Africa's Prophecy

Hear the words of the poet, O ye nations and declare it in the lands afar and say, He that scattered Africa will gather him and keep him as a shepherd does to his flock. For the Lord hath redeemed Africa, and ransomed him from the hands of the oppressor. Therefore they shall come and sing to the Lord And shall flow together to the goodness of the lord. For wheat, and wine, and for oil, And for the young of the flock and of the herd. And their soul shall be as watered garden, And they shall sorrow no again. Thus said the Lord, refrain your voice from weeping and your eyes from tears, For thy work shall be rewarded said the Lord. And they Which were taken shall come again from the land of their oppressors. And in the end, there’s Hope, said the Lord. That thy children shall come again to their own border. Upon this I awakened, and beheld and my dream was sweet unto me.
