SOUTH SUDAN - THE LAND OF RUSTLING OF WINGS AND PEOPLE TALL AND SMOOTH<br />

M.M.NINAN<br />

and to the beasts of the earth:<br />

and the ravenous birds shall summer upon them,<br />

and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.<br />

In that time shall a present be brought unto the LORD of hosts of a people tall and smooth,<br />

and from a people terrible from their beginning onward;<br />

a nation that meteth out and treadeth down,<br />

whose land the rivers divide,<br />

to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.<br />

I have been asked to explain these passages over and over again by the Christians in south <strong>Sudan</strong> in<br />

the Pentecostal Churches. It rings in my ears even now as it was repeated almost every day. They<br />

believed that the events in their life time tallied with the prophecy exactly.<br />

There is no doubt the prophecy is about them - the people of Cush,<br />

the land of the rustling of wings=The land of the Tsetse-fly or is it refering to the war planes?<br />

beyond the rivers of Ethiopia -Blue Nile<br />

the land divided by Nile,<br />

a people tall and of smooth skin (a people who do not naturally grow facial and body hair)<br />

A nation that meteth out and treadeth down = the nation that is not free being ruled by some other<br />

people<br />

These people will go through times of war and struggle, but the prophetic end is clear, they will be free<br />

and they will bring their gifts to the Lord of hosts.<br />
