I am not here to condemn, criticize or judge my people in any way, but I want us to look side by side what I am trying to present here. I tread carefully on this issue so as not to inflict wounds on already wounds.

Biafra is different from the nation of Igbo. While Biafra is either an ideology or a religion as the IPOB Leader calls it, it is not the original identity of Igbo people. God created all nations and divided them by boundaries and borders and know their names, and their gods. In Psalm 82, we see where God was chastising the gods of the Heathen nations for their injustice and unjust judgments against the poor, the needy… and condemned them to death, even to die like men. He declared that He will judge and inherit all the nations of the world. He thus, chose Israel or the Hebrews as His choice nation and entered covenant of ownership with them to be His Priestly nation/His light for the rest of the world. He made them head over all the nations of the world.

Igbos are Hebrews by origin. The Hebrew word for "Hebrew" is עברי / eevriy and comes from the root word עבר / avar which means, "to cross over." Abraham, our fore-father was called a

Hebrew.
One who had escaped came and reported this to Abram the Hebrew (Genesis 14.13)

A Hebrew is "one who has crossed over." One of Abraham's ancestors was Eber (עבר), meaning Hebrew because it has the same root word as aver. (In Hebrew language, both V and B have the same letter as Beyt or vet: ב. It is the pictograph of a tent. It’s pronounced B when at the beginning of words, but V when within words). So avar and abar, means the same thing…to cross over.

When the LORD started revealing to me the identity of my people, Igbos: He opened my eyes to understand the Scriptures from Genesis to Revelation without having to read page by page. The entire Bible is about God’s covenant with His people, His Israel. All the Prophets prophesied the same thing: Christ and His coming Kingdom which is the restoration of the lost Eden. After the fall of man, God instituted a blood sacrifice for the restoration of both man and the Garden so that from the first Adam to the second Adam, the LORD Jesus Christ, it’s all about the complete restoration of man to his glory and of the Garden (God’s Holy Mountain) so that God will eventually Tabernacle with man again on Earth as He did in the Garden of Eden before the fall of man, in Moses Tabernacle, Solomon’s Temple, Tabernacle of David. So, Hebrew started from Adam because, man crosses over to God through the covenant, which is established and rectified through blood sacrifices. After the fall of man, God established the blood sacrifice of animal without blemish, first for Adam and his wife and down the line. Abel picked it up, Seth, Enoch….Noah…Abraham…Moses.... All blood sacrifices from Adam to Moses…even after the exile …all pointed to the sacrifice of Christ as the perfect Lamb of God for humanity. He came to restore both man and the Earth so His Kingdom will come and reign forever over the Earth.

Now, Hebrews as God’s people, though they broke God’s covenant and were scattered across the globe, but God swore an oath that if any one can change His covenant of night and day, so that there will neither be night or day in their seasons, then may His covenant be changed that Israel will be a nation again. Israel is Hebrews, we know that. Israel was so named because, Jacob prevailed with God and was transformed from a wrestler, a deceiver, a schemer to a Prince. The LORD Jesus Christ wrestled and nestled in the Garden of Gethsemane when He pleaded with God to find another way to satisfy the demands for the redemption of mankind. That was when He called God: Abba. Hebrew word for Abba means, Father. He always addressed God as Father, but this time He was addressing God’s character as the Leader and strength of the House. ABBA consists of the first two letters of Hebrew alphabet: Aleph and Beyt. Aleph, which is the fist letter of the Hebrew Alphabet represents God the Father, as the Head of the House, while Beyt which is pictured as a Tent represents the LORD Jesus Christ, who is the Head of God’s Household. Aleph, as ox-head is the Strength of the House, the Leader of the House, the head of the Household. That is the meaning of Father. So, Abba means Father, the strength of the House. So, God the Father (Aleph) is the strength of Beyt (House). The LORD Jesus calling on ABBa was asking Him as the Leader with whom all things are possible, to make a substitute arrangement that would stop Him from going to the Cross, but ABBA the strength of the House, strengthened Him to go through the cross because, Jesus was made manifest for the purpose of the redemption of man through the cross, and to destroy all the works of the enemy and obtain victory and redemption for humanity, through the cross

The Strength of the House granted Him the strength, the grace to prevail over death on the cross as He yielded to Him for Strength. He was therefore, worthy to become the Head, the Prince of all mankind, just as Jacob prevailed with God and man and became the Prince, Israel. The LORD Jesus is now the restored Israel through His obedience unto death on behalf of mankind. Israel now has been Redeemed to become a holy nation again. The price has been paid in full for the required Blood covenant for Her restoration as a nation has been completed through the obedience unto death of the LORD Jesus Christ, the perfect Lamb for sacrifice. He has become God’s Chief man among men, the Prince of all the Kings of the Earth, the Savior of the whole world.

Now, Igbos as I said earlier, are the true Hebrews of God, the same people that crossed over with God through the covenant rectified by the blood of the animal sacrifice which Moses made at the foot of Mount Sinai, but now made new through the Blood of Jesus as the Lamb of God. The price is paid in full. Isaiah prophesied it and so did many prophets of Old concerning the redemption of Israel:

Comfort ye, comfort ye my people, saith your God. Speak ye comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry unto her, that her warfare is accomplished, that her iniquity is pardoned: for she hath received of the LORD'S hand double for all her sins (Isaiah 40:1-2 (KJV)

For the LORD shall comfort Zion: he will comfort all her waste places; and he will make her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of the LORD; joy and gladness shall be found therein, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody ( Isaiah 51:3 ).

So, John the Baptist was sent as His forerunner to prepare His way as prophesied by the Prophets:

The voice of him that crieth in the wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, make straight in the desert a highway for our God. 4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every mountain and hill shall be made low: and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough places plain: And the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the mouth of the LORD hath spoken it (Isaiah 40:3-5 (KJV)

The LORD Jesus has fulfilled all the required righteousness under the law of God to make us, Igbos a holy nation of Israel again, and to restore the lost Kingdom back to us and re-establish the government of David on Earth. The establishment of His government will destroy all the governments of the Earth because the Government of God is upon the shoulder of the LORD Jesus Christ, the Root and Offspring of David, the First and the Last. Igbos as Hebrews are at the center of God’s plan for the restoration of God’s Kingdom which is the Kingdom of Christ upon the Earth, not Biafra….TO BE CONTINUED
