How Kingdom Code explains it

While Western prophecy teachers fixate on Tel Aviv, the Bible consistently points to another land as the focus of God’s end-time gathering. The prophetic finger points to the land “beyond the rivers of Cush”—the historical land of Ethiopia, a biblical synecdoche for Africa.

Verses

From the boundaries of the rivers of Ethiopia will I receive my dispersed ones; they shall offer sacrifices to me.

Zephaniah 3:10, Septuagint

1 Woe to you, ye wings of the land of ships, beyond the rivers of Ethiopia.

2 He sends messengers by the sea, and paper letters on the water: for swift messengers shall go to a lofty nation, and to a strange and harsh people. Who is beyond it? a nation not looked for, and trodden down.

Isaiah 18:1–2, Septuagint
