THE SEVENTH CHURCH CONT..

From Kalenjin dialects again we find examples of
the usage of “ka” in many names of places.
Examples include: Kabarnet (Barnet’s place) or
Kabarak (an elevated place). This is not only so in
Kalenjin language but many other African
languages. In Ateso, the language of the Iteso
people of Kenya and Uganda, Kaukotoit, like
Kabarak means an elevated place. From these
examples it would not be difficult to deduce that
Karachuonyo in Luo language means “Rachuonyo’s
place”.
Over the years, Africa has experienced migrations.
At the same time immigrations took place by way of
colonialism and the Arab conquests of North Africa
to cite a few examples.
Despite these, the prophetic meanings of Ham,
Cush, and Egypt remain. The Egyptians are the
descendants of Mizriam and Ham – regardless of
where they reside today.
The same applies to Israel for instance. Israel was
the name of a person who was also called Jacob.

Today, Israel are a nation of people living inside
and outside the country that we call Israel.
Similarly Gikuyu was a name of a man. His
descendants are now called Kikuyu (or Agikuyu).
From Isaiah 19:20, some Bible readers still argue
that the savior sent to Egypt was Jesus, because in
their opinion, Jesus was sent to all nations. As shall
be clarified in the next chapters, the same Bible
does not support this logic. Jesus Christ, at the time
of his life in the earth was sent to minister to one
nation only. Israel. At no time was Jesus sent to
Egypt to minister to people, or to rescue people
who were being oppressed, as Isaiah indicates.
That Jesus Christ is the son of God is not in
dispute. He is. In this time we are saved not by
believing in Jesus only, but the Father, the Son,
and Holy Spirit. (Matt 28:19). The present times are
those of the Father and even Jesus taught people
to worship the Father (John 4:24).
In this time, God’s people are expected not just to
believe in, but work with Jesus. Not just to await his
return, but know that he already has come and is in
our midst.
In this time, like every other time documented in the
Bible, God’s people should be led not by academic
degrees in theology, but the testimony of Jesus, the
spirit of prophecy (Rev 19:10). The Word of God is
not an academic discipline. A professor of theology

cannot translate a dream of a pagan let alone a
vision from God.
