Obviously the meaning of "Ethiopia" is not understood by many. Ethiopia refers to the great continent of Africa and emphasizes the specific physical characteristics of its inhabitants such as language, hair, and skin. Ethiopia and the Ethiopian people are not "suddenly" reaching out to God, but HAVE BEEN reaching out to God amid the "seemingly" unfilled and unanswered prayer for true recognition. When will Homer's understanding of the race become true? When will Herodotus' characterization of Ethiopians as the race the gods selected as a people fit to be lifted to the levels of those fit to traffic with royalty? Are Ethiopians still seen as enemies of God and of His people? Great ones have come out of Egypt and Ethiopia and yet occupy but a minor role and recognition in the eyes and minds of men today. When will America begin to recognize the importance of the Negro and his influence on civilization? The world is suddenly reaching out to Africa as Africa continues to reach out to God.
