In the year 1998 I prophesied that Afghanistan's nation would change and that there "Government would be uprooted before a great change". At the time I prophesied this, I felt as if I was in a desert prophesying the word of the LORD or on top of a mountain. It was the most unique experience I had in prophecy. The Spirit of the LORD kept telling me that he was concerned for Afghanistan and told me that he was going to change the nation. As time unfolds before our reality, this 3 year prophecy eventually happened. In 1998 I prophesied that Afghanistan would be forever changed and a different government would be established. In 2001 when America was attacked, the word of the LORD was fulfilled as Afghanistan's nation went under serious changes and also by the dethroning of their current government at the time. I announced this word at my Church and it was witnessed by many people in leadership as I spoke the oracles of God. I was more amazed when it came to pass, because this was really when I first started growing in the prophetic. 10 years later I am still prophesying and enjoy helping people-Stephen Choate. Afghanistan, officially the Islamic Republic of Afghanistan , is a landlocked country that is located approximately in the center of Asia. It is variously designated as geographically located within Central Asia, South Asia,Middle East. It has religious, ethno-linguistic, and geographic links with most of its neighboring states. It is bordered by Pakistan in the south and east, Iran in the west, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan in the north, and China in the far northeast. The name Afghanistan means the "Land of Afghans." and the Afghanistan is a culturally mixed nation, a crossroads between the East and the West, and has been an ancient focal point of trade and migration. It has an important geostrategical location, connecting South, Central and Southwest Asia. During its long history, the land has seen various invaders and conquerors, while on the other hand, local entities invaded the surrounding vast regions to form their own empires. Ahmad Shah Durrani created the Durrani Empire in 1747, with its capital at Kandahar. Subsequently, the capital was shifted to Kabul and most of its territories ceded to former neighboring countries. In the late 19th century, Afghanistan became a buffer state in "The Great Game" played between the British Indian Empire and Russian Empire. On August 19, 1919, following the third Anglo-Afghan war, the country regained full independence from the United Kingdom over its foreign affairs.  Since the late 1970s Afghanistan has suffered continuous and brutal civil war, which included foreign interventions in the form of the 1979 Soviet invasion and the recent 2001 U.S.-led invasion that toppled the Taliban government. In late 2001 the United Nations Security Council authorized the creation of an International Security Assistance Force (ISAF). This force is composed of NATO troops that are involved in assisting the government of President Hamid Karzai in establishing the writ of law as well as rebuilding key infrastructures in the nation. In 2005, the United States and Afghanistan signed a strategic partnership agreement committing both nations to a long-term relationship. In the meantime, multi-billion US dollars have also been provided by the international community for the reconstruction of the country.  |
