May God bless Garang Anyieth and church leaders who brought him to Australia to visit South Sudanese and encourage them spiritually through this meaningful preaching.
Nathaniel Garang Anieth, the man who changed Dinka for better. I met him when he came to Kakuma Refugee Camp with my brother Dr. Ajuoi Magot Chol but never had a chance to chat with him. My people, Jesus is like a portable hand device, He is with you everywhere, just trust in Him and you shall respect and love those around you. So my people, why are we killing each other in South Sudan?
Daniel, where and when was this, please? Plus, could you kindly grant us permission to share it in different formats for the same sole purpose of evangelization as Faithbook Mission?
US so called Dinka and Nuer are not Nilotic people; we are the descendants of ancient Hebrews. We call ourselves Monyjang and Naath meaning Men of Men, Lords of Men, or Masters of Humanity. During the colonial time, two British anthropologists: E. E. Evans-Pritchard and Godfrey Lienhard throughly studied our cultural and religious practices. They were shock that our cultural and religious practices were pure Hebrew customs: E. E. Evans-Pritchard author of 'Nuer Religion' stated: I am, of course, well aware that Nuer religion is very unlike what we know in general about Negro religions. One cannot even say that it is a typical Nilotic religion. It is certainly very unlike the religion of the Anuak, of the Luo of Kenya, of the Acholi, of the Alur, or of the Shilluk. Indeed, only the religion of the Dinka can be said to have strongly marked affinities with it, and it can be further said that in some respects the religions of these two peoples resemble less other Negro religions than some of the historic religions. They have features which bring to mind the Hebrews of the Old Testament. Professor C. G. Seligman clearly sensed this, as his account of the Dinka and Nuer shows; and Miss Ray Huffman, an American Presbyterian missionary who spent many years among the Nuer, remarks that 'the missionary feels as if he were living in Old Testament times, and in a way this is true' (p. vii). After examining our religion outlook, they discovered that our account of creation, God, sin, and other accounts resemblance Biblical accounts. According to my fathers, Nhialic (whom we referred to as 'Nhialic Wa' meaning God my father) created Garang (man) dust of the ground and breathe his into the man life. And afterwards, Nhialic took Garang rib and formed Abuk (female). The two first couple. According to our fathers, Abuk disobeyed Nhialic and ate of the forbidden fruit and Garang also ate, thus by sin enter to the world. Before this sin, according to our fathers, there was no hardship or death. These came into being to due Garang and Abuk transgression against Nhialic. One reading can see resemblance of Monyjang and Naath to Biblical account of creation of man and the inception of sin in to the world. Also according to my forebears, my ancestors were enslaved in Egypt for 400 years and were delivered by Nhialic's mighty hands. Nhialic used individual by the name of Aiwel Longar to take my forebears out of Egypt to the land of Canaan, Longer divided the Reed Sea with Nhialic helped thus allowing my ancestors escaped from the Egyptians who were pursuing them. Again these these stories are exactly the biblical accounts. Like ancient Hebrews, the Priests whom we call Bany Biths ( hereditary meaning pass down from father to son ) were responsible for performing sacrificial rites. No one but a Bany Bith (a priest) can perform religious duties (sacrificial rites, blessing warriors before war, settling disputes, blood feud, etc). Bany Bith are seen as Nhialic's representative on earth, thus they have the power to bless and to curse and to heal. We also believed in prophets whom we call Raan Nhialic (a man of God). Unlike Bany Biths (priests), prophets (Raan Nhialic) are rare, they only appear during time of trouble, bring massages from Nhialic. Raan Nhialic will explain to the people why Nhailic has brought trouble among the people and what people need to do propitiate the Divine wrath. As one can see our account resemblance the ancient Hebrews is no wonder why Evans Pritchard said that the religion these two people (Monyjang and Naath) " the religions of these two peoples resemble less other Negro religions than some of the historic religions. They have features which bring to mind the Hebrews of the Old Testament." Our cultural and religious practices resemblance ancient Hebrews because we Monyjang and Naath are their descendants who were exiled to Cush. Isaiah 11:11, Amos 9:7, Zephaniah 3:10 and Isaiah 18 all speaks about us the Hebrews that were exiled to Cush sometime referred to in the Bible as (Ethiopia). According to our forefathers, there were three distinct migrations to the Cush land. Monyjang and Nuer consists clans that trace their fathers to these Hebrew tribes: Judah, Levi, Reuben, Benjamin, Dan.
