The studies show a common lineage component in Jews from North Africa, Ethiopia and Roman descent.

Well, that really doesn't surprise me in a way.
The wise Hebrew King, Solomon, who ruled Israel from about 970 to 931 BCE had something like 300 wives and 600 Concubines! And some of them he got from royal households in the area of Ethiopia. So I'm not surprised that some 3,000 years later, after countless generations of offsprings, there would be some common DNA.

Well I'm kind of surprised considering that you outright rejected it just a page ago.

Depends on which Bible you are reading. Other translations use the word "Cushite."
Cush or Kush, is believed to have been a kingdom in modern day Sudan.

When Miriam complained about Moses marrying a "Cushite" woman, God turned Miriam's skin a leprous white, a nice bit of irony on God's part if the woman complained about was black (as the punishment suggests that she was).

Or there's the chance once you do found out, that ship will already have sailed. I hope that's not the case.

The Jews trace their origins to Abraham (then called Abram) who lived in Ur, a city in Chaldea located in southeastern Mesopotamia. Abraham was about ten generations removed from Noah.

Lots of different scenarios for the afterlife. Some of them good, some of them bad, and some of them totally unexpected by any given large segment of the world population.
