Covenant University's Notable Judeo-Christian Architecture (Photos)

One of the exciting things about Canaanland Nigeria is it's acknowledgement of the Jewish roots of Christianedom in the Architecture.

To understand the Judeo-Christian inspiration behind Covenant University, we need to first understand the physical context of the university. Canaanland Ota was procured in the 90s and immediately the land was bought the church divided it into four parts of

1) Shiloh: This today is where the faith tabernacle is situated.
2) Moriah: This today is where the Faith Academy is Situated
3) Rehoboat Gilead: This today is where Pastors Reside in Canaanland
4) Hebron: This today is where my Almamater, Covenant University is situated.

Today I would be focusing on Hebron or more popularly known as Covenant University - The Birth Place Of Kings and Queens!

The Real Hebron is the site of the oldest Jewish community in the world, which dates back to Biblical times. The Book of Genesis relates that Abraham purchased the field where the Tomb of the Patriarchs is located as a burial place for his wife Sarah. According to Jewish tradition, the Patriarchs Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and the Matriarchs Sarah, Rebekah, and Leah are buried in the Tomb.

Hebron has a long and rich Jewish history. It was one of the first places where the Patriarch Abraham resided after his arrival in Canaan. King David was anointed in Hebron, where he reigned for seven years.

Hebron contains many sites of Jewish religious and historical significance, in addition to the Tomb of the Patriarchs. These include the Tombs of Othniel Ben Kenaz (the first Judge of Israel) and Avner Ben Ner (general and confidante to Kings Saul and David), and Ruth and Jesse (great-grandmother and father, respectively, of King David)...

Numbers 13:22 states that (Canaanite) Hebron was founded seven years before the Egyptian town of Zoan, i.e. around 1720 BCE, and the ancient (Canaanite and Israelite) city of Hebron was situated at Tel Rumeida.



Covenant University today prides herself in training Kings and Queens of Hebron(Put in Mind that Hebron is Where King David became Anointed) hence The So Much Emphasis on Judaist Architecture. Worthy of note is also that Neither Covenant or the affiliate owners(Winners Chapel) convey the practice of Judaism nor honour it's festivals because mainstream Christian Ministries see Judaism as a Predecessor of Christianity and not an Alternate Religion. In many ways Christianity is an Evolution of Judaism hence it is still interesting to see an acknowledgement of the Old Testament or Torah in Covenant University's physical Architecture.
