As tensions continue to escalate along the
Ukraine-Russia border with the threat of
war looming large and international
concern rising, it has been revealed that
Prophet TB Joshua of the Synagogue
Church in Lagos had actually predicted
the crisis several months ago.
“Pray for the nation, Russia, because I am
seeing war coming against them,”
Nigerian Pastor T.B. Joshua told his
congregation at The Synagogue, Church
Of All Nations (SCOAN) on Sunday 29th
December 2013.
"Their leader will face opposition. Pray for
them," he continued in a ‘prophetic’
message that was broadcast live via his
religious television station Emmanuel TV,
viewed by millions across the world.
It is not the first time T.B. Joshua has
gone on record to give predictions about
world events. He is said to have accurately
foretold the sudden death of Malawi’s
late leader, Bingu wa Mutharika, the
terrorist attack in Boston and the demise
of pop legend Michael Jackson.
At the time of the ‘prophecy’, protests
were on and tensions were steadily
brewing in Ukraine over people’s
discontent with Russian influence and the
refusal of their government to work with
the EU. However, few thought it would
result in the fatal riots, ensuing military
activity and war rhetoric that has
unfolded in recent days.
In Africa where his following includes
several influential politicians and
celebrities, Prophet TB Joshua’s words are
taken with utmost seriousness. Malawian
leader Joyce Banda was a guest at
Joshua’s church on the day he is said to
have made the public prediction about
Russia. South Sudanese Vice President
James Wani Igga was at The SCOAN on
Sunday 2nd March 2014 where Joshua led
public prayers for the world’s newest
nation.
