I recently read about the Temptleton $1.4 million prize for best contribution to religion.
For about 8 years, I have been working on a writing project in which I began to be interested in making a "geographical Bible"--use verses from the Bible and add hundreds of little maps in everywhere to show where the characters in the text are then located.
So I came one day to Egypt with Jacob and his 11 sons' families, after Joseph had become vice-Pharaoh in Egypt, and Joseph settled the Israelites in the land of Goshen.
Problem was, I did not know where the land of Goshen was in Misr Egypt.
So from that original idea to find the land of Goshen has spun of a book called In Search of the Land of Goshen, which basically evolved into how the the sources of the Nile were discovered.
The book is extremely timely because it deals with the relationship between Islamic Arabs and European Christians, beginning with the Christian army of Napoleon taking Misr Egypt from the Islamic mamelukes in 1798-1799.
Already in the 1800s, Darfur was being devastated by Islamic Arab slave traders, but Christians were buying slaves too. But when European Christian explorers finally went into northeast Africa in the 1850s and 1860s, the bruatality involved with the slave trade became known to Christian Europe and Christian North America, and to the honor of Christian Europe and America, they tried to put a stop it.
Back then, in the 1870s and 1880s, there was also a Mahdi army, just like the al Madhi army of Sadr in Iraq. The Mahdi army of Abdullah in the 1870s and 1880s "cleansed" Sudan of the infidel Turk Misr Egyptians and of the infidel Christian Eurpeans, and beheaded the famed Bible-soldier Governor-General Charles Gordon at Khartoum.
Then Mahdi Abdullah sent a letter to Queen Victoria and to Ottoman Turk Khedive-Pasha at Cairo to present themselves at once in Omdurman (the Arab counterpart of Khartoum) and "become a Mulsim."
I intend to show them otherwise. I might also start a travel agency to the land of Goshen and lecture from my book.
And last anyway, because I mention the Israelites a lot dwelling in the land of Goshen, I could be killed over this book. There are forces in this world who are even trying to deny that Shemite Israel EVER dwelled in the land of Goshen in Hamite Misr Egypt. And I will quote it to them from the Hebrew Old Testament.
And this is only Module 2. Module 3 will be the Israelites exodus from Egypt to opposite Jericho. Much of that is written already.
And Module 1 will be from Ur in the Persian Gulf to Jacob going into Egypt, which starts Module 2, In Search of the Land of Goshen[/b].
It could win the $1.4 Templeton prize for best contribution to religion. I'm telling you, the LORD will yet bless me for being faithful. He promised, and I believe it.
If I had not become a Christian, I would have never had the idea to make a "geographical Bible" with hundreds of little maps scanned in.
And if I had not had the idea to make a "geographical Bible", I would have never had the idea to write [i]In Search of the Land of Goshen. IS THE LORD BLESSING OR WHAT!
May the God Elohim of Israel bless us. BORN AGAIN in the USA by the ![[Cross]](graemlins/cross.gif) of Lord God Yeshua-Jesus.
