Is Africa cursed?
THE BLACK RACE IN END TIME PROPHECIES.
Isaiah 19 contains prophecies referring to the black race in these end
times. The duo of biblical Egypt (i.e. Black Africa) and Assyria are
linked to Israel as a blessing to the whole world in those days (Isaiah
19:23-25. The following phenomena are prophesied about the black race in
these last days (see Isaiah 19 NKJV, GNB, TEV, and NIV): -
1. The Lord has a specific message (destiny) for the black race Isaiah
19:1a.
2. The Lord will visit the black race Isaiah 19:1, Ezek 30, Ps.68:1.
3. The idols/gods of the black race will tremble and totter before God’s
visitation 1s.19: 1c. Jer.43: 12-13, 46:25, Ezek.30: 13-19.
4. Even the black people who boast so much off their black magic will lose courage and confidence Isaiah 19:1d.
5. Civil wars will break up in Africa and among the black people 1saiah 19: 2 Eze.30
6. He will break the spirit of the black, frustrate its rebellion against God, and destroy the morale of idolatrous black race 1s.19: 3 Jeremiah 46, Ezekiel 30- to 32.
7. Idolatry, sorcery, necromancy and witchcraft will characterize the black people and its leadership. Isaiah 19:3.
8. Strangers, cruel task masters (IMF, World Bank, Arabs, Indians, Lebanese etc.) will rule over the continent of Africa. Isaiah 19:4.
9. Ecological disasters, famines unemployment and economic disasters will be the hallmark of Africa and black people Isaiah 19: 5-8, Lam. 5:2.
10. The middle class (wage earners, skilled work force) will be wiped out Is.19: 9-10.
11. There will be failure of political leadership, civil service and the academia. Is.19: 11-12
12. There will be perverseness, erroneous national plans, failed programs and budgets Isaiah 19:13.
13. Staggering nationhood, stunted growth, going round in cycles, slipping on our vomit and a spirit of foolishness on leaders, planners and counselors Is.19: 14.
14. Helplessness in all quarters – rich/poor intelligentsia /ignorant, noble/commoners, military/civilians. Is. 19:15.
15. An awareness of the spiritual origin of its problems will mark the turning point in Africa’s/blacks’ destiny. There will be a fear, trembling, reverence for God and His judgment Is.19: 16-17.18:1-8.16. There will then be a manifestation of the power of the church (Judah), and a terror of the church by idolatrous black race /Africa Is.19: 17.
17. There will then be the manifestation of the seven fold Spirit of God over Africa Isaiah 11:2-5. Also Isaiah 32:15.
18. Africa will then seek the Lord, call on the true God, speak a pure language (the language of Canaan). Is.19: 18, Zeph.3: 9.
19. Africa will be known for its altars of prayers to God 19:19, 56:7, 60:7
20. Bethels (Houses of God), pillars of covenants will spring up all over Africa / black race as symbol of God’s presence amidst her and her loyalty to God (19:19- 20, Gen.28: 18-22, 44-45).
21. Prayer, intercessions, supplications will go up to God from the land of Africa. Envoys, ambassadors & missionaries shall come up from the land of Ham.19: 20. Ps.68: 31, Is.18: 7.
22. God will raise up saviors and deliverers (Eliakims) for the black nations 19:20, 22:20-23, Isaiah 32:1-8, Zech.10: 3-8.
23. The Lord will reveal himself to Africa and the black race will acknowledge and worship Him (in place of idols, spirits and gods) Isaiah 19:21
24. Africa will enter into solemn covenants with the Lord, instead of with idols/gods and will keep the terms of their covenant with God Isaiah 19:21.
25. The Lord will strike and wound Africa but will heal her. Africa will turn to the Lord in repentance, God will hear our prayers and he will heal us. After two days (2000 years). He will revive us, on the third day (3rd millennium); He will raise Africa/black race up, that we
may live on His sight. Amen Isaiah 19:23 Hosea 6:1-3. Also Isaiah 30:15-26. Amen! Hallelujah!
26. A highway of the gospel between Africa and Iraq (Assyria, Babylon, and Persia) will exist that day 19:23 (see below).
27. There will be pilgrimages and spiritual retreats between these two peoples, and they will worship God together Isaiah 19:23.
28. Africa, together with Israel and Iraq (Persia, Assyria/Babylon) will be a blessing to the entire world Isaiah 19:24.
29. Africa will receive God’s blessing and be blessed of the Lord. Isaiah 19:24.
30. Africa will be adopted of the Lord Isaiah 19:25 Amen!
I am persuaded that so far the black race has fulfilled nos. 1 to 14 of this prophecy for “two days” (up to AD 2000 years). We are set to enter Nos. 15 to 30 in the “third day” (AD 2000 – 3000) (Hosea 6:1-2). Amen.

Dr Tayo Babalobi,
I’m writing to you to tell how I stumbled across your website about Isaiah 19. I had this dream early this morning about Isaiah 19. In my dream God told me that He vows a thousand times for every promise He gives out. He urged me to read Isaiah 19. I woke up from this dream with such a heavy desire to read Isaiah 19, so I did. I didn’t really understand because the only time the chapter mentions a vow is in Isaiah 19:21, but it seemed out of context with my dream. So I put my Bible away and went about my day.
Later, I was thinking about this email I had received from a friend. It talks about how we (Americans) are VERY blessed compared to those in Africa. I have been thinking about this email now for days and I started to wonder….why are we (Americans) blessed from birth into a nicer world? Is Africa cursed? Why? So I went online and I googled “Is Africa cursed” and it took me to your website….there it was again…ISAIAH 19!!
So I started to think about what God had told me in my dream….He said that He vows a thousand times for every promise He give out. What does this mean? How does it apply? Are things going to get better in Africa?
I tell you these things because maybe you can help me….if you have any insight at all, please write back.
Thank you,
With His Love,
Jess

Africa is no more blessed or cursed than Africa. It is a completely erroneous assumption that invalidates the Psalmists prophecy that all nations that forget God shall be turned into hell.To make America Gods “favourite” or more deserving of blessing than Africa is to promote racism, prejudice and intolerance, and a certain white racial smugness,whose only product is Pharisaism, not repentance.
Thank you Scavenger for your comments.
If Isaiah 19 is to be taken as a prophetic chapter against Idolatry, they I dont believe it should refer to the African Continent alone, because the scale of idolatry in other continents like in Asia is deeper than in the African continent.
There is no continent that does not have an Idolatrous past, and Africans more than any other race have turned to God in recent decades.
Even the ancestors of Abraham, the father of faith were Idolators, yet God still brought out Abraham, blessed his offsprings, and through his geanelogy the Messiah was born.
Isaiah 19 cannot probably refer to the African continent. My advice to Jess is that if God thro your dream told you to study Isaiah 19, and you are having problems understanding the passage, you should ask the Holy Spirit, to give you an understanding of the passage.

You cannot measure God’s blessing solely by material/monetary blessings. Sure, Americans (and many people across the world) eat and clothe themselves better, but many are spiritually dead and/or follow false religions. I consider a true born-again Christian to be blessed than anyone.
I visited a very poor leper colony in India. All these lepers were born-again Christians but guess what? They didn’t have enough food to eat but had huge smiles on their faces because they knew they had inherited eternal life and would live forever with Jesus Christ. I consider these lepers to be more blessed than all the billionaires and millionaires of the world combined.
This earth and whatever in it is temporary, but the Word of God will last forever an ever.
