Glory to God! I trust you’re well and denying yourself, taking up your Cross daily and following the Example of the Lord Jesus Christ so you can rule and reign with Him in this world and the World to Come.
I shared this word on 31 January 2020:
BEGINNING
I am avenging the souls of indigenous populations. We should therefore expect those who suffered greatly under slavery, colonisation, and apartheid to be recompensed for their losses.
We’ll begin to see government after government turn their focus on their indigenous populations and recompense them for their losses. Land will be returned, patents will be returned, resources will be returned, and guilt will be admitted by many governments.
END
The Netherlands has just apologised for their role in the slave trade.
‘More than 600,000 people from Africa and Asia were trafficked by Dutch merchants between the 17th and 19th Centuries.
During the 17th Century, the Netherlands was one of the most prosperous trading nations in the world, in a period known as the “Golden Age” that saw huge advancements in science and culture.
Huge wealth was generated through state-mandated enslavement and exploitation.
Enslaved men, women and children were forced to work on sugar, coffee and tobacco plantations, in mines and as household slaves in the “New World”, colonised land in the Americas and Caribbean. They were subjected to extreme physical, mental and sexual violence.
In the western province of Holland alone, a Dutch Research Council study found 40% of economic growth between 1738 and 1780 could be attributed to slavery.’ – BBC News.
Some see this as a step in the right direction, however, some consider it insufficient since the apology did’t come with reparations.
This is likely to put other nations that benefited from the slave trade under pressure to at least apologise. We also know that the Lord has already spoken about the UK being called to account for their involvement in colonisation, and how their former colonies will require reparations later on.
I would like to thank God for the Mercy of His Foreknowledge. I give Him all the Praise and all the Honour. No Prophecy ever originated from anyone but God Himself. God never lies. Glory to God!
