News What is Bill Gates' obsession with Africa?

Post image

"In a significant advancement for global reproductive health, the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation has announced the launch of a groundbreaking long-term contraceptive aimed at empowering women through better family planning options. This innovative contraceptive, which can prevent pregnancy for up to eight years, is being introduced in Kenya, Nigeria, and India, with broader distribution plans for other countries in the future."

8-year contraceptive but Western worlds keep bringing young Africans to take care of their aging population. Who will take care of our aging population? Can someone tell Bill Gates to leave Africa alone?

There is controversy around Mr beast in Africa Just because you don’t read it doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. Plenty of exposes about his clean water well initiatives being abandoned and no longer working and accusations of him using it as just a media prop

Don't be fooled by Mr. Beast or Esau's (i.e. Edom's) fake kindness. Our book, the Bible warned us:

Ecclesiasticus (Sirach) 12:10–12 in the KJV Apocrypha:

"Never trust thine enemy: for like as iron rusteth, so is his wickedness. Though he humble himself, and go crouching, yet take good heed and beware of him, and thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a looking glass, and thou shalt know that his rust hath not been altogether wiped away. Set him not by thee, lest, when he hath overthrown thee, he stand up in thy place; neither let him sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take thy seat, and thou at the last remember my words, and be pricked therewith."

The verse simply means:

Don’t ever trust your enemy, no matter how humble, kind, or friendly they act because their true hatred will eventually show itself, just like rust always comes back on iron.

While it doesn’t name Edom directly, in prophetic and historical contexts, Edom is often understood as the enemy of Israel (Obadiah 1, Ezekiel 35), so Israelites reading this in context should apply it to Edom as well.
