Madiba found Love in Nigeria witnessed by River Nile

Narrator: Thomas Jones

Peace and Safety in Judgment (1) (audio) David Eells – 4/29/26 Discerning Shepherds and Apostles Ellen Cary - 09/10/2008 (David's notes in red) Prophetic Word The seven-year cycle is over (A prophecy of the coming end of the seven years of plenty?). I have called, and you have not answered. I have warned over and over, but you have refused to hear. You shepherds who sit in your high towers have told my sheep that I didn't cause the towers to fall, that I didn't bring Katrina for destruction, that the floods and fires aren't at the hand of My judgment, teaching them that all power is not Mine, so they learn to not heed My warnings, they learn to not hearken to My voice because they believe your lies; and for this you false shepherds will pay a high price. I call you false, for you have turned from My divine plan for your life. You've allowed the enemy to entice you with the pleasures of this world, the riches and loftiness of sitting in high places. You have exalted your throne above Mine in making the choices you have to please men, to tickle their ears and tell them what they want to hear, rather than telling them the truth. Few there are who are listening to My voice and calling My church to repent of their wicked ways, for they have gone the way of the world; their lives are compromised and not set apart for Me, to live in the holiness I've commanded. See now, you false prophets who speak lies of peace and safety, you shall all be brought down by My Elijahs I'm about to release upon the land. (Man-child ministry) They will smite you with the sword of the spirit that will come forth from their mouths, and it shall be wielded with precision and accuracy. You who have given yourselves a title of apostle, know ye not it is only the Lord God Almighty who decides who I call as an apostle, or any of my ministry gifts to my body for their edification and growth to build my church. You gather together in your convocations to discuss your lofty plans of dominating my earth, but you know not of what you speak, for this world will never be dominated by your flesh. It is only by My Spirit that My Kingdom is established on the earth because it is established in the hearts of those I choose. My true apostles are in the fields of the world, in the dark places, establishing My Kingdom, for I have sent them. I alone, and no man, for I called and I instructed and I gave the order to go, and they have obeyed My voice to not only listen to obey My call, but to be chosen to follow My orders. They are nameless and they are faceless only to you, for I know their names and I know their faces. I know their hearts, and I know their minds, for they seek only My will, not to build their mighty kingdoms, as you have done, and for this they shall be rewarded greatly. For they are true warriors and true soldiers of the cross who have died to their own plans and purpose and allowed Me to send them out for My glory only, nothing to exalt themselves, but only Me. For they recognize they are but dust willing to be blown by the wind of My Spirit to wherever I will them to go. These shall have great reward in My house, for they have laid down their lives for the sheep, some even to death, never even thinking they are great or doing anything for recognition in My body, but only having a heart to follow after Me and being obedient to My word. Yes, the time has come for all false ones to be exposed, for you want to be leaders but you lead My sheep into the darkness, and for this the blood of many will be on your hands. The hour has come for your judgment, America, the great America, whom I have blessed to such measure that all the world envies you. But shortly, in an hour you think not, you shall fall, and the whole earth will groan, and the nations will lament and rejoice at the same time, for your greatness shall be over.   False Grace Won't Save from the Curse Lisa Cuevas - 03/29/2010 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I was being chased in a car. I do not know who was chasing me. But I stopped the car I was driving, and I saw a well-known man of God preaching. I got out of the car and walked toward him. He was preaching on a platform. There were many people listening to him. I noticed a white brick wall in back of him, a few feet behind him. I noticed that this white brick wall was bent over at the right side, like a piece of paper held up from the bottom, and how it folds at a corner. It was peculiar. (A white wall represents the Word that sanctifies and separates from the world but something is wrong with the way it is put together; the mortar..) I decided to tell the man of God that there was something wrong with the white wall behind him. (It doesn't measure up to the “sum of thy words.”) He stopped preaching to listen to me. He stood back up and turned to look at the wall behind him. He said that there was nothing wrong with the wall. I was surprised that he did not see it. I thought that it might hurt someone if it fell, yet he did not see anything wrong with it. He began to preach again. I walked away, discouraged. As I was going back to my car, I noticed his assistant, and I thought that if I told him that, maybe he could see it. With renewed hope, I told him about the wall. He looked up toward the wall, and he saw it. He immediately told the preacher. The preacher stopped again to look. They stood side by side to look at it, and he finally saw it. I was glad they saw it, but as I walked away, I wondered why, when I mentioned the wall, the man of God did not see it, but when his assistant saw it, and he heard it from him, he saw and believed. As my eyes opened, the Lord said, “Ezekiel 13:10-13”. I had never seen this scripture before when I had this dream. Being chased in a car represents the coming time of persecution. The wall, which is built by the truth of the Word, represents sanctification, meaning separation from the world. It is this separation that keeps the storms of life and curses of the enemy out. The untempered mortar is the teaching of false grace, peace, and safety, as in verse 16 below. The denominational ministers only have respect for their own and won't listen to those who are without, but when some of them see that their flimsy wall is failing to keep the curse out, due to their teachings, they will repent. Eze.13:10 Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there is no peace; and when one buildeth up a wall, behold, they daub it with untempered [mortar]: 11 say unto them that daub it with untempered [mortar], that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower; and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall; and a stormy wind shall rend it. 12 Lo, when the wall is fallen, shall it not be said unto you, Where is the daubing wherewith ye have daubed it? 13 Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: I will even rend it with a stormy wind in my wrath; and there shall be an overflowing shower in mine anger, and great hailstones in wrath to consume it. Those who do not repent will be destroyed with their leavened teachings when the curse overwhelms them. 14 So will I break down the wall that ye have daubed with untempered [mortar], and bring it down to the ground, so that the foundation thereof shall be uncovered; and it shall fall, and ye shall be consumed in the midst thereof: and ye shall know that I am the Lord. 15 Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered [mortar]; and I will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; 16 [to wit], the prophets of Israel that prophesy concerning (apostate) Jerusalem, and that see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord. (This Jerusalem is not the Bride but the apostate leadership of God's people.)   Earth to Go Through Living Hell Mary Linderman - 08/22/2011 (David's notes in red) There are no words to describe the place where the souls of those who chose to live their brief life on this planet without God must abide at the end of all things. As I was praying and meditating on the Word of God, a vision came to my mind. I was remembering the words of Mary Baxter, who described her own hellish vision, and I asked God for more information about this horrible end to all sin and sinners. For a brief moment, I was physically and mentally overwhelmed by a horrible and deep darkness and an infinite loneliness so profound and all-encompassing that being tortured eternally in a searing flame would have been a blessed relief. I saw the planet from above suspended over a yawning, deep, and horrible place. I saw the surface of the earth roasting in a fiery cauldron of seething flame like the sun, but it was alive at the same time. It was alive with people, animals, trees and fish. Yes, even the ocean was an orange wave of hot lava. They all answered to God. This was not hell but the underlying manifestation of all life before the reformation of the new Earth and the new Jerusalem. I knew that this was not a passing or capricious thought but a mental picture that I would never forget. This yawning pit is the eventual death, perhaps the second death, of all things that are fallen from grace. I am deeply grateful to my Lord Jesus for saving me from this eventuality. Praise God from Whom all blessings flow. This represents the living hell that the wicked of Earth shall feel during the tribulations to come, as a warning of the greater hell that awaits those who do not repent.   Call the Party Off! The Storm is Here! Ixchel Costa - 09/05/2007 (David's notes in red) I had a dream that I was at a large, very beautiful house. It was a party with lots of people. They were enjoying themselves, eating, drinking and having a good time. I was standing in the kitchen, just observing all that was going on. There was a huge backyard with a huge pool. It looked like a resort. There were people everywhere, in the house, outside in the backyard, in the pool swimming, sitting on the edges around the pool, some standing around in the backyard, and some in the kitchen. Then all of a sudden, I looked out the window to the backyard, and I saw the big palm trees begin to blow. The wind came out of nowhere and began to blow. As I was watching this, I knew that it was here -- the storm that God had warned us about. As it grew in intensity, the people were shocked and stunned. I ran outside and began to yell, “It's coming!!! It's coming!!! It's coming!!!” Then all of a sudden, out of nowhere, it seemed, water began to come toward us from everywhere like huge tidal waves and everyone panicked and tried to run for safety. Then I woke up. Mat.24:37 as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood they were eating and drinking, marrying and given in marriage, UNTIL the DAY that Noah entered into the ark, 39 and knew not until the flood came, and took them all away; so shall also the coming of the son of man be…. 42 Watch therefore: for you know not what hour your Lord doth come. 43 But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in which watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. 44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh. (48) but if the evil servant shall say in his heart, my Lord delayeth His coming; 49 and begin to eat and drink with the drunken; 50 the Lord of that servant shall come in a day when he looketh not for Him, and in an hour that he is not aware of, 51 and shall cut him asunder, and appoint him his portion with the hypocrites: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth. I believe this “storm” is both in the natural and in the spiritual realms. The storm and tidal waves from all directions represent many different kinds of judgments coming to wake up the elect by destroying the wicked and restoring the fear of the Lord.   The Five Angels of the Continents Dr. Samuel Doctorian 8/16/1998   Received on the Isle of Patmos This message was transcribed by Ruthanne Garlock from a tape we received in Singapore on August 30th, 1998, from Wee Tiong How. He had just returned from the Isle of Patmos, where he attended a prayer retreat with a small group of Singaporeans, and where Samuel Doctorian related this experience to them. We do not personally know Dr. Doctorian (a naturalized American), but his ministry is well spoken of by many of our friends in Singapore. “I was here alone in a house on the Isle of Patmos for several weeks to pray and seek the Lord. I found a little chapel - St. Nicolas's Chapel - where no one ever goes. I went there and poured out my heart before God. I found a rock on the side of a hill where I would go to sit and pray, meditate, and read the Bible. I ate very little during those days. Several times I went to the cave of John where he saw the great Revelation. While meditating for one month in this solitary place, I thought, “I wonder if the Lord will ever send a tenth angel?” I'd seen angels nine times before - in England, in Belgrade, Yugoslavia, in Amman, Jordan, in Jerusalem, and an angel that delivered a woman from being hanged in Upper Egypt; I saw the ninth angel in Beirut in the midst of war. The angel physically awakened me at 3:00 in the morning and told me to get out of the country immediately. I am grateful to the Lord until today - I don't know what might have happened to me if the angel had not come. Heaven will tell that one day. So I wondered whether I would see an angel for the tenth time. There were times when I was praying when I felt such a presence, I asked, “Lord, I wonder if an angel is coming now? “ But it was not so. One night, I even dreamt about an angel. He told me to fly in my dream, and I did - but that was only a dream. I wanted to see a real angel, as I had seen nine times before. On June 20 at 3:50 am, here in Patmos, suddenly my room was full of light, and there were no lights around here. It is a house all by itself at the end of the road near a monastery. Lo and behold, when I was wide-awake, I saw five beautiful angels. I saw their faces -perfect and human-like, but full of light. I saw their eyes, their hair, their hands. On my right side were two angels, and when I looked to the left, I saw three other angels with wings. They had beautiful white robes falling to the floor -something I can't describe with human words. I wondered why five angels had come, but I was trembling and shaking. I wanted to cry, but I could not. Just before I saw these angels in the Spirit, I had seen myself in a great meeting of multitudes, and I was preaching in English. An interpreter was on my left with dark hair and wearing a gray suit, but I can't remember what language he was speaking. I was prophesying this message: “My church, you preach love, you teach love, but you need to practice love - to show love. There is a need of unity in my body. There are many divisions among you. My spirit will not move and work where there is no unity. There is carnality in my church; too much uncleanness in my church. I desire, and I want a holy people. I died to make you holy”. While I was prophesying in the spirit, I was trembling. My eyes opened, and I was looking at the great multitude. And suddenly, in the midst of the prophecy, these mighty angels appeared. I went back from the pulpit and thought I was going to fall down. I am now wide-awake, but this is all happening in the spirit. Some power helped me not to fall down, and I wondered what was happening. Then suddenly the first angel on my right side said, “We are five angels from the five continents. We are here to give you messages from the five continents of the world”. The moment I heard that, I also heard the multitude crying out, “Ohhh, Ohhh, Ohhh.” I believe that multitude saw the angels also. Somehow, the Lord showed me that in the days to come, in many parts of the world, God is going to reveal Himself through ministering angels. It's going to happen publicly; it's going to happen in churches - thousands of people seeing angels at the same time. They will be ministering to the Body in these last days. Then came this message from the angels: “What you see and hear, tell it to the nations”. So it's not something to keep to myself. Whether they accept it or don't accept it, I have to tell it to the nations. David's note: These judgments appear to be from his time through the tribulation, continuing through the Day of the Lord. FIRST ANGEL: The first angel said, “I have a message for all of Asia”. When he said that, in a split few seconds, I could see all of China, India, the Asian countries like Vietnam, Laos - I've never been to those countries. I saw the Philippines, Japan, Singapore, Malaysia, and Indonesia. And then the angel showed me all of Papua New Guinea, Irian Jaya, and down to Australia and New Zealand. “I am the angel of Asia”, he said. And in his hand, I saw a tremendous trumpet that he is going to blow all over Asia. Whatever the angel said, it's going to happen with the trumpet of the Lord all over Asia. Millions are going to hear the mighty voice of the Lord. Then the angel said, “There shall be disaster, starvation - many will die from hunger. Strong winds will look like they have never happened before. A great part shall be shaken and destroyed. Earthquakes will take place all over Asia, and the sea will cover the earth. I saw this on June 20. Today is August 16. A few weeks ago, I heard the news of villages completely wiped out and washed into the sea in Papua New Guinea. Thousands of lives in great jeopardy. That happened a few weeks ago, and the angel told me it is going to happen all over Asia. “The earth will fall into the sea”, I heard the angel say, “part of Australia will be shaken. Australia will be divided, and a great part will go under the ocean.” This was frightening - I wondered whether I was hearing right. But the angel said, “Millions will die in China and in India. Nation will be against nation, brother against brother. Asians will fight each other. Nuclear weapons shall be used, killing millions”. Twice I heard the words, “Catastrophic! Catastrophic!” Then the angel said, “Financial crisis will come to Asia. I will shake the world.” I was trembling while the angel was speaking. Then he looked at me and smiled and said, “There shall be the greatest spiritual awakening - bondage will be broken. Barriers will be removed. And all over Asia - China - India - people will turn to Christ. In Australia, there shall be tremendous revival.” I heard the angel of Asia say, “It is the last harvest”. Then, as if the Lord were speaking, he said, “I shall prepare My church for the return of Christ.” I was happy with such good news after the message of judgment. All the time the five angels were in my room, I could feel their presence - it was tremendous. SECOND ANGEL: Then I saw that the second angel had a sickle in his hand, such as is used in harvesting. The second angel said, “Harvest time has come in Israel and the countries all the way to Iran”. I saw those countries in a few split seconds. “All of Turkey and those [inaudible;] countries that have refused me and refused my message of love shall hate each other and kill one another”. I saw the angel raise the sickle and come down on all the Middle East countries. I saw Iran, Persia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, all of Georgia, Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, all of Asia Minor - full of blood. I saw blood all over these countries. And I saw fire; Nuclear weapons were used in many of those countries. Smoke is rising from everywhere. Sudden destruction - men destroying one another. I heard these words, “Israel, Oh Israel, the great judgment has come”. The angel said, “The chosen, the church, the remnant, shall be purified. The Spirit of God shall prepare the children of God”. I saw fires rising to heaven. The angel said, “This is the final judgment. My church shall be purified, protected, and ready for the final day. Men will die from thirst. Water shall be scarce all over the Middle East. Rivers shall dry up, and men will fight for water in those countries”. The angel showed me that the United Nations shall be broken in pieces because of the crisis in the Middle East. There shall be no more United Nations. The angel with the sickle shall reap the harvest. THIRD ANGEL: Then one of the angels with wings showed me Europe from one end to the other - from the north all the way down to Spain and Portugal. In his hand, he had a scale of measurement. I saw him fly over Europe, and I heard the words, “I am grieved. I am grieved. Unrighteousness, uncleanness, ungodliness - all over Europe. The sin has risen to heaven. The Holy Spirit is grieved”. I saw the rivers of Europe flooding and covering millions of houses. Millions drown. After seeing this, I read the news a few weeks ago. Czechoslovakia had the worst flooding ever. I also heard that the big river in China is in tremendous danger of thousands of houses being destroyed by flooding. I didn't know all this news until after I had seen the vision and heard what the angels told me. Suddenly, I heard earthquakes all over Europe. “Countries that have had no earthquakes shall be shaken”, said the angel. And suddenly, in my spirit, I saw the Eiffel Tower in Paris crumbling, falling down. A great part of Germany destroyed. The great city of London - destruction everywhere. I saw floods all over Scandinavia. I looked to the south and saw Spain and Portugal passing through hunger and great destruction. Many will die from hunger all over Spain and Portugal. I was disturbed by all this news, and I said, “Lord, what about your children?” The angel said, “I shall prepare them. They shall be looking for the appearing of the Lord. Many will cry to me in those days, and I will save them. I shall perform mighty miracles for them and show them My power”. So in the midst of great destruction, there will be the grace of God in those countries. I was happy that God has His protection over His children. FOURTH ANGEL: Now we go to Africa. I saw the fourth angel with wings fly over Africa, and I could see from Cape Town in the south all the way to the north of Cairo - I saw all the countries there, more than fifty of them. The angel of Africa had a sword in his hand - a tremendous, sharp sword. Suddenly, I heard him say, “Innocent blood has been shed. Divisions amongst the people, generations far from the Lord - they have killed one another, thousands of people. I have seen my faithful children in Africa, and I shall reward all the faithful in the continent of Africa. I shall bless them abundantly. I shall control the weather - scorching and burning of the sun in some parts. Great rivers shall dry up, and millions will die from starvation. In other parts, flooding. Foundations shall be shaken. My sword shall judge the unrighteous and the bloodthirsty. So many earthquakes shall happen that rivers shall flow in different directions in the continent, flooding many villages”. I saw great pieces falling from the sky over different parts of Africa. “There shall be trembling of the earth like has not been seen since the creation. None shall escape the sword of the Lord.” I saw the River Nile drying up. It is the god of Egypt. Fishes dead and stinking all over Egypt. A great part of the middle of Africa will be covered with water, and millions dying. “Lord!” I said, “It is all bad news. All destruction. Any good news?” The Lord said, “The final day has come. Judgment day is here. My love has been refused now, and the end has come”. I was shaking and trembling. I thought I cannot bear it. FIFTH ANGEL: Then I saw the last angel flying over North and South America - all the way from the North Pole down to Argentina. From the East of the U.S.A. to California. I saw in his hand a bowl. The angel said he would pour out over these countries the judgments that were in the bowl. Then I heard the angel say, “No justice anymore. No righteousness. No holiness. Idolatry. Materialism. Drunkenness. Bondage of sin. Shedding of innocent blood - millions of babies being killed before they are born. Families are broken. An adulterous generation. Sodom and Gomorrah are here. The days of Noah are here. False preachers. False prophets. Refusal of my love. Many of them have the imitation of religion, but denying the real power.” When I heard all that, I begged the angel, “Can you not wait for a little while? Don't pour it. Give a chance for repentance”. The angel said, “Many times God has spared and has spoken, but they have not listened. His patience has come to an end. Beware, the time has come. They have loved money and pleasure more than they have loved Me”. As the angel began to pour from the bowl in his hand, I saw tremendous icebergs melting. When that happened, I saw floods all over Canada and North America - all the rivers flooded; destruction everywhere. I heard the world market collapsing with mighty earthquakes, and New York skyscrapers were tumbling - millions dying. I saw ships in the ocean sinking. I heard explosions all over the north country. I saw the angel pouring over Mexico and two oceans joining together: the Atlantic and the Pacific. A great part of northern Brazil is covered with water, the Amazon River turning into a great sea. Forests are destroyed and flooded. Major cities in Brazil were destroyed; earthquakes in many places. As the angel poured, great destruction took place in Chile and Argentina as never before. The whole world was shaking. Then I heard the angel say, “This will happen in a very short time”. I said, “Can't you postpone? Don't pour these things out all over the globe”. And suddenly I saw the five angels standing around the globe lifting up their hands and their wings towards heaven and saying, “All glory to the Lord of Heaven and Earth. Now the time has come, and He will glorify His Son. The earth shall be burned and destroyed. All things shall pass away. The new Heaven and New Earth shall come. God shall destroy the works of the devil forever. I shall show My power - how I will protect My children in the midst of all this destruction. Be ready for that day, for the Lord has come.” My room was full of light from the brightness of the angels. Then suddenly they ascended up to heaven. As I looked up, I saw the angels go in five directions. I know they have already started their duties. For more than an hour, I could not move. I was wide awake, trembling from time to time. I said, “Lord, shall I leave Patmos now?” He said, “No, I brought you here for a purpose”. I said, “The message from the angels all over the world is not good news. It is judgment, punishment, destruction, devastation. What will people say about me? I've always been a preacher of love, peace and good news.” The angel said, “It is our message. You are the instrument, the channel. What a privilege that God has chosen you to give this message to the nations.” I said, “Lord, Thy will be done”. To God be the glory. Scripture References: 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 “13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will God bring with him. 15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord. 18 Wherefore comfort one another with these words”. 1 Thessalonians 5:1-11 “1 But of the times and the seasons, brethren, ye have no need that I write unto you. 2 For yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so cometh as a thief in the night. 3 For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape. 4 But ye, brethren, are not in darkness, that that day should overtake you as a thief. 5 Ye are all the children of light, and the children of the day: we are not of the night, nor of darkness. 6 Therefore let us not sleep, as do others; but let us watch and be sober. 7 For they that sleep, sleep in the night; and they that be drunken are drunken in the night. 8 But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for a helmet, the hope of salvation. 9 For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ, 10 Who died for us, that, whether we wake or sleep, we should live together with him. 11 Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do”. Hebrews 12:22-29 “22 But ye are come unto mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, 23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, 24 And to Jesus the mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling, that speaketh better things than that of Abel. 25 See that ye refuse not him that speaketh. For if they escaped not who refused him that spake on earth, much more shall not we escape, if we turn away from him that speaketh from heaven: 26 Whose voice then shook the earth: but now he hath promised, saying, Yet once more I shake not the earth only, but also heaven. 27 And this word, Yet once more, signifieth the removing of those things that are shaken, as of things that are made, that those things which cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Wherefore we receiving a kingdom which cannot be moved, let us have grace, whereby we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear: 29 For our God is a consuming fire”. 2 Peter 3:1-13 “1 This second epistle, beloved, I now write unto you; in both which I stir up your pure minds by way of remembrance: 2 That ye may be mindful of the words which were spoken before by the holy prophets, and of the commandment of us the apostles of the Lord and Savior: 3 Knowing this first, that there shall come in the last days scoffers, walking after their own lusts, 4 And saying, Where is the promise of his coming? for since the fathers fell asleep, all things continue as they were from the beginning of the creation. 5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that by the word of God the heavens were of old, and the earth standing out of the water and in the water: 6 Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: 7 But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. 8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing (wishing) that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. 10 But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. 11 Seeing then that all these things shall be dissolved, what manner of persons ought ye to be in all holy conversation and godliness, 12 Looking for and hasting unto the coming of the day of God, wherein the heavens being on fire shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat? 13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness”.  Remember in all this judgment God will perform the Psa 91 Passover for the Saints. Psa 91:7 A thousand shall fall at thy side, And ten thousand at thy right hand; But it shall not come nigh thee.  Even as some are martyred they should remember that ”the sting (or pain) of death is sin”(1Cor15:56). And Jesus bore our curse. Gal 3:13  Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us; for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree:

A king enters the city, not with armour, not with force, but on a donkey. Palms wave in the air like declarations of victory. Voices cry, Hosanna, blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. They were celebrating a king, but didn’t understand the kind of king he was. Because this celebration is moving somewhere. The cheers of Sunday are already casting the shadow of Friday. This same road leads to a cross. Palms will give way to thorns. Shouts will fall silent beneath the weight of nails. Yet this is not a story of loss. It’s a story of love. Because the cross was never the end. It was the doorway. Palm Sunday leans toward an empty tomb. Toward a morning where death is defeated and hope rises with the sun. The king who came in humility will rise again in victory. Good morning. It’s good to see so many of you and to see your faces on this Palm Sunday. Alexander just said he forgot to remind you that there is a Maundy Thursday service, but it’s online only. So if you go to the website, it will be online and you can watch the Manndy Thursday service online. Father God, thank you for these moments, moments in your holy presence. We’ll hear your words again this morning, Lord Jesus, as you remind us why you came into this world. Help us then to see you and honour you. In your holy name we pray. Amen. I’m sure you’ll agree with me if I say that this amazing life that God gives us, with all of its joy and happiness and also sometimes with a struggle, isn’t always easy and sometimes really painful. There’s many reasons for that. We suffer loss. We struggle. We fail. We get angry. We get frustrated. All of these things and it causes pain. But maybe the most difficult of all of these challenges is the pain of surrender. That moment that I stand before God and I look God in the eye and I say, Lord, here’s my everything, my whole life, and I want to give that to you in a surrender. And from now on, Lord, you lead and I will follow. Because just think, most of us like to lead. Most of us like to make the decisions. Most of us like to be in control. And all we want of God is to follow behind and clean up the messes. So the question we’re going to ask this morning, and each of us has to answer that for themselves, is the question in my life, who leads and who follows? It’s a little bit of the question of Palm Sunday. Because for Jesus to get to that open grave, he had to surrender. And it started on Palm Sunday. So read with me Matthew 16. That was interesting. When I saw this, my last sermon here before I went off was from Mark, and it was the same passage, not the same sermon. So Caesarea Philippi is where they are. You’ll remember that, where Jesus asked the question, who do you say I am? And then we go in Matthew from verse 21, and I’m reading from the New Living Translation. From then on, Jesus began to tell his disciples plainly that it was necessary for him to go to Jerusalem and that he would suffer many terrible things at the hands of the elders. Presbyterians, you know that. The word for elder in Greek is presbyteros. He didn’t suffer by the presbyterians. By the hands of the elders, the leading priests, and the teachers of religious law. He would be killed, but, and that is a big biblical but. He would be killed, but on the third day, he would be raised from the dead. But Peter took him aside and began to reprimand him for saying such things. Heaven forbid, Lord, he said, this will never happen to you. Jesus turned to Peter and said, get away from me, Satan. You’re a dangerous trap to me. You’re seeing things merely from a human point of view, not from God’s. And then Jesus said to his disciples, who wants to lead, who wants to follow? If any of you want to be my follower, you must give up your own ways. Take up your cross and follow me. For if you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you give up your life for my sake, you will save it. So what do you benefit if you gain the whole world, but you lose your own soul? Is anything worth more than your soul? For the Son of Man will come with His angels in the glory of His Father and will judge all people according to their beliefs. And I tell you the truth, some standing here right now will not die before they see the Son of Man coming in His glory. So here we have Jesus in this discussion with His disciples, telling them what’s waiting for them as they journey to Jerusalem. For what they’ll see in a moment is they’ll go in there and they’ll hear the Hoshana, save us, Lord. They’ll hear what we just sang. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Baruch haba b’Shem Adonai. Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. They’re going to hear all of this, and they’re going to see this King. And Jesus says, stop. Let me tell you what’s really going to happen when you see all this. I’m going to Jerusalem because I am surrendering to the plan of God. I’m going there, and they will take me prisoner, and they are going to torture me, and I am going to suffer, and they are going to nail me to a cross, and I am going to die. But on the third day, God is going to let me walk out that tomb. And when you read this, and when you go read it again, you’ll see that when Jesus says this, you cannot feel in the language that there’s regret or a heaviness or, oh, my Holy Moses, why am I having to go and do this? Yes, He says, it’s going to be hard. Yes, it’s going to be difficult. I am going to suffer. I am going to be nailed to a cross. I am going to die. But, and there’s that big biblical but, on that third day, God is going to show up, and I am going to walk right out of that grave. Can you hear that, my friends? What He’s saying is this, if I am prepared to surrender and give it up to God, God will show up on the third day. Sometimes the third day is longer than three days. Sometimes the third day feels like it’s never going to happen. And Satan will stand, as he did outside the tomb of Jesus, and he was celebrating because he’s gone and dead. And on that third day, God says, arise, my love, arise, my love. Death no longer has a hold on you. And Jesus says to you and me, if you surrender your life to me, and you give it up, and I lead, and you follow, whatever it might be, there is a third day, and on the third day, God shows up. Is there any Baptist in this church that can say amen? Because that God that shows up is a good God, and a loving God, and a caring God, a God who knows me, and a God who gave His only Son for me. If I surrender, God shows up. Always. And this is not a biblical, well maybe it is, biblical, but this is one of ours. It’s a causal relationship. Jesus, being obedient and going to the cross, causes God to show up and open that grave. If Jesus did not go to the grave and give it all up, there would be no third day. Not for Him, not for me, not for you, and not for anyone. When I surrender, God shows up. Didn’t sit well with Peter. By now we should know that. And Peter has a word to say. In that beautiful verse 22, Peter took him aside and said, Heaven forbid, Lord, that would never happen to you. Now, if it wasn’t so serious, we could have a little chuckle out of this. Because just think about it. Here’s Peter looking at the Son of God, trying to stop the Son of God from doing what the Son of God had come to do in this world from the beginning. The irony is also a little sad. Peter, in doing this and just being so in a hurry, he misses, doesn’t see what it means for God to show up. Because Peter’s doing the Peter thing and the us thing. Peter’s looking out for Peter’s own interests. He’s thinking, Jesus, we’ve got a good thing going. Look at all the people with us. They’re just coming. We’re going to Jerusalem. It’s the feast. Do you know how we can build that congregation? Do you know how we can build this movement? We’ve got a good thing going. Don’t you talk about dying and stuff like that. Because here’s the thing. Peter’s looking out for Peter’s best interest. And the problem is so many of us fall into that same trap. And we think, if I lead, if I do the things, if I stay in command, if I do, then I’ll be fine. Because it’s for my best interest. How sad the answer that Jesus gives him. And no wonder Jesus is a little sharp in his answer. Because in doing what Peter is doing, he’s violating the most fundamental characteristic of God. Of who God is. Of who God works. Of how God functions in this world. And that is that God is always looking out for the best interest of others. When this world was messed up, he called the Noah. And he started over. When he needed to start out new, he called the man Abraham from Ur. And brought him all to the promised land. When things were not good, he sent a young man called Joseph. And three days was a little longer for him. But that was in preparation for him to show up when they needed him. Took a little baby and put him in the River Nile. Because God did show up for our best interest. He called prophet after prophet. He sent a man called John the Baptizer. And he sent his son. Problem is, when we start looking out only for our own interest. When we try and do things for ourselves and just manipulate and make them work as we think they should be working. Oftentimes we end up living in the wrong stories. And I think I’m great. And when I’m not doing great, I’m kind of angry at God. Why? Because I’m living in the wrong story. I’ve told you this story before, but it’s a really good illustration of this. There’s a story of the couple who were married 60 years. They decided to downsize. And as they were going through the house, the husband discovers this little box. Way back in the cupboard. Opens the box. There’s two beautiful crochet dolls in the box. And then there’s also this envelope with $90,000 in it. And he’s kind of stunned. So he walks in. He says, look what I discovered. Do you know anything about this? He says, yeah. It’s all me. He says, tell the story. He says, well, when we got married, my grandmother called me. And she said, I want to give you some advice for your marriage. When you get into a fight, don’t fight. Go to your room. Go calm down and crochet a doll. And just put it away. Put all the anger away with the doll. And he looked at this box. And he thought, wow. In 60 years. He says, that’s good. But what about the $90,000? She said, well, after the second doll, I didn’t have any more room for the dolls I crocheted. So I took them to the craft store and sold them for $5. He was living in the wrong story. And sometimes we live in the wrong story. So I ask myself, what if I’m living in the wrong story? What if I’m living in the wrong story when I’m trying to take control and I’m not waiting for God to show up on that third day? What if I’m running after this world because the world says, this is what you should be doing. This is what you should be running after. You want it all. You want it now. And if you don’t get it now, then fine with you. I’m going to do my own thing. What if Jesus says, verse 25, if you try to hang on to your life, you will lose it. But if you follow me and you give up your life for my sake, you will save the world. Why? Why should I give up my life? Because in that moment that I surrender is when God shows up. God’s power is not seen by our control in our lives. God did not raise Jesus because Jesus shied away from the cross. God raised Jesus from the dead because Jesus was obedient and went to the cross. And on that third day, God showed up and Jesus walked. My question in the beginning was, who lives, who falls in my life? Can we just for a moment look at our own lives and ask the question in my life, have I surrendered? Who’s in control when I get angry? Who’s in control of my finances? Who’s in control of my relationships? Who’s in control of the emotions? Who’s in control when I feel this world is overwhelming? Who lives? When you’ve answered that and when I’ve answered that, because remember what I’ve always said, every sermon I write is written for this person. And then I come share it with you on my own life. So I ask these questions of myself. So here’s my challenge for me, for us this morning. Will you surrender? Will you take all of the things in your life, also the control, also the things that you’re afraid of, also the things that you’re not sure that you can let go, can you take those? And can we put them in the hands of our Father? The one who sent His Son into this world. The one who turned His back when His Son cried out, my God. And then the one who showed up on that third day and He opened that door. Can we place it in the hands of the Lord and surrender? There’s a song that we sing, I surrender all. I surrender all, all to Jesus. Will you take that? I’m going to give you a moment before I pray with you, just to think about what in my life is there that might, instead of helping me because I’m trying to control it, it’s hurting me. What is there in my life that this morning I can come and lay at the feet of Jesus and say, I surrender. You lead, I follow. I’m scared because it might lead to Jerusalem and there might be an angry mob and there might be the cross, but on the other side there’s an open grave. This is my Lord, I surrender. Take a moment and be quiet with the Lord and then I’ll pray with you. Lord Jesus, when you invite us, your promises are never empty. You’ve kept them all and you’ve fulfilled them all, more than we could ever think. And if you, if you come and you say, this is what I call you, surrender. Use your life, follow me. I have more than you could ever think. We trust you. And you heard our hearts this morning. As we just surrender, Lord, what needs to go to you. Thank you that you lead. Thank you that we may follow. Sorry that sometimes we stumble and we take our own road and kind of want to do the Peter thing for a moment. Thank you that you are gracious because that is who you are. Thank you for the blessing of this morning. Thank you for this blessing of this day. All these things we pray in the name of him who came in the name of the Lord, the one who can and did save us. Jesus, our Lord, our Saviour. Amen.

'There was a time when I couldn't walk down the King's Road without being mobbed,' chuckles Levison Wood. This is no brag, though: it's said with the bemusement of a man who was catapulted to fame after his plan to trek the length of the River Nile made him into an unlikely celebrity alongside today's crop of modern explorers.• Listen to Country Life podcast on Apple Podcasts• Listen to Country Life podcast on Spotify• Listen to Country Life podcast on AudibleWe're delighted that Levison joined James Fisher on the Country Life Podcast this week, to talk about how his early life roaming Staffordshire morphed — via a stint in the Paras regiment — into a career trekking the world, from the jungles of South America to the freezing mountains of the Himalayas. His books and documentaries — one of which became the most-watched factual TV programme in Britain in 2015 — have made him a hugely well-recognised face, and he tells the tale of how his thirst for adventure, and his fascination with connecting with people around the world, brought him to where he is today.That fascination with people also underlies his latest book, The Great Tree Story. He happily admits that he's no botanist, and couldn't tell one species of tree from another: instead, this is a tale of how the lives of people have intertwined with the trees around them for millennia. Take the yew trees that dot churchyards around Britain, for example: they weren't planted after the ancient churches were built; instead, the churches were built at the sacred spots where the oldest trees stood proud. It's a fascinating listen; you can find out more about The Great Tree Story here.Episode creditsHost: James FisherGuest: Levison WoodEditor and producer: Toby KeelMusic: JuliusH via Pixabay Hosted on Acast.

The Pyramids of Giza are among Egypt's most famous landmarks. The Great Pyramid is made up of 2.3 million stone blocks, weighing five million tonnes in total. For centuries no one has known precisely how they were built, or how the stones were transported.Using radar satellite imagery, historical maps and geophysical surveys, a research team has mapped a long-lost, ancient branch of the River Nile - which they believe was buried by a major drought and sandstorms thousands of years ago. They think this waterway was used for the transportation of heavier blocks, equipment and people and finally explains how the Pyramids were constructed. So is this mystery finally wrapped up?Rehab Ismail, a BBC journalist in Cairo, describes what it's like to visit the Pyramids of Giza and explains what the Egyptian authorities are doing to preserve the area from over-tourism. Egyptologist Yossra Ibrahim tells us which mysteries have been solved and which still remain. Archive courtesy of British Pathé.

The 1st of August 1798 saw the British fleet sailing towards Alexandria into a land of classical history and mythology, the sun setting like blood over the River Nile and French flags flying over the city. The scene could not be more perfectly suited to the cataclysmic battle that would soon take place there, in which Horatio Nelson would guild his legend forever. Charged with leading a squadron of fourteen ships into the Mediterranean to find Napoleon Bonaparte and his vast fleet, Nelson had chased him all the way to Alexandria which the French had seized along with the rest of Egypt. At last, lookouts spot the masts of Napoleon's ships - a moment of near transcendent excitement for Nelson and the men of his fleet. At last, it seemed, the moment had come for their battle of total annihilation in all its gore and glory. Wary of this, the French commanders urged Bonaparte to withdraw, but in his hubris the French general refused. So it was that the greatest naval battle of the 18th century began, to the thunder of cannons, screaming sailors, and the chaos of gun smoke, soot, splinters and blood…. Join Dominic and Tom as they describe one of the most decisive and dramatic moments of both naval history and Horatio Nelson's life: the Battle of the Nile. _______ Twitter: @TheRestHistory @holland_tom @dcsandbrook Producer: Theo Young-Smith Assistant Producer: Tabby Syrett Executive Producers: Jack Davenport + Tony Pastor Learn more about your ad choices.

My conversation today, is with advisory board member Essence of Africa Leanne Heigh.  Our chat today will explore the inspiration behind this exciting project, what sets it apart from other travel shows, and the key factors driving its success. Leanne shares her insights on the gaps in the market, the unique African business environment, and why quality meetings and global buyers are at the heart of Essence of Africa. Profile I arrived in Africa in February 1994 as a young backpacker, I stayed on as a Tour Leader and within a frighteningly short period was managing the largest overland truck company on the continent. In November of 2013, my husband James and I were asked to become joint CEOs of Tourvests operations in East Africa, Tourvest had just bought out the minority shareholders. It also coincided with the worst trading period in the history of East African tourism as the industry reeled from terror attacks and then ebola outbreaks.   Tourvest emerged stronger from these events and restructured. I remained as CEO for the Lemala and Adrift brands which have since evolved into a group of 10 properties operating in Tanzania and Uganda, and an exciting activity brand offering exhilarating adventures on the River Nile. We are all incredibly proud of the team members that make up the #spiritoflemala and the positive impact that our tourism work has on our staff, their families and the communities from which they are drawn. Lemala is a happy place and I am proud to play my part in its work.  

Africa's longest river flows through 11 countries, helping to sustain more than 200 million people directly or indirectly. However, the very lifeblood of these nations is under threat from increasing human activity upstream that poses a significant risk to the River Nile's fragile ecosystem. Sheila Ponnie reports from Bor, in Jonglei State, South Sudan.

The Great Pyramid of Giza is the only ‘Wonder of the Ancient World' still standing. Built over 4500 years ago at the same time as Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid has become synonymous with all things Ancient Egypt. But what was its original purpose? How long did it take to build? And just how did the Pharaohs manage to erect what was then the tallest structure in the world? In today's episode of The Ancients, Tristan Hughes begins our four-part mini-series focusing on the ancient world's greatest architectural wonders with Dr. Joyce Tyldesley OBE. Together they explore the origins of the Great Pyramid, explain why it was built next to the gushing waters of the River Nile and discover what it can tells us about the people who built it and the society they came from. This episode was produced by Joseph Knight and edited by Aidan Lonergan.Enjoy unlimited access to award-winning original documentaries that are released weekly and AD-FREE podcasts.

Snaking across 4,000 miles and 11 African countries, the River Nile is perhaps the most famous river on planet earth. The 80 billion gallons of water that flow through its banks each day give life to countless animals and ecosystems - from crocodiles and hippos, to rare species of fish, plants, and people. But who has tried to harness the power of this river, and why have so many failed? What cultures have grown from the Nile's waters? And why are emperors, prophets, writers, Kings and Queens, drawn to its famous banks? This is a Short History Of the River Nile. Written by Paul Kerensa.

The Cuban government has claimed ownership of all the children and made it a crime for Christian families to tell their kids about Jesus. What's with that? Why do governments, the schools, the media, and demonic forces target our children? What should parents do if the government attempts to take their children away, force them into government schools, or kill them in the River Nile? What would you do?

A surgeon at Gaza's largest hospital, Al-Shifa, has told the BBC the main intensive care unit there has been hit. Marwan Abu Saada, a surgeon currently inside Al-Shifa hospital, says sounds of shooting and bombardments echo "every second" and that no-one can leave or enter the hospital. The Israeli military has repeatedly accused Hamas of operating from tunnels underneath the medical facility, which Hamas denies. Israel has previously said it does not fire on hospitals - but has today acknowledged "intense fighting against Hamas in the vicinity of the area in question". Also in the programme: the rival factions in Sudan's civil war have accused each other of blowing up a bridge over the River Nile; and we'll hear about high-altitude forests that are being restored in the Andes.

In conclusion, in Genesis, the Israelites gave themselves to the Egyptian Pharaoh to become his slaves to survive the harsh famine in the land. We now begin the book of Exodus. The Hebrews lived in captivity in Egypt as slaves for 400 years. God heard the cries of Hebrew slaves and set a plan to free them from Pharaoh. Pharaoh became concerned that the Hebrews grew in numbers and multiplied exceedingly. He then decreed that all Hebrew firstborn males be killed while allowing their daughters to live. The midwives obeyed God and did not kill the male babies. God blessed the midwives with their own families. Moses' mother hid baby Moses for a little while until she could no longer hide him. She made a basket to put Moses in it and then placed the basket in the River Nile. Pharaoh's daughter saw the basket and the baby and decided to raise Moses as her child. She also called Moses' real mother to nurse him and pay her wages. God ordained this story to protect Moses from Pharaoh's death mandate and place him directly under Pharaoh's household. This amazing story and the book of Exodus are crucial for understanding our times and how to react when the elites enact unethical mandates.Video at https://youtu.be/KCJ4npvPFdYArticle at https://www.savedandloved.com/post/140-exodus-1-2-birth-of-moses***********Support MrE and his channel at:Apocalypse Watchman by MrE, https://www.bitchute.com/channel/apocalypse_watchman/MrE, https://odysee.com/@MrE:cDonate to MrE at PayPal.me/mrehistoryPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/mremedia***********Multiple ways to support my work:My books: https://www.savedandloved.com/shopDonate to my site: https://www.savedandloved.com/donateBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/savedandlovedDonate at Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/SavedAndLoved31

In the mid 19th century, a team of explorers set off in search of an elusive goal – the source of the River Nile. Set against a backdrop of imperial expansion into Africa, the expedition was led by Richard Francis Burton and John Hanning Speke – two men who should have been great partners, but became bitter rivals. Candice Millard tells Ellie Cawthorne about Burton and Speke's gruelling, dangerous journey, and the guide who made it possible – Sidi Mubarak Bombay.

In 2019 Sarah became the first woman to lead an expedition down the Nile, the world's longest river. The expedition began at the Nile's source in Rwanda and followed the path of the White Nile to its end where it meets the Mediterranean Sea. The trip involved over 1,100km of rafting, 3,000km of kayaking and other forms of transport to make it down this mighty river. On the way she was attacked by a hippo, arrested and detained in Burundi, ran some lethal rapids and travelled through Sudan as the people attempted to overthrow the government. This drama was complimented by experiencing the diverse cultures of the countries she travelled through, seeing the incredible landscapes and being challenged physically and mentally. #diariesofthewildones #adventure #wildstory #storytelling #explore #inspiring #africa #travel #crazystory

Exodus 20:2-4 “I am the Lord your God, who rescued you from the land of Egypt, the place of your slavery. You must not have any other god but me. You must not make for yourself an idol of any kind or an image of anything in the heavens or on the earth or in the sea.” The Ten Commandments are remarkable in many ways but possibly the most amazing fact is that they are so short. Since they were delivered to Moses, governments have laid down tens of millions of laws, but these ten commandments offer us the solid foundation for any society which wants to build its life in a godly and sustainable way. Whichever way you say the word, ‘commandments' don't sound jolly! They sound severe and restrictive, so we need to remind ourselves of those words with which they begin. God reminds his people that he is their saviour and was the one who led them miraculously out of Egypt. It was because of his love for them that he gave them these laws, which would ensure that they would continue to be blessed. Any loving parent will put in place very clear rules and boundaries for their children, in order to ensure that they thrive and live safely. God is no different, and has given us these foundational rules so that we can enjoy life to the full. The first two commandments demanded that the people should only worship the one true God. There were plenty of other gods on offer in Moses' time and the people knew it. The Israelites had lived in Egypt for 400 years and would have been familiar with the many gods that were worshipped in that land. The Pharaohs were believed to the sons of the sun god, Rah. Indeed, every part of life was dominated by different gods. They worshipped the River Nile and honoured Apis, the chief god of Memphis, in the form of a sacred bull. They also worshipped Serapis, who defended the land against locusts. On all sides they were offered gods they could follow but God demanded exclusive worship. Our society is also full of gods. There are not only innumerable other religions and philosophies but our material possessions, ambitions, careers, hobbies or sports can be just as demanding in calling for our commitment and devotion. But God alone deserves our worship. We need to build our homes, communities and nations on this foundation principle. If we are to build our lives on the Ten Commandments, this is where we have to begin. Question: In what ways do these first two commandments shape your life? Prayer: Lord God, help me to give you the first place in my life. Amen

Elsy Wameyo - "River Nile" from the 2022 Nilotic EP on Music in Exile. Over the past few years, Nairobi-born, Adelaide-based artist Elsy Wameyo has made a name for herself in hip-hop, garnering both the Young Kenyan of the Year award in 2018, and the People's Choice Best Hip Hop Award at the annual South Australian Music Awards in 2019. Her debut EP, titled Nilotic, is a tribute to her indigenous roots to the people of the Nile Valley who speak Nilotic languages. In a press release, she explains that today's Song of the Day is an exploration of her newfound strength. “‘River Nile' was a revelation, a turning point that led me to understand who I truly am. I had been so weak, fighting a battle that was never mine. This song came about after I learnt how to strategically use the power within. I journeyed with this song to find a place of rest. I reached a level where I no longer had to work. Instead, I used the forces around me to gain altitude. The moment I found it, it was game over for everyone else.” Read the full story at KEXP.orgSupport the show: https://www.kexp.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Think Sahara Desert, think intense heat and drought. We see the Sahara as an unrelenting, frazzling, white place. But geo-archaeologist Dr Judith Bunbury says in the not so distant past, the region looked more like a safari park. In the more recent New Kingdom of Ancient Egypt, from around 3.5 thousand years ago (the time of some of Egypt's most famous kings like Ahmose I, Thutmose III, Akhenaten, Tutankhamun and queens like Hatshepsut) evidence from core samples shows evidence of rainfall, huge lakes, springs, trees, birds, hares and even gazelle, very different from today. By combining geology with archaeology, Dr Bunbury, from the department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge and Senior Tutor at St Edmund's College, tells Jim Al-Khalili that evidence of how people adapted to their ever-changing landscape is buried in the mud, dust and sedimentary samples beneath these ancient sites, waiting to be discovered. With an augur (like a large apple corer), Judith and her team take core samples (every ten metre sample in Egypt reveals approximately 10,000 years of the past) and then read the historical story backwards. A model of the topography, the environment, the climate and the adapting human settlements can then be built up to enrich the historical record. The core samples contain chipped stones which can be linked directly to the famous monuments and statues in the Valley of the Kings. There are splinters of amethyst from precious stone workshops, tell-tale rubbish dumped in surrounding water as well as pottery fragments which can be reliably time-stamped to the fashion-conscious consumers in the reign of individual Pharaohs. The geo-archaeological research by Judith and her team, has helped to demonstrate that the building of the temples at Karnak near Luxor, added to by each of the Pharaohs, was completely dependent on the mighty Nile, a river which, over millennia, has wriggled and writhed, creating new land on one bank as it consumes land on another. Buildings and monuments were adapted and extended as the river constantly changed course. And Judith hopes the detailed, long-range climate records and models we already have, can be enriched with this more detailed history of people, their settlements and their activities within a changing landscape and this will contribute to our ability to tackle climate change.

It's more than two weeks since a deadly earthquake struck south east Afghanistan, killing more than a thousand people and leaving tens of thousands homeless. Auliya Atrafi from BBC Media Action in Kabul and Aamir Peerzada from BBC Delhi both travelled to the epicentre in Paktika province, and Ali Hamedani tracked down survivors from his base in London. Bolsonaro and Brazil's black women voters Evangelical Christian black women from poor backgrounds played a significant role in the election of Brazil's right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro 4 years ago. BBC Brasil's Nathalia Passarinho visited cities around the country to find out why they voted for a candidate accused of making racist and sexist comments then, and will they do it again? Cairo houseboats The famous houseboats on the River Nile in the heart of Cairo are being demolished and towed away. The authorities say they are standing in the way of the state's grand development plans, but there has been a campaign to save these iconic floating homes, in which some families have lived for decades. BBC Cairo's Sally Nabil visited the residents to hear their stories. (Photo: Auliya Atrafi of BBC Media Action interviewing an earthquake survivor. Credit: Courtesy BBC Media Action Afghanistan)

Following on from our last episode, another CIA adventure in the Middle East kicks off this episode on Egypt. King Farouk's removal from power is the starting pistol for the Egyptian Revolution—a landmark event in modern middle eastern history. The figure of Nasser reigns supreme, whose dogged attempts to resist incorporation into the new U.S.-led Western order precipitated a crisis that might have led to World War 3: the Suez Crisis. All eyes remain fixed on Egypt today, as the war in Ukraine threatens fatal food shortages there, and regional rivalries over the River Nile could turn ugly.
