Assyria: The Forgotten Nation in Prophecy!
ASSYRIA - THE FORGOTTEN NATION IN PROPHECY!
Reverend John Booko, an Assyrian American, has studied the Scriptures related to the Assyrian people in great depth, with its promise in Isaiah 19:23-25 which states:
"In that day there will be a highway from Egypt to
Assyria... in that day Israel will be the third, along with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing on the earth. The Lord Almighty will bless them, saying... Assyria my handiwork..." (NIV).
God used Assyria in the past when it was a powerful nation and He used Assyrians to spread the Gospel to faraway lands. So, He plans to use the restored Assyria in His future.
Over 150 times, the Bible refers to Assyria and the
Assyrians. Jesus grew up among the Assyrians in
Galilee and spoke the Assyrian language which is Aramaic. Jesus and the apostles preached in the Assyrian language and the New Testament was first written in the Assyrian language.
While persecution drove many Assyrian Christians from the areas of present-day Iraq, Turkey and Iran, they are being stirred by the Holy Spirit to again seek their destiny according to the Scriptures.
Might they be a missing piece in the Middle East puzzle?
