Much of this data was unknown and unpublished, to this day. It is fitting that the only Lebanese with such a wide and vast experience should have undertaken this valuable task. The love of people and the positive contribution they made to the building up of the SDA Church and its institutions is clearly evidenced in this book. Elder Nazirian's work will hopefully inspire other nationals to take over where he left off and build on the foundation that has been diligently laid. Many more questions will have to be addressed in order to further enrich our understanding of the history of the SDA Church in Lebanon. A vital point needs here to occupy our attention, which is the drastic depletion of church membership in Lebanon. This disturbing phenomenon is attributed to a number of factors, one of which is the protracted Lebanese war (1975-1991) that has caused mass emigration, mostly to the USA. As a result, the overall outreach program of the church has been hampered and it has contributed to a lack of sustained growth. In the light of this fact, it is incumbent upon us to face this very real problem with the determination to find a solution to it. We can take courage from the phenomenal growth of the SDA church in other countries where God's people have been faced with insuperable difficulties, but the Holy Spirit through the ministry of dedicated workers and laity has accomplished amazing things by bringing thousands of lost sheep into the safe fold of Christ. Surely what the Spirit of God has done elsewhere, He can also do for His church in Lebanon, provided we surrender all to Him, fully cooperate with Him, and equipped with His transforming power we rise to the challenge of fulfilling our divine mission and commission. It is the solemn responsibility of other national historians to dig deeper and to help the SDA Church in Lebanon to fully understand its past so that its future can be what God intends it to be. Claude Lombart, D.Min. East Mediterranean Field President Beirut, November 10, 1998 The story of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Lebanon (1897-1997) cannot be fully related in this concise book. Hence, I opted to present in the ensuing pages a concise summary of the origin and growth of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in this ancient Biblical land. I would also like to point out that in this book I have tried to record the essential facts of the history of the SDA church in Lebanon without duly dwelling upon the philosophy of mission adopted and followed by our church leaders and administrators who with God's help established the church and operated it. Besides, I have not identified the various factors that have impeded the progress of the work. I intend to objectively deal with this timely issue in a separate article. In the research process I am indebted to the following sources for substantial help: Dr. Baldur Ed. Pfeiffer's valuable book entitled The European Seventh-day Adventist Mission in the Middle East 1879-1939, Seventh-day Adventist Encyclopedia, Seventh-day Adventist Yearbooks, East Mediterranean Field Service Records, Middle East Union and East Mediterranean Field Committee Minutes, Middle East College Pine Echoes, Mildred Olson's Middle East Program presented at Middle East Fellowship in the USA (April 4-7, 1997), The Middle East Messenger (official organ of the Middle East Union Mission of Seventh-day Adventists, 1945-1970 issues), Impact (official organ of the Afro-Mideast Division of Seventh-day Adventists, 1971-1977 issues), and personal interviews with SDA employees and sustentees residing in Lebanon, as well as my own service in the church for over forty three years, that have provided information that is not available elsewhere. I am also thankful to Claude Lombart, President of the East Mediterranean Field, Raja Farah, Head of the Religion Department at Middle East College, Nabil Mansour, Editor of the Middle East Press, for reading the manuscript and offering constructive comments, and Jimmy Choufani, Director of Youth Ministries Department of the Middle East Union and the East Mediterranean Field, for the clerical work. It is hoped that these pages will achieve a twofold objective: To refresh our minds on God's marvelous leadership in the history of the Seventh-day Adventist Church in Lebanon encouraging us to face the future with absolute confidence in the ultimate triumph of His truth. To lead us into an experience of wholehearted dedication and commitment to God that will compel us to do our honest part in fulfilling Christ's commission (Mathew 28:18-20) in this generation. Manoug H. Nazirian Cedar of Lebanon: symbol of spiritual growth, strength, and fortitude (Psalm 92:12) Lebanon, a republic in the Middle East, is situated on the Eastern Shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Its area is LEBANON 10,452 sq. km. It is bounded by Syria on the north and east and by Israel on the south. Its population, composed of Christians and Muslims, is estimated at 4.5 million IN including the non-Lebanese residents. It is a member of the United Nations and the Arab League. THE BIBLE Lebanon is mentioned sixty-eight times in the Old Testament, and the name Phoenicia (ancient name of Lebanon) occurs three times only in the New Testament. The inspired writers of the Old Testament books refer to Lebanon for its natural beauty (Isaiah 35:1,2), for its snow and streams (Jeremiah 18:14), for its wild beasts, such as lions and leopards (2 Kings 14:9; Songs of Solomon 4:8), and for its majestic cedars and other trees - the fir, the pine, and the box (Songs of Solomon 5:15; Amos 2:9; Psalms 104:16; 2 Kings 19:23; Isaiah 60:13). We learn from 1 Kings 5:5-10 that King Solomon used timber of cedar from Lebanon to beautify the Lord's Temple in Jerusalem. Lebanon is noted for its important historic sites, such as the rock inscriptions at the Dog River (Naher El-Kalb), Byblos (Biblical Gebel), Baalbeck, Tyre, Sidon, and Zarephath, etc. Two inspired gospel writers, St. Matthew and St. Mark mention that during His Galilean ministry (A.D. 29-30), Christ visited the region of Tyre and Sidon, where He rewarded the faith of a Syro-phoenician woman by healing her devil-possessed daughter (Matthew 15:21-28; Mark 7:24-30). Furthermore, St. Luke tells us in Acts 21:3-6 that there was a Christian church in Tyre in the apostolic period.

It comes at a time when the country as a whole is torn into bits and pieces and when, following eleven years of war, the economy is in shambles: the industrial sector is virtually crippled, the wheels of commerce are slowly grinding to a halt, and the national currency is fast becoming worthless. In this tormented context, the construction sector, as will become apparent in the following pages, has incredibly maintained its resilience.

  • Alexander Svoboda 1897 Note
    CHAPTER NOTES Chapter Notes Chapter 1 Departure From Baghdad and Farewells ﺩﺍﻟﺴﻔﺮ ﻣﻦ ﺑﻐﺪﺍ ﻭﺍ ﻟﻤﻮﺍﺩﻋﺔ page 002 1. "Thirteenth of the month" Alexander is mistaken about the date, Wednesday was the 14th of the month. 2. Mule litter: (taḫterewān) From the Persian taḫt-e revān (taḫt meaning seat or throne, revān meaning moving). It was commonly used in Iraq, sometimes in the abbreviated form taḫt. In the English diary of the return journal, Alexander used the term teḫtersin, for which we have been unable to find any references. 3. Balioz: The word Balioz was originally the Turkish form of the title of the Baglio, the Venetian representative to the Ottoman court. In later years the word 'Balioz' became a vulgar term for any foreign consul. The British Consulate or Residency in Baghdad was commonly known among the inhabitants there as "the house of the Balioz". Here the term refers to the British Consul-General. 4. Colonel Edward Mockler: The British Consul General in Baghdad from 1892 to 1897, when he was replaced by Colonel William Loch and journeyed overland to Cairo with Alexander Richard Svoboda and his parents. Born in 1839, he served in several positions in the British Army in India and the Middle East. He was also a scholar and linguist.

  • July & August 2016
    The Maronite Voice A Publication of the Maronite Eparchies in the USA Volume XII Issue No. VII July - August 2016 The Martyrs uly is the month of the Massabki Martyrs: three brave lay men, who gave their lives in Jdefense of their faith. But more than that, they were businessmen and family men who modeled their faith at home, way before they paid the ultimate price of martyrdom. When we think of the Massabki Brothers, and all those who have witnessed to Christ and paid the ultimate price, we think how faithful they must have been. But martyrdom is not only about those who have received their crown; it is also about us. What are we doing to deserve a similar crown? Are we also that "faithful witness," as was Jesus in the Book of Revelations, willing to die, and just as important, willing to live and witness to "Jesus Christ, and him crucified"? The Holy Father, Pope Francis, calls upon us to be Christ's witnesses, just as he asked us in this Jubilee Year to be Christ's mercy. He often reminds us that the integrity of our lives, that is, the "consistency" or "coherence," as he likes to say, must include all that we say, do, and live, as well as the way we die, as consistent with our faith in Christ. Just as mercy is consistent with the Gospel of Christ, so too our witness to him must be consistent with our personal lives. We cannot say we believe in Christ, and then live as though Christ matters little in how we spend time, money, or make choices.
