The true history of Jesus Christ

Nubia - Christian Kingdoms in the Heart of Africa

Kings and Generals animated historical documentary series on the history of ancient civilizations continues with a video on the Kingdom of Nubia - a rich civilization that started during the Bronze Age as Kerma and then became one of the first Christian realms, forming a unique brand of this religion based on local traditions. This kingdom in the heart of Africa managed to keep its faith despite Muslim expansion and even stemmed it for a time.

In the 8th century BCE, he noted, Kushite rulers were crowned as Kings of Egypt, ruling a combined Nubian and Egyptian kingdom as pharaohs of Egypt's 25th Dynasty. Those Kushite kings are commonly referred to as the “Black Pharaohs” in both scholarly and popular publications.

The Nubians originate from the central Nile valley area so they can begin farming. They played a major role across the history of ancient Egypt and during the medieval period, converted to Christianity and formed three kingdoms called Nobatia, Makuria, and Alodia. The Nubian people also practice Islam.

The Book of Ecclesiasticus is a Jewish work originally in Hebrew from approximately 200 to 175 BCE, written by the Jewish scribe Ben Sira of Jerusalem, on the inspiration of his father Joshua son of Sirach.

In Egypt, it was translated into Greek by the author's unnamed grandson, who added a prologue. This prologue is generally considered the earliest witness to a canon of the books of the prophets, and thus the date of the text is the subject of intense scrutiny. The book itself is the largest wisdom book from antiquity to have survived.

This is the holy book of Matthew, known as "The Gospel According to Saint Matthew".

The recording is dramatized, from the King James Bible.

This is, in my opinion, the best and most beautiful recording of the King James Bible in existence.

Thanks, blessings, honor, glory, and power to the most high God, who is the almighty creator and author of these books.

This Ethiopic version of the Book of Enoch is deemed by scholars to be older by several centuries than the Slavonic one, and portions of that older version are in turn known to have been based on even older manuscripts, such as a lost Book of Noah. Fragments of the Enoch books were discovered among the Dead Sea scrolls. The astronomical-calendrical tale of Enoch thus goes back into great antiquity - perhaps, as the Bible asserts, to pre-Diluvial times.

Mental health includes our emotional, psychological, and social well-being. It affects how we think, feel, and act. It also helps determine how we handle stress, relate to others, and make healthy choices.1 Mental health is important at every stage of life, from childhood and adolescence through adulthood.

Although the terms are often used interchangeably, poor mental health and mental illness are not the same. A person can experience poor mental health and not be diagnosed with a mental illness. Likewise, a person diagnosed with a mental illness can experience periods of physical, mental, and social well-being.

Why is mental health important for overall health?

Mental and physical health are equally important components of overall health.  For example, depression increases the risk for many types of physical health problems, particularly long-lasting conditions like diabetes, heart disease, and stroke. Similarly, the presence of chronic conditions can increase the risk for mental illness.

Can your mental health change over time?

Yes, it’s important to remember that a person’s mental health can change over time, depending on many factors.  When the demands placed on a person exceed their resources and coping abilities, their mental health could be impacted. For example, if someone is working long hours, caring for a relative, or experiencing economic hardship, they may experience poor mental health.

How common are mental illnesses?

Mental illnesses are among the most common health conditions in the United States.

More than 50% will be diagnosed with a mental illness or disorder at some point in their lifetime.31 in 5 Americans will experience a mental illness in a given year.41 in 5 children, either currently or at some point during their life, have had a seriously debilitating mental illness.51 in 25 Americans lives with a serious mental illness, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, or major depression.

What causes mental illness?

There is no single cause for mental illness. A number of factors can contribute to risk for mental illness, such as

Early adverse life experiences, such as trauma or a history of abuse (for example, child abuse, sexual assault, witnessing violence, etc.)

Experiences related to other ongoing (chronic) medical conditions, such as cancer or diabetes

Biological factors or chemical imbalances in the brain

Use of alcohol or drugs

Having feelings of loneliness or isolation.

The fact that we are living in the last days and seeing the signs being fulfilled before our eyes, does not mean that everything is smooth sailing for us. On the contrary, we can become discouraged, depressed and even scared. So how do we prepare for the latter rain when all seems to fall apart? How do we arise and shine to take the light to the world?
