Cush, Mizraim, Phut and Canaan - all built long-lived kingdoms with their bare hands. Stone temples, massive pyramids, and palaces galore...but as the centuries unfolded, spiritual idolatry became an integral part of their cultures. Then, during the eighth century BC, God's servant Isaiah uttered a prophecy: the Hamites' idolatry would soon lead to chastisement. Tirhakah - king of Cush and Mizraim, inherited the sibling Hamitic kingdoms from his fathers. When it was his turn to face Assyria, the ancient world's greatest military force, Tirhakah found himself in danger of losing it all. His fight, though valiant, would be to no avail. The word of the Lord had indeed gone forth against the lands of Ham. Now, in modern times, Tirone Pulliam-Jones wanted nothing more than to relax and spend time with his girlfriend, Paulette during his spring break. But a student's question, posed right before the final bell leading up to break, forced the history teacher to research and write about the fall of Cush and Mizraim. A cultural demise his distant ancestors fought to thwart.
