Luke 4:6,7 - Then the Devil said to man, “I will give you all this authority and their glory, because it has been handed over to me and I give it to whomever I wish. You, therefore, if you do an act of worship before me it will all be yours.” For over 5000 years the blood of man has saturated the earth with disgrace; man’s heart has not altered from his shameful inclinations. For it was foretold: Greed becomes a dominant factor and turns man’s heart cold “…man has dominated man to his injury.” – Ecclesiastes 8:9 AFRICA the origin of man; Kemet, Egypt, the land of the Blacks, where warrior kings and queens ruled and willingly died defending their motherland.

She proudly confirms: “I will die a warrior’s death!” A blessing await her, an eight year of girl, Da`Zah. “NAKUPENDA!” 986 BC: The fire burns as Da`Zah dances on the night of her wedding. Her alluring and rhythmical hips sway with every beat of the African drums pounding as each cloud slowly drifts beyond the full moon. Her face is painted with the symbols of her desire, welcoming their first night together. Although she is still a child, tonight she becomes a woman. “…OF THE SEVENTH DAUGHTER” - Unfathomable tribulations and invasions continue to erupt across Africa as blood nourishes its soil. The devastation is unimaginable. 534 BC, A 112-year-old woman declares: “I am Etcha, the medicine woman and a friend of the spirits. I am the eyes of the village, as my mother was and her mother before her.” Her eyelids flutter and eyes roll, as she continues: “…It was a warm and peaceful night as I sat in front of my unlit cooking-pot. Suddenly, fire appears, blazing unusually high. The fire was as if, it wasn’t a fire at all. …I placed my hand inside; the fire was cool to my skin…the fire tell many things.” Daniel 11:3 - A mighty king will rule with extensive dominion and do according to his will… Daniel 11:4 - …his kingdom will be broken and divided toward the four winds of the heaven. 356 BC Alexander is born and destined to become “Great.” After his death and the assassination of his two sons, by 301 BC Alexander’s four generals take control of his vast empire. One great kingdom now becomes four. War, betrayal, and greed are inevitable amongst the four kingdoms, becoming three - the Roman Empire emerges / European and Anglo-American nation. Africa’s invasion continues: thousands are kidnapped, locked behind the horrid stone structured door that sits on the shoreline of Goree Island, referred to by Africans as The Island of Death, the Island of Gloom, and the Door of No Return. The battle for control intensifies as nations seek its precious commodity, black bodies, human bondage.
