South Africa

South Africa, as it exists today, is largely the product of ill educated Americans blackmailing and bribing to create what was supposed to be a democratic nation - in place of the white-centric totalitarian government those in power in America, wanted out!

Mind you, every time America has mettled in other countries politics - it has backfired.  But, never condemn the naively presumptuous for their continued optimism ..... their voters are not the ones being butchered.  And collateral damage is just that, a statistic!

Back in 1965, camping my way through Spain and into Portugal, I kept seeing the same faces - so finally had to ask whom they were.  They turned out to be a group of college students on vacation from South Africa.  Now South Africa was in the news quite a bit in the German news, so I took them straight into examination of very hard questions.  And they realized I was thinking my way through what I had read and heard.

I learned about the ill conceived policy of apartheid.  The politics of those in power and came to understand that these white young men were just as trapped by these policies as the native and immigrant populations were!  And the same could be said for the Rhodesians I met as well!

As history has shown, Rhodesia fell to a tribal based communist army and the bloodshed was appalling!  To this day, the white fortresses have successfully held off the entrenched army for decades.  And ever so often an enclave surrenders with guarantees of safe passage.  I have only heard of once that passage was not being given safety and both sides suffered appalling losses!

Of course this did not happen in South Africa, thanks in part to an iron fisted will of the President whom sought healing for the nation.  And this held for 25 years .... but now, the silent Christian ruler is dead and a tribal war is erupting as it did in Rhodesia.  You can call it anyway you want but it really boils down to pagans vs Christians.  You might remember how costly that battle was in Rome, certainly over 1,000,000 killed.  In Rhodesia, perhaps around 500,000 initially - many, many more across time.  Now South African Christians have been in a physical battle for a year!

Expect a mass exodus of up to 3,000,000 at first and another 5,000,000 casualties and escapees by end of next year.
Expect a bloodbath.

And note, it is not just whites being attacked, it is any Christian.  But, you really do not want to be white or mixed race at this time either!

So, powerless, I sit and listen, and contemplate the future of my grandchildren, as the world slowly turns upon Christians .....

Yet you, like I, are powerful if we would just get down on our knees and pray.
Seriously, it is time to take sides with prayer.
God can and does do wonders if we are just willing to ask according to His will in all matters.
