many early LDS Church leaders (such as Brigham Young, pictured) wore beards.

ISBN 978-0-7509-2517-4. Reed: a beard with an integrated mustache that is worn on the lower part of the chin and jaw area that tapers towards the ears without connecting sideburns. Nevertheless, this is close enough for the high priest and closest thing he will get that night to proof of a crime

Jesus, however, was not under a Nazarite vow during his ministry because he also consumed wine and the fruit of the vine (Matthew 11:19) and this was prohibited to all Nazarites (Numbers 6:3). Though Jesus lived in the town of Nazareth, he was not a Nazarite. This shows that Jesus had short hair like all normal Jewish men at the time. Indeed, when Judas pointed out who Jesus was at the time of his betrayal to the priests, he kissed him on the cheek (Luke 22:48) rather than pointing out the man with the long hair. The simple truth is, Jesus while teaching on earth had short hair and all the early portraits of him made in the hundred or so years before the time of Constantine show him also as beardless. Archaeologist Sarah Yeomans, in Bible Archaeology Review, however, notes that that may not have been the case. She points out that much of the religious art found in the catacombs includes pagan imagery: Strong's 2852: To strike with the fist, buffet; hence: I mistreat violently. From a derivative of the base of kolazo; to rap with the fist.And the worst of Jesus’ pain and humiliation were still yet to come…things just go from bad to worse for Jesus And so Jesus’ appearance would have had much to do with what he was wearing. Once we’ve got the palette for his colouring right, given he was a Jewish man of the Middle East, how do we dress him? How did he seem to people of the time? Dressed in basics

We return to Jesus’ trial before the Jewish authorities, with Jesus in the home of Caiaphas, the second high priest He’s stood before that night Isaiah prophesied in Isaiah 7:20 that God would bring judgment on his people through the King of Assyria and as a result, their beards would be cut off.

The long-haired, bearded image of Jesus that emerged beginning in the fourth century was influenced heavily by representations of Greek and Roman gods, particularly the all-powerful Greek god Zeus. At that point, Jesus started to appear in a long robe, seated on a throne (such as in the fifth-century mosaic on the altar of the Santa Pudenziana church in Rome), sometimes with a halo surrounding his head. it was a break from the past for a clergyman to abandon his clean-shaven appearance which was the norm for late medieval priesthood; with Luther providing a precedent [during his exile period], virtually all the continental reformers had deliberately grown beards as a mark of their rejection of the old church, and the significance of clerical beards as an aggressive anti-Catholic gesture was well recognised in mid- Tudor England.
