Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps...
====================================

The Bible is the most profound book ever to get into man's hands. It is a great gift from God and the
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ to all his kids and the entire mankind. Whenever I need to understand
history I resort to this precious book. What is history? This is simply a record of past events and what
is Prophecy? Prophecy is the record of future events.
A whole lot of us need to understand how to dig into the word of God and find out hidden and
revealed truths about the present time and future events rather than keep "forecasting" aimlessly like
those magicians and sorcerers of Egypt and Babylon. They failed to produce results when the issue
was most critical.
If you, as a saint would like to be like Joseph of Egypt or Daniel of Babylon ,then seek wisdom through
the Bible - the Best history book of all time.
Now, coming to the discussion of today. Two key countries stand out in the above scripture and they
are "Libya" and "Ethiopia". However, I have dealt a little on Egypt in my earlier blog. Now, I will like to
dwell on Ethiopia. When we talk of Ethiopia, then I would like you to look geographically on the globe
to locate where Ethiopia is.

Why is Ethiopia so significant throughout the Bible? First of all, I like you to understand that the
Ethiopians have a common characteristics which is their unique colour and stature especially[Isaiah
45:14]. If you are an avid Bible student then you must have come across this proverb "Can an
Ethiopian change his skin?" It shows us the unique "brown" or "dark" skin complexion attribute of
those of Ethiopian origin.
I need you to understand something very important about Ethiopia...This kingdom has been
organized and founded as far back as when God separated nations in Babel. [See Peleg in  Gen 10:
25]. It might interest you also to know that Moses' wife was of Ethiopian origin. [See
Numbers 12:1 ]. Moses even faced issues because he married outside of his Israeli origin. If you can
fathom the time of the Pharoahs of Egypt, then know and understand that Ethiopia existed as far back
 as that same time. These is a lot of instances where the keyword "Ethiopia" comes up in the Bible.
You can just do a search with the keyword "Ethiopia" here
 Also remember Queen Sheba who visited King Solomon when she heard of his wisdom(1 Kings 10:1). Also understand that during the Neo-Assyrian Empire
 there was a well known King in Ethiopia known as "Tirhakah king of Ethiopia".
You will find the mention of him during the expedition of Sennacherib of Assyria[2Kings19:36] against
Jerusalem. [2Kings 19:9 & Isaiah 37:9]. So you see, Ethiopia now renamed "Africa" by the so-called
West has been in existence since the times nations began to exist in this world. I believe this should
comfort a lot of "blacks" there who seek their missing "origin". It is not missing because the evidence
is the shrunk Ethiopia, Addis Ababa that now is in the African continent.

Before today, that empire was very influencial and strong too. See! You Africans have a real heritage.
Having said all that as introduction, I will focus us back on my discourse which is not about Ethiopia
but about Africa as a Country. The Prophecy of Daniel mentioned that African would be at the steps
of the Anti-Christ. When I saw that in Daniel 11:43, I wondered at why? Today, we hear of the
Eurozone crisies impacting on key African economies. Why? African has been overly reliant on their
Western friends and so-called allies. At every count, African countries keep seeking aid from the
West. They keep crying for help or aid from the US or UN. This has put Africa in a precarious position with
respect to her decision making since the "borrower is subject to the lender" Proverbs 22:7. How will
Africa be able to free herself? May be it is too late or may be she can make an attempt at least by
stopping the act of always seeking for "aids" from the West or others.
When I read that the Eurozone crises was affecting African nations, I simply smiled because I am
well equipped with information about the future. Please do not miss the point. That Scripture speaks
about nations that now exist on earth.
Now I hear you answering my thought "Why won't Africa be at his steps". And this simply means that
Africa would naturally carry out his biddings. Have you wondered why Africa's poilicies are always
being molded from somewhere else? The African leaders are simply not in control. They have made
themselves slaves through aid collection. lol.
Today is humanitarian aid and tomorrow it is another "XYZ" aid coming to Africa. When will Africa
stop collecting aid?
