The Abia Paradigm and Eschatological Sonship: A Theological Analysis of the Abiakpo Clan in Redemptive History Abstract This article examines the emerging role of the Abiakpo clan within the broader framework of redemptive history and eschatological fulfilment. Through an analysis of father–son dynamics, covenantal identity, and prophetic destiny, the study argues that the Abiakpo people—whose name signifies "My Father is God"—embody a distinctive expression of corporate sonship in the last days. Employing biblical-theological and interpretive methods, the paper situates the Abiakpo clan within the unfolding purposes of God, exploring their unique calling as priests and kings in the eschatological age. The concept of Abia ("My Father is God") is developed as a paradigm for restored relational identity, spiritual maturity, and missional commissioning.

Perhaps he sold it. Perhaps it hung in a barracks or a tavern. But the war—the war against the Truth—did not end when the centurion said, "Truly this man was the Son of God....
