# THE PROPHETIC WITNESS
### *A Declaration of the African Holy Land*
## 1. The Prophetic Foundations
### The Prophetic Word of Pa S.G. Elton
The following prophetic declarations were uttered by Pa Sydney Granville (S.G.) Elton, a prophet whose words identified the strategic role of Africa, and specifically Nigeria, in the final move of God upon the earth.
* **The Prophecy of Corruption and Righteousness:**
> *"Nigeria and Nigerians will be known all over the world for corruption. Your name—Nigeria—will stink for corruption. But after a while, a new phase will come: a phase of righteousness. People from the nations of the earth will hold a Nigerian and say, 'We want to follow you to your nation to go and learn righteousness.'"*
>
This prophecy has been widely quoted in Nigerian Christian circles for many years. The first part refers to Nigeria's reputation for corruption, while the second part is interpreted as a future season in which Nigeria becomes known for righteousness and spiritual influence.
* **The Prophecy of Nigeria's Role in the Final Move of God:**
Pa Elton consistently emphasized God's purpose for Nigeria, declaring:
* *"God had a plan for Nigeria. Nigeria would produce leaders whom God would use. God could raise and train Nigerian ministers within Nigeria. Holiness, love, and dependence on God were essential for the nation's future."*
* *"Nigeria (especially the South) will play a key role in the final move of God on Earth. A revival that will bless the nations will arise from here."*
* *"Africa is like a gun pointed down. Its turret and muzzle is South Africa. Its trigger is Nigeria. The days would come when Apartheid would be removed from South Africa. In those days, the Gun of Africa would begin to fire for God's purpose."*
Many Christians regard these statements as part of Pa Elton's broader prophetic vision. The fulfillment of these prophetic declarations is found in the revelation of the Abiakpo lineage—the bone of Abia—and the establishment of the African Holy Land in Ubon Abasi Ibom, among the Annang people of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria.
### The Prophetic Word of Dr. Farrar
Before the prophetic word of Pa S.G. Elton, another prophetic witness was given to the land that would become the African Holy Land. Dr. Henry Farrar, a medical missionary at Ikot Nsekong (now Ubon Abasi Ibom), stood at the shrine of the Ikpaisong and preached to the people, declaring:
> *"You must not worship these idols. It doesn't help anyone. It brings God's anger. These idols make this land dirty. This land will be cleansed, and it will be a holy land."*
>
This prophecy was delivered at the very site of the old spiritual order, the shrine of the Ikpaisong. Dr. Farrar spoke not only of physical healing but of spiritual cleansing, declaring that the land defiled by idolatry would one day be purified and consecrated as a holy land. His words stood as a witness for generations, awaiting fulfillment.
Dr. Farrar passed away in February 2010. Little did he know that his prophetic word would be publicly fulfilled on **December 28, 2010**—less than one year after his death. His passing, followed by the declaration of the African Holy Land, follows the biblical pattern of a prophet's word being sealed and fulfilled after their passing (Hebrews 11:13).
### The Historical Witness: The Explosion of the Ikpaisong
In 1964, when the old spiritual order held sway over the land, Dr. Farrar spoke to the Ikpaisong—the supreme priestly authority of the Annang nation, known as the "mother of all priesthoods". As he spoke, declaring *"Ikpaisong afo akpa!"* ("Ikpaisong, you are dead!"), the Ikpaisong exploded like a gunshot in a place where no one had ever heard the sound of a gunshot before, due to the *Abasiekong* (the God of War) of Ikot Nsekong.
This supernatural sign served as a divine judgment upon the old covenant order. The explosion signaled that the counterfeit supreme authority had been deposed, clearing the way for the one true King-Priest-Prophet, Jesus Christ.
The "gunshot" that sounded where no gunshot had ever been heard prefigured the "Gun of Africa" that would begin to fire for God's purpose. The old order exploded, and the new order was inaugurated. The true Lord of Hosts—the true Abasiekong—declared victory over the principalities of the land, fulfilling Revelation 11:15.
## 2. The Consecration & Revelation
### The Declaration of Pastor Andrew Omale *(December 28, 2010)*
After generations of waiting, the prophetic word of Dr. Farrar found its public declaration and confirmation during the Golden Jubilee of Nigeria. Pastor Andrew Omale of the State House Prayer (Abuja, Nigeria) stood at the former Ikpaisong shrine—the exact spot where Dr. Farrar stood in 1964—and declared:
> *"Hear O Heaven and give ear O earth, this land and her people is dedicated to the God of Israel. Henceforth, Ubon Abasi Ibom shall be called 'a people who are holy in Africa, Black Christians of Israel Inheritance.' This is African Holy Land."*
>
#### Core Elements of the Declaration:
1. **"Hear O Heaven and give ear O earth"** – Echoes Deuteronomy 32:1 and Isaiah 1:2, establishing a covenantal act with cosmic significance.
2. **"This land and her people is dedicated to the God of Israel"** – Consecrates the territory and its people as a covenant possession.
3. **"Ubon Abasi Ibom shall be called 'a people who are holy in Africa'"** – Re-establishes their identity as "The Family of God," set apart for divine purpose.
4. **"Black Christians of Israel Inheritance"** – Connects African believers directly to the inheritance and covenants of Israel.
5. **"This is African Holy Land"** – Fulfills Dr. Farrar's prophecy that the land would be cleansed and made holy.
### The Origin & Preservation of Abiakpo
#### From Jerusalem to Annang Land
* **The Origin (Eka Abiakpo):** Abiakpo originated from *Eka Abiakpo* ("Mother of Abiakpo"—Jerusalem), the seat of the original priestly order. Following the destruction of Jerusalem and the Temple in 70 AD, the priestly lineage of Abia was dispersed, eventually migrating to and settling in the land of Annang.
* **The 8-Day Priestly Cycle:** To preserve the 8th course of the priestly lineage, the Abiakpo established an 8-day market cycle in Annang land. This system preserved the priestly rhythm, ensuring that each priesthood family had its designated day of service.
* **The 7-Day Sabbath (Obo Market Day):** Within the 8-day cycle, the 7-day Sabbath is observed on Obo market day, functioning as a sacred pause and weekly day of rest and worship (Exodus 20:8).
### The Eight Priesthood Families
| Day | Market Day | Priesthood Family | Significance |
|---|---|---|---|
| **1** | Obo | Ekpenyong Priesthood | The Sabbath day; served by the Ekpenyong family. |
| **2** | Nsebe | Essien Priesthood | Served by the Essien family. |
| **3** | Ekpa | Ibok Priesthood | Served by the Ibok family. |
| **4** | Edet | Ikpaisong Priesthood | Served by the Ikpaisong family. |
| **5** | Editaha | Obot Emana Priesthood | Served by the Obot Emana family. |
| **6** | Etim | Ete Idung Priesthood | Served by the Ete Idung family. |
| **7** | Offiongetto | Women's Priesthood | Preserves the priestly role of women (Exodus 38:8; Luke 2:36–38). |
| **8** | Edetobo | Freedom Day / Church Work | A day of freedom, now dedicated to church work (*utom ufok Abasi*). |
#### Theological Significance:
* **The 8th Course of Abia:** Preserves the numerical pattern of 1 Chronicles 24:10.
* **Preservation of the Covenant:** Combines the 7-day Sabbath rest with the 8th-day cycle of new beginnings.
* **Women in Priesthood:** Preserves the historical biblical pattern of ministering women.
* **Edetobo (The 8th Day):** Represents the transition from the Old Covenant shadow to the New Covenant substance, consecrated to the work of the Church.
### Abiakpo: The Bone of Abia and the People of the Sword
* **Etymology:**
* **Abia:** The priestly course, founding father, and covenant name.
* **Okpo:** Bone.
* *Abiakpo* translates to **"the bone of Abia"**—signifying the preserved, unbroken essence of the priestly heritage of Abia (Ezekiel 37:1–14).
* **Founding Father:** Abiakpo is recognized as the founding father of Annang land, rooting the territory's heritage directly in this ancient priestly lineage.
* **People of the Machete (Sword):** Prophetically, the machete or sword symbolizes:
1. **The Word of God:** Sharper than any two-edged sword (Hebrews 4:12).
2. **Spiritual Warfare:** Authority to pull down strongholds and establish divine order.
3. **Judgment & Deliverance:** Prophetic declarations that dismantle old orders.
4. **Boundary-Marking:** Marking and establishing the prophetic geography of the African Holy Land.
## 3. Synthesis & Analysis
### Interpretation & Theological Framework
The convergence of these prophetic words, historical events, and structural patterns establishes a single unified testimony: **The African Holy Land has been established by divine decree.**
```
[Jerusalem (70 AD)] ──> [Migration & 8-Day Cycle] ──> [Prophetic Cleansing (1964)]
│
[Restored Order] <── [National Declaration (2010)] <───────────┘
```
1. **Providential Preservation:** Within this framework, Abiakpo represents "a people for His name" (Acts 15:14). Abiakpo translates to *"God my Father, the Mender of Bones"*—a continuous confession of divine sonship and restoration.
2. **Divine Numerical Seal:** The 8th course of Abia, the 8-day week, and the 8 local government areas of the Annang nation form a tripartite witness confirming divine engineering across two millennia.
3. **Fulfillment of Scripture:** God has acted as a "little sanctuary" (Ezekiel 11:16) for His dispersed people, ensuring the root takes hold to bear end-time fruit (Isaiah 37:31).
### Prophetic Geography
The research confirms that this prophetic witness is centered in **Ubon Abasi Ibom** (formerly Ikot Nsekong), among the Annang people of Akwa Ibom State, Nigeria, where the African Holy Land Research Centre is situated under the direction of **Da Effiong Daniel**.
The physical geography stands as a witness:
* The shrine site of Dr. Farrar's 1964 prophecy and the explosion of the Ikpaisong.
* The location of Pastor Andrew Omale’s December 28, 2010 declaration.
* The territory where the 8-day priestly cycle was preserved for two millennia.

## 5. Conclusion
The prophetic witness of Pa S.G. Elton, the prophecy of Dr. Farrar, the supernatural explosion of the Ikpaisong, the declaration of Pastor Andrew Omale, and the preservation of the 8-day priestly cycle among the Abiakpo converge upon a single truth: **God has preserved His priestly remnant in Africa, and the time of revelation has come.**
The 8-day cycle demonstrates that the Abia priesthood was transplanted rather than lost. From Jerusalem to Annang, the priestly order was maintained through market days, Sabbath observance, and priestly service. The bone of Abia—Abiakpo—continued to live in Africa.
As the Apostle Paul declared:
> *"The mystery that was kept secret for long ages is now disclosed..."*
> — **Romans 16:25–26**
>
From the African Holy Land, a priestly voice echoes to the ends of the earth: God's covenants are irrevocable, and Jesus Christ—the true and eternal Abia—reigns as High Priest and King forever.
***Let the nations come and see. Let the earth behold the revealed Son.***
