À peine l'encre des signatures des présidents congolais et rwandais avait-t-elle séché jeudi dernier à Washington que les combats s'intensifiaient dans le Sud-Kivu. « Lundi, rapporte Le Monde Afrique, des affrontements ont été signalés aux abords de la localité de Luvungi, à environ 60 kilomètres au nord d'Uvira, selon des sources militaires. Des tirs et des détonations ont également résonné aux abords de Sange, localité à mi-chemin entre Uvira et Luvungi. Un officier au sein de l'armée burundaise a évoqué de « très nombreux » soldats, congolais et burundais, en fuite et passant la frontière avec le Burundi. Les combats font rage désormais à une trentaine de kilomètres au nord de la ville d'Uvira, et impliquent plusieurs milliers de soldats burundais, en soutien à Kinshasa. » Uvira aux mains du M23… D'après le site Afrikarabia, spécialisé sur la RDC, Uvira est même déjà tombée… Les rebelles de l'AFC-M23 sont entrés hier dans la ville, affirme le site. « Les témoignages sur place faisaient déjà état de la fuite des autorités civiles et de militaires dans la journée, alors que la rébellion se tenait à Kiliba, à une quinzaine de kilomètres au Nord d'Uvira. Le scénario de la prise de Goma et Bukavu en début d'année se répète donc dans cette ville de 600 000 habitants au bord du lac Tanganyika, pointe Afrikarabia : des rebelles qui progressent très rapidement face à une armée congolaise qui opère de multiples replis stratégiques, laissant ainsi la voie libre à l'AFC-M23. » Et, ça n'est pas une surprise, poursuit le site : l'accord de paix entre la RDC et le Rwanda, sous l'égide des États-Unis, est en effet une « paix de papier », s'exclame-t-il. Pour la simple raison que « l'AFC-M23 n'est pas partie prenante de cet accord. Or, c'est justement le M23 qui est sur le terrain et qui opère, même si le mouvement rebelle est soutenu par Kigali. La signature de l'accord de Washington donne l'impression d'avoir mis la charrue avant les bœufs, constate encore Afrikarabia, en signant d'abord la paix avec le Rwanda avant de trouver un accord avec le M23 à Doha. » Cap vers le Katanga ? La Libre Afrique à Bruxelles confirme la chute d'Uvira… « La cité a été rapidement ceinturée et les rebelles ont ainsi pris le contrôle de la frontière burundaise, pour empêcher l'arrivée de renforts éventuels de l'armée congolaise. Face à cette situation et « pour éviter un bain de sang et limiter les dommages dans la ville, les notables d'Uvira ont demandé aux rebelles de les autoriser à négocier le départ des troupes fidèles au régime de Kinshasa », explique un diplomate occidental. Des tractations qui ont pris plusieurs heures mais qui ont abouti à un départ dans le calme de la plupart des hommes en armes. » Pour leur part, précise encore La Libre Afrique, « les rebelles ont déjà annoncé qu'ils allaient  poursuivre leur avancée et mettre le cap sur le Katanga. […] Il faut mettre la main sur le coffre-fort du clan présidentiel », lance un cadre de l'AFC-M23. » Le Katanga, au Sud, qui « est le tiroir-caisse de la RDC, relève Afrikarabia, avec ses riches mines de cuivre et de cobalt. » Une menace pour le Burundi… La conquête d'Uvira « est (donc) stratégique à plus d'un égard », pointe Jeune Afrique. « Après la chute de Bukavu, en février, Uvira a en effet servi de point de repli aux autorités provinciales du Sud-Kivu. Située à l'extrémité nord du lac Tanganyika, c'est un point de passage obligé pour se projeter vers Kalemie (et plus au sud vers le Katanga). Enfin, Uvira fait directement face à Bujumbura, la capitale économique du Burundi, dont l'aéroport sert depuis plusieurs mois de relais discret pour l'acheminement de renforts et de munitions vers le front de l'est. » D'ailleurs, poursuit Jeune Afrique, « l'expansionnisme de l'AFC-M23 dans cette zone est considérée comme une menace directe par les autorités burundaises, déjà confrontées à une importante crise économique. Entre le Rwanda et le Burundi, la tension a continué à monter ces derniers jours. Il y a une semaine, le ministre rwandais des Affaires étrangères avait accusé le Burundi « d'être un saboteur du processus de paix ». Et, il y a deux jours, son homologue burundais lui répondait indirectement en accusant le Rwanda de mener « des activités déstabilisatrices » contre son pays et de cibler les soldats burundais dans l'est de la RDC. »

Les États-Unis et les grands pays européens appellent les rebelles du M23 et l'armée rwandaise à « cesser immédiatement » leur offensive sur Uvira, en République démocratique du Congo. Le Burundi, qui a dépêché des troupes au Congo pour défendre Uvira, est inquiet. « Ce qui menace Uvira menace aussi Bujumbura », affirme ce matin sur RFI Edouard Bizimana, le ministre burundais des Affaires étrangères, qui ajoute que son pays est  « prêt à user de tous les moyens pour protéger ses frontières », et empêcher la chute de la grande cité congolaise. « Toutes les options sont sur la table », dit-il. En ligne de Bujumbura, le chef de la diplomatie burundaise répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.  Monsieur le ministre Édouard Bizimana est-ce que vous pensez que la ville d'Uvira est menacée ? Édouard Bizimana : oui, la ville d'Uvira est menacée depuis le 2 décembre quand ils ont intensifié les combats. Bien sûr, c'était avec le renfort venu du Rwanda. On a vu des camions remplis de militaires. La première fois 17 camions remplis, la deuxième fois 22 camions remplis qui traversaient Bugarama, une localité du Rwanda pour aller vers la frontière congolaise. Et ils ont aussi utilisé des armes lourdes, de l'artillerie et des drones kamikazes, des drones de fabrication turque. Mais du côté des FARDC et de votre task force, il n'y a pas de drones ? Ah ça, je ne sais pas, je ne suis pas sur le terrain. Donc, ce que vous nous dites, c'est que les assaillants ont une supériorité aérienne, c'est ça ? Bon, ce n'est pas ce que je veux dire, mais ce que nous regrettons, c'est que ce sont des armes qui tuent à l'aveuglette. Ils ont lancé les bombes sur les populations civiles, qui ont obligé les gens à fuir les localités. Donc nous avons maintenant beaucoup, beaucoup de réfugiés qui affluent vers le Burundi. Et pour ces réfugiés qui fuient vers le Burundi, est-ce que la frontière est ouverte ? Oui, la frontière est ouverte et nous avons déjà depuis trois jours enregistré plus de 30 mille réfugiés et demandeurs d'asile. Alors la ville congolaise d'Uvira est à quelque 20 kilomètres à peine de la capitale économique du Burundi, Bujumbura. Si les rebelles et leurs alliés rwandais entrent dans Uvira, vous réagirez comment ? En tout cas, toutes les options sont sur la table. Parce que Uvira et Bujumbura, ce sont des villes côtières. Et ce qui menace Uvira menace aussi Bujumbura. Donc le Burundi est prêt à user de tous les moyens pour protéger sa population et ses frontières. Et pourquoi dites-vous que ce qui menace Uvira menace aussi Bujumbura ? Parce que les deux villes sont très proches, ce sont deux villes jumelles au bord du lac Tanganyika, c'est ça ? Oui, oui, c'est ça. C'est ça. De Bujumbura, vous voyez l'autre côté de la rive et Uvira est là, et d'Uvira, vous voyez Bujumbura. Et donc c'est à quelques minutes de conduite par la route, si vous voulez. Et dans cette hypothèse là, vous estimez que vos intérêts vitaux seraient menacés ? Oui, bien sûr, nous serions menacés. Dans cette hypothèse, la capitale économique sera menacée et les mouvements des biens et des personnes entre nos deux pays seront perturbés. Et le flux des réfugiés, bien sûr, avec la pression que cela exerce sur les ressources que nous avons. Donc là, c'est une menace directe sur le Burundi. Parce que vous craignez peut-être l'arrivée au Burundi de dizaines de milliers de civils fuyant la ville d'Uvira. C'est ça ? Oui, oui, ils sont déjà en train de fuir. Et puis quand les gens fuient, même si vous faites le contrôle, il peut y avoir des malfaiteurs qui se cachent dedans, ou même des combattants qui se cachent dedans, pour en fait servir d'éclaireurs sur le sol burundais. Donc les enregistrements s'accompagnent de vérification minutieuse pour justement éviter qu'il y ait des gens armés qui puissent se faufiler entre les réfugiés. Et vous dites que, en cas de prise d'Uvira, vous prendrez toutes les mesures nécessaires. Lesquelles ? Ici, je ne peux pas donner les détails, mais toutes les options sont sur la table. Option militaire ou option politique ? Le tout. Parce que déjà, sur le plan militaire, vous êtes sur le terrain congolais. Qu'est-ce que vous pouvez faire de plus ? On est sur le terrain congolais, mais toutes les ressources n'ont pas été déployées. Peut-être qu'il y aura des mesures supplémentaires. Vous avez des troupes en réserve ? Vous savez, toute l'armée burundaise n'est pas en RDC. Ça ne peut pas se faire. Mais s'il le faut, il y aura des renforts burundais qui traverseront la frontière vers le Congo. C'est ça que vous nous dites ? Oui, j'ai dit que toutes les options sont sur la table. S'il faut des renforts, s'il faut quoi que ce soit, tout est sur table. Et je pense que aussi, si le président Trump croit à l'accord signé le 4 décembre à Washington, et vous le savez, les Etats-Unis, c'est une grande puissance, quand les Etats-Unis parlent, je crois que c'est difficile de fermer les yeux ou de se boucher les oreilles. Donc, il suffirait que les Etats-Unis mettent un peu de pression sur Kagamé. Je pense que le reste va se résoudre parce que le M23 sans Kagamé, sans le Rwanda, ce n'est rien. Et pratiquement, le Rwanda est devenu un facteur de déstabilisation. Et concrètement, dans les deux ou trois jours qui viennent., qu'est-ce que vous attendez de Donald Trump ? Non, c'est à lui de décider. C'est à lui de décider comment le faire. Parce que si l'accord du 4 décembre est signé et qu'il n'est pas appliqué alors que c'est lui qui avait fait les efforts pour convaincre les deux chefs d'Etat à se rendre à Washington pour signer, si ça reste dans les tiroirs, donc, je pense que ça serait aussi une humiliation pour les Américains. Edouard Bizimana, je vous remercie.   À lire aussiRDC: au Sud-Kivu, l'accord de paix de Washington reste un lointain mirage À lire aussiEst de la RDC: au Sud-Kivu, le front se déplace en direction de la deuxième ville de la province

Great Restoration and Revival (1) (audio) David Eells 10/8/25 Tommy Hicks – 7/25/1961 (David's notes in red) (This is a powerful vision given to American preacher Tommy Hicks, who was a major figure in the 1954 Argentina Revival.) A vision of the Body of Christ in the End-time ministries. (My message begins July 25, about 2:30 in the morning at Winnipeg, Canada. I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the revelation that God gave me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning of July 25, 1961. I was so stirred and so moved by the revelation that this has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon the end-time ministries. The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever been given lies straight ahead. It is so hard to help men and women to realize and understand the thing that God is trying to give his people in the end times. I received a letter several weeks ago from one of our native evangelists down in Africa, down in Nairobi. This man and his wife were on their way to Tanganyika. They could neither read nor could they write, but we had been supporting them for over two years. As they entered into the territory of Tanganyika, they came across a small village. The entire village was evacuating because of a plague that had hit the village. He came across natives who were weeping, and he asked them what was wrong. They told him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for three days. They had to leave. They were afraid to go in; they were leaving them in the cottage. He turned and asked them where they were. They pointed to the hut and he asked them to go with him, but they refused. They were afraid to go. The native and his wife went to this little cottage and entered where the man and woman had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth his hand in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and spoke the man's name and the woman's name and said, “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to come back to your bodies.” Instantaneously, these two heathen people who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately began to praise God. The spirit and the power of God came into the life of those people. To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning of these end-time ministries.  (I talked to a sister 3-6-25 whose husband had been dead for 81/2 months when I called him back in the name of Jesus and by the grace of God he came to her in her kitchen. In another case a husband, wife and children had been killed by Satanists as witnessed by Eve and my angel and I called them back and all immediately returned by God's grace. God can use a donkey. Back to Tommy's message.) God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, the no-accounts. He is going to take every man and every woman and he is going to give them this outpouring of the Spirit of God. In the Book of Acts, we read that “In the last days,” God said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I wonder if we realized what God meant when He said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I do not think I fully realized nor could I understand the fullness of it, and then I read from the Book of Joel: “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain…” (Joel 2:23). …He is going to give to his people in these last days a double portion of the power of God!) As the vision appeared to me after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself in a great high distance. Where I was, I do not know. But I was looking down upon the earth. Suddenly the whole earth came into my view. Every nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west, the north and the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembling as I beheld the great sight before me: and at that moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder. As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes went downward and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked at it, I was almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the south. Its arms were stretched from sea to sea. (Meaning: A great corporate body of saints.) I could not even begin to understand whether this was a mountain or a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live, but his body was covered with debris from head to foot (Sin and false doctrines), and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it would even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away. (Demons) Hideous creatures would run away from this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back. All of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand towards heaven, and then it lifted its other hand (Praising the Lord!), and when it did, these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night. Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands went into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him, and he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds. Suddenly, every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver (purified through heavenly fire) I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon, it was so great, I could not even begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord and I said, “Oh Lord, what is the meaning of this?” and I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence of the Lord even as I was asleep. And from those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant (light is truth), and slowly, slowly, this giant began to melt, began to sink itself in the very earth itself, and as he melted (bearing their cross), his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth, and this great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth itself, and as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth. As I beheld the sight before me, people stood up all over the world! They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord. At that very moment, there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white; the most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was the Lord Jesus Christ, and he stretched forth his hand, and as he did, he would stretch it forth to one, and to another, and to another. And as he stretched forth his hand upon the nations and the people of the world, men and women, as he pointed toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow from his hands into them, and a mighty anointing of God came upon them (The latter rain), and those people began to go forth in the name of the Lord. I do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months. And I beheld this Christ as he continued to stretch forth his hand, but there was a tragedy. There were many people, as he stretched forth his hand, who refused the anointing of God and the call of God. I saw men and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call of God. But as he stretched forth his hand toward this one and toward that one, they simply bowed their head and began to back away. And each of those that seemed to bow down and back away seemed to go into darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere. (Faction and falling away) I was bewildered as I watched it, but these people that he had anointed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, in Africa, England, Russia, China, America, all over the world, the anointing of God was upon these people as they went forward in the name of the Lord. I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, they were rich men, they were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness and blindness and deafness. As the Lord stretched forth to give them this anointing, they became well, they became healed, and they went forth exactly as the Lord did. And this is the miracle of it - this is the glorious miracle of it. It seemed as if there was this same liquid fire in their hands - those people would stretch forth their hands and say, “According to my word, be thou made whole.” These people continued in this mighty end-time ministry. I did not fully realize what it was, and I looked to the Lord and said, “What is the meaning of this?” And he said, “This is that which I will do in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm, the palmerworm, the caterpillar - I will restore all that they have destroyed. This, my people, in the end times will go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of the earth.” As I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the face of the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps he was in Russia, or China or America or some other place, and vice versa. All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them. Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And like Jesus, they passed through the multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a long prayer. And after I had reviewed the vision many times in my mind, and I thought about it many times, I realized that I never saw a church, and I never saw or heard a denomination, but these people were going in the name of the Lord of Hosts. Hallelujah! As they marched forth in everything they did, as the ministry of Christ in the end times, these people were ministering to the multitudes over the face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions, seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these people stood forth and gave the message of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. It was so glorious, but it seems as though there were those who rebelled, and they would become angry and they tried to attack those workers who were giving the message. (As in Jesus' day so it is in ours) God is going to give the world a demonstration in this last hour that the world has never known. These men and women are of all walks of life; degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were going over the face of the earth. When one would stumble and fall, another would come and pick him up. There were no “big I's” and “little you's,” but every mountain was brought low and every valley was exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common - there was a divine love, a divine love that seemed to flow forth from these people as they worked together, and as they lived together. It was the most glorious sight that I have ever known. Jesus Christ was the theme of their life. They continued and it seemed days went by as I stood and beheld this sight. I could only cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the face of the whole earth, bringing forth in this last end time. As I watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great congregations, and they would lift up their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, “I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh,” and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and woman that received this power and anointing of God, the miracles were without end. (We have talked about miracles. We have talked about signs and wonders, but I could not help but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o'clock the letter from our native workers. This is only the evidence of the beginning for one man, a “do-nothing, an unheard-of,” who would go and stretch forth his hand and say, “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into your body.” I dropped to my knees and began to pray again, and I said, “Lord, I know that this time is coming soon!”) And then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a great persecution seemed to come from every angle. Suddenly, there was another great clap of thunder that seemed to resound around the world, and I heard again the voice that seemed to speak, “Now this is my people. This is my beloved bride.” (In Revelation, we see the Bride in her “lampros,” liquid light garment who has been doing miracles all over the world. Rev.19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright (Lampros) and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. John the Baptist saw Jesus' first fruits disciples and called them the Bride for he said, “He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom.” This Bride went forth to do miracles in the gospels and in Acts and to pass this anointing on to the rest of the church. Then in Revelation we see the rest of the church in a white or “leukos” garment who are invited to the marriage. Rev.19:14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white (Leukos) and pure. And below we will see in Tommy's revelation the dead in Christ rising to be joined with them at the end of the seven-year tribulation.) And when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened, and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be rising. (The dead in Christ will rise first.) And as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these people came from every direction. From the East and the West, from the North and the South, and they seemed to be forming again this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ seemed to be rising first I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvelous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of. But as this body suddenly began to form and take shape again, it was in the form of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful, gorgeous white. (In Rev.19:14 this is the white or “leukos” garments of the church.) Its garments were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all ages seemed to be gathered into this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the Lord Jesus came, and became the head.  (Now, Jesus is the head of the Bride, John said was Jerusalem, just as David, as a type of the Man-child reformers, was head of the Bride, Jerusalem. In this way Jesus and David were also the head of the rest of the Body of Israel; a type of the Church. We see this same relationship of Esther as the Bride head of the body of Israel and the Shulammite in Song of Solomon as the Bride head of Israel.) I heard another clap of thunder that said, “This is my beloved bride for whom I have waited. She will come forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time.” As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the far north, and I saw destruction of men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings in destruction. Then I heard again, the fourth voice that said, “Now is My wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth.” (The Day of the Lord's wrath upon those who persecuted God's people.) From the ends of the whole world, the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials of God's wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. (The seals and trumps of the tribulation were followed by the vials of wrath in the day of the Lord. There are seven years before the Bride and Church are caught up followed by the year of wrath on the wicked who persecuted them. Isa.34:8 For Jehovah hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.) I can remember it as though it happened a moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing the cities and whole nations going down into destruction. I could hear the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in the mountains opened up. They leaped into the water, but the water would not drown them. There was nothing that could destroy them. They were wanting to take their lives, but they could not. Then again I turned my eyes to this glorious sight, this body arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly, it began to lift from the earth, and as it did, I awoke. (This is the catching up of the lampros Bride and white Church body at the end of the tribulation before the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord.) What a sight I had beheld! I had seen the end-time ministries - the last hour. Again, on July 27, at 2:30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did before. My life has been changed as I realized that we are living in that end time, for all over the world God is anointing men and women with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be a churchianity. It is going to be Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord. I heard it said so many times in the vision, “And according to my word it shall be done.”   Joel's Restoration Begins Sandy Shaw - 3/30/12 (David's notes in red) In this dream we were in a place that looked like Tahlequah, Oklahoma but it was bigger and prettier. It was really beautiful. (In Cherokee, Tahlequah means, “just two or two is enough”. Just as Jesus sent out the disciples and the 70 two by two, so it will be in our day when Jesus in the Man-child ministers will send out the two witnesses in the Great Revival.) There were a lot of people from UBM there, not just local but from all over. The people there were like-minded. There were many ages, from babies all the way up to old men. There was singing, praying, eating, and all kinds of fellowship and the kids were playing. It was like in a big meadow with a lot of shade trees. There was just ‘a oneness' there; it was peaceful and really beautiful. The sun felt so good. Then it started to rain while the sun was still shining, and the rain lasted only a few seconds before it began to pour down like a waterfall. It was just a steady, flowing stream of water hitting everyone there, from the babies to the oldest. (A renewal of the former rain upon the saints and then the beginning of the latter rain upon the David reformer ministries before it's given to the saints, just as Joel spoke of and the Gospels show in type: (Joe.2:22) Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength. (23) Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first [month]. (Note: Hos.6:3… he (the Lord) will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. The Lord will come as the anointing of the Holy Spirit not in the air or in a rapture of the Church!!) Back to Joel (24) And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. (25) And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm (representing the curse on God's people), my great army which I sent among you. (26) And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame. (27) And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame. (28) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: (29) and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit. Everyone was feeling this water and it was filling us up. It was freshness and newness and it didn't feel like any other kind of anointing one has ever felt before. We knew that we knew, it was there to stay. Everyone had their faces up to the water, to the anointing, feeling the water. (I am not doing it justice in explaining how it felt; how it was filling us up and how we all felt; even to say, “Walking on a cloud” is not the right words but I don't know any other words.) I saw people walking on stones and stickers in the ground, and we were barefoot, and it didn't hurt us, like we didn't feel it. (Representing walking above the curses of this world with no hurt.) We knew that we knew, our entire body was anointed of God. We knew what we were doing was ordained of God and we were just doing it. There were no questions. (I just can't explain the oneness or the way our hands felt; like they were not our hands, but the Lord's hands. …Each step was ordained of the Lord. We knew that nothing could take away what God had given to us. We were being completely used by Him. It was like walking or moving on clouds.) ... When everyone was filled, ... that's when we heard God tell us, “Ok, get busy; we're going to work now”. (The beginning of the spread of the revival.)   Revival Beginning at UBM Charlie Smith - 12/12/12 (David's notes in red) Notice the date of this dream: 12/12/12, the fullness of the elect. In the early hours of the morning, the Lord gave me this dream. In it, suddenly, I appeared in a large room where I saw brother David (representing the David Man-child reformers) and about 10 or 12 brethren standing around. (I asked the Lord if this was 12 and got a yes, which fits with Jesus and his 12 when revival began then.) I knew David, but his features had changed some. I mean, he really looked great. I could really see God in the man like I never had before. (David, here is a type of the Man-child reformers who will start this revival, just as Jesus, the Son of David, did in His time. The things that have been are the things that will be.) And I knew him, but the other brethren I did not recognize, although I really did know who they were. As I stood looking, a man came over to me and He was the Lord! The brethren were being taught how to minister to the needs of the people. Brother David walked across the room to pray for a man who came for healing. He stood before the man and said, “Be healed,” and the man was healed instantly. David turned and walked back to the other side of the room. (God's power is made perfect in man's weakness, so that no flesh can glory.) The brethren, as well as I, were amazed that the man was healed, and we started praising God and giving thanks. As we rejoiced, another man came forward for healing who was blind. One of the brethren came forth and laid hands on the man's head, saying, “Receive your sight”. And the man cried out, “I'm healed and I can see!” Other people in the room who were in need came forth immediately, some with missing or deformed limbs, twisted bodies, crippled, all such of humanity that was so pitiful; they came up and every one of them was healed instantly. I said, “Oh, God, how is it that everyone was healed instantly, so fast, so easily? Some had hands laid on them and others did not, but they were all healed”. The Lord smiled and said, “You could not see”. Then the Lord opened my spiritual eyes and said, “Now look”. And He showed me again the part where David said to the man, “Be healed”. This time I could see the words “Be healed” coming out of David's mouth, like a mist, and entering into the man. And as the word went into the man, he was instantly healed. I received a few scriptures that go with this dream: (Isa.55:11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please; and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Jer.1:12) I watch over my word to perform it. (Eze.12:25) For I am Jehovah and I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed. (Rom.10:8) The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart. And I was still wondering about the mist that I saw, and I got (Joh.6:63) The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. So I understood that, like Jesus spoke the Word, and it came to pass, so these brethren operated on that level. The scene changed and we were in a different, larger room. David and about 100 or more other brethren were gathered together. The brethren were being taught how to minister and were then sent forth. They went forth preaching the Word and healing the sick everywhere. The brethren covered much of this area and you couldn't go anywhere without seeing them. (Many Man-child ministers are coming here and they will send forth disciples as Jesus did.) And then the scene quickly changed again, and we were at another place outside. It was a large, grassy area with parking nearby, but I don't know where it was. Brother David and maybe as many as 500 brethren were gathered together and crowds of people were coming from everywhere. It looked like thousands or even hundreds of thousands were coming. The meetings ran day and night. One night, all the people saw a pillar of fire burning in our midst. They were being drawn by the Lord, and it was a holy move of God. So many saints were now coming together. Again, the scene quickly changed and I was lifted up, looking down on the earth, and I saw the saints running through all the earth, spreading the gospel and the light was shining all over the earth. I think what I saw was a revival to prepare the saints to manifest sons of God in the earth to do the will of the Father. I also believe that this is a revival for the Man-child because in every one of those scenes where David and the brethren were gathered, they were being taught how to minister the Word and heal the sick. And I noticed that everything was on a higher level than what we're used to now. They didn't spend a lot of time and use a lot of words when they prayed; they just commanded it and it was immediately done. And when they gave the Gospel, they didn't have to stand there for hours trying to nail a point down. It was just like the glory of the Lord fell. When these brethren got around people out here on the streets to witness, the glory of the Lord was so strong that they just automatically fell down and cried, “Save me!” This was definitely a sign to us all that God's getting ready to do something wonderful here. I'm just like my brothers and sisters here. I want to be a part of it because I know God's going to do a fantastic work here and it's going to spread worldwide because I saw the lights cover the whole earth. I don't know when this is going to happen, but I know it will. Amen. We are informed by the Lord in many more dreams and scriptures that there is coming a great revival here and across the country and world. It will be in the midst of darkness and turmoil and many will come out of darkness. (Isa.60:1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee. (2) For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. (3) And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (4) Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. (5) Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. We have a part in this. The principalities and powers of darkness have been put under our feet, but we must fight the good fight of the faith and cast them down from over UBM, this area, the U.S, and many other countries. (Luk.10:18) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. (19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. (20) Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Let us have fasting and prayer and praise meetings and confess our sins and cast down these powers. Let us decree freedom from bondage and darkness. I received this: (Job 22:28) Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways. (29) When they cast [thee] down, thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; And the humble person he will save. (30) He will deliver [even] him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.   Prophet Phillip shared this vision with us: (Spearheading the Man-child) I have prayed for three days now for the Holy Father's will in this matter of sharing the vision I received during a meeting with David as the speaker (in Phoenix, a type of resurrection life). (I had never seen Phillip before this.) I am permitted to share the following: As I prayed with David at the start of the meeting, I saw the room change into a stadium filled with people and David was at the podium shouting through a microphone that was in the shape of a shofar. He wore a silver yarmulke that glowed as he spoke, and from above it came a white golden light pouring down from the sky as a beam of glory growing brighter with each outpouring. From David's clothing came the same glory lights pouring through the tzit-tzit on his garment, flowing like fingers through the people. They touched the forehead and were grabbed by the right hand of people who became pregnant (with Christ) and began shouting as they were covered in glory. This is the vision I had at the meeting. The Holy Father says that David would know its meaning, if not now, very soon. (All glory to God, He chooses the weak to show this.  He can speak through a donkey.)   Months after that meeting, we received this from Phillip: Holy Yahweh is forming this ministry into His Image to spearhead the Man-child Ministry Birthing and Delivery to the World! Amen! He has given this to me in a mighty vision that ran and continued for three nights along with some other things that I can't say just yet. In short, brethren, the “white golden light pouring down from the sky as a beam of glory” will flow through obedient servants in whom Christ is manifested through the latter rain and belief in the truth. It will flow first through the man-child and then through the witnesses to the Church at large. (This light is pouring down from the sky upon the giant body of Christ in Tommy Hick's revelation.) Great Restoration and Revival (2) (audio) David Eells – 12/3/25 I would like to encourage you today with some older revelations we have about the latter rain revival we are looking forward to!   Judgment and Then Revival Marie Kelton - 10/09/2016 (David's notes in red) I had this vision at the prayer meeting this morning while we were praying. (One thing we prayed about was God bringing down the evil in our government.) When I closed my eyes, I saw a hurricane storm. I couldn't see anything but two trees and a lot of water and rain being blown against them by strong wind. The sky was a light grayish color. (Missy and I cast lots and asked if the storm was economic and received three heads. Then we asked if the two trees represent Obama and Hillary, and got three heads.) Below are the verses I received. (Since this vision was given, the storm against Obama and Hillary has picked up quite a bit with the Wikileaks emails and many scandals coming forth and the military coming out against what is going on and the UN accusing them of war crimes by supporting ISIS, Al Qaeda, and the like to overthrow governments and murder many, including Christians.) Zec.14:13 And it shall come to pass in that day, that a great tumult from Jehovah shall be among them; and they shall lay hold every one on the hand of his neighbor, and his hand shall rise up against the hand of his neighbor. The Lord will go forth to fight as He fought in the day of battle by turning the enemy against each other in our government and in turning other governments against them. As they have factioned the world governments, they will be factioned. The Trump administration is arresting many DSers and many are turning states evidence to get leniency. The threats against the true people of God will be taken down as Pharaoh at the Red Sea, Sennacherib at Jerusalem, Haman and his against the people of God, the armies against Jehoshaphat and Jerusalem. This will enable the people of God to go into the wilderness singing and rejoicing as they did on the far side of the Red Sea. This is not to say that because of the quakes, tsunamis and volcanoes, there won't be many in FEMA camps or under martial law. God will bring them guidance and deliverance even there. Deb just received this word after I wrote the above note: Jer.44:30 Thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will give Pharaoh Hophra (meaning “a pharaoh” - Obama is often pictured as Pharaoh and is a leader of an attempted coupe, which is not going well.) king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies (spiritual and physical), and into the hand of them that seek his life; as I gave Zedekiah (the apostate leadership of God's people) king of Judah into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon (Obama in another parable), who was his enemy, and sought his life. Act.2:38 And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 For to you is the promise, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call unto him. After the judgment on the wicked (DS) who would have attacked God's people in the first verse, an outpouring will come on the righteous, as in this text, just as it was in Joel chapter 2. The storm will be a judgment on the wicked and a blessing to the righteous, as the hurricane below. Gen.42:21 And they said one to another, We are verily guilty concerning our brother, in that we saw the distress of his soul, when he besought us, and we would not hear; therefore is this distress come upon us. The factious in Church and government are being judged because of what they did to Joseph the Man-child. They will reap the faction they sowed and the elect among them will repent in the revival, and the rest will be reprobated. Heb.10:11 And every priest indeed standeth day by day ministering and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, the which can never take away sins: 12 but he, when he had offered one sacrifice for sins for ever, sat down on the right hand of God; 13 henceforth expecting till his enemies be made the footstool of his feet. The enemies will be judged, but God will forgive those who repent and believe in the sacrifice of Jesus. I asked this about the two trees and got Ezekiel 7:1 and here is the context: Eze.7:1 Moreover the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying, 2 And thou, son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah unto the land of Israel, An end: the end is come upon the four corners of the land. A judgment that will encompass America and the world. This is probably the volcanoes, earthquakes, tsunamis, etc,. 3 Now is the end upon thee, and I will send mine anger upon thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 4 And mine eye shall not spare thee, neither will I have pity; but I will bring thy ways upon thee, and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee: and ye shall know that I am Jehovah. Many will repent and believe in the revival that comes because of the fierce judgment. The days of plenty will give way to tribulation. 5 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: An evil, an only evil; behold, it cometh. 6 An end is come, the end is come; it awaketh against thee; behold, it cometh. 7 Thy doom is come unto thee, O inhabitant of the land: the time is come, the day is near, a day of tumult, and not of joyful shouting, upon the mountains. 8 Now will I shortly pour out my wrath upon thee, and accomplish mine anger against thee, and will judge thee according to thy ways; and I will bring upon thee all thine abominations. 9 And mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity: I will bring upon thee according to thy ways; and thine abominations shall be in the midst of thee; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, do smite. 10 Behold, the day, behold, it cometh: thy doom is gone forth; the rod hath blossomed, pride hath budded. Aaron's rod of the Man-child to have authority over the proud wicked but the fruit of revival will come of it. 11 Violence is risen up into a rod of wickedness; none of them shall remain, nor of their multitude, nor of their wealth: neither shall there be eminency among them. This evil leadership is being taken down. 12 The time is come, the day draweth near: let not the buyer rejoice, nor the seller mourn; for wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. Economic collapse. 13 For the seller shall not return to that which is sold, although they be yet alive (judgment shall overshadow business): for the vision is touching the whole multitude thereof, none shall return; neither shall any strengthen himself in the iniquity of his life. 14 They have blown the trumpet, and have made all ready; but none goeth to the battle (We have already had an undeclared World War between the DS and the Alliance, which is winning. There is nothing the jihadists, including those in the DS, would love more than for East and West to destroy each other, leaving them the undisputed rulers. But if God's people will pray, God will cast it down until the red horse rider of war in Revelation 6:3.); for my wrath is upon all the multitude thereof. And then comes the pale horse rider, sword, death, and famine spoken of in Revelation 6:7. 15 The sword is without, and the pestilence and the famine within: he that is in the field shall die with the sword: and he that is in the city, famine and pestilence shall devour him. 16 But those of them that escape shall escape, and shall be on the mountains like doves of the valleys, all of them moaning, every one in his iniquity. Many will come to repentance when they see the carnage. 17 All hands shall be feeble, and all knees shall be weak as water. 18 They shall also gird themselves with sackcloth, and horror shall cover them; and shame shall be upon all faces, and baldness upon all their heads. Many will come to repentance in these days, much due to the Man-child ministries.   Watch for a Hurricane of Blessings and Abundance! Veronika West - 10/05/2016 (David's notes in red) A word to the righteous! Watch for a hurricane of blessings and abundance! (On the far side of the Red Sea.) Early hours of this morning, I was praying concerning Hurricane Matthew (A sign of things to come), which is now sweeping across the nations. As I cried out to the LORD, immediately I heard the Spirit say, “Daughter, come up higher.” As I pressed into the LORD, suddenly my spirit became illuminated and it was as if I was standing high above the earth, looking down at the hurricane which was moving violently upon the nations. I saw its fierce winds and its rising waters, but then suddenly, in an instant, the picture of devastation and death changed, and I saw the hand of God moving swiftly and mightily upon the earth. (Judgment turning to mercy.) Then I heard Him say, “Daughter, watch! As My hand of blessing and abundance now moves like a mighty hurricane upon my righteous in this hour and season, watch! For it will come suddenly, violently, and with great force. It will cause the plans and purposes of the enemy to be overtaken and overturned. (Judgment will overturn the enemy's plans like Pharaoh at the Red Sea. This could be the Global Currency Reset and the R&R being fulfilled now but this will not last for the world.) “My mighty hurricane of blessing (revival and outpouring) and abundance will be unstoppable, uncontainable, and unprecedented (meaning greater than in all of history). It will cause many in My Kingdom to be suddenly accelerated, activated and advanced (bringing the gospel to the world). It will happen in the twinkling of an eye. “Watch! As My Spirit winds begin to blow upon My people, to remove every encumbrance and every entanglement. (The Spirit will remove all bondage to the old man, like at the Red Sea.) My hurricane of blessing and abundance will create new pathways for the rivers of My glory, goodness, and grace to flow (much more opportunity for the gifts to spread). “The waters of My glory will rise, and the winds of My blessing will blow mightily upon many, causing them to become perfectly aligned and awakened to My Kingdom purposes in the nations”, says God. (Instead of being aligned with the worldly, false kingdoms of men and religion.) After hearing the LORD speak, I felt led to look up the meaning of the name Matthew, which means “gift of Yahweh”. Listen, friends, it is so important that we see with the eyes of the spirit in this hour. Get ready! Be expectant for His mighty hurricane of blessing and abundance that is coming suddenly, violently, and with great force; it will be unstoppable, uncontainable, and unprecedented! I declare: Satan's plans will not prosper. It takes the eyes of faith to see that God is always good and is always working all things for our good! Amen! Quantum faith, saints!   Big Shaking, Intermission, then Crazing? Bill Steenland - 03/01/2015 (David's notes in red) We don't know much for sure here, but we offer it in obedience to the Word in hopes that some other member of the gifted body has a piece of the puzzle. I dreamed David Eells, M.G. and another guy, and I were walking in a big parking garage to find my car. We passed Michael Hare on our left and found my Volvo convertible. (I think this car, which is broken right now, that was working in the dream, speaks of restoration.) Only David and I got in the car. David got into the driver's seat, and I got into the passenger seat. I told David that I really wanted to drive, and I didn't like him driving my vehicle instead of me, but then I just kind of got over it. (Allowing Jesus in the David Man-child ministers “son of David” to take over and rest in their abilities and submit to their control.) We went home to our house. David sat down in a chair, and I was standing next to him, looking down at him. David had a faraway look in his eyes, as if he was thinking about a lot of stuff at once, wondering how everything was going to play out. He was bigger in the dream; he was about 200 pounds and looked very strong. (This speaks of spiritual strength of the Davids.) Then David said to me, “Bill, there is going to be a big shaking soon (or very soon -- can't remember which). Then there is going to be a calm and everything is going to be normal again for a little while. Then it's going to get crazy” (or nuts -- can't remember which). I believe this is speaking of a spiritual shaking to prepare the Man-child and Bride. There was an earthquake at the death and resurrection of Jesus as a type of the Man-child. However, this shaking could be spiritual, as a separation of some from the factious to return, just like there was a prophesied shaking in 2011 with a separation of them from us. This would bring a return to normality for a little while before the physical earthquakes come as a time of craziness. Pam said she saw a crazing pattern at the time of the earthquakes. Wikipedia: 'Crazing' looks like a network of fine cracks on the surface of a material, for example, in a glaze layer. Sandy Shaw, in her dreams of the New Madrid quake, saw cracks running everywhere. We also believe that a soon-coming New Madrid quake down the center of the country, which will cause disruption. A craziness. Here is the Word I got from the Lord on Friday. My finger came down on verse 9 (underlined). Isa.66:7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child. 8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? shall a nation be brought forth at once? for as soon as Zion (the Bride) travailed, she brought forth her children. 9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah: shall I that cause to bring forth shut the womb? saith thy God. The Man-child's coming will be great news to the Bride who has suffered at the hands of the wicked. 10 Rejoice ye with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her: rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her; 11 that ye may suck and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; that ye may milk out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory. 12 For thus saith Jehovah, Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and ye shall suck thereof; ye shall be borne upon the side, and shall be dandled upon the knees. 13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. How awesome we know the truth and the truth will set us free. What a great example a pregnant woman is. The child is coming; it's as sure as a pregnant woman. Wow! It reminds me of John 6, where Peter's response is so encouraging: Joh.6:68 Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life. 69 And we have believed and know that thou art the Holy One of God. Come, Lord Jesus!   He Will Come As the Latter Rain Eve Brast - 09/15/2014 (David's notes in red) Dream #1: I dreamed I was in a storybook setting. I was a girl playing and observing inside this setting. I was happy and carefree. I was running around and playing inside a large white castle. The castle was two stories high with large support pillars and black and white checkered tile on the ground floor and a large grand staircase that led from the central entry area up to the top floor. (Eve here represents the Bride as the wife of the last Adam, Jesus Christ. Compared to the anointing that is coming to her, her ability and power to do the work of God and live in the castle of the King is as a child.) There had been a massive volume of water, a wave of some sort, that had come into the castle from the upper floor windows and had washed through the entire upper floor and then had headed down the grand staircase. (The upper room Christians in Acts received the former rain, as did many, and it did continue on down through history for a ways.  But due to apostasy there was a falling away. Apostate preachers have spoken against the baptism of the Holy Spirit and are guilty of the blood of the saints who would have been greatly strengthened by this anointing.) The wave had all frozen solid by the time it reached the black and white tiled floor at the base of the stairway. It had been frozen in time like this for many, many years. (Father withdrew His anointing, as apostates counted His gift unclean.) Job.37:9 Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm, And cold out of the north. 10 By the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is straitened. ... Job.38:28 Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew? 29 Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? 30 The waters hide themselves and become like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen. (I believe the former rain became mostly frozen in time, so to speak, for the last 2000 years that the Church has fallen away from the true Gospel that they heard from the beginning. Act 2:38  And Peter said unto them, Repent ye, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ unto the remission of your sins; and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.  (As to the black and white lower floor: The overwhelming majority of lower-level, sometimes white and sometimes black, lukewarm Christianity, have never received the great wave of the former rain. Even for those who have received a portion of the former rain, it seems the anointing is small. As I have said so often, “If we do what they did, we will get what they got and if we get what they got, we will do what they did”.) Hos.5:15 I will go and return to my place, till they acknowledge their offence, and seek my face: in their affliction they will seek me earnestly. 6:1 Come, and let us return unto Jehovah; for he hath torn, and he will heal us; he hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 2 After two days will he revive us: on the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live before him. We are now at the third thousand-year day since the coming of Christ. 3 And let us know, let us follow on to know Jehovah: his going forth is sure as the morning; and he will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. Notice the King is coming as the latter rain and His power and holiness will be manifested. Returning to the Lord is not black and white; it is white with the Holy Spirit. WooHoo! - Come, Lord Jesus!) As a little girl in this dream, I was sliding down the frozen waves on the grand staircase and then climbing back up to the top floor to do it again. (With child-like faith, we can rise above the curse, being carefree and enjoying His abundant life as we rest in Christ.) Mar.10:15 Verily I say unto you, Whosoever shall not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, he shall in no wise enter therein. (As a child, the Bride sometimes fluctuates between the top floor and the black and white floor below, but that is temporary for them, for they will receive of the Spirit refreshing and rest of the Holy Spirit which has been frozen in time for many. Isa.28:11 Nay, but by [men of] strange lips and with another tongue will he speak to this people; 12 to whom he said, This is the rest, give ye rest to him that is weary; and this is the refreshing: yet they would not hear. As we can see, many have not heard, and some will not hear this great news.) Suddenly, the water waves began to melt as I observed a regal prince dressed in royal robes come riding into the storybook setting on his white horse. (Notice: “he will come unto us as the rain”. This thawing wave will be released on the lower floor so that they may also live the Kingdom life with power. Act.1:8 But ye shall receive power, when the Holy Spirit is come upon you: and ye shall be my witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth.) (The regal “King” Jesus will return manifested in the Prince, the first fruits Man-child ministry. [He comes as the white horse rider of the first seal of Revelation to melt the long-frozen water of the former and the latter rain of the Holy Spirit. Jesus is the King of kings, but this is the Prince, the son of the King in whom His life's blood flows.]) He rode up over the melting ice wave and up the grand staircase toward the right side of the upper floor, where a lady dressed in royal gowns was standing with her hands clasped together, waiting for him. (Notice the Bride has grown up and is living on the top floor now.) He then dismounted his horse and took her hand in his and kissed it and told her to come with him; it was time for their marriage. Rev.6:2 And I saw, and behold, a white horse, and he that sat thereon had a bow; and there was given unto him a crown: and he came forth conquering, and to conquer. Isa.61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, and my soul shall be joyful in my God: for he hath clothed me with the garments of salvation: and with the robe of justice he hath covered me, as a bridegroom decked with a crown, and as a bride adorned with her jewels. Rev.21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven of God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. Then I woke up. When I fell back to sleep, I was given dream #2 as a continuation of the first dream above, with the addition that the false accusers are silenced. I turned and walked toward my right out of the upper room of the castle. At this point, I was a woman, and I walked out onto a freshly laid parking lot, which seemed to be an extension of the upper floor of the castle. (Maturity and rest lives on the top floor.) I saw a very large, white, hand-sewn quilt, larger than king-size, spread out on the parking lot. (A spread is for rest and a parking lot is a place where mobile vessels, which we are, are at rest.) Pro.31:22 She maketh for herself carpets of tapestry; Her clothing is fine linen and purple. (One translation says “quilts”.) King Solomon was sitting on it, dressed in his finest royal robes. There were luxurious pillows all around him on the quilt for reclining. I went and sat down next to him, at his right hand. Psa.45:9 Kings daughters are among thy honorable women: At thy right hand doth stand the queen in gold of Ophir. My son Elijah was a grown man and was a defense lawyer in King Solomon's court. He was dressed in a white dress shirt and suit pants with highly polished dress shoes and was standing in front of the king. (Elijah, the Man-child born of the Bride, was being here in Greek a Parakletos, translated “comforter” or “advocate,” meaning a defense lawyer who pleads our case before the judge. Jesus and Moses, as Man-children, also did this. Moses quite successfully pleaded Israel's case a few times. Jesus was saying He was a defense lawyer when He told the disciples He would go, but the Father would send “another Comforter” or Parakletos. So Jesus was a defence lawyer. Joh.14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter (Parakletos), that he may be with you for ever... 1Jn.2:1 My little children, these things write I unto you that ye may not sin. And if any man sin, we have an Advocate (Parakletos) with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous. So Jesus, as Man-child, was a defense lawyer for the Bride when He was with the disciples and afterward when He was glorified.) In front of me, there was a female Australian Shepherd dog pacing back and forth with hatred in her eyes. It had long white fur with big black spots all over it. (We are told to “hate the garment spotted by the flesh” or sin. Aussies have also been called “pastor dogs”. They are not as tall [mature] as many shepherds. They are very competitive and territorial. Why is the pastor dog shown as female? Because they should be receiving the seed and bearing the fruit instead of their lust to sow, which they are not equipped to do.) This dog could talk and it was constantly accusing me to the king of things that were not true about me. (This represents the hatred and lies of the factious leaders. Satan is the accuser of the brethren and these dogs work for him.) Elijah said to the king, “This dog makes false accusations against my mother, O King!” (The Man-child intercedes for the Bride before the Judge.) The king did nothing at first (testing and crucifying the Bride), as we all suffered this lying dog to pace back and forth in front of me, speaking lie after lie against me. (Isa 56:11  Yea, the dogs are greedy, they can never have enough; and these are shepherds that cannot understand: they have all turned to their own way, each one to his gain, from every quarter.  Psa.31:20 In the covert of thy presence wilt thou hide them from the plottings of man: Thou wilt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues. (At this time, the faction that crucified the Bride and Man-child and separated those who are not part of these bodies. The dogs are no longer needed because of the maturity and rest they have entered into through this crucifixion.) After a little while, the king nodded at me (giving His authority to the Bride over the accusers) and I got up from the quilt and went over to the dog and picked it up, subduing it under my left arm. I then grabbed its snout with my right hand and shut its mouth. (The righteous have the authority to bind and loose with the King's nod of approval.) It could no longer accuse me after this. It was temporarily able to break its mouth loose from my grip once, trying to open its mouth to bite my thumb, but the power of God kept its mouth shut supernaturally, and it was powerless to do me any harm. (Charlie had a revelation that the Lord was telling him that everything is about to change and that He was able to save us and scatter the enemy.) Psa.63:11 But the king shall rejoice in God: Every one that sweareth by him shall glory; For the mouth of them that speak lies shall be stopped. Then I woke up. The testing is almost over, and the murmurers are dying in the wilderness, disqualified to live in the Promised Land.   Last Days World Revival  Debra Klein - 07/30/2014 (David's notes in red) In a dream, I woke up in the Middle East among sandy dunes. All I could see in all of the atmosphere from heaven to earth and 360 degrees around me was the Aurora Borealis. It was shockingly beautiful. (I believe this represented the glory of God.) (Certainly, the many colors are attributes of the light which God is.) I turned to see a crowd of people from all over the world. They were somewhat scared and didn't know what was happening. I turned to the right and saw a pitched tent, and in front of it was a simple wooden podium. With my Bible, I went to the podium and turned to Matthew 24 (judgments of the end times, which will help bring revivals). I began to tell the people that this is what the Lord said would happen. I began to preach the Gospel to them. The words came out of my mouth as a roar that shook the earth. (I believe that Debra here spiritually represents the Bride, as she has in other dreams. (In the natural women aren't allowed to teach men.1Tim.2:12) As in the Gospels, these will be sent forth by the Man-child ministry to preach. Among them were the disciples of Jesus, the 12 and the 70 and multitudes of other discipled by them as a type for our time.) In the crowd closest to me was a man who was dressed as an Arab prince. Upon hearing what was said, he threw back his head, exclaiming loudly with joy, “Jesus is alive!” The people began to rejoice. They were being saved. There was joy among them. I woke up sweating. The Lord said to me, “This is the last days world revival”. (Since the observers were people from all nations, I suggest that a great move of revival will spread from the Middle East to the world. I believe the Jeremiah 25 wars will bring many Muslim people to misery to call out to God, Who will answer them and reveal Himself to them. Revival will spread from the people who have hated and killed Christians, kind of like it did with Paul.)   The School of Revival Anonymous - 1/13/22 (David's notes in red) I had a dream that I went to the elementary school that I went to as a child, and all the people I went to school with were still there. They were all gathered together. I went up to them all and just started sharing my testimonies of Christ, and I was speaking the Word and Truth in Spirit. I felt such a strong amplified love and energy for Christ in spirit. It was like 100x amplified beyond anything I have felt when awake. Just a strong desire for Christ and strong exercise of speaking Truth and the Word with nothing hindering me. I didn't have to struggle with carnal worries of offending anyone or being embarrassed. Nothing was hindering me or fighting me from proclaiming Jesus. And it was all out of holy love and not out of obligation, and I felt love for everyone, even those who had hurt me so much or hated me in the past. I had such strong pure love for all of them, not in a carnal way but spiritually. It was a real witness as they knew how evil I was as a child, more than most. But they now saw Jesus had transformed my life, they could see the Light of Christ, and so many of them repented and turned to Christ in spirit and truth. A big revival throughout the school broke out, starting with repentance. I walked around to different areas talking about Jesus to everyone. Many others repented and were awakened to the truth and began telling others. The fire of God spread so quickly throughout the school, and most came to repentance and love for Jesus, and a few that didn't repent were surrounded by those who did, and either they started desiring Christ, or they had to run away from the school and not come back. To stay in the school, they would have to be in Christ. The Spirit was contagious, and it was so beautiful seeing true repentance in spirit and truth and love for Christ came so quickly. I went into a classroom and there were students sitting down, and a woman teacher was teaching. I went over to the teacher and said that what they are doing is meaningless and a waste of time. (Meaning time is run out. Its now time to know of the Word.)  I then turned to the class and started singing Be Thou My Vision, praising God, and all the students started singing also. After the song, I prayed in front of everyone, and I asked God in faith that every person who has ever been to this school in all of time would all have the gift of repentance and faith before leaving earth, and that they will all be in the Kingdom for eternity. I then heard that I will remember this moment asking God for this because it will and has been answered. Then I woke up.   A Sudden Move of God Debbie Fenske - 1/16/23 (David's notes in red) During our morning Zoom meeting, the Lord allowed me to see in the Spirit those whom we would call the lowliest of people, and those addicted to every kind of sin. I could see the Spirit of the Lord suddenly coming upon them, moving in their spirits. I could discern their intense desire for God. These were dry, needy, and homeless people on the streets. (These represent spiritually homeless people.) I could see them dropping to their knees and raising their hands to heaven with a sudden, but awesome desire for Jesus, to truly want to know Him. Then I heard Him say: “I am doing this. I am doing the work. But even My people, who know My truths and are walking in My ways, will see and wonder if such persons could be touched in such a way. But I say to you, ‘What a remnant I am bringing forth!' So, I warn you, I warn My people to be prepared. Be ready to receive My gift to minister to those whom I will allow you to run into as you go about your business of the day. And I say, do not let their appearance stop you from being moved by My Spirit, to minister by My Spirit as I bring you face-to-face with them. Be alert and do the work of God. Even those affluent ones who have sat before Bible teachers hearing My Word preached, and receiving it with joy, and walking in My ways to the best of their knowledge, now will suddenly receive revelation from My Spirit that they are yet so empty, and needy of the deeper truths of My Word. They are going to suddenly desire more of Me, and they will seek Me with all their hearts, praying with earnest out of a sudden yearning desire which I will suddenly impart to them. (In revivals in the past, sinners and self-righteous people suddenly, for no apparent reason, have been overcome with grief for their sins and cried out to God.) And many will find you and will truly find Me through the ministry and revelation truths you have received in Me through My Word and are so freely giving out. Be ready, My People. For I will suddenly do a quick work. Have you not heard? The harvest is read

Great Restoration and Revival (audio) David Eells 10/8/25 Tommy Hicks – 7/25/1961 (David's notes in red) (This is a powerful vision given to American preacher Tommy Hicks, who was a major figure in the 1954 Argentina Revival.) A vision of the Body of Christ in the End-time ministries. (My message begins July 25, about 2:30 in the morning at Winnipeg, Canada. I had hardly fallen asleep when the vision and the revelation that God gave me came before me. The vision came three times, exactly in detail, the morning of July 25, 1961. I was so stirred and so moved by the revelation that this has changed my complete outlook upon the body of Christ, and upon the end-time ministries. The greatest thing that the church of Jesus Christ has ever been given lies straight ahead. It is so hard to help men and women to realize and understand the thing that God is trying to give his people in the end times. I received a letter several weeks ago from one of our native evangelists down in Africa, down in Nairobi. This man and his wife were on their way to Tanganyika. They could neither read nor could they write, but we had been supporting them for over two years. As they entered into the territory of Tanganyika, they came across a small village. The entire village was evacuating because of a plague that had hit the village. He came across natives who were weeping, and he asked them what was wrong. They told him of their mother and father who had suddenly died, and they had been dead for three days. They had to leave. They were afraid to go in; they were leaving them in the cottage. He turned and asked them where they were. They pointed to the hut and he asked them to go with him, but they refused. They were afraid to go. The native and his wife went to this little cottage and entered where the man and woman had been dead for three days. He simply stretched forth his hand in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and spoke the man's name and the woman's name and said, “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to come back to your bodies.” Instantaneously, these two heathen people who had never known Jesus Christ as their Savior sat up and immediately began to praise God. The spirit and the power of God came into the life of those people. To us that may seem strange and a phenomenon, but that is the beginning of these end-time ministries.  (I talked to a sister 3-6-25 whose husband had been dead for 81/2 months when I called him back in the name of Jesus and by the grace of God he came to her in her kitchen. In another case a husband, wife and children had been killed by Satanists as witnessed by Eve and my angel and I called them back and all immediately returned by God's grace. God can use a donkey. Back to Tommy's message.) God is going to take the do-nothings, the nobodies, the unheard-of, the no-accounts. He is going to take every man and every woman and he is going to give them this outpouring of the Spirit of God. In the Book of Acts, we read that “In the last days,” God said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I wonder if we realized what God meant when He said, “I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh.” I do not think I fully realized nor could I understand the fullness of it, and then I read from the Book of Joel: “Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain…” (Joel 2:23). …He is going to give to his people in these last days a double portion of the power of God!) As the vision appeared to me after I was asleep, I suddenly found myself in a great high distance. Where I was, I do not know. But I was looking down upon the earth. Suddenly the whole earth came into my view. Every nation, every kindred, every tongue came before my sight from the east and the west, the north and the south. I recognized every country and many cities that I had been in, and I was almost in fear and trembling as I beheld the great sight before me: and at that moment when the world came into view, it began to lightning and thunder. As the lightning flashed over the face of the earth, my eyes went downward and I was facing the north. Suddenly I beheld what looked like a great giant, and as I stared and looked at it, I was almost bewildered by the sight. It was so gigantic and so great. His feet seemed to reach to the north pole and his head to the south. Its arms were stretched from sea to sea. (Meaning: A great corporate body of saints.) I could not even begin to understand whether this was a mountain or a giant, but as I watched, I suddenly beheld a great giant. I could see his head was struggling for life. He wanted to live, but his body was covered with debris from head to foot (Sin and false doctrines), and at times this great giant would move his body and act as though it would even raise up at times. And when it did, thousands of little creatures seemed to run away. (Demons) Hideous creatures would run away from this giant, and when he would become calm, they would come back. All of a sudden this great giant lifted his hand towards heaven, and then it lifted its other hand (Praising the Lord!), and when it did, these creatures by the thousands seemed to flee away from this giant and go into the darkness of the night. Slowly this great giant began to rise and as he did, his head and hands went into the clouds. As he rose to his feet he seemed to have cleansed himself from the debris and filth that was upon him, and he began to raise his hands into the heavens as though praising the Lord, and as he raised his hands, they went even unto the clouds. Suddenly, every cloud became silver, the most beautiful silver (purified through heavenly fire) I have ever known. As I watched this phenomenon, it was so great, I could not even begin to understand what it all meant. I was so stirred as I watched it, and I cried unto the Lord and I said, “Oh Lord, what is the meaning of this?” and I felt as if I was actually in the Spirit and I could feel the presence of the Lord even as I was asleep. And from those clouds suddenly there came great drops of liquid light raining down upon this mighty giant (light is truth), and slowly, slowly, this giant began to melt, began to sink itself in the very earth itself, and as he melted (bearing their cross), his whole form seemed to have melted upon the face of the earth, and this great rain began to come down. Liquid drops of light began to flood the very earth itself, and as I watched this giant that seemed to melt, suddenly it became millions of people over the face of the earth. As I beheld the sight before me, people stood up all over the world! They were lifting their hands and they were praising the Lord. At that very moment, there came a great thunder that seemed to roar from the heavens. I turned my eyes toward the heavens and suddenly I saw a figure in white, in glistening white; the most glorious thing that I have ever seen in my entire life. I did not see the face, but somehow I knew it was the Lord Jesus Christ, and he stretched forth his hand, and as he did, he would stretch it forth to one, and to another, and to another. And as he stretched forth his hand upon the nations and the people of the world, men and women, as he pointed toward them, this liquid light seemed to flow from his hands into them, and a mighty anointing of God came upon them (The latter rain), and those people began to go forth in the name of the Lord. I do not know how long I watched it. It seemed it went into days and weeks and months. And I beheld this Christ as he continued to stretch forth his hand, but there was a tragedy. There were many people, as he stretched forth his hand, who refused the anointing of God and the call of God. I saw men and women that I knew. People that I felt would certainly receive the call of God. But as he stretched forth his hand toward this one and toward that one, they simply bowed their head and began to back away. And each of those that seemed to bow down and back away seemed to go into darkness. Blackness seemed to swallow them everywhere. (Faction and falling away) I was bewildered as I watched it, but these people that he had anointed, hundreds of thousands of people all over the world, in Africa, England, Russia, China, America, all over the world, the anointing of God was upon these people as they went forward in the name of the Lord. I saw these men and women as they went forth. They were ditch diggers, they were washerwomen, they were rich men, they were poor men. I saw people who were bound with paralysis and sickness and blindness and deafness. As the Lord stretched forth to give them this anointing, they became well, they became healed, and they went forth exactly as the Lord did. And this is the miracle of it - this is the glorious miracle of it. It seemed as if there was this same liquid fire in their hands - those people would stretch forth their hands and say, “According to my word, be thou made whole.” These people continued in this mighty end-time ministry. I did not fully realize what it was, and I looked to the Lord and said, “What is the meaning of this?” And he said, “This is that which I will do in the last days. I will restore all that the cankerworm, the palmerworm, the caterpillar - I will restore all that they have destroyed. This, my people, in the end times will go forth. As a mighty army shall they sweep over the face of the earth.” As I was at this great height, I could behold the whole world. I watched these people as they were going to and fro over the face of the earth. Suddenly there was a man in Africa and in a moment he was transported by the Spirit of God, and perhaps he was in Russia, or China or America or some other place, and vice versa. All over the world these people went, and they came through fire, and through pestilence, and through famine. Neither fire nor persecution, nothing seemed to stop them. Angry mobs came to them with swords and with guns. And like Jesus, they passed through the multitudes and they could not find them, but they went forth in the name of the Lord, and everywhere they stretched forth their hands, the sick were healed, the blind eyes were opened. There was not a long prayer. And after I had reviewed the vision many times in my mind, and I thought about it many times, I realized that I never saw a church, and I never saw or heard a denomination, but these people were going in the name of the Lord of Hosts. Hallelujah! As they marched forth in everything they did, as the ministry of Christ in the end times, these people were ministering to the multitudes over the face of the earth. Tens of thousands, even millions, seemed to come to the Lord Jesus Christ as these people stood forth and gave the message of the kingdom, of the coming kingdom, in this last hour. It was so glorious, but it seems as though there were those who rebelled, and they would become angry and they tried to attack those workers who were giving the message. (As in Jesus' day so it is in ours) God is going to give the world a demonstration in this last hour that the world has never known. These men and women are of all walks of life; degrees will mean nothing. I saw these workers as they were going over the face of the earth. When one would stumble and fall, another would come and pick him up. There were no “big I's” and “little you's,” but every mountain was brought low and every valley was exalted, and they seemed to have one thing in common - there was a divine love, a divine love that seemed to flow forth from these people as they worked together, and as they lived together. It was the most glorious sight that I have ever known. Jesus Christ was the theme of their life. They continued and it seemed days went by as I stood and beheld this sight. I could only cry, and sometimes I laughed. It was so wonderful as these people went throughout the face of the whole earth, bringing forth in this last end time. As I watched from the very heaven itself, there were times when great deluges of this liquid light seemed to fall upon great congregations, and they would lift up their hands and seemingly praise God for hours and even days as the Spirit of God came upon them. God said, “I will pour my Spirit upon all flesh,” and that is exactly this thing. And to every man and woman that received this power and anointing of God, the miracles were without end. (We have talked about miracles. We have talked about signs and wonders, but I could not help but weep as I read again this morning, at 4 o'clock the letter from our native workers. This is only the evidence of the beginning for one man, a “do-nothing, an unheard-of,” who would go and stretch forth his hand and say, “In the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, I command life to flow into your body.” I dropped to my knees and began to pray again, and I said, “Lord, I know that this time is coming soon!”) And then again, as these people were going about the face of the earth, a great persecution seemed to come from every angle. Suddenly, there was another great clap of thunder that seemed to resound around the world, and I heard again the voice that seemed to speak, “Now this is my people. This is my beloved bride.” (In Revelation, we see the Bride in her “lampros,” liquid light garment who has been doing miracles all over the world. Rev.19:7 Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready. 8 And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright (Lampros) and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints. John the Baptist saw Jesus' first fruits disciples and called them the Bride for he said, “He that hath the Bride is the Bridegroom.” This Bride went forth to do miracles in the gospels and in Acts and to pass this anointing on to the rest of the church. Then in Revelation we see the rest of the church in a white or “leukos” garment who are invited to the marriage. Rev.19:14 And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white (Leukos) and pure. And below we will see in Tommy's revelation the dead in Christ rising to be joined with them at the end of the seven-year tribulation.) And when the voice spoke, I looked upon the earth and I could see the lakes and the mountains. The graves were opened, and people from all over the world, the saints of all ages, seemed to be rising. (The dead in Christ will rise first.) And as they rose from the grave, suddenly all these people came from every direction. From the East and the West, from the North and the South, and they seemed to be forming again this gigantic body. As the dead in Christ seemed to be rising first I could hardly comprehend it. It was so marvelous. It was so far beyond anything I could ever dream or think of. But as this body suddenly began to form and take shape again, it was in the form of this mighty giant, but this time it was different. It was arrayed in the most beautiful, gorgeous white. (In Rev.19:14 this is the white or “leukos” garments of the church.) Its garments were without spot or wrinkle as its body began to form, and the people of all ages seemed to be gathered into this body, and slowly, slowly, as it began to form up into the very heavens, suddenly from the heavens above, the Lord Jesus came, and became the head.  (Now, Jesus is the head of the Bride, John said was Jerusalem, just as David, as a type of the Man-child reformers, was head of the Bride, Jerusalem. In this way Jesus and David were also the head of the rest of the Body of Israel; a type of the Church. We see this same relationship of Esther as the Bride head of the body of Israel and the Shulammite in Song of Solomon as the Bride head of Israel.) I heard another clap of thunder that said, “This is my beloved bride for whom I have waited. She will come forth even tried by fire. This is she that I have loved from the beginning of time.” As I watched, my eyes suddenly turned to the far north, and I saw destruction of men and women in anguish and crying out, and buildings in destruction. Then I heard again, the fourth voice that said, “Now is My wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth.” (The Day of the Lord's wrath upon those who persecuted God's people.) From the ends of the whole world, the wrath of God seemed to be poured out and it seemed that there were great vials of God's wrath being poured out upon the face of the earth. (The seals and trumps of the tribulation were followed by the vials of wrath in the day of the Lord. There are seven years before the Bride and Church are caught up followed by the year of wrath on the wicked who persecuted them. Isa.34:8 For Jehovah hath a day of vengeance, a year of recompense for the cause of Zion.) I can remember it as though it happened a moment ago. I shook and trembled as I beheld the awful sight of seeing the cities and whole nations going down into destruction. I could hear the weeping and wailing. I could hear people crying. They seemed to cry as they went into caves, but the caves in the mountains opened up. They leaped into the water, but the water would not drown them. There was nothing that could destroy them. They were wanting to take their lives, but they could not. Then again I turned my eyes to this glorious sight, this body arrayed in beautiful white, shining garments. Slowly, slowly, it began to lift from the earth, and as it did, I awoke. (This is the catching up of the lampros Bride and white Church body at the end of the tribulation before the Great and Terrible Day of the Lord.) What a sight I had beheld! I had seen the end-time ministries - the last hour. Again, on July 27, at 2:30 in the morning, the same revelation, the same vision came again exactly as it did before. My life has been changed as I realized that we are living in that end time, for all over the world God is anointing men and women with this ministry. It will not be doctrine. It will not be a churchianity. It is going to be Jesus Christ. They will give forth the word of the Lord. I heard it said so many times in the vision, “And according to my word it shall be done.”   Joel's Restoration Begins Sandy Shaw - 3/30/12 (David's notes in red) In this dream we were in a place that looked like Tahlequah, Oklahoma but it was bigger and prettier. It was really beautiful. (In Cherokee, Tahlequah means, “just two or two is enough”. Just as Jesus sent out the disciples and the 70 two by two, so it will be in our day when Jesus in the Man-child ministers will send out the two witnesses in the Great Revival.) There were a lot of people from UBM there, not just local but from all over. The people there were like-minded. There were many ages, from babies all the way up to old men. There was singing, praying, eating, and all kinds of fellowship and the kids were playing. It was like in a big meadow with a lot of shade trees. There was just ‘a oneness' there; it was peaceful and really beautiful. The sun felt so good. Then it started to rain while the sun was still shining, and the rain lasted only a few seconds before it began to pour down like a waterfall. It was just a steady, flowing stream of water hitting everyone there, from the babies to the oldest. (A renewal of the former rain upon the saints and then the beginning of the latter rain upon the David reformer ministries before it's given to the saints, just as Joel spoke of and the Gospels show in type: (Joe.2:22) Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field; for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth its fruit, the fig-tree and the vine do yield their strength. (23) Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in Jehovah your God; for he giveth you the former rain in just measure, and he causeth to come down for you the rain, the former rain and the latter rain, in the first [month]. (Note: Hos.6:3… he (the Lord) will come unto us as the rain, as the latter rain that watereth the earth. The Lord will come as the anointing of the Holy Spirit not in the air or in a rapture of the Church!!) Back to Joel (24) And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the vats shall overflow with new wine and oil. (25) And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the canker-worm, and the caterpillar, and the palmer-worm (representing the curse on God's people), my great army which I sent among you. (26) And ye shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and shall praise the name of Jehovah your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you; and my people shall never be put to shame. (27) And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am Jehovah your God, and there is none else; and my people shall never be put to shame. (28) And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions: (29) and also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my Spirit. Everyone was feeling this water and it was filling us up. It was freshness and newness and it didn't feel like any other kind of anointing one has ever felt before. We knew that we knew, it was there to stay. Everyone had their faces up to the water, to the anointing, feeling the water. (I am not doing it justice in explaining how it felt; how it was filling us up and how we all felt; even to say, “Walking on a cloud” is not the right words but I don't know any other words.) I saw people walking on stones and stickers in the ground, and we were barefoot, and it didn't hurt us, like we didn't feel it. (Representing walking above the curses of this world with no hurt.) We knew that we knew, our entire body was anointed of God. We knew what we were doing was ordained of God and we were just doing it. There were no questions. (I just can't explain the oneness or the way our hands felt; like they were not our hands, but the Lord's hands. …Each step was ordained of the Lord. We knew that nothing could take away what God had given to us. We were being completely used by Him. It was like walking or moving on clouds.) ... When everyone was filled, ... that's when we heard God tell us, “Ok, get busy; we're going to work now”. (The beginning of the spread of the revival.)   Revival Beginning at UBM Charlie Smith - 12/12/12 (David's notes in red) Notice the date of this dream: 12/12/12, the fullness of the elect. In the early hours of the morning, the Lord gave me this dream. In it, suddenly, I appeared in a large room where I saw brother David (representing the David Man-child reformers) and about 10 or 12 brethren standing around. (I asked the Lord if this was 12 and got a yes, which fits with Jesus and his 12 when revival began then.) I knew David, but his features had changed some. I mean, he really looked great. I could really see God in the man like I never had before. (David, here is a type of the Man-child reformers who will start this revival, just as Jesus, the Son of David, did in His time. The things that have been are the things that will be.) And I knew him, but the other brethren I did not recognize, although I really did know who they were. As I stood looking, a man came over to me and He was the Lord! The brethren were being taught how to minister to the needs of the people. Brother David walked across the room to pray for a man who came for healing. He stood before the man and said, “Be healed,” and the man was healed instantly. David turned and walked back to the other side of the room. (God's power is made perfect in man's weakness, so that no flesh can glory.) The brethren, as well as I, were amazed that the man was healed, and we started praising God and giving thanks. As we rejoiced, another man came forward for healing who was blind. One of the brethren came forth and laid hands on the man's head, saying, “Receive your sight”. And the man cried out, “I'm healed and I can see!” Other people in the room who were in need came forth immediately, some with missing or deformed limbs, twisted bodies, crippled, all such of humanity that was so pitiful; they came up and every one of them was healed instantly. I said, “Oh, God, how is it that everyone was healed instantly, so fast, so easily? Some had hands laid on them and others did not, but they were all healed”. The Lord smiled and said, “You could not see”. Then the Lord opened my spiritual eyes and said, “Now look”. And He showed me again the part where David said to the man, “Be healed”. This time I could see the words “Be healed” coming out of David's mouth, like a mist, and entering into the man. And as the word went into the man, he was instantly healed. I received a few scriptures that go with this dream: (Isa.55:11) So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth. It shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please; and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. (Jer.1:12) I watch over my word to perform it. (Eze.12:25) For I am Jehovah and I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall be performed. (Rom.10:8) The word is nigh thee, in thy mouth and in thy heart. And I was still wondering about the mist that I saw, and I got (Joh.6:63) The words that I have spoken to you are spirit and they are life. So I understood that, like Jesus spoke the Word, and it came to pass, so these brethren operated on that level. The scene changed and we were in a different, larger room. David and about 100 or more other brethren were gathered together. The brethren were being taught how to minister and were then sent forth. They went forth preaching the Word and healing the sick everywhere. The brethren covered much of this area and you couldn't go anywhere without seeing them. (Many Man-child ministers are coming here and they will send forth disciples as Jesus did.) And then the scene quickly changed again, and we were at another place outside. It was a large, grassy area with parking nearby, but I don't know where it was. Brother David and maybe as many as 500 brethren were gathered together and crowds of people were coming from everywhere. It looked like thousands or even hundreds of thousands were coming. The meetings ran day and night. One night, all the people saw a pillar of fire burning in our midst. They were being drawn by the Lord, and it was a holy move of God. So many saints were now coming together. Again, the scene quickly changed and I was lifted up, looking down on the earth, and I saw the saints running through all the earth, spreading the gospel and the light was shining all over the earth. I think what I saw was a revival to prepare the saints to manifest sons of God in the earth to do the will of the Father. I also believe that this is a revival for the Man-child because in every one of those scenes where David and the brethren were gathered, they were being taught how to minister the Word and heal the sick. And I noticed that everything was on a higher level than what we're used to now. They didn't spend a lot of time and use a lot of words when they prayed; they just commanded it and it was immediately done. And when they gave the Gospel, they didn't have to stand there for hours trying to nail a point down. It was just like the glory of the Lord fell. When these brethren got around people out here on the streets to witness, the glory of the Lord was so strong that they just automatically fell down and cried, “Save me!” This was definitely a sign to us all that God's getting ready to do something wonderful here. I'm just like my brothers and sisters here. I want to be a part of it because I know God's going to do a fantastic work here and it's going to spread worldwide because I saw the lights cover the whole earth. I don't know when this is going to happen, but I know it will. Amen. We are informed by the Lord in many more dreams and scriptures that there is coming a great revival here and across the country and world. It will be in the midst of darkness and turmoil and many will come out of darkness. (Isa.60:1) Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee. (2) For, behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. (3) And nations shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising. (4) Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: they all gather themselves together, they come to thee; thy sons shall come from far, and thy daughters shall be carried in the arms. (5) Then thou shalt see and be radiant, and thy heart shall thrill and be enlarged; because the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee. We have a part in this. The principalities and powers of darkness have been put under our feet, but we must fight the good fight of the faith and cast them down from over UBM, this area, the U.S, and many other countries. (Luk.10:18) And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven. (19) Behold, I have given you authority to tread upon serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall in any wise hurt you. (20) Nevertheless in this rejoice not, that the spirits are subject unto you; but rejoice that your names are written in heaven. Let us have fasting and prayer and praise meetings and confess our sins and cast down these powers. Let us decree freedom from bondage and darkness. I received this: (Job 22:28) Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways. (29) When they cast [thee] down, thou shalt say, [There is] lifting up; And the humble person he will save. (30) He will deliver [even] him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.   Prophet Phillip shared this vision with us: (Spearheading the Man-child) I have prayed for three days now for the Holy Father's will in this matter of sharing the vision I received during a meeting with David as the speaker (in Phoenix, a type of resurrection life). (I had never seen Phillip before this.) I am permitted to share the following: As I prayed with David at the start of the meeting, I saw the room change into a stadium filled with people and David was at the podium shouting through a microphone that was in the shape of a shofar. He wore a silver yarmulke that glowed as he spoke, and from above it came a white golden light pouring down from the sky as a beam of glory growing brighter with each outpouring. From David's clothing came the same glory lights pouring through the tzit-tzit on his garment, flowing like fingers through the people. They touched the forehead and were grabbed by the right hand of people who became pregnant (with Christ) and began shouting as they were covered in glory. This is the vision I had at the meeting. The Holy Father says that David would know its meaning, if not now, very soon. (All glory to God, He chooses the weak to show this.  He can speak through a donkey.)   Months after that meeting, we received this from Phillip: Holy Yahweh is forming this ministry into His Image to spearhead the Man-child Ministry Birthing and Delivery to the World! Amen! He has given this to me in a mighty vision that ran and continued for three nights along with some other things that I can't say just yet. In short, brethren, the “white golden light pouring down from the sky as a beam of glory” will flow through obedient servants in whom Christ is manifested through the latter rain and belief in the truth. It will flow first through the man-child and then through the witnesses to the Church at large. (This light is pouring down from the sky upon the giant body of Christ in Tommy Hick's revelation.)

As summer wanes and the nights grow long, we turn to tales of witches, curses, and the old ways that never truly died. For centuries, harvest time has carried its own magic: charms for fields, blessings for homes, and darker stories of those who bent nature to their will.In January 1962, uncontrollable laughter seized a girls' boarding school in Kashasha, Tanganyika, then leapt from classroom to village to village. Over 18 months, waves of giggling fits, tears, fainting, and fatigue shut down 14 schools and afflicted about 1,000 people across a 100-mile region.The BOOKBY US A COFFEEJoin Sarah's new FACEBOOK GROUPSubscribe to our PATREONEMAIL us your storiesFollow us on YOUTUBEJoin us on INSTAGRAMJoin us on TWITTERJoin us on FACEBOOKVisit our WEBSITEResearch:https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/09/un-moves-malawi-staff-vampire-scarehttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/oct/19/malawi-mobs-kill-two-more-people-accused-of-being-vampireshttps://africanarguments.org/2017/11/a-symbolic-representation-of-life-behind-malawis-blood-sucking-beliefs/https://www.equaltimes.org/when-rumours-of-blood-suckers-andhttps://www.voanews.com/a/malawi-president-crack-down-vampires-witchcraft-after-lynchings/4069571.htmlhttps://www.vice.com/en/article/how-colonialism-fueled-deadly-anti-vampire-hysteria-in-malawiThanks so much for listening, and we'll catch up with you again tomorrow!Sarah and Tobie xx"Spacial Winds" Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com)Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 Licensehttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/SURVEY Hosted on Acast.

Laughter is contagious. In 1962, a small village near the border of Uganda became the prime example for just how wildly contagious laughter could be. There are still a lot of questions surrounding this particular incident that need to be answered but the most important one is really the simplest: What caused the Tanganyika Laughter Epidemic of 1962?

La République Démocratique du Congo possède l'un des plus grands gisements de lithium dans le monde. Le lithium, c'est un minerai très recherché aujourd'hui car il sert à faire des piles rechargeables pour les appareils électroniques. D'ailleurs, cela semble être l'un des gisements qui pourrait intéresser l'administration Trump dans la perspective du fameux deal minier entre la RDC et les Etats-Unis. Son exploitation pourrait placer la province du Tanganyika à l'avant-garde de la révolution des énergies vertes. Toutefois, l'exploitation n'est pas encore commencée, et la longue attente plonge la population de Manono dans l'incertitude, elle qui dénonce également le fait que sa situation sociale ne s'améliore pas. Des soupçons de corruption ont entouré l'acquisition du permis par Zijin Mining, 70 millions de dollars octroyés en don à une ONG privée alors que l'État n'a perçu que près de 30 millions de dollars américains pour ses parts cédées. Dans ce podcast Qui perd, Qui gagne, nous vous emmenons dans le territoire de Manono, dans le Tanganyika, pour découvrir les enjeux principaux et les attentes de la population locale.

"And the King will answer them, ‘Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brothers, you did it to me.'" - Matthew 25:40Millions of people around the world need the basic necessities of life, but even more importantly—they need the Gospel. One organization is helping them receive both. Kelly Miller joins us with an impact report.Kelly Miller is the CEO and President of Cross International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance.A Ministry Model Built on PartnershipCross International's approach to global missions is unique. Instead of working independently, they partner with local Christian organizations, churches, and nonprofits in the countries where they serve.These local partners know their communities far better than we do, and Cross International's role is to walk alongside them and help them expand on what God has already called them to do.This collaborative model not only maximizes impact but also reflects the unity of the Body of Christ as believers across the globe work together to serve those in desperate need.An Impact Report: What God is Doing Through Cross InternationalCross International's mission goes beyond charity. It is about sharing Jesus' love while addressing critical physical needs.Here's a snapshot of what God is doing through their ministry:40,000 children and adults receive food support annuallyOver 3 million servings of fortified rice were provided last year16,000 people gained access to clean, safe drinking waterHundreds of thousands received medical supplies and essential medicinesEach of these numbers represents real lives being changed—people who are now experiencing hope, stability, and the love of Christ.Serving in Crisis: Cross International's Work in HaitiHaiti has endured political instability, gang violence, and natural disasters, yet in the midst of turmoil, Cross International continues to bring hope.Key Ministries in Haiti:Primary education for thousands of childrenTutoring and vocational training to prepare young people for employmentDaily nutritious meals—often the only meal a child will eat all-dayDespite the negative news headlines, God is moving in Haiti, and Cross International is at the forefront of that transformation.Caring for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in AfricaIn many African nations, AIDS, poverty, and natural disasters have left countless children orphaned and homeless. Through their partnerships, Cross International provides:Education and tutoring for at-risk childrenDaily meal support for children without food securityHome rebuilding for families living in unstable, mud-based housingBy offering stable housing, education, and nourishment, Cross International is breaking the cycle of poverty for these children and their families.One of the most inspiring aspects of Cross International's work is how it transforms entire communities.Take Malawi, for example—a country where child malnutrition and extreme poverty are common. Without the feeding program, many children would not go to school. The cycle of poverty would continue. In many cases, young girls would be married off at 11 or 12 years old because their families cannot afford to feed them. This program is breaking that cycle.Through Cross International's work in Tanganyika, Malawi, over 500 children receive food, education, and discipleship—offering them a new future filled with hope and purpose.Meeting Spiritual Needs Alongside Physical OnesCross International provides food, water, and education, but it also shares the life-changing truth of the Gospel with its beneficiaries.Children need to be rooted in God's Word from a young age because navigating life becomes much harder without it. When they learn early on, they grow up with the unshakable truth that God is their provider, guiding and sustaining them through every season of life.Cross International's faith-centered mission is a direct response to 1 John 3:17, which reminds us that true love for God is demonstrated in how we care for those in need.How You Can Partner with Cross InternationalCross International has launched the Thriving Kids Initiative, a program designed to help orphaned, vulnerable, and disabled children not only survive but thrive.By focusing on three key areas:Strengthening familiesBuilding faith communitiesProviding essential resources (food, water, shelter, education)Cross International creates a foundation for long-term stability and spiritual growth.For just $62 a month, you can provide:Nutritious mealsClean and safe drinking waterEducation and discipleshipVisit crossinternational.org/faith to become a monthly partner.As believers, we are called to use our financial resources for God's purposes.

D'après le site d'information congolais Actualité CD, qui s'appuie sur des sources locales, les rebelles de l'AFC/M23 se rapprochent de la ville d'Uvira dans le Sud-Kivu.Des colonnes de rebelles sont passées à Sange, sur la RN5, qui a connu des scènes de panique : « des habitants ont préféré se réfugier dans les montagnes après avoir constaté l'avancée des rebelles. Sange est à 35 kilomètres d'Uvira où des affrontements ont lieu entre des militaires congolais et les miliciens Wazalendo depuis avant-hier ».En effet, précise Actualité CD, les militaires congolais et les miliciens Wazalendo se sont repliés à Uvira face à l'avancée des rebelles du M23 et des combats ont éclaté entre eux. « À la base de ces altercations, les Wazalendo ne digèrent pas le départ de certaines troupes congolaises avec leur matériel de guerre vers Kalemie, dans le Tanganyika », plus au sud. Bilan de ces affrontements : au moins 17 morts hier et avant-hier.Dans le même temps, poursuit Actualité CD, « Uvira s'est vidée de la majorité de ses habitants. Ceux qui restent sont terrés dans leurs maisons. De nombreuses personnes se sont réfugiées au Burundi (voisin), tandis que d'autres ont pris la direction de Kalemie ou encore Moba, dans le Tanganyika. Hier mercredi, une vidéo a fait le tour des réseaux sociaux montrant des centaines de militaires congolais dans une embarcation au port de Kalundu à Uvira à destination de Kalemie ».Le Burundi dans l'expectative…« Les défaites s'enchaînent pour l'armée congolaise », constate également Afrikarabia, site spécialisé sur la RDC. « Hier, la rébellion a continué sa progression éclair vers le sud avec, en ligne de mire, la ville d'Uvira sur les bords du lac Tanganyika. L'offensive du M23 ne semble plus rencontrer de résistance de l'armée congolaise et de l'armée burundaise, censée la soutenir ».En effet, relève Afrikarabia, les soutiens des alliés de Kinshasa, Burundi, Afrique du Sud, Ouganda, semblent de plus en plus « incertains ».Pour ce qui est du Burundi, précise le site « sans appui suffisant des FARDC, les soldats burundais ont dû décrocher et abandonner la ville avant de se replier vers le sud. Après ce nouveau revers, l'armée burundaise a décidé de retirer une partie de ses troupes. Sur les 10 000 soldats burundais déployés en RDC, combien en reste-t-il aujourd'hui ? Difficile de le dire. Le Burundi est désormais dans l'attente d'un sursaut de Kinshasa et veut des assurances sur une nouvelle mise en place au sein du commandement des FARDC ».L'Afrique du Sud échaudée…Et puis, « même son de cloche chez un autre allié de Kinshasa : l'Afrique du Sud, pointe encore Afrikarabia. L'armée sud-africaine a perdu 14 soldats dans la prise de Goma et le président Cyril Ramaphosa est fortement chahuté en interne par son opposition sur son engagement militaire auprès de la RDC. L'Afrique du Sud a écrit au Ministère des Affaires étrangères congolais pour se plaindre de l'attitude des soldats congolais sur le champ de bataille. Pretoria a également conditionné le niveau de son assistance militaire à des changements importants au sein des FARDC. Félix Tshisekedi se doit donc de rassurer ses deux alliés pour obtenir un engagement militaire plus fort. Le souci, relève le site, c'est que le président congolais a déjà remanié plusieurs fois sa chaîne de commandement, sans résultat sur le terrain. La recherche d'un nouveau casting vire au casse-tête ».Le Tchad à la rescousse ?En attendant, Félix Tshisekedi continue de frapper « à toutes les portes », s'exclame Le Pays au Burkina. Le Pays qui croit savoir, qu'après le Burundi, l'Afrique du Sud et l'Ouganda, le président congolais demande maintenant l'assistance militaire du Tchad.Et le quotidien ouagalais de s'interroger : « ne gagnerait-il pas à descendre de son piédestal et à accepter enfin de dialoguer avec toutes les parties, y compris le M23 qu'il ne peut pas voir même en peinture ? C'est l'option que de nombreux médiateurs, de Nairobi à Dar es Salam, en passant par les hommes d'Eglise en RD Congo, ont proposée pour espérer sortir le pays de l'ornière ».

À Uvira, au sein de l'hôpital général, l'ONG MSF et le ministère de la Santé ont installé un centre de traitement pour les personnes atteintes. Seuls les cas les plus graves sont pris en charge, faute de capacité disponible.  De notre envoyée spéciale à Uvira,Pour entrer au centre de traitement Mpox d'Uvira, le port du masque et le lavage de mains sont obligatoires. Même tôt le matin, le centre est rempli de patients. Afin d'éviter que tous se retrouvent en même temps, le flux de patient est régulé, nous explique la femme qui nous accueille. Elle travaille pour l'ONG, Médecins sans frontières, en collaboration avec le ministère de la Santé. Car, la maladie se transmet par contacts rapprochés ou rapports sexuels. Et c'est l'un des enjeux pour combattre la contamination.« On peut donner du savon pour se laver à la maison, mais à la fin, si on n'a pas d'eau... on peut conseiller de ne pas partager le matelas, mais s'il n'y a qu'un matelas pour six personnes, que peut-on faire ? C'est difficile. Mais nous voyons jusqu'à 120 personnes par semaine en ce moment, c'est pour cette raison qu'on a fait le choix d'admettre essentiellement les cas les plus graves », raconte-t-elle. Parmi ces cas, on retrouve Grâce, qui avait développé des complications avant son arrivée au centre. Dès les premières éruptions cutanées, elle s'était pourtant tournée vers plusieurs professionnels de santé qui l'ont abandonnée, dit-elle. « Je me suis rendu compte que j'avais des boutons autour de mes organes génitaux. Et quand j'ai consulté, les pharmaciens se sont exclamés : "Ah, c'est le Mpox" ,et ils m'ont dit que c'était très contagieux. J'ai eu l'impression de n'avoir aucune valeur ! », se désole Grâce. La maladie n'est pas encore acceptée par tous et certains continuent d'avoir peur, comme l'explique le Docteur Panzu Nimi, médecin chef de zone de santé d'Uvira : « Notre courbe d'évolution des cas est vraiment atypique. On a déjà atteint le pic, mais on n'a pas encore amorcé la descente. On a presque un plateau, donc les cas se cachent, les gens ont encore peur de dire qu'ils sont malades, et c'est pour ça que nous devons renforcer notre surveillance. »D'autant qu'Uvira est une ville carrefour dont la localisation renforce son exposition à la contagion. Elle est située au bord du lac Tanganyika, qui relie quatre pays entre eux : la RDC, le Burundi, la Tanzanie et la Zambie.► À écouter aussi : Mpox en RDC: la sensibilisation pour enrayer le virus à Miti-Murhesa, foyer de l'épidémie [1/3]

À Uvira, une ville du sud-est de la République démocratique du Congo, voisine de Bujumbura, la capitale du Burundi, les déchets plastiques sont partout. Ils jonchent les caniveaux, les principales avenues et les rives du lac Tanganyika. Pas de poubelle publique ni système de ramassage d'ordures. Résultat : les bouteilles de jus, d'eau, les emballages, ou même les chaussures bon marché (dont l'utilisation est très répandue), sont jetés dans la rue, et finissent dans le lac. De notre correspondante,Pour rentrer chez lui, Makashira, un jeune homme de 18 ans, doit enjamber des flaques débordantes de déchets plastiques. Sa maison, située en centre-ville d'Uvira, dans l'est de la RDC, borde le lac Tanganyika. « On nous a enseigné pourquoi les déchets sont mauvais. On nous a dit que ça emmène de la pollution. On nous a dit que ça emmène des moustiques, mais tout ce qu'on nous enseigne à l'école, on ne le met pas en pratique. C'est ça le problème. Lorsque nous trouvons des déchets, nous les jetons directement dans l'eau, on n'a pas une poubelle pour jeter ça », déplore-t-il.Sans système de ramassage des poubelles, sans décharge publique ni entreprise de recyclage, il n'y aucune alternative pour la population locale, autre que celle de déverser ses ordures un peu partout. Le maire d'Uvira, Kiza Muhato, promet la création d'une cellule d'assainissement et d'hygiène pour la ville : « Nous voulons, dans l'année 2025, mettre en place cette cellule pour récolter tous ces déchets plastiques. Dans quelques mois, je pense qu'il y aura une étude sur la province du Sud-Kivu, sur la gestion totale de tous les déchets dans toutes les villes. »À lire aussiRDC: à Bukavu, le principal barrage croule sous les déchets plastiquesL'eau, les boissons sucrées, les chaussures, les chaises, les tables, les bassines… le plastique est partout et utilisé quotidiennement. Selon Muhoza Bitaka Jean-Marie, le directeur du Centre de recherche en hydrobiologie d'Uvira et spécialiste en éducation environnementale, la solution est simple : réduire sa consommation. « On va me demander maintenant : l'eau, où est-ce qu'on va alors conserver ça ? Les jus que nous prenons chaque jour, que nous utilisons même dans les fêtes, où est-ce que nous allons mettre ça ? Mais ma réponse serait : il y a à peu près dix ans, la production de l'eau dans les plastiques, ça n'existait pas. Donc, le plastique n'est autre qu'un produit récent. Si nous arrêtons sa consommation, je pense, que ça ne serait pas un problème si la conscience écologique arrive à être ancrée dans les habitudes des gens d'Uvira. »Les conséquences de la présence des déchets plastiques pour la santé humaine sont encore peu connues dans la zone. Mais selon Masilya Mulungula, professeur à l'université de Bukavu qui a mené une étude sur le lac Tanganyika, ses eaux sont fortement concentrées en microplastique. Le macroplastique quant à lui sédimente les fonds lacustres, cachant ainsi certaines zones de reproduction des poissons.

Quand on évoque « les routes des esclaves » en RDC, on pense principalement au réseau nord qui partait de Kinshasa vers l'Angola en passant par le Congo central et le port de Moanda. Pourtant, il y a un autre réseau, celui du sud est utilisé essentiellement fin XVIIIe et début XIXe siècle par les Arabes, dont Mohamed Ahmed, connu sous le nom de Tipo Tip. Ses captifs, qui provenaient de la région du Maniema et des environs de Kalemie au sud est de la RDC, étaient ensuite exposés pour la vente au village Kasenga, à plus de 30 km, avant d'être embarqués vers l'île de Zanzibar en Tanzanie. Aujourd'hui, le Musée national à Kalemie tente de faire resurgir cette partie de l'histoire congolaise oubliée. Les Routes des esclaves est un site perdu entre des collines à près de 500 mètres du rivage du lac Tanganyika au nord de Kalemie, en RDC. Pour l'atteindre, il faut passer par le village Kasenga construit sur du sable fin de la plage. Portace Sungura, âgé de 79 ans, a vécu dans cette bourgade toute sa vie et raconte : « Ici était le marché des esclaves. Ils venaient de partout, et puis ils étaient embarqués vers d'autres pays. C'était le commerce des blancs et nous Congolais, on était vendu comme de la marchandise. »Le lieu qui servait justement de marché des esclaves est à environ 400 mètres. Ici, 22 manguiers vieux de plus d'un siècle forment deux rangées. La bande de Tipo Tip utilisait ces arbres pour attacher les esclaves avant l'échange. Mais, cet espace chargé d'histoire ne porte aucune inscription, regrette Kaskile, notre guide : « Ces arbres ne sont plus au nombre complet. Il y a celui-là qui est à côté, des jeunes l'avaient abattu pour produire du charbon. Et ce cet autre manguier du milieu, on l'avait coupé et déterré, espérant y trouver de l'or, mais il n'y avait rien… Et tout ça, c'est parce qu'il n'y a pas de plaque qui identifie le lieu. »La rivière Rugo sépare le site du village. Robert Sulubika, un jeune d'une vingtaine d'années, assure la traversée en pirogue des quelques rares visiteurs. « Les marchands d'esclaves passaient par cette voie. À l'époque, il n'y avait pas d'eau. Ils les conduisaient vers cette plage du lac Tanganyika qui est juste à côté, ensuite, ils les embarquaient pour la Tanzanie », explique-t-il.La Tanzanie, où vivent aujourd'hui les descendants de Naebeka, le grand-père d'Hubert Mbangwanguma, âgé de 89 ans, que nous avons rencontré un peu plus loin du site. Naeba était fait esclave par le groupe de Tipo Tip alors que la traite était déjà abolie, se souvient même en chanson son petit-fils Hubert : « Mon grand-père a été capturé et il est parti. Mais, il avait réussi à s'en fuir, car à ce moment-là, les Belges faisaient pression sur les Arabes. Et mon grand-père s'est installé à Iragana (en Tanzanie) où il est enterré. »Le site La Route des esclaves, au nord de Kalemie, est à ce jour menacé par les inondations. Certains manguiers ont séché. Le Musée national, antenne de Kalemie quant à lui, mène une campagne de promotion de cet espace afin de mobiliser des ressources pour le protéger.À écouter aussiSociété arabo-musulmane et esclavage

Wajumbe wa Baraza la Usalama la Umoja wa Mataifa hii leo wameelezwa jinsi ushindani wa uchimbaji kupita kiasi na biashara ya maliasili huko Mashariki ya Jamhuri ya Kidemokrasia ya Congo, DRC unavyozidi kuchochea mapigano kwenye eneo hilo, madini kama vile dhahabu na Koltani. Hayo yamo kwenye ripoti ya Katibu Mkuu wa Umoja wa Mataifa iliyowasilishwa mbele ya Baraza la Usalama na Mwakilishi wake Maalum nchini DR Congo, Bintou Keita, ikianzia tarehe 20 Juni hadi 19 mwezi huu wa Septemba.Bi. Keita amesema “jimboni Ituri, mapigano yaliyoshamiri hivi karibuni yamechochewa na vikundi vilivyojihami vikijaribu kudhibiti machimbo ya madini. Kwa kuwa faida imeongezeka kwa kupanua machimbo ya dhahabu, vikundi vilivyojihami vimegeuka kuwa wajasiriamali wa madini. Vikundi ya kijamii na jeshi la serikali lisilo na uwezo kifedha wakihaha kudhibiti makundi ambayo yameimarika kijeshi na kifedha.”Mwakikilishi huyo ambaye pia ni Mkuu wa Ujumbe waUmoja wa Mataifa wa kulinda amani nchini DRC, MMONUSCO, amesema jimboni Kivu Kaskazini, M23 inazidi kuimarisha udhibiti wake wa maeneo ya Masisi na Rutshuru jimboni Kivu Kaskazini, na hivyo wameweza kudhibiti kabisa uzalishaji wa madini  ya Koltani.Ameongeza kuwa “biashara kutoka eneo la Rubaya linalokadiriwa kuchangia zaidi ya asilimia 15 ya uzalishaji wa madini ya Tantalum, imepatia M23 dola 300,000 kila mwezi. Hii inatia hofu na lazima ikomeshwe,.”Wajumbe pia walipata ripoti kutoka kwa Thérèse Nzale-Kove, mwanaharakati wa haki za wanawake kutoka Mfuko kwa Ajili ya Wanawake wa DRC au FFC.Bi. Nzale-Kove amesema kuondoka kwa MONUSCO jambo ambalo limesharidhiwa lazima kuzingatie changamoto za mifumo ya ulinzi wa haki za binadamu na ukosefu wa haki za kijamii na madhara yake.Ametaka kuzingatiwa kwa tathmini za kile walichojifunza baada ya MONUSCO kuondoka majimbo ya Tanganyika na Kivu Kusini.Kwa sasa MONUSCO imesalia jimbo la Kivu Kaskazini na inatakiwa iwe imeondoka kabisa DRC ifikapo mwisho wa mwaka huu.

Being a successful Entrepreneur and succesfully transitioning a business and the next Generation grows it exponentially is elite territory. Matt Fouts has done that with Tanganyika Wildlife Park, advancing the work his Father pioneered fosterring the relationship between humans and animals.  The experience at Tanganyika is second to none in the United States.  With the unique experiences avaiable to all who visit, they have created "a culture of connecting animals and people together. Biophilia is the hypothesis that there is an inate desire for humans to connect with nature.  The hypothesis is tested and proven true every day at Tanganyika.   As Cheif of Connections, Lynnlee Schmidt feels the power of these conections between humans and nature with every interaction patrons have at Tanganyika.  "I saw the impact animals were having on people.

Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 18 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 17 2 weeks ago, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week as well. This week we're going to be diving back into learning about historic genocides as we learn about the Congolese genocide committed by King Leopold II of Belgium. We've talked about the Congolese Genocide previously on Day 11, Free Congo. But for today's episode we're going to go into much greater detail about this particular genocide and not just discuss it within the context of a current conflict. Now, before we get to The Alchemist's Table I wanted to apologize that there wasn't a new episode last week. Sometimes you just don't have the energy, the motivation, the spoons or the spell slots. So, I took a week off. It might happen again. And now on to the booze! Today's libation is called Cherries Jubilee. It's 2 oz of Islay scotch. I'd recommend a Bowmore if you're not a huge fan of the peat. Then 1 oz of creme de cacao. 1 oz of frangelico. Add .75 oz of cherry syrup. Shake and pour overice. Top with ginger beer or a hard cider. Garnish with luxardo cherries and enjoy. Now, with that out of the way let's get into the Congolese Rubber Genocide. In order to understand this genocide we first need to understand European colonialism during this time. Colonialism has taken many forms over the years and in the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century it transitioned from the classic form of American colonialism into what we would consider New Colonialism. New Colonialism would rely less on direct military control of an area and would rely more on having governmental institutions in power that would directly benefit those pre existing colonial power structures. So, near the end of the 19th century there was very little European colonial and mercantile presence in Africa. There were some port towns, to be sure, and there was trade, but very little of the African continent was under the control of European powers at this time. But, European greed for gold and, especially, ivory wouldn't allow them to ignore African riches for much longer. The Berlin Conference was organized between November 1884 and February 1885 at the request of King Leopold II of Belgium and was organized by Otto von Bismarck of Germany.   The primary purpose of the Berlin Conference was regulating European colonization and trade during the New Imperialism period. It might seem strange to need to differentiate New Imperialism from the forms of empire building that came before. Afterall, the methodology was largely the same. Conquest. And the reasoning was, mostly the same. Resources and land acquisition. But New Imperialism also came with a good deal of “civilizing” flavor. You might be familiar with the poem White Man's Burden by Rudyard Kipling. If you're not. You can fully understand the entire mindset of 19th and 20th century colonialism simply by reading that poem. Now, Leopold had been using the explorations of Henry Morgan Stanley, and his own organization, the International African Association to quietly try and create his own private colony in central Africa that would be called the Congo Free State, but France found out and started making moves, and then Britain and Portugal found out and began trying to grab land which led Germany to do the same. War was brewing quickly as these various European powerhouses all sought as much land, wealth, and power as they could grab. This, ultimately, would be why the Berlin Conference was called and why it was so successful. These European powers decided, instead of going to war and killing each other over Africa they'd just all meet and carve it up like a pecan pie and settle it all peaceful like. There were 14 nations/empires in attendance at the Berlin Conference, Germany, Austria Hungary, the International Congo Society (this really means King Leopold II of Belgium), Spain, Denmark, the United States, France, the United Kingdom, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal, Russia, Sweden-Norway, and the Ottoman Empire. And while all 14 of those countries were in attendance at the Berlin Conference and had a say in the final decisions that were made, only 7 countries were actually going to colonize Africa once it was over. Those countries were Belgium (really just King Leopold II, this would be his own private colony), Germany, Spain, France, Great Britain, Portugal, and Italy. At the time of the Berlin Conference, in 1885, less than 10% of the African continent was under European control, but by the time World War 1 broke out only Liberia and Ethiopia were still independent. Although, Liberia certainly only existed because of US colonial power, and so doesn't REALLY count as independent.  Wanna know one of the most buckwild things about the Berlin Conference? I ask knowing that there is no way for you to answer or to stop me from telling you short of skipping forward by about 30 seconds. Part of the General Act, the document that was signed and ratified at the conclusion of the Berlin Conference was a commitment from the European powers involved to END AFRICAN AND ISLAMIC SLAVERY. Most of those European powers would go on to enslave the populations they conquered and colonized. This period of New Imperialism is what we tend to call The Scramble for Africa. So far we've been talking about this all in fairly clinical terms, as if these European countries simply sat around a table and calmly decided who would get what land in the second largest continent on the planet and then it just happened, with no additional muss or fuss. Anyone who has studied even the barest amount of human history knows that nothing happens without muss or fuss. There were wars, and battles, and massacres that led to Europe gaining control of African territory. We now need to talk a bit about the Congo Free State, and how King Leopold of Belgium, a frail weakling (compared to the other European powers) managed to worm his way into the conference and into one of the most lucrative colonies in Africa. The Congo Free State was a truly massive colony that was owned personally by Leopold. It was NOT, at least between the years 1885 and 1908, part of the Belgian Empire, it was not owned by the Belgian government and was ruled entirely separately, it just happened to be ruled by the King of Belgium. Leopold was able to gain this massive colony by convincing the monarchs of Europe that he was engaged in humanitarian and philanthropic work, and that the Congo Free State would be an area of free trade in Africa. He also then proceeded to lie to the leaders of Britain, Germany, France, and the US telling them all that he would give them special trade status. Leopold maintained a guise that he was not trying to use the Congo Basin to increase his own wealth and economic and political power. He maintained that his presence in the region was, as was a huge part of the ethos of New Imperialism, to civilize the savages of the Congo Basin and to bring them closer to God and good European cultural supremacy.  Leopold pledged to suppress the east African slave trade; promote humanitarian policies; guarantee free trade within the colony; impose no import duties for twenty years; and encourage philanthropic and scientific enterprises. Beginning in the mid-1880s, Leopold first decreed that the state asserted rights of proprietorship over all vacant lands throughout the Congo territory. In three successive decrees, Leopold promised the rights of the Congolese in their land to native villages and farms, essentially making nearly all of the CFS terres domaniales (state-owned land). Leopold further decreed that merchants should limit their commercial operations in rubber trade with the natives. Additionally, the colonial administration liberated thousands of slaves. Four main problems presented themselves over the next few years. Leopold II ran up huge debts to finance his colonial endeavour and risked losing his colony to Belgium. Much of the Free State was unmapped jungle, which offered little fiscal and commercial return. Cecil Rhodes, Prime Minister of the Cape Colony (part of modern South Africa), was expanding his British South Africa Company's charter lands from the south and threatened to occupy Katanga (southern Congo) by exploiting the "Principle of Effectivity" loophole in the Berlin Treaty. In this he was supported by Harry Johnston, the British Commissioner for Central Africa, who was London's representative in the region. The Congolese interior was ruled by Arab Zanzibari slavers and sultans, powerful kings and warlords who had to be coerced or defeated by use of force. For example, the slaving gangs of Zanzibar trader Tippu Tip had a strong presence in the eastern part of the territory in the modern-day Maniema, Tanganyika and Ituri regions. They were linked to the Swahili coast via Uganda and Tanzania and had established independent slave states. So very quickly Leopold began to renege on his promises. The first concession he made to his greed and desire for power was to establish a policy of terres vacantes. Vacant land, which was defined as any land that did not have a house or cultivated garden plot. This was, of course, most of the country. Any terres vacantes was now automatically property of the state to be portioned out to Leopold's cronies and supporters. Next Leopold would decree that any locals harvesting rubber or ivory were only allowed to sell to the state. This was doubly enforced because most of the rubber or ivory harvesting was happening on “state owned land” and so it “mae sense” that they could only sell to the state, which now had a monopoly on those products and could set the prices at whatever they wanted. Trading companies were, obviously, pissed by this as part of the General Act of the Berlin Conference was a promise of Free Trade in Belgium. Now, what made The Congo so special in the history of capitalist exploitation was that it was home to something that would become one of the most important natural resources in the entire world, rubber. There are only two sources of natural rubber in the world. The sap of the Hevea brasiliensis, or rubber tree that grows in the Amazon River Basin, and the sap of Landolphia owariensis, a species of woody vines that grow in the Congo. I mean, technically there are 2500 species of plants that produce natural latex and rubber, but those two are the big ones. Today 99% of natural latex and rubber comes from the Amazon, but Leopold was able to make massive profit off of his colony. By the final decade of the 19th century, John Boyd Dunlop's 1887 invention of inflatable, rubber bicycle tubes and the growing usage of the automobile dramatically increased global demand for rubber. Now, as mentioned previously the rubber in the Congo came from vines. So while the trees in the Amazon basin could be tapped much in the same way we get Maple syrup, the Congolese workers would slash the vines and lather their bodies with the rubber latex. When the latex hardened, it would be scraped off the skin in a quite painful manner, ripping off the workers hair. The economic system in the Congo Free State was known as the red rubber system. It was a slave economy that Leopold enforced through the use of his armed forces known as the Force Publique. The officer corp of the Force Publique was made up entirely of White Europeans, and much of their rank and file was made up of slaves captured by Arabic slavers in the Upper Congo. Many of the other soldiers were children who had been kidnapped from their villages and raised in Roman Catholic missions in conditions very similar to slavery. Each slave in the Congo Free State was required to harvest a regular quota of rubber sap. What that quota was was often arbitrarily decided based purely on profit based concerns. Workers who refused to supply their labour were coerced with "constraint and repression". Dissenters were beaten or whipped with the chicotte, a bullship made of hippo hide, hostages were taken to ensure prompt collection and punitive expeditions were sent to destroy villages which refused. The policy led to a collapse of Congolese economic and cultural life, as well as farming in some areas. One refugee from these horrors described the process: We were always in the forest to find the rubber vines, to go without food, and our women had to give up cultivating the fields and gardens. Then we starved ... When we failed and our rubber was short, the soldiers came to our towns and killed us. Many were shot, some had their ears cut off; others were tied up with ropes round their necks and taken away. Failure to meet the rubber collection quotas was punishable by death. Meanwhile, the Force Publique were required to provide the hand of their victims as proof when they had shot and killed someone, as it was believed that they would otherwise use the munitions (imported from Europe at considerable cost) for hunting or to stockpile them for mutiny. As a consequence, the rubber quotas were in part paid off in cut-off hands. A Catholic priest quotes a man, Tswambe, speaking of the hated state official Léon Fiévez, who ran a district along the river 300 mi north of Stanley Pool: “All blacks saw this man as the devil of the Equator ... From all the bodies killed in the field, you had to cut off the hands. He wanted to see the number of hands cut off by each soldier, who had to bring them in baskets ... A village which refused to provide rubber would be completely swept clean. As a young man, I saw [Fiévez's] soldier Molili, then guarding the village of Boyeka, take a net, put ten arrested natives in it, attach big stones to the net, and make it tumble into the river ... Rubber causes these torments; that's why we no longer want to hear its name spoken. Soldiers made young men kill or rape their own mothers and sisters.” One junior officer in the Force Publique had this to say about the quota system: The baskets of severed hands, set down at the feet of the European post commanders, became the symbol of the Congo Free State. ... The collection of hands became an end in itself. Force Publique soldiers brought them to the stations in place of rubber; they even went out to harvest them instead of rubber ... They became a sort of currency. They came to be used to make up for shortfalls in rubber quotas, to replace ... the people who were demanded for the forced labour gangs; and the Force Publique soldiers were paid their bonuses on the basis of how many hands they collected. Within the Congo Free State there was also rampant famine and disease that killed hundreds of thousands of people, a type of residential school where children were sent to learn to be either workers or soldiers. About 50% of the children who entered these schools died. There were also several reputable reports of Congolese people turning to cannibalism in the face of their lack of food resources. With everyone being forced to harvest rubber there was no one to farm or gather or hunt for food. It is generally accepted that over the course of Leopold's rule in the Congo Free State, between 1885 and 1908 that at least 10 million Congolese people were killed. The peak year for the cost of rubber was 1903, with rubber fetching the highest price and concessionary companies raking in the highest profits. However, the boom sparked efforts to find lower-cost producers. Congolese concessionary companies started facing competition from rubber cultivation in Southeast Asia and Latin America. As plantations were begun in other tropical regions around the world, the global price of rubber started to dip. Competition heightened the drive to exploit forced labour in the Congo in order to lower production costs. Meanwhile, the cost of enforcement was eating away at profit margins, along with the toll taken by the increasingly unsustainable harvesting methods. As competition from other areas of rubber cultivation mounted, Leopold's private rule was left increasingly vulnerable to international scrutiny. Missionaries carefully and meticulously documented the many abuses of the Congolese Red Rubber system. This would finally be noted by the international community and by the Belgian government itself as a violation of the 1885 Berlin Act which gave Leopold authority and control of the Congo as long as he: "care[d] for the improvements of their conditions of their moral and material well-being" and "help[ed] in suppressing slavery." After 2 years of international pressure the Belgian government agreed to annex the Congo Free State and make it an official part of the Belgian Empire. The reason the debate lasted 2 years was that no one wanted to take on the responsibility of fixing everything Leopold had fucked up so royally (pun intended). But what happened to Leopold you ask? Did he go to jail? Did he get a slap on the wrist? Was he deposed as king and sent into exile on a small island in the Pacific where he eventually died of stomach cancer? Nah, he did die though, but he died as King of Belgium. He had surgery on December 17, 1909. He had a coronary bridging performed, aiming at correcting insufficient irrigation of the myocardium. ''A few hours after the operation, a failure of the myocardium occurred leading to death the same day''. Leopold had ruled Belgium for 44 years, which makes him, to this day, the longest reigning Belgian monarch. You also might be please to know that his funeral procession was booed by every crowd he passed. His people fucking hated him. Exciting news y'all! We actually DO have some reviews this week!

We ventured out west again to meet with the team at Tanganyika so that they could talk about their upcoming future plans for the park. There has been some online backlash due to some of these announcements, and so the team wanted an opportunity to explain their side of the situation and get us all very excited for what is coming soon. Whether you agree with some of the changes or not, it appears that Tanganyika is doing all it can to position itself as a unique experience not just in Kansas but in all of America. This could be a great destination for tourists from all over to come check out.

El Niño est-il responsable des pluies torrentielles qui s'abattent sur l'Afrique de l'Est ? La question divise les spécialistes. Voici le point de vue du professeur congolais Jean-Pierre Djibu, qui dirige au Katanga l'Observatoire régional de changement climatique et qui enseigne à l'université de Lubumbashi. Selon lui, les averses ne viennent pas directement d'El Niño, dans l'océan Pacifique, mais d'une réplique de ce phénomène climatique au niveau de l'immense lac Tanganyika. D'où les très graves inondations à Kaliémie. En ligne de Lubumbashi, le climatologue congolais répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Comment expliquez-vous ces pluies torrentielles qui s'abattent sur les provinces du Tanganyika et du Sud-Kivu ?Jean-Pierre Djibu : Quand on prend le lac Tanganyika, c'est un lac de plus de 700 kilomètres de long et de 70 kilomètres de large, pratiquement 35 000 km² de superficie – l'équivalent d'un État comme la Belgique. Mais, ce lac draine un bassin de plus de 250 000 km² au niveau de quatre pays que sont le Burundi, la République démocratique du Congo (RDC), la Zambie et la Tanzanie. Alors, parmi les causes naturelles, il faut comprendre que, à l'allure où va le réchauffement de la partie superficielle du lac, il y a un risque, éventuellement, que la température augmente jusqu'à trois degrés d'ici à la fin du XXIe siècle. Et plus la température augmente à la surface du lac, plus on constate que le comportement se produit comme un phénomène El Niño. Bien sûr que ce phénomène se produit dans l'Océan, mais il est maintenant reflété au niveau du lac, parce qu'il s'agit d'un grand lac, qui couvre une grande superficie. La partie superficielle étant réchauffée, les eaux profondes étant beaucoup plus froides, qu'est-ce qui se passe ? Il y a une grande évaporation et une grande augmentation d'évaporation qui va rendre l'atmosphère humide. Toute la région devient humide et il y a une forte formation de nuages, ce que l'on appelle les cumulonimbus. On a des précipitations d'averses avec une certaine agressivité. C'est vraiment la toute première fois depuis 2013 qu'on a eu le niveau du lac qui a augmenté de 276 à 293 mètres, ce qui est une grande quantité.Ce réchauffement des eaux à la surface du lac, à quoi est-il dû ?Il est dû au réchauffement climatique.Donc, on aurait affaire à l'addition de deux phénomènes : le réchauffement climatique, plus El Niño ?Exactement. Avec le facteur aggravant qui est le facteur anthropique, la déforestation.Et la surpopulation sur les berges ?La surpopulation et l'aménagement anarchique de terrains, l'occupation anarchique du bassin du lac.Donc, le phénomène El Niño, ce n'est pas simplement dans l'Océan Pacifique, c'est aussi sur le lac Tanganyika ?Exactement. Nous avons, aujourd'hui, avec le réchauffement climatique, tout ceci qui a provoqué le phénomène El Niño au niveau de la plupart des lacs africains, mais c'est spécialement le lac Tanganyika qui devient indicateur dans cette tendance. Parce que les études faites nous montrent qu'il y a quelque chose qui est en train d'être modifié au niveau du comportement, en ce qui concerne le cycle de l'eau dans ce lac.Est-ce que le même phénomène se produit au niveau du lac Victoria, plus au nord ?Exactement, cela se fait de la même manière.Ce phénomène El Niño sur le lac Tanganyika, est-ce qui s'est déjà produit au XIXe siècle ou au XXe siècle ?Oui, au XVIIIe siècle, on a connu des fortes inondations au niveau du lac Tanganyika. Même au XXe siècle, on a connu [ce type d'inondations]. Mais, là, nous avons une particularité : le niveau d'eau, par rapport aux mesures déjà connues, pendant une longue période, est beaucoup plus élevé. On est arrivé à 793 mètres, ce qui est très élevé au niveau de la quantité d'eau qui a été augmentée.793 mètres… Et cela, c'est un niveau exceptionnel ?C'est un niveau exceptionnel, oui. Avant, le bassin du lac Tanganyika n'était pas un bassin aménagé. Ce sont là qu'interviennent des causes anthropiques. Actuellement, c'est un bassin qui a été loti, aménagé. Il y a des constructions, des villes, des maisons, des routes, des cultures… Il s'agit de lits [de rivière]. Et, malheureusement, ces lits ont été aménagés de manière quasiment anarchique, sans respecter les normes au niveau de l'environnement. C'est pourquoi nous avons des catastrophes qui sont liées aux activités anthropiques.Lors de la précédente montée du lac Tanganyika en 2021, Madame la ministre de l'Environnement, Ève Bazaiba, dénonçait déjà l'occupation anarchique des berges du lac et des rivières. Est-ce que des mesures ont-été prises depuis trois ans ?Non, aucune mesure. Normalement, dans des situations comme cela, on est censé prendre des mesures draconiennes ! Parce qu'il y avait déjà un avertissement, il y a plus de dix ans. Un avertissement sur le réchauffement superficiel des eaux du lac Tanganyika, lié au réchauffement climatique, avec le risque éventuel des inondations extrêmes. Mais, malheureusement, aucune mesure n'a été prise à ce niveau-là.Par ailleurs, la construction de digues avait été annoncée ces dernières années, pour limiter la montée des eaux. Est-ce que ces digues ont été construites ?C'est une solution sans valeur, parce que la meilleure des façons est de combiner des solutions. C'est-à-dire, même si on peut construire des digues éventuellement, on doit faire de la reforestation parce que tout le bassin du lac Tanganyika a été complètement déforesté. C'est-à-dire qu'il n'y a pas de végétation et lorsqu'il n'y a pas de végétation, il n'y a plus de moyens de rétention afin de pouvoir garder l'eau et permettre l'infiltration. Ce qui se passe, c'est le ruissellement, et ce ruissellement est accompagné d'érosion. Donc, il faut combiner la construction de digues, ce qui doit être vraiment accessoire, avec le reboisement du bassin du lac. S'il faut reboiser le bassin du lac, ce n'est pas simplement se contenter de la partie congolaise ! Le bassin du lac, il comprend l'ensemble des quatre pays. La Zambie, la Tanzanie, le Burundi et la RDC. Cela signifierait qu'il faudrait des efforts communs entre les quatre pays. Même si on arrivait, également, à reforester, il faut passer par l'étape où l'on délocaliserait les personnes. On ne peut reforester que l'endroit qui n'est pas occupé. Or, tout le bassin, plus de 60%, est pratiquement aménagé. Il faudrait arriver à délocaliser les personnes avant de pouvoir faire le reboisement.Mais, pour déménager ces personnes, il faut leur trouver de nouveaux emplacements et cela est très difficile, j'imagine…Évidemment, c'est un autre aspect. Il y a quand même l'espace pour essayer de délocaliser les populations et les mettre à l'abri. Je crois que les quatre pays, dont la RDC, ont suffisamment d'espace pour ce genre de choses. Parce que ces catastrophes ont créé beaucoup de conséquences, il y a eu beaucoup de morts par inondations, que ça soit à Kalémie, à Uvira, à Kigoma… À Uvira, on a eu énormément de morts !Autre phénomène, à quelques centaines de kilomètres plus au sud, en Zambie, où les populations sont touchées par une sécheresse exceptionnelle. Comment expliquez-vous qu'il pleuve beaucoup au Congo-Kinshasa et pas du tout en Zambie ?Le phénomène El Niño fait les deux à la fois ! Soit une augmentation de température sur une surface d'eau, comme je l'ai dit sur les grands lacs, occupant une grande superficie et provoquant la formation de cumulonimbus, de nuages de précipitations, et on a des averses dans cette zone. Soit, en Zambie, il n'y a pas de lac, donc on a un sol qui se réchauffe et avec l'évaporation, il n'y a pas suffisamment d'humidité dans l'atmosphère et nous avons une sécheresse. Cette sécheresse est liée aussi au phénomène El Niño. Ça fait les deux ! Cela provoque soit les inondations, les fortes précipitations, soit également de fortes sécheresses. Cela est aggravé, également, par le désert de Namib qui a tendance à avancer vers le nord, donc en poussant vers l'Angola et la Zambie.D'où le paradoxe El Niño, des pluies au Congo et la sécheresse en Zambie. Exactement.Est-ce que les autorités politiques de ces deux pays ont pris conscience de la gravité de ce phénomène climatique ?Non ! C'est un autre aspect. En Zambie, ils sont en train de réfléchir en ce qui concerne les conséquences sur le plan de la sécurité alimentaire, sur le plan de la santé, parce que plus il fait chaud, plus il y a la prolifération de nouvelles maladies qui sont liées à des pandémies, liées à des virus qui ont tendance à vouloir muter génétiquement et à s'adapter à des conditions beaucoup plus extrêmes. Là, au moins, ils réfléchissent sur la sécurité sanitaire et la sécurité alimentaire. Bon, pas de manière aussi poussée, en RDC, nous avons l'impression que l'on en parle, qu'il y a de bonnes intentions, mais ça s'arrête là, il n'y a jamais de suivi !À lire aussiInondations en RDC: «Aujourd'hui, la ville de Kalemie est coupée en deux»

À Kalemie, à l'est de la RDC, les pluies abondantes enregistrées ces derniers mois rendent la navigation très complexe sur le lac Tanganyika. Tous les ports construits le long de ce lac, le deuxième plus grand d'Afrique, sont inondés, notamment du côté de la RDC. Ce qui rend difficile la circulation des biens et des personnes.  De notre envoyée spéciale à Kalemie,Au port de Kalemie, une dizaine de bateaux sont amarrés. Le quai est invisible, il est sous l'eau. Pas aisé pour les armateurs d'accoster, explique Judes Musa, capitaine du bateau MV Okako, arrivé de la cité d'Uvira, dans le Sud-Kivu :« Nous, qui naviguons entre le port de Moba, de Kalemie, et même d'Uvira, nous sommes en difficulté. Tous ces ports sont submergés. Il faut beaucoup de manœuvres pour accoster, le quai est dans l'eau. Si tu ne fais pas attention, tu montes sur le quai et le bateau est endommagé. »Trouver des solutions pour pouvoir accosterLe chef du port, Richard Mwanana, en est conscient. Il envisage un balisage le long du quai :« Nous cherchons à rencontrer les agents de la RVF (Régie des voies fluviales) afin qu'ils placent ici des signaux ; parce que c'est très dangereux pour le moment. Le capitaine peut heurter facilement le quai. L'eau est au-dessus du quai et quand il y a des vagues, l'eau monte. »Plus au sud, le quai du port de Moba est le plus affecté. Les armateurs menacent de suspendre le déplacement vers ce port qui, pourtant, est l'un de ceux qui approvisionnent la ville de Kalemie en produits agricoles. Comme l'explique encore Jude Musa, le capitaine du bateau Okako : « Lorsque nous arrivons à Moba, un homme se place sur le quai qui est sous l'eau. Il nous guide afin d'accoster. »Le capitaine détaille la manœuvre : « Petit à petit, on avance, puis on jette la corde, et lui va descendre sous le quai en nageant afin d'amarrer le bateau. Par la suite, les pirogues vont transporter les passagers jusqu'au rivage. C'est pénible et là, nous allons suspendre la navigation vers Moba. »Des conséquences économiques pour les ports submergésSi la communication par bateau est coupée entre le port de Moba et les autres ports de la région, la cité va connaître d'énormes conséquences économiques. Ce que craint André Yumba, vice-président du patronat à Kalemie : « Si les bateaux ne vont plus à Moba, la population n'aura plus d'autres moyens pour s'approvisionner en différents produits manufacturés qui proviennent d'autres régions. » Pour lui, il ne reste qu'à prier pour la décrue du lac :« Ainsi, il y aura de l'espoir de récupérer le port de Moba. »Pour l'heure, les bateaux qui accostent au port de Kalemie prennent plus de temps pour le chargement et déchargement à cause de la montée des eaux du lac. Ce qui ralentit le rythme de navigation sur le lac, indique le chef du port. 

À Kalemie, dans la province du Tanganyika, 2 282 habitations sont soit inondées, soit endommagées en raison des fortes pluies et des inondations de ces derniers mois, selon le dernier rapport du Bureau de coordination des affaires humanitaires des Nations unies en RDC. Face au manque d'assistance humanitaire, une solidarité locale s'organise autour des victimes des inondations.   De notre envoyée spéciale à Kalemie, Mukuku, au nord de Kalemie. C'est l'un des villages qui accueille un grand nombre de sinistrés des inondations. André, le chef de la localité, explique : « Celle-ci est une maison nouvellement occupée. Et puis, il y a celle de notre frère qui est le directeur d'école. Tous ont fui les inondations. »À quelques mètres de la résidence du chef de la localité, trois jeunes gens déchargent des valises, des meubles et des ustensiles de cuisine d'une camionnette. Un habitant du village a cédé son chantier à madame Jeanne Feza, dont la maison est envahie par l'eau : « J'ai rencontré le propriétaire de la maison, il m'a autorisé de venir vivre ici avec mes enfants. J'ai vu que c'était un homme au bon cœur », confie Jeanne Feza. « Ce chantier n'avait ni toiture, ni portes. Nous avons enlevé les tôles, les portes et les fenêtres sur notre maison inondée et nous les avons placées ici, pour que la maison soit habitable. »37 740 personnes affectées par les inondations à KalemieUn peu plus au nord-est de Kalemie, dans le quartier Citira, Ermé Kalunga est occupé à finaliser son chantier. Il doit y loger ses parents, eux aussi ont été victimes de ces événements climatiques extrêmes : « Comme j'ai déjà construit ici et que je suis à 60 % des travaux, j'ai voulu que mes parents viennent habiter ici provisoirement. J'ai déjà acheté les portes. Je compte construire d'abord des toilettes qu'ils utiliseront pendant au moins quatre mois, en attendant l'arrivée de la saison sèche. À ce moment-là, je construirai des toilettes durables. »La solidarité autour des sinistrés dans la ville de Kalemie doit aller au-delà d'une simple assistance matérielle, indique pour sa part Christian Kirongozi. Il a accueilli chez lui, au quartier Kahinda, sa mère et sa sœur ainée. Leur maison était submergée : « Qu'est-ce que nous pouvons faire face à ça ?  Les récupérer, rester avec eux, essayer un peu de les consoler parce que c'est une circonstance indépendante de leur volonté. Là où ils étaient, ils ont laissé des biens de valeur… ». Il se veut rassurant : « On essaye de leur remonter [le moral] en leur disant que ce sont des choses qui arrivent... Il y a encore de l'avenir et on doit toujours garder l'espoir. »De janvier à avril 2024, la ville de Kalemie a enregistré 37 740 personnes affectées par les inondations, indiquent les Nations unies. À lire aussiInondations en RDC: «Aujourd'hui, la ville de Kalemie est coupée en deux»

Avec en ligne de mire les élections législatives du 29 avril. Une campagne qui débute dans un climat pesant, après le vote en première lecture d'une nouvelle Constitution qui devrait faire passer le Togo d'un régime présidentiel à un régime parlementaire.Cependant, pour WakatSéra, au Burkina Faso, tout va bien… « Une campagne électorale inédite, avec passion, mais sans tension, se déroule actuellement au Togo, affirme le site burkinabé. C'est l'heureux constat que fait l'opinion, tant nationale qu'internationale ! Des caravanes de différents partis politiques se croisent, s'invectivent, se jaugent verbalement au flux des slogans débités et au bruit infernal des klaxons et vuvuzelas. Et, finalement, ils se jettent, souvent, les uns dans les bras des autres, s'offrant des gadgets de campagne aux couleurs de leurs partis et aux effigies de leurs candidats. […] Dans les prochains jours, poursuit WakatSéra, la [nouvelle] Constitution, à la suite de sa deuxième lecture, devrait être promulguée. Ce qui devrait donner un coup de boost supplémentaire à la campagne électorale, car tous les partis veulent avoir la majorité à l'Assemblée, afin de voir sortir de ses rangs un président du Conseil des ministres qui détiendra tous les pouvoirs, anciennement aux mains du chef de l'État dans le régime présidentiel. »Les jeux seraient-ils déjà faits ?Autre point de vue, bien différent, celui exprimé par l'historien Michel Adovi Goeh-Akue dans Le Point Afrique. Pour lui, les jeux sont déjà faits. « Si les prochaines élections se tiennent dans les mêmes conditions qu'auparavant, la majorité ne risque pas de changer de camp, affirme-t-il. L'ancien parti d'État, le RPT, devenu Union pour la République, ne cédera pas d'un pouce. Les résultats des élections seront toujours douteux étant donné la non-fiabilité des organes qui les organisent et qui les supervisent. Dans le cas du Togo, poursuit Michel Adovi Goeh-Akue, l'instabilité politique n'est pas liée aux échéances électorales. Le véritable problème est celui de l'absence d'alternance au pouvoir. Le passage d'un régime présidentiel ou semi-présidentiel à un régime parlementaire ne changera rien à la situation politique du pays. »Un journaliste français expulséÀ signaler qu'un journaliste français a été expulsé hier du Togo. L'information est reprise notamment par le site Ici Lomé. En reportage pour le magazine Afrique XXI, Thomas Dietrich a été arrêté en début de semaine et brutalisé par des policiers avant d'être condamné, mardi 16 avril, à six mois de prison avec sursis et expulsé du territoire.Les autorités togolaises l'accusent d'être entré au Togo en masquant sa qualité de journaliste. Reporters sans frontières « condamne fermement le traitement brutal et arbitraire infligé au reporter, ainsi que la décision de suspendre toutes les accréditations pour la presse étrangère, qui constituent des entraves inacceptables au droit à l'information. »Déluge dans l'est et le centre de l'AfriqueÀ la Une également, l'Afrique qui subit les conséquences du phénomène climatique El Niño. « L'Afrique de l'Est et l'Afrique centrale connaissent ces dernières semaines des pluies torrentielles, pointe Le Monde Afrique, qui ont causé la mort d'au moins 58 personnes en Tanzanie durant la première quinzaine d'avril et de 13 autres au Kenya. Au Burundi, l'un des 20 pays les plus vulnérables au changement climatique selon l'Organisation internationale pour les migrations, les pluies ont été quasiment ininterrompues depuis septembre. (…) On compte pas moins de 100 000 déplacés. »Et puis au Congo démocratique voisin, « la montée des eaux du lac Tanganyika depuis février continue de causer beaucoup dégâts matériels », relève le site congolais 7 sur 7. « Certains quartiers de la ville d'Uvira sont totalement inondés. »Dans le centre du pays, il y a aussi d'importants glissements de terrain dus aux pluies diluviennes, notamment à Lusambo, chef-lieu de la province du Sankuru. « Chaque goutte de pluie qui tombe semble sonner le glas d'une communauté déjà fragilisée. Si rien n'est fait rapidement, soupire 7 sur 7, la ville risque de devenir un symbole tragique de l'abandon et de la négligence. »Enfin, « si certains pays connaissent des inondations, d'autres font face à des sécheresses, relève Aujourd'hui à Ouaga. En Afrique australe, par exemple, une sécheresse grave liée à El Niño a plongé plus de 20 millions de personnes dans une famine aiguë. Le Zimbabwe a déclaré l'état de catastrophe nationale. »

The year is 1914. World War I has begun, and a German detachment from Tanganyika decides to wreak havoc in British East Africa,, beginning with the wanton destruction of Lord Greystoke's (Tarzan's) farm and property. Tarzan returns home from business to find his ranch smoldering, his livestock and property destroyed, and his Waziri guards dead. His wife Jane has been killed as well, burned beyond recognition in the fire. He vows revenge on the warring Germans. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

In the early 1930s, as the EMM launched its mission in Tanganyika, Ethiopia became a parallel interest. Struggling under Italian occupation from 1935, Ethiopia saw Emperor Haile Selassie I flee in 1936, only to return five years later to continue modernization efforts. Post-World War II, the Mennonite Church initiated a relief program in Nazareth, Ethiopia, marked by the establishment of the Haile Mariam Mammo Memorial Hospital in 1947. EMM deliberated on missionary work in Ethiopia, eventually sending Daniel and Blanche Sensenig in 1947 to lay the groundwork under a mandate that included educational and medical services alongside evangelism.

We are back with another WichiTalk Series where we will be going around to organizations in town to hear their histories first hand from those that work there and/or founded it. We sat down with Tanganyika Wildlife Park and Matt Fouts, Visionary and Director for the park and son of the founders. This was such a great conversation hearing not only the background of the park but also what is coming up next for them.

Discover the unexpected diversity, beauty, and strangeness of life in ancient lakes — some millions of years old — and the remarkable insights they yield about the causes of biodiversity. Most lakes are less than 10,000 years old and short-lived, but there is a much smaller number of ancient lakes, tectonic in origin and often millions of years old, that are scattered across every continent but Antarctica: Baikal, Tanganyika, Victoria, Titicaca, and Biwa, to name a few. Often these lakes are filled with a diversity of fish, crustaceans, snails, and other creatures found nowhere else in the world. In Our Ancient Lakes, biology professor Jeffrey McKinnon introduces the remarkable living diversity of these aquatic bodies to the general reader and explains the surprising, often controversial, findings that the study of their faunas yield about the formation and persistence of species. Shining a light on a class of biodiversity hot spot equivalent to coral reefs in the ocean or tropical rainforests on land, Our Ancient Lakes chronicles the often singular wonders of these venerable water bodies. Jeffrey McKinnon grew up reading Gerald Durrell and Farley Mowat, absorbing Jacques Cousteau and Marlin Perkins' teachings from the TV, and watching animals in the ditches, farmyards, forests, and tidepools of Western Canada. He received his BSc from the University of British Columbia and his Ph.D. from Harvard University.
