The Abia Paradigm and Eschatological Sonship: A Theological Analysis of the Abiakpo Clan in Redemptive History
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.
