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 />
