The Indestructible Israel: Why the Gates of Hell Shall Not Prevail If our definition of Israel stops at the physical nation in the Middle East, then its existence appears fragile, constantly threatened by enemies as it has been throughout history. However, when we understand the revealed truth that the nation was a shadow of a Person, and that the Promised Land finds its ultimate fulfillment in Christ, we see that Israel is, in its truest essence, indestructible. The attempts to destroy Israel are not merely geopolitical conflicts; they are spiritual battles against a divine reality that finds its source in God Himself. 1. The Pattern of Failure: Lessons from Psalm 83 Psalm 83 presents a powerful historical example. It is a lament and a prayer against a confederacy of nations who conspired with a single, clear purpose: "They say, 'Come, let us wipe them out as a nation; let the name of Israel be remembered no more!'" (Psalm 83:4) This is the ultimate goal of every gen...

The Un-Tamable Tongue: A Biblical Diagnosis of Why International Peace Fails  Da Effiong Daniel African Holy Land Sociologist and a  Minister of the Gospel of Jesus Christ Abstract This paper explores the phenomenon of taunt as a destabilizing force in human relations, political conflicts, and theological discourse. Drawing upon African oral traditions, biblical narratives, and contemporary international crises, it demonstrates how the untamable tongue escalates disputes from village quarrels to global confrontations. Using Pharaoh’s defiance in Exodus and Ezekiel as an archetype, the study shows how divine authority responds to human arrogance, reducing the taunter’s voice to mere noise destined to fade. The analysis extends to the Iranian–Israeli conflict and the partiality of international institutions such as the United Nations, exposing the limits of human peace strategies when rooted in deceitful hearts. Theologically, the work argues that true and lastin...

The Un-Tamable Tongue: A Biblical Diagnosis of Why International Peace Fails Author: Da Effiong Daniel Minister of the Gospel and Sociologist Journal Proposal: Theology of Peace Journal; Journal of Religion and Conflict Transformation Abstract Despite decades of international diplomacy, lasting peace remains elusive. This paper argues that this failure stems from a fundamental misdiagnosis of conflict’s root cause. Drawing from the biblical books of Exodus, Jeremiah, and James, this analysis posits that the primary weapon of war is the word—the untamable tongue that sets the course of human conflict (James 3:6). Using the sustained provocative rhetoric of Iran toward Israel and the U.S. as a modern case study, and framing it through the cultural lens of the Efik/Ibibio/Annang challenges Akpede Ayok (direct taunt) and Nseabunam (indirect taunt), this paper demonstrates that conflict originates in the human heart and is unleashed through speech. Pharaoh’s defiance ('Wh...

The priest  of Abia of Africa: The Hidden Son and the Promised Altar Da Effiong Daniel  African holy land  Divine Encounters and Prophetic Fulfillment in the Melchizedek Order I. The Divine Pattern: From Shadow to Substance The Scriptures reveal a profound truth: what was once fragmented in the old covenant finds its perfect unity in Christ. The separate offices of prophet, priest, and king—distinct and limited in their temporal authority—now converge in the eternal ministry of Jesus, the Anointed One (Hebrews 1:1–3). In Africa, and specifically through the revelation of Abia—the hidden son and priestly lineage—this threefold office is being made manifest with transformative power. This is not merely theological concept, but a living reality being unveiled in our generation. II. The Threefold Manifestation of Christ in Africa 1. Christ the Prophet: "The Lord your God will raise up for you a prophet like me from among you, from your brothers—it is to him you shall listen."...

The Abia of Africa: The Hidden Son and the Promised Altar Da Effiong Daniel  African Holy Land  Abstract This study explores the prophetic and theological significance of Abia as a covenant name and priestly order that stretches from Israel’s genealogy to Africa’s prophetic destiny. Drawing from Matthew 1:6–7, Luke 1:5, 2 Chronicles 12:12–13, Isaiah 19, 1 Peter 1:20, and Revelation 11:8 , the paper argues that Abia represents a hidden sonship and priesthood that now manifests in Africa through the promised altar of the cross. Whereas the first Exodus revealed Israel as God’s son delivered out of Egypt, the last deliverance reveals Abia — God’s hidden son in Africa — with Christ as High Priest after the order of Melchizedek. Keywords: Abia, Africa, Isaiah 19, Exodus, Priesthood, Melchizedek, Ikpaisong, Prophecy, Altar, Sonship Introduction In Exodus 4:22–23, God declares: “Israel is My son, My firstborn. Let My son go.” Israel was delivered out of Egypt, but the prop...
