Battle of Rorke’s Drift

Today marks the 132nd anniversary of the end of the two-day-long Battle of Rorke’s Drift. This battle took place during the Anglo-Zulu War in 1879. One hundred and fifty British soldiers holed up in a fortified farming compound and defeated and drove off three to four thousand Zulu warriors fresh from their victory against a much larger force of British  men at the Battle of Isandlwana. This is an inspiring story of European ingenuity, bravery, and resolve. I highly encourage you to take time this week to watch (or re-watch) the 1964 movie Zulu depicting this historic battle.

When the Most High gave to the nations their inheritance, when he divided mankind, he fixed the borders of the peoples according to the number of the sons of God. - Deuteronomy 32:7-8
