The place of Israel in the modern world is one that confuses many, be they believers or otherwise. What do Goshen, Entebbe ‘76, Uasin-Gishu, the Prime Meridian, and the Nile Delta have to do with each other? Is Israel simply a historical relic, limited to the Old Testament in the Bible? Is the modern State of Israel simply a usurper? Do modern-day Jews in Israel and the Diaspora have any relationship with the ones mentioned in scripture? What is the place of other countries, particularly African nations, in the past and present-day status of Israel? Using contemporary, historical, geographical and scriptural insights, David Sseppuuya attempts to answer these questions and point to what the Lord had in mind when He pronounced Israel His first-born nation.
