Cush To Mysterious Babylon: African and the Covenant People takes you on an enlightening journey through Africa's rich history, and how it has shaped the world we know today. Uncover the tumultuous past of a continent, where the pursuit of power and riches through European colonization set off a brutal cycle of violence and oppression. This eye-opening book lifts the veil on the dark side of colonialism, shedding light on horrific events like Namibia's early 20th-century genocide and the vicious exploitation witnessed during Africa's scramble. Explore the role of Africa's Cush and the Kushites in Biblical prophecies found in the book of Daniel, Isaiah, and the Apocalypses of Revelation.
As Africa's resources transformed into coveted treasures, battles erupted, trapping countless innocent lives in their midst. The British Commonwealth clashed with Nazi Germany in North Africa, resulting in merciless bloodshed. The United States, horrified by the ongoing carnage, joined the fray - forcing Africans back under the yoke of colonial rule.
World Wars I and II showcased the devastating effects of psychological warfare as media propagated tales of mutilation, rape, and wanton killing. Propaganda became a deadly weapon targeting people based on race, ethnicity, and religion. When the dust settled, post-war Germany had no choice but to surrender its colonies - altering African perceptions and kindling their desire for liberation.
Retrace Africa's turbulent history to 1866 when diamonds were discovered in Kimberley, South Africa. The Big Hole symbolized pitiless mining practices that paved the way for global mining giants like De Beers and Kimberley mines. The subsequent gold rush in Gauteng Province heightened tensions between Dutch settlers and British colonizers - culminating in Britain's dominion over resource-rich territories.1 different editions
