Seventh Day Sabbath Keepers in Africa have a rich historical legacy, from Ethiopia to Nigeria to South Africa. The 20 million Christian Sabbath-keepers in Africa demonstrate that the seventh day Sabbath is a mark of African consciousness, and independence from European civilization. “When Israel was a child, then I loved him, and called my son out of Egypt” (Hosea 11:1). “princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God” (Psalms 68:31). “From beyond the rivers of Ethiopia my suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, shall bring mine offering” (Zeph. 3:10). “Also the sons of stranger…every one that keepeth the Sabbath from polluting it, and taketh hold of my covenant; even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer” (Isa. 56:6,7).
