The nation needs both Spiritual, socio-economic and Political direction. As at now, we are convinced that the ruling PF is mandated to give socio-economic and political guidance of the nation. However, our concern as a body of believers is over the recent meeting between Dr. Ziyad Abu Amiro Palestine deputy Prime minister and our own Honorable Wynter Kabimba especially that the objectives of the Palestine National Liberation Movement (FATAH) are surely not in conformity with the Zambian belief.
Our major concern as a group of believers of the LORD JESUS CHRIST is the continuous fighting of the will and purposes of God against the nation of Israel by the political elite both in the Arab world and beyond. Zambia as a CHRISTIAN NATION must adhere to biblical principles and anything outside that must be stopped. Any nation that teams up with the enemies of Israel is an enemy of God. From a Biblical perspective, Israel’s enemies can be divided into two groups: the surrounding Islamic nations that have historically been their opponents in past wars, and radical terrorist organizations formed more recently who are committed to their destruction working in Lebanon, the West Bank, and Gaza which includes the Palestine National Liberation Movement (FATAH) and HAMAS, This includes anyone who partners with them in every area of life such as education, health and agriculture.
When we come to the modern-day Israel-Palestine issue, people often ask the question, “Just what right do Israel and the Jewish people have to this land?” Arguments are continually brought forth concerning the rights of the Palestinians and the rights of the Israelis that seem logical to the people who present them. But a basic question still remains: “Who has the ultimate authority to determine rights concerning this special piece of real estate?”The biblical answer to that question is that God alone determines the “rights” that any of us have. Something is right or wrong because of Divine decree, not human feeling or human reason. The existence of God previous to the creation of the universe and mankind gives Him the right to determine our “rights.”
Morality exists because God exists. Authority exists because God exists. And, Almighty God has already determined the rights of Israel and the Jewish people to the land God owns and has deeded over to them. The promise to establish the nation of Israel was given to Abraham by God 5000 years before Israel became a nation in 1948.
What God says about the Land of Israel, the people He chose to possess it, and why
1. The Land of Canaan, renamed Israel by the Lord, was given by God to Abraham and his descendants as an everlasting possession.
In Genesis 12:7a, we read: “The Lord appeared to Abram and said, ‘To your descendants I will give this land.'” In Genesis 13:15, He repeated His promise when He said, “For all the land which you see, I will give it to you and to your descendants forever.” He said the same thing in Genesis 15:18, “To your descendants I have given this land.”
2. The gift of this Land (Israel) to Abraham and his descendants was based on an unconditional covenant from God Himself.
Genesis 17:7-8 states: “And I will establish My covenant between Me and you and your descendants after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your descendants after you. And I will give to you and to your descendants after you, the land of your sojourning, all the land of Canaan, for an everlasting possession; and I will be their God.”
Deuteronomy 30 shows that before they even entered the Promised Land, He knew they would violate His statutes and be evicted in a future day. Yet it also declares that He would bring them back into the land He had given their forefathers- the present day Israel.
3. The Land (Israel) was given to Abraham and his descendants as part of God’s redemptive blessing to the world.
In Genesis 12:1-3, we read, “The Lord has said to Abram, ‘Leave your country, your people and your father’s household and go to the land I will show you. I will make you into a great nation and I will bless you; I will make your name great, and you will be a blessing. I will bless those who bless you and whoever curses you I will curse; and all the peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
The great nation referred to in the above scripture is ISRAEL.
They were chosen for three purposes:
a. To worship God in this land and show the world the blessing of serving the one true God of the Universe;
b. To receive, record and transmit the Word of God (through them we have our Bible); and
c. Finally, to be the human channel for the Messiah from whom we have our salvation.
In order for God to protect His purposes for the Children of Israel in the Land of Israel, He promised to bless those who blessed Abraham and his descendants and curse him who cursed them.
4. This land was not given to the descendants of Ishmael (one ancestor of the Arab peoples), but rather to the descendants of Isaac. The descendants of Ishmael include the Palestines and all members of FATAH.
We have no bitterness toward the descendants of Ishmael, nor do we wish to be unkind to our Arab friends. However, we must be faithful to what we know the Bible teaches. Abraham himself considered Ishmael as a possible descendant to whom God would give this land but God refused because he was not a child of the promise.
5. This Land was not given to the other sons of Abraham, but only to Isaac.
Isaac is the father of Israel- Genesis 25:5-6.
6. This Land and covenant were given only to Isaac’s son, Jacob, and his descendants, not Esau and his descendants.
Jacob received the birthright from his father, Isaac. In Genesis 28:4, Isaac said to Jacob: “May He (God) also give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your descendants with you: that you may possess the land of your sojourning, which God gave to Abraham.”
7. The stranger (those outside the Covenant) will live among you and be treated with respect.
“They (God’s covenant people) will rebuild the ancient ruins and restore the places long devastated: they will renew the ruined cities that have been devastated for generations. The stranger will shepherd your flock; foreigners will work your fields and vineyards” (Isaiah 61:4, 5). “If you (Israel) really change your ways and your actions and deal with each other justly, if you do not oppress the alien, the fatherless or the widow, and do not shed innocent blood in this place and if you do not follow other gods to your own harm, then I will let you live in this place, in the land I gave to your forefathers forever and ever” (Jeremiah 7:5-7).
The “alien” or “foreigner” in these verses would include the Palestinian Arabs and other non-Jewish people who live in the land. They would receive a blessing by living and working in the Land of Israel, not the Land of Palestine. On the one hand, Israel should treat them with respect. On the other hand, they have the responsibility to live at peace, abiding by the laws of the Land, recognizing under whose sovereignty it belongs.
8. The return of the Jewish people at the end of days will be initiated by God, and their return will signal the restoration of a barren and broken land.
Jewish history is a supernatural phenomenon
The prophet Isaiah spoke of God’s plan to bring His people back to Israel, saying: “He will raise a banner for the nations and gather the exiles of Israel, He will assemble the scattered people of Judah from the four quarters of the earth” (Isaiah 11:12).
Those who curse Israel shall be cursed (Genesis 12:3). No weapon that is formed against Israel shall prosper (Isaiah 54:17). These Scriptures are of vital importance on this subject. Genesis 12:1-3 constitutes the cornerstone, the monument, of all prophecy. No one can mistreat the Jew and get away with it, as we say. “I will make of thee a great nation” – not numerically, thus far – but “I will make of thee a great nation.” We do not believe that there is a nation on the face of the globe that is great like the nation of Israel.
From the book “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” by Shmuel Waldman, quoting Leo Nikolaivitch Tolstoy who wrote this in 1908:
Page 146
“The Jew is the emblem of eternity. He who neither slaughter nor torture of thousands of years could destroy, he who neither fire, nor sword, nor Inquisition was able to wipe off the face of the earth. He who was the first to produce the Oracles of God. He who has been for so long the Guardian of Prophecy and has transmitted it to the rest of the world. Such a nation cannot be destroyed. The Jew is as everlasting as Eternity itself.”
Jewish history is a supernatural phenomenon. All other empires have disappeared but the Jew is with us forever. We would like to expand on his theme a bit more: here are nations that warred against the Jews with the most powerful armies of the known world at the time and what happened to them:
The Egyptian Empire – gone.
The Amalekites – gone.
The Assyrian Empire – gone.
The Hittite Empire – gone.
The Chaldean Empire – gone.
The Philistines – gone.
The Babylonian Empire – gone.
The Persian Empire – gone.
The Greek Empire – gone.
The Roman Empire – gone.
The Byzantine Empire – gone.
The Ottoman Turkish Empire – gone.
The Soviet Empire – gone.
The Nazi Empire – gone.
There is a lesson there for FATAH, Hamas and Hezbollah and Iran and other enemies of Jews everywhere that include Political Parties from third world countries like Zambia. Take heed or disappear from the face of the Earth. Muslims may be one-fourth of mankind now but they rule over very weak and small kingdoms. Previous empires that ruled more than half the globe and a hundred times mightier than Islam have all disappeared – their only crime – hating the Jews.
In this regard, we strongly admonish the Patriotic front government to avoid taking this nation into a CURSE due to lack of knowledge of Biblical truths. God is able to grant us mercy and favor as a nation as we embrace His word in the governance of the nation. Any Ideology regardless of who started it that does not embrace God as the sovereign ruler of the universe is demonic, morbid, inhuman and UnZambian. Every Nation that is connected to Israel is prosperous, and walks in prosperity. It is our prayer that Zambia under the Patriotic Front Government must be part of what God has said in His word concerning Israel and a blessing attached to it.

ZAMBIA BACK TO JESUS GOSPEL CRUSADES
THERE IS NOTHING WRONG MEETING PALESTINIAN LEADERS, THEY ARE ALSO HUMAN BEINGS. AS A NATION WE NEED TO RAISE ABOVE SUCH ATTACKING BEHAVIORS?? EVEN AMERICAN SENATORS / LEADERS, DO MEET PALESTINIANS BUT THAT DOES NOT MEAN THEY ARE AGAINST ISRAEL? MY QUESTION WOULD BE?? WHAT CAN PALESTINE OFFER TO ZAMBIA?? NOTHING?? BECAUSE THEY ARE DEPENDENT ON OTHER ARAB STATES? THAT’S WERE AS ZAMBIA; WE LACK STRATEGY AND WHOM TO MEET? PF, LEARN TO KNOCK ON THE RIGHT DOORS. UNFORTUNATELY YOU HAVE BEEN GOING TO WRONG PLACES AT WRONG TIMES??
Ifyamba fyeka fyeka!!!!!!!
Do You Know that USA has prospered because of their inclination to the Jews?
Do you know that in the 1960’s Zambia had Cordial diplomatic relations with Israel and the Israelis helped in building infrastructure including UNZA? That after Kaunda decided to side with saddam and arabs, the country was plunged into state of decline?
Do you know that the woes in middle east are due to the arabs enmity with Israel?
Do you know that That Israel went to war with the arab countries in 1967 and won miraculously?
Jesus said Love your neighbor as you love your self, never should you teach any one to hate others like this, its never there in the teachings of Jesus or the Apostles.
This article despite well written with quotation from the bible, am at misleading the reality. All prosperous people incline to satan. Even Moses at on time was surprised but came realize after understand or the Ashes on the Enshrine representing their near end. In this world with have only two category of people, those for God the creator of heaven and earth and those who have their impositor god(satan) like American political leader(illuminate etc) who are closer friend with Israel( birds of same feather flock together). Watch what U follow.
You so called “The Prince” go and display your ignorance and illiteracy somewhere eise. THERE IS EVERYTHING WRONG WITH BEING INVOLVED WITH ENEMIES OF ISRAEL!! you should no that now incase you did’ nt know. As a Christian Nation WE CAN NOT I REPEAT CAN NOT BE AGAINST OR BE FRIENDS WITH ISRAEL ENEMIES NO! NO!NO! a thousand times. PLS for the sake of our citizens this countries politicians should distant themselves by all means from association with Israel enemies..PLS
@ alfred bulaya??IT IS REALLY SAD TO SEE HOW EVIL AND MISINFORMED YOU ARE. YOU CLAIM TO BE A CHRISTIAN NATION AND YET FIRST TO CONDEMN AND ACCUSE OTHERS LIKE PALESTINIANS AS BEING EVIL. PLEASE KNOW THAT NOT ALL PALESTINIANS ARE ISLAMIC, THERE ARE CHRISTIAN PALESTINIANS AS WELL. THIS IS WHY ZAMBIA WILL NEVER MOVE FORWARD BECAUSE WE ARE ALWAYS EMOTIONAL, NEVER THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX?? ASK YOUR WINTER WHAT HIS TRIP WILL BENEFIT ZAMBIANS THAN QUESTIONING HIM WHY VISITING PALESTINIANS. THEY ARE HUMAN AND A STATE JUST LIKE ISRAEL. YOU WRITE RUBBISH YET NEVER BEEN TO ISRAEL. GO THERE AND SEE HOW BLACKS ARE TREATED THEN WRITE YOUR RUBBISH. IF ONLY YOU CAN ASK ETHIOPIANS HOW THEY ARE MARGINALIZED, HAVE THEIR ORGANS REMOVED AS SLAVES, HENCE CHANGING TO THE ARAB GULF COUNTRIES? KNOW FACTS.
Bulaya stop your muzungu wangaism. You act like the Israeli propagandist that you are. America’s prosperity should not be seen superficially. The US didnt start existing after 1945. The US prospered because of slavery of black people. If you say Jews supported slavery then you might get a hearing. Miraculous? What’s miraculous about being supported by the world’s richest country to attack yourneighbours?
what happened to ‘love your neighbor….’ teachings?
I have never read such nonsense my whole before. You sir are indeed lost. i dont even know where to start from. What do you mean that the egyptian empire is gone? wouldnt you say that the same thing for the previous establishment of the jewish people? that they too have lost whatever it is that they called a kingdom or tribe before? They are now a country somehwat different in some ways from what they were before just like egypt is today. Do you even know to whom(as in which people) God made those promises to,if we go by your own biblical reasoning? Who is a jew to you? can you give a name of say two famous jewish decendants today to whom “God” made the promises to? Maybe we can start from there to tackle this misconception and misunderstanding of history.
i would suggest that you read the bible prayerfully and refrain from using derogatory statements. Lets consult God in Prayer and he will shade light on the whole issue as we keep the solemnity that God requires when dealing with His word.
Spot on Hitman! Too much superstition, & brainwashed ideas on display here. These people they are saying are righteous, have been responsible for NOT adhering to the Principles of God- “Love others as you do yourself, & commit No harm unto others” Read my posting @ 29.
Alfred stop perpetuating mental slavery. You are definitely a conduit for neo imperialism as you believe all white people without questioning. Why do you have this alfred name when not a single white is named bulaya? Simple. You have an inferiority complex and religion just reinforces it. By looking up to the invaders’ ancestors and their teachings you are trying to obliterate yourself. Why? Is difficult to know but it can be seen this is from the indoctrination you ve been subjected to that tells you not to worry about your self in this life because a better life awaits you after you die. The one who taught you this enjoys his life here and his ancestors are glorified. Yours and your culture die. Now you are trying to get us all to revere Israelis when you have never questioned why…
In Israel they kill black people like dogs
Friends, like books, must be few and well selected!
I have never seen so much time wasted of justifying a totally non-christian position.
Firstly the new Israel is not the physical or geographic location. It is spiritual. “God is spirit and those who worship him worship him in spirit and truth”.
Secondly, the bible states very clearly that what distinguishes Gods’ children is returning good for evil, in other words, tolerance. Like The Prince has put it so well, Palestinians are human beings as well.
The ficticious and illegal declaration of Zambia as a christian nation was only made to allow us to exercise our lack of tolerance for other religions and peoples. God will judge us severely for taking his name in vain.
Your understanding of the word is faulty my brother. Be careful about replacement theology that says Christians have replaced the Jews as the chosen people that is a pie from the pity of hell my friend. The bibles says the gifts of God are without repetence that means God does not change his mind. God in his word says the land of Israel has been given by God forever. Remember God made the covenant not the patriarchs hence it is not a man made convenant and God will not change it. As for Christians we are born of God, we are of the heavenly Jerusalem our inheritance is of God, we are the body of Christ and the extension of his ministry in the world as Isaiah says that Christ shall see his seed, we are his seed. Lastly the earthly Jerusalem (Israel) is just has guaranteed as the heavenly
this is preposterous. Israel is a terrorist state and has killed thousands of Palestinian men women and children. Israel has built a wall to keep Palestinians away from the outside world, it is also conducting a slow genocide. Israel is not a Christian nation, it has no special favour from god. god is a just god and salvation is through Jesus who the jews don’t believe in. this article is morally and intellectually bankrupt.
ISRAEL IS NOT AND SHALL NEVER BE A CHRISTIAN NATION.
LET US DO BUSINESS WITH THE LAND OF
ISRAEL LIKE GOING TO THE ANCIENT TEMPLES ONLY.
@atheist- for now israel is not christian because they rejected Christ. But Christ is going to save the elected of Israel by grace according to Romans 11. Thats why he has gathered them in Palestine so that he can call them to atonement; a time of moaning for having rejected Messiah. So you can not conclude contrary to scripture that Israel shall never be a Christian. if the elected will accept Christ then they will be called by his name and will be christians no doubt.
i too i man atheist and i think religion is dangerous to human progress because if you look at the israeli/palestinian conflict its all about what is written in their respective old books.Remember that israel is a very racist country blacks there are treated like non humans
Ba ZAMBIA BACK TO JESUS GOSPEL CRUSADES, you are wrong here. Israel is no longer God’s chosen nation. When they returned to their God-given land after 70 years in Babylonian captivity, the people restored true worship of the Lord God. One of the major projects was to rebuild the Temple. Since the destruction of Jerusalem the Temple has never been rebuilt. The Temple area is now occupied by an Islamic mosque. If the Jews were still under the Mosaic Law as God’s chosen nation the Temple would have been rebuilt and true worship restored. The Kingdom has been taken away from them, Matthew 21:42, 43 and 23:37, 38. Instead of relying on God’s direction, they are now governed by a democratic system and protected by a sophisticated army and an arsenal of deadly weapons of mass destruction.
@Wantashi- Israel shall remain a chosen nation. And according to Rev 7:4-8, God will call out of current israeli 144 thousand; 12 thousand from each of there 12 tribes.
Please understand that the Temple mount aka Al-aqsa or Omar mosque in Old Jerusalem stands as the abomination of desolation referred to in Daniel.
its been at centre of Israel-Palestine conflict since the 1967 six day war when Israel capture westbank and other Palestinian territories. This is very significant because Jesus Said (luke 21) that Jerusalem shall be trodden by Gentiles till time of Gentiles is fulfilled. Currently the Israelis have allowed the Arabs to control the mosque for simple reason that God is not finished saving the gentiles.
Current activities show that Israel are moving in direction of…
Look at those who know nothing about GOD. Just read their analysis and you will obviously know that they belong to the kingdom of darkness. Zambia is lead by dark forces!
The jews rejected jesus in fact murdered him so how could they still remains God’s chosen nation? Stop misleading your flock . Anyone from any nation who exercises faith in jesus is the the one who will be saved because God is impartial. For your information the Jews are not Christians and they are still waiting for their Messiah.
Please Jose search the scripture; i will refer you to romans 11:26 ” and so all Israel Shall be saved as it is written, there shall come out of sion the deliverer and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob (Israel). The Jews refused Jesus because they were blinded purposefully by God (Romans 11:25) for the sake of Gentiles (other nations). had they not been blinded, they would not have refused Jesus and handed Him over to the Romans to be crucified. Without crucifiction of Christ, no salvation was possible.
But they are chosen people, the israelis, and God promised to send them 2 prophets and call them to repent the sin of refusing there Messiah according to Rev 11.
May God Bless you.
This is very true insight and can be proven from the bible. i would encourage those with opposing views to desist from using foul language and attacks on Israel. My sincere plea is that read the bible and prove these facts as follows:
1. Israel is Blessed of God and all who curse her become accursed of God
2. God gave the now Palestinian land to Israel according to Scripture, (Genesis 17:7-8 & Genesis 13 and many more scriptures) which bible believing christian should uphold.
3. God promised to restore Israel after Romans scattered them in AD 70 (Joel 3:2) Ezekiel 36:24 puts it plain “I will take you from among the heathen, and gather you out of all countries and will bring you into your own land. And Palestine is there promised land of Possession.
Please search Bible before…
why isent the bible used as proof of ownership of the land in international courts ?
The black mans’ interpretation of a white mans’ bible is mostly illogical.
The Bible is neither a white nor black mans’ book, but the Script of God. We can not trivialize it by making it a man’s book; its a sacred book no other book is alike.
Its the only Book that tells what happened, is happening and will happen in future; no other book can do that with pinpoint accuracy as the Bible. its inspired by God my Brother and all words written in it shall be fulfilled.
The bible is a white man’s book period. There is no blackman in the Bible
contd. Wantanshi- …… the temple mount and rebuild it to restore jewish temple worship. When that happens there will be no more time for Gentiles and the arabs will be expelled from the Temple.
My worry is not whether we will be cursed by making friends with the Palestinian leadership is not about whether by doing so we are rising against Israel. My worry is that the PF govt is being misguided that by making friends with rogue states like Cuba, North Korea and Palestine they will be seen to be strong or whatever the reasons they have. What can a friendship with Palestine and North Korea benefit our nation? These are autocratic and undemocratic regimes which have no tolerance to their citizen’s freedoms and other rights. Zambia is a small and weak economy which needs friends that can aid our development. This is where nations like Israel can come in.
Rogue states? The problem with blacks is wanting to be seen as civilised by whites therefore repeating what the white man says. Palestine isn’t a state and you should know why. Israel blocks this all the time. Think for yourself. Don’t wait for your colonial masters to think for you. In other words nations don’t become rogue states because the west says so.
utter nonsense, you are a religious fanatic just like Islamic jihadis. Just because some guy called god promised the jews the land some 2000yr ago does not mean they have the right to evict and occupy Palestinian’s who have lived on the land for centuries.
Why isn’t the so called bible used as proof at the united nations for ownership of the land ? The bible written by white jews was and continues to be used as an instrument of domination of the gullible
Ps 122:6
Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: “May those who love you be secure”.
Genesis 12:3
I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse;
and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.” …
I bless Israel therefore I am blessed 🙂
From the beginning man has always rejected God’s Providence. In Garden of Eden in Genesis 3, Adam and eve refused God’s word and heed the devils advice and from that death came.
In time of Noah, God Through Noah provided the ark, but people refused and perished.
God sent Jesus Christ to reconcile the world to God; what did they do, rejected him and condemned him to death. Why? because he did not agree with the teachings and traditions of people (Pharisees).
You can understand that man has always rejected God’s providence and even today Jesus is around in form of Holy Spirit but how many people are willing to listen to that small still voice inside calling them to make things right with God? so how can man who rejects God accept Bible, God’s word, as basis of conflict resolution?
Gullible Africans, in the bible you are mentioned as monkies yet you throw your selves at that book ?
@Hohoo – Please provide book, chapter and verse from the Bible that mentions africans as monkeys? if you can not do that, please make no further comments.
Alfred Bwalya, I know the same whitemen who wrote the bible call you monkies. I refuse to read this tool of imperialists hence I can not provide ver/chapter but since you know the bible so well provide vrse/chapter were blacks are acknowledged
Consider this story: In 1975, the palestinian terrorists hijacked a French Airliner with Israel Jews on board and landed in Entebbe, Uganda. Idi Amin openly supported this act but the Israeli Defense force sent an elite commando unit led by Col Yonathan(Yoni) Netanyahu to rescue the hostages. The Kenyans under Mzee Jomo Kenyatta allowed the Israeli planes over fly Kenya and also to refuel in Nairobi. Th CIA under its director George WH Bush snr provided intelligence resulting in one of history’s most spectacular military assault. All hostages but one were secured, Col Netanyahu was killed.
Today his young brother Benjamin(Bibi) Netanyahu is the PM of Israel, Jomo Kenyatta’s son Uhuru is President of Kenya, Obama of Kenyan ancestry is the 1st black President of US, Bush went on to…
Gunduzano you are trying to create some superstitious crap out of events you have selectively picked
Those people are racists! You people have no idea what you are talking about, they have even rejected their fellow jews from Ethiopia because of the colour of their skin, Zambians get exposed and learn what is happening around the world, you read the old testament and shower praises on them, they kill Palestinians without mercy, they force thousands of them out of their homes, You people never cease to amaze me you quote the Bible and you think thats the reality….. wakeup, yes i love thier economy, they have money, fruits, lekkere bread, olives and jewery, i also love to watch them, they kinder amuse me witheir traditional display, a marvel to the eye, otherwise they could be good people if they stoped their darker side from manifestating my Dutch friends call them thieves & i know why!
its simple zambians hate reading they only read the bible so they are brainwashed like no mans business
@hohoo – you do not believe in Bible, therefore i do not see the point of convincing you about its credibility. You either believe it as God’s word or refuse, the choice is yours. But For Ref. Number 12 (moses married ethiopian woman) & acts 8: 27 (eunuch of ethiopia who was baptised by Philip);please read.
Alfred Bulaya were there any prominent black bantu men in the bible ? any white could go a capture a salve Nubian and marry, I mean us back bantus with kinky hair, did the bible even know we existed ?
@ hohoo- My dear all races came from one adam whatever his race was is not important. From Adam’s descendants came three races japhet’s, Ham’s and Shem’s. and in these three races is all mankind identified.
Iwe Alfred. Some of the things you believe should be tested by the reality you can see. You are telling us of three races. Are there three races on this planet? Just look around. There are more than six races just at a glance. So you will still believe stories given to you by people who want you to praise them and their ancestors?
Prosperity as referred to here is not only of material things, but of a balance life spiritually and physically. of course not all physical prosperity comes from God, But God blesses those that come seeking His kingdom & righteousness. God blessed Jacob and from him came the 12 tribes of Israel. God blessed Joseph, the son of Jacob while he was in Egypt. This is the kind of prosperity am referring to. And God blessed america; even when you read history of the earlier presidents you find men devoted to God. and America despite its moral decay and other vices has produced men and prophets of God who have helped the cause of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
How come you being ZAMBIA BACK TO JESUS GOSPEL CRUSADERS, Support Israel. What is your motives. Read their Talmud bible and see how Jesus is insulted, ridiculed and some passages is being named as a “quote” born from a whore “unquote” and Jews rejected Jesus as their messiah this act ended them being chosen people.
The modern jews are not descendants of Abraham but are Khazarians. Read the history of the these people. They have no right to the land they claim to be theirs. It also baffles me why Christians (Zionist) what to mislead people about the history of these people. They do not believe in your Christ and have strange, evil and “un-biblical” teachings in the Talmud (Babylonian) such as; it is right for a jewish man to have sex with a 3 year old girl. Is this the people i should pray for? I would rather pray for the Palestinians who are being killed by the day. By the way, it is criminal to try to convert a jew to Christianity and distribution of christian materials including the Bible is a crime in Israel. Its is punishable by a prison sentence.
@patrick its not about what evils the jews have done its about God who chose them. God shows mercy when we or the jews seek Him; even as he did to the thief who was next to Jesus on the Cross. and by jews i mean True israelites; descendants of Abraham. Read romans 11 and it will shade more light. Be blessed
@Alfred Bulaya, my bone of contention is that i do not believe that the people who occupy the land called Israel are the descendants of Abraham. These people are Khazars. Just research on their history. Therefore, there is no moral or religious obligation for any one to pray for these people committing atrocities on other nations.
Dear Patrick; you may not believe, but bible says so, and we are not forcing you; its not every one who is in Israel, but the descendants of the 12 Children of Jacob (Israel), you can trace these people from about 5 thousand years ago. Read revelation 7
I am Roman Catholic and was taught that the only way to heaven is through Jesus Christ the son of God. I am given to understand that both Jews and Moslems do not believe that Jesus was a son of God. What makes Jews better than Moslems, since they also do not believe that Jesus Christ was a son of God? Both Jews and Moslems believe that Jesus was a prophet.
Sorry you are mistaken. Jews do not believe that Jesus was a prophet. They believe that he was a magician born of a whore. Please read carefully and not make your outrageous claim
Editor. What’s really there to moderate in my post honestly?
China will in the next 20 years or so overtake America in terms of prosperity. China does not have much known association with the Jewish religion. So what is the cause of China’s rise in prosperity? People often give an example of American, as one nation which has prospered because of its association with Jews I beg to differ. Most Jews moved to America from Germany and Eastern Europe after the Second World War by which time America was already prosperous.
Now i Do believe in God, but not to a point where i abdicate rational thinking. This is one of the MOST Rational comments i’ve seen posted!! To You its thumbs up Jay Kay.
I totally agree with you jay kay . Another example is the Germans who murdered the Jews but are now more prosperous than Israel. Prosperity is simply from hard work.
Jay Kay and other bloggers there is one other thing you have not noted; Its not neccessarily hardwork that makes a nation prosper. America’s and most of Europe’s prosperity came out of exploitation of others. Black people lived in the US for 400 years without salaries. Their labour was free thus making America prosper.
Europe colonised Africa and then started usurping everything in Africa. Zambia didnt sell copper to Europe. Ghana didn’t sell gold to Europe, DRC didn’t sell diamonds to Europe. The Europeans just grabbed these and made themselves filthy rich.
@jay Kay- Do you know that arab(muslim) are descendants of Ishmael the Child of a bond woman who was Sarah’s maid given to sleep with Abraham? Her name was Hagar; an Egyptian (Genesis 16). Do you know that God blessed Ishmael and his descendants but did not make a lasting covenant with him but did with Isaac who was born from Sarah a free woman (genesis 17).
Do you understand why the Jews rejected Jesus? Does the bible not say in Romans 11 (verse 28) that God blinded them for the sake of the Gentiles? so that Gentiles can partake of salvation through the death of Jesus Christ.
Do you know that you catholics don’t have any reference in Bible pertaining to name or church called Roman Catholic. The bible refers only to the church in rome not catholic?
Bulaya, do you believe that Jesus was the son of GOD? If you do believe that, how do you reconcile that , with the fact that up to today in the Jewish faith they do not believe that Jesus was a son of GOD?
ba Bulaya, in Noah’s great flood only pairs of animals survived , what happened to the fish ?
Jay Kay- i believe is the son God given to humanity as a sacrifice for sin. John 3:16.
Now this suits very well with the fact the Israel today does not believe in Jesus Christ. Why Do i say so? Because bible in Romans 11:11 says Israel was blinded by God for gentiles sake. So if they were blinded how can they identify and recognize Jesus?
They could not but they will according to Romans 11:26-30. when will they recognize Jesus? when salvation for Gentiles is finished Jesus will appear to the elect of Israel and there will be a trumpet call to the atonement; period of mourning when Israel will realize that they rejected and killed there very Messiah they were expecting. ref: revelation 7
Mulenga what an intelligent question. And amoebas? Noah must have had a tough time ascertaining mosquitos’s sex. Ants flies worms bacteria yaba!
There is no book under the sun that is as good as the BIBLE no revisions. I may be black, the truth is, GOD LOVES ME. He also loves you despising His words because u are not the first ones and the last. The truth is you know that he lives and my prayer is humble urselves and come to HIS THRONE. Anything or anyone opposing wat God has said is of the devil(God forbid that one cn b found amongst us blogers). Anyway fear God.
That is your believe and please respect also the other peoples believes.
What the author & other bloggers have written here is a show of lack of love and shallow understanding of God and his scriptures.Who told u that u should hate yo enemies?l don’t need to associate myself with either lsreal or n/korea fo my salvation.
This is utter Garbage! Remember Israel was a friend of regimes like Apartheid South Africa, dealt with them,sold them military hardware, & technology. Who did you think this Military assistance was to be used against?? – African’s! Grow up people. Nichamene mufela!! Not advocating anyone befriends “Rogue States” but Just be analytical, + Non aligned, selecting your allies based on 1.Good principles & Governance. 2. Zambia’s interests- everyone does it, ask the west / U.S.A. The problem with Zambian mentality is we rely a lot on superstition, & fairy tales to inform our judgement & decision making like the author of this article. Any wonder why in this day & age we still Lynch our elderly, burn them in their dwellings, justifying such actions as “They are Witches & Wizards” SHAME!!
you sir have brains and use it for thinking,thumbs up
@Osmore – it is not that people are shallow, but has a different perspective from you.
If you have followed the discussion you will understand that its not about loving or hating your neighbor; Its about exercising caution when making alliances with anti Israel Countries especially the sell proclaimed haters of Israel. Bible is clear about blessing Abraham & the nation of Israel through Isaac not Ishmael. Infact in Genesis 12:1-4 ” i will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you…”
I work in GCC with arabs and their hatred for Jews is deep rooted.As a christian i have no hatred for the arabs or anyone person, arab or jew; sinner or saint, but i am mindful of God’s word; never to Curse what God has blessed & side with anyone whose views are derogatory or contrary to…
we have to give support to the Palestinias they have been victimized for too long, it is there land, they want talks and same time they are building houses, stop these jews once and for all
Alfred Bulaya, what can you say to relatives of the thousands of Palestinians killed by Israelis ? or the thousands of Palestinians jailed without trial in Israel ? Or to the hundreds of thousands of Palestinians made refugees by Israel ?
@Hohoo – i cannot say anything about what the Palestinians are doing to the Israelis and contrary. What i can say is that no one said anything when thousands of Egyptians perished in the red sea pursuing the children of Israel led by Moses; Just as no one has said anything about millions of Jews that were slaughtered in Germany during the Holocaust and elsewhere. Some things are beyond human comprehension; So we just believe God that every works to the good for those that love HIM.
I am asking you about what is happening now, not in the past, palistinians are being killed every day by isreal and you want us to support Israel ?
Get the Palestinians to invest in Zambia also, a lot of them are learned and skillful.
we have enough land for them and not the grabers
Our Main duty as Christian nation is to pray for the peace of Israel and protect Israel by all means…Period!!
brain washed by the Zionists to fight of for a greater isreal at the cost of tens of thousands of innocent lives. Poor fooools
Sammy bwlaya do you know the most dangerous pipo are religious idioots like your self ?
Why should we support a country that supported apartheid boers ?
Sammy bwlaya you and your family should protect israel. Don’t tell others to protect the apartheid regime of ISRAEL.
@mulenga- you should really study your Bible. The question or topic of discussion is not what happened to the fish in Noah time but that of position of Israel in God’s word.
But nonetheless, Noah went into the ark in Genesis 7:8…..with everything that creepeth upon the earth.
To the author – please don’t start your article with “both” and then list three things
Israel has enough problems without such articles please. Zambia is not part of the Middle East or America, we should let them sort out their own issues without involving us. This means neutrality – we can talk to Israel, we can talk to Iran, we can talk to anyone. By the way have you wondered by what miracle all Zambia’s emeralds end up being faceted in Israel and sold from there?
Iwe Kalachi Plate just tell us. I want to know.
People perish becouse of lack of knowledge says the Lord.
If you are black and went to look for a job in isreal? They can not even look at you, they will chase you like a dog, they are not angles as you think, ethiopians, suffer too, though they were born from queens sheba, still they are nothing. Your color matters in isreal, don’t be fooled
I wonder if anyone in PF owns a bible, let alone reads it. Awe mweee!
Hohoo: Alfred’s god doesn’t care about those who came from the wrong vag*nas. The entity that created the Harvey’s and the earth in all their incomprehensible complexity is petty like that.
The entity that created the *heavens and the earth haha
Israel was a friend to apartheid. It supported the discrimination of man by his skin colour. This is not surprising because all the religions from Israel; Judaeism, Christianity Druzeism and Islam perpertuate the notion that God has special races called the chosen people, that he loves more than others. And blacks are not in the group of races God loves.
It is well known that the white slave owners who came to Africa were Christians. They would pray to the God of Abraham to give them as many slaves as could be found in Africa. Seeing as they did get their slaves and becaME very wealthy as a result, it means God positively responded to their prayers
Finshi mu moderator? Ala!
So God supports slavery? It was Christians and moslems that took slaves from Africa
Finshi mu moderator? Ala!
I support Israel come rain come sunshine. Shalom shalom!
The author of this article should read history very well and know that the Israel of today is not even the one of biblical times than showing his fanaticism here. Its uncritical Christians like you who make our faith a laughing stock. Have you heard of how the current Israel was allocated the land belonging to Palestine by Europeans nations after the holocaust of Germany. They came to a land which was already settled and have been causing havoc to original owners of the land. There is Palestinian apartheid being propagated by Israel and you want to use biblical quotations out of their contexts to further your agenda. Little knowledge is bad, read the bible together with world history to make proper connections. Infact, Zambia should take a stand against Israel and be among nations…
This article though it meant well the Author needs to study than write whatever he hears. If you did not know , the apatheird in South Africa was perpetuated by the people claiming i was biblical for Blacks to work as slaves becuse Noah cursed His sons and the Black one is YOU!! This is why you will keep joging around your poverty line.
Well written article, I totally agree. Thanks.
Food for Thought:
1. Does an autonomous state of Palestine exist? NO
2. Does an autonomous state of Israel exist? Yes became UN member in 1949
3. what land they occupy? The war that followed Israel’s declaration of independence in 1948 saw the former British mandate of Palestine partitioned between Israel, Trans-Jordan & Egypt.
4. West bank and Gaza stripe claimed by Palestine was actually Jordanian & Egyptian controlled respectively; though now claimed by international community as occupied Palestinian territories.
5. Why conflict? Except Egypt, which made peace treaty with Israel and claimed back the Sinai Peninsula occupied by Israel after six day war of 1967, the rest of the Arab states have refused & vowed to obliterate Israel from earth.
6. In GCC Israel stamp means you are…
Alfred Bulaya, you have suddenly changed or been unmasked from a preacher of the bible to a full-blown Zionist. You thought you can dupe all Africans with your propaganda article above ? we are not that naïve and will never forget your support for apartheid Boer south africans
god is a racist freak
Question: Are PF satanists?
@ Hohoo- i am not Zionist but a christian. I have given you facts from biblical point and from historic perspective; But lol you even dispute events that are recorded then i have nothing more to tell you my Brother; believe what you believe and you can call me whatever you wish it will not change the facts on the ground and God will visit Israel at His appointed Time and save the elected whether we believe or not but God ‘s word does not fail. God is sovereign he can not take advice from anyone; whether people believe or not He will still remain God and His word is infallible.
@Alfred Bulaya
”…change the facts on the ground….”
Facts on the ground are the occupied palistinians are having their houses demolished every day, more than 3000 men, women and children jailed without trial and another daily occurrence….
Mr. Bulaya, Please explain the difference between a Zionist and a Christian.
@ Higher Taller- I believe in free will; moral choice. i can not therefore advocate for mental slavery because i want people to do things with a free will; God gives us free will to decide wrong or right; Good or evil. I have freely chosen to be a christian without any Coercion; am happy about my decision.
My comments will always be based on verifiable facts and never intended to coerce anyone to incline to any belief or sect whatsoever; I do not argue or get emotional when i encounter divergent views, but try as honestly as possible to give facts as they are from Biblical point as well as Historic view.
I have never been and don’t intend to be a neo imperialist. one thing i do not do or encourage is trivializing a forum like this into a racial or ethnic debate. I believe in…
objectivity
@ the Prince- where in my comments have i said Palestinians are evil? I pointed out the genealogy of arabs and Jews from Ishmael and Isaac respectively, both children of abraham. One was by Hagar, the bondwoman and another through Sarah by Promise of God (Genesis 16 & 17). There a so many arabs who are christians and that is besides the point. The point is what does the bible say about the state of Israel in relation to its Enemies? it says i will bless those who bless you and curse those who curse you; So therefore we are advising those who are make alliances with sworn enemies of Israel to trend cautiously to avoid the proclaimed curse.
But if you do not believe in bible as the word of God your views will be different and i respect that.
Iam amazed at the level of ignorance of most of the bloggers and their anti-Semitism comments. Few months I wrote an article how desperate we need Israel or Jacob. One truth and fact is that the above article on Israel is a very well researched unlike most of the negative comments it has attracted. Werther u believe or not that Israel is blessed by God it does not change the truth. History proves this, nations that have loved Israel have prospered and those who work against have disappeared. Mark my word PF might be one of the shortest part in power in Zambia as it is loosing popularity day by day. Their alliance with wrong nations/ ideologies will cost them. U keep talking nonsense, people are praying
I think we relate more to Palestinian’s and their fight for independence, having being occupied and fought for independence ourselves.
KASOMA MUTAMPO. When ever there is constructive criticism of the jews or Israel
by anyone friend or foe, it will be always and deliberately viewed as anti semitism from pro Israelis like you Kasoma. we have heard this before.
This is an example of how blindly following religion has cost million’s of lives over the centuries. Some say support isreal as the bible says oblivious the occupation which is illegal under international law. Oblivious to the fact that thousands of Palestinian men, women and children are in jails without trial. Every day Palestinians are killed.
@ Hohoo- What has cost millions of lives is lack of knowledge. People are not willing to understand reality around them. To understand the Israel-palestine conflict, go back to history, the past is what defines the future; our very existence is due to a past occurrence.
Now if God has destined the existence of israel as evidenced in Bible there is nothing mortal man can do. People will fight and die for lack of knowledge; and people will always die. and really any man who has nothing to die for is not worth living; key is deciding what cause to die for- i choose the cause of Jesus Christ
Alfred Bulaya, the bible should not be used to perpetuate a brutal illegal occupation of a people who have lived on the land for centuries. It should not be used as an excuse in the murder of Palestinians. It should not be used to justify the jailing of Palestinians without trial.
In fact I don’t really like posting numerous blogs after I’ve had my say, but this topic keeps pricking something that’s getting me so worked up. IF THESE VILE RACISTS -SO CALLED “CHOSEN ONES” WHO ONLY CARE FOR THEIR SELFISH NEEDS ARE THE ONES WHO’ll ENTER THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN, then for me I don’t wanna be in that heaven as it is the definition of what I understand to be HELL- full of merciless un- forgiving Killers.
As a country we should not align ourselves with the enemies of Israel.n The Bible says he that blesses you will bless.
@ keleni- heaven will be full of repentant sinners who were once murderers, racists, prostitutes etc but received grace by accepting Jesus Christ as savior. Eg thief on the cross. Luke 23:42-43
Hell on the contrary will be made up of self righteous individuals who were only preoccupied with judging others while refusing the word of God and the power thereof. Eg young rich ruler. Luke 18:23
Mr Bulaya, I give up. We are debating from 2 different perspectives here, one based on an interpretation of a very old book, & the the other on current evidence. Now I know im a big time sinner, but do not claim to be special & Gods Chosen one. You probably would get help from us sinner types, than your “Holy Zionist person note – I’m NOT talking about a Jewish person here, but the principles of The Zionist State, which is on par with Apartheid South Africa, if not worse. They have NO TIME for Gentiles /Africans, so supporting this cause is similar to a SLAVE supporting the Slave Master
Zambia’s 1 kwacha at independence was equivalent to GBP1. Now in 1973 KK chased Israelis who were constructing the UNZA, treating them inhumanely, because of the humiliating defeat of Egypt by Israel. Copper, Zambia’s only exporting product, dropped in value reducing Zambia to a net-begger with a external debt of US$7.2 Billion. Penalty for hating Israel.
ZAMBIA BACK TO JESUS GOSPEL CRUSADES do not hate Arabs. Stating the truth that Israel is for Israelis is note hating Arabs. Arabs should abide by Jewish laws if they want to continue in Israel or return to Saudi Arabia if they don’t want. Zambia should recognise Israel only and not Palestine. Note that Arabs are not Palestinians because Palestine was European made. There are no people called Palestinians.
Christians pray for Israel.
Dawson, what happened to the apartheid Boers of the national party in SA who worked with Israel ?
Zambia has always voted in favor of the Arab cause in the UNSC against Israel. Zambia is one of the haters of Israel and had it not been for the body of believers (Christians) no one would have comprehended the suffering this community would be going through.
There are no people called Palestinians on the face of the earth. If you argue, provide name of the king who ruled a people called Palestinians and what language they spoke (or still speak). The self claimed Palestinians speak Arabic and so they are Arabs from Saudi Arabia. (Note: Philistines are more ancient than Arabs and because of fighting Israel they were wiped out. Philistines are not Palestinians. Palestinians were created by UK to destroy Israel.)
Palestine is an illegitimate entity.
Saudi Arabia is one of the haters of Isreal, are they suffering ?
Alfred is explaining the excuses for Zionists to being evil, In defence the excuse, they will repent and all forgiven. Genius
@Kelvinator-Zionism as coined in 1890 by Nathan birnbaum was more of a political movement to champion the cause of a Jewish state of Israel by Jews who were then In the diaspora. It’s principles are not fundamentally Christian as you know the Jews rejected Christ, as God blinded them for sake of Gentiles, till Messiah is revealed to them in due course.
Christianity is a religious cause based on the teachings of Jesus Christ and apostolic faith which He established to proclaim the Kingdom of God through a new birth by the baptism of the Holy Spirit that was released through death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Alfred Bulaya, I have followed your posts and believe you ernestly desire the righteousness of God. My brother its pointless to debate the word of God with non believers. The foolishness of God is wiser than the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God is foolishness to those who perish.
Only a fool will dismiss as foolishness and gibberish a language he does not understand. If I dont understand Hindi or Mandalin (Chinese) I will be the most stupid person to believe that , that language is not real just because I dont understand it. Its the same with the things of God. Most of these people coming on this site and making a fool of God and Jesus dont sleep at night because their conscience wont allow them knowing that one day they will have to meet their Maker.
God bless
