Chaldean Language                                          

 

Premise 

Our Children are the flowers of our nation and of our church.  Young children in kindergarten, as they learn values and respect the culture and traditions of the family, they will arrive at an understanding of the glorious history of our country:  ancient Mesopotamia, where Abraham was born and where Scripture places the Garden of Eden.

We are profoundly grateful to the leaders of this province and to our new country Canada for the support and care given in favor of the education of our children.  It is important that our children acquire knowledge and skills to serve them in their daily life.  But it is indispensable that they learn The Truth about who they are as children of God and as members of the human family.

The prophet HABAKUK wrote (Chapter 1:6-7) about the Chaldeans between 605-597 B.C. sayings:

"Thus said the Lord, I am raising up Chaldea, the people that marches the breadth of the land.  Swifter than leopards are his horses, and keener than wolves at evening.  His horse’s prance, his horsemen come from afar:  They fly like the eagle hastening to devour.  Then he veers like the wind and is gone."
