THE NATIVITY OF JESUS CHRIST IN HIS SECOND COMING: LEADER OLUMBA OLUMBA OBU

In the Name of Our Lord Jesus Christ In the Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ Now and forever more. Amen The Most High God does not do anything on earth without revealing it unto his prophets. Hos.12:10, 13, Amos. 3:7. Before Our Lord Jesus Christ manifested in human form in his first advent; the prophets foresaw and foretold it to the children of Israel in clear terms, Isaiah 9:6-7, Jer. 23:5-6. The prophet Micah was very explicit in this regard. In his vision, he told the children of Israel that the expected Messiah, even our Lord Jesus Christ shall be born in Bethlehem Ephratan Mic. ,5:2, Matt. 2:4-6, John 7:42. But as regard the second coming of Jesus Christ many people think and argue that the prophets never talked about his birth and birth place. So they always conclude that the God Head or the Christ in his second coming shall not be born by woman. 5.1 The Prophecies about Him This opinion is not true. Infact, the second coming of the Christ or God the Father was given wide publicity by the prophets of God right from the book of Genesis to the book of Revelations. The prophet Isaiah, told the children of Israel that due to their faithlessness and recalcitrance, the Father God shall by-pass them and reveal himself to a nation that was not identified with Him from the beginning Isaiah... 65:1-7, Rom. 10:20-21. Earlier on, in the Wilderness, Moses the prophet warned the Israelites of the danger of their spiritual slothfulness. If they (the Israelites) were not mindful of the Lord, warned Moses, the Lord shall forsake them and reveal Himself to a different people altogether. Deut. 32:16-21, Rom. 10:19. Jeremiah the prophet in his vision confirmed this. He told the rebellious Israelites that because of their lack of knowledge and fear of the Lord, the Lord God shall manifest himself to another people, whom the prophet called great men. And that when this happens, the Israelites shall have no peace in their land, but, rather violence and turmoil as it is these days Jer. 5:4-6. Prophet Isaiah went further to inform the Israelites that God will forsake them and manifest Himself in Bozrah of Edom. (Isaiah 63: 1-3) The Prophet Habakuk confirmed what Prophet Isaiah said and what Prophet Moses said, God will manifest from Teman and from Paran. (Habakuk 3: 1-3), and forsake Israel. Yes, God's promise never fails. He had promised the children of Israel that he shall manifest himself to another nation which was not called by his name as seen above. But, in pursuance of this promise, He has never forgotten His obligation to Abraham. For God's promise to Abraham was that in Abraham shall all the families of the earth be blessed Gen.12:3. This promise was instantly extended to Isaac - Gen. 21:12. Later on, Isaac begot Esau and Jacob - Gen. 25:19-26. Before these children were born, the Lord had revealed it to their mother Rebecca who inquired of the Lord and the Lord said unto her: "Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels and the elder shall serve the younger Gen. 25:23. As a result, the Lord made it clear that His love was for Jacob Mal. 1:2-3, Rom. 9:10-13. Now that he is laying off the children of Jacob (Israel) due to their insubordination, he never forgot his promise to Abraham, hence he looked across the same line and lineage of Abraham and said “behold me, behold me unto a nation that was not called by his name” Isaiah 65:1. This he had made known to Moses the man of God, that when he takes leave of the children of Israel due to their lack of faith, he shall emerge again; but this time from Seir and from Paran Deut. 33:1-3. The prophet Habakkuk in his vision also confirmed the LORD'S emergence from Paran of the region of Teman Hab. 3:3. And we are aware that Esau's dwelling place was Seir Gen. 33: 14-16. We are told that Esau looked red at birth Gen. 25:25. Red-in-skin description is the modest description an average blackman can get in comparison to his white skinned counterpart. Hence we call the black skinned people of India (the Paniyangs) Red Indians. And we all see these so called Red Indians and know that they are average black skinned people. Esau was therefore an average black (Red) skinned man. And one day, as he came back from his hunting expedition, he was very hungry. His brother Jacob had red pottage. Esau requested Jacob to feed him (Esau) with the red pottage at all cost. This excessive desire and appetite for the red pottage earned him a name. He was ridiculously nicknamed EDOM Gen. 25:29-30. Therefore, wherever you see the word Edom in the Holy Bible, it stands for Esau and vice versa. The children of Esau or the Edomites nursed traditional enmity against the children of Jacob or the Israelites. Their hatred for the Israelites was born out of the conviction that their father Jacob usurped the birthright of Esau or Edom their own father. Hence they refused to allow the Israelites passage through Edom's territory during the Israelites' exodus from Egypt. Num. 20:14-21. Even when the Israelites had settled down in the land which God gave them, the Edomites were always at war with them Amos 1:11-12. This deep rooted enmity and jealousy by Edom towards the Israelites compelled King David in his days to massacre the Edomites without mercy 2 Samuel 8:14, 1st Chr. 18:12-13. During this period of , pogrom and mayhem by King David's soldiers against the Edomites, a remnant of the children of Edom together with Hadad the Prince, who was of the King's seed, escaped to Egypt. Here they were offered asylum. The Egyptian King (Pharaoh) allotted a portion of land in his domain to the refuge seeking Edomites to settle down 1st Kings 11:14-22. Because of persecution, the Edomites dispersed out of their home land - Seir in Teman Gen. 33:14-16. Of course, this design was of God as a punishment for Edom's perpetual hatred for his brother Israel (Amos. 1:11-12.) We have seen now that Seir was the name by which Edom's dwelling place in the region of Teman was known before the persecution that took them to Egypt. This word Seir was an Aramaic (ancient Arabic or Syriac) word. And it connotes the word black. Thus Seir as a territory meant abode of the Black man. It was situated in Teman, in Edom. In Egypt, the Edom refugees were allotted a territory which was outside the metropolitan. Egypt for settlement. This settlement grew up and became known as Sudan. The word Sudan is Arabic word. It was used by the Arabs to differentiate the mainland Egypt from the settlement of the refugee Edomites. The word Sudan is the same in meaning with the ancient version Seir. So Sudan means abode or region of the Black race. Hence when the Arab traders crossed the Sahara Desert in the mediaeval ages, they realised that the black race has spread down South of the Sahara. Thus they called the whole area Western Sudan. So the whole area South of Egypt became known by the Arabs as Sudan, which means country or abode of the Black race. Therefore the noun Seir and the noun Sudan are one and the same word. They point to the place of abode of the Black race. It was the European explorers who changed the name, and called it Africa. You can now see the balance between the old and new versions of the word Seir. Earlier, we had seen the blessing of Moses to the children of Israel before his demise. This blessing was a prophecy in which he told the Israelites what they were to expect in the last days. Thus we are told, "And this is the blessing where with Moses the man of God blessed the children of Israel before his death; and he said, the LORD came from Sinai, and rose up from Seir unto them; he shined forth from mount Paran....... Deut. 33:1-3. This was Moses' last prophecy to the children of Israel before his death. But because Sinai is mentioned here, people think that he was one way or the other talking about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt. Such opinion is not correct. If he was talking about the Israelites exodus from Egypt, it would have implied that the LORD was leading the congregation down to Seir, which was Edom's dwelling place. In that case, the whole prophecy would have been false, because the Israelites never set their feet upon Seir Num. 20:14-21. Therefore, the true situation here is that Moses was prophesying to the people about what shall occur in the last days. Hence centuries latter, another prophet named Habakkuk confirmed it to the people that the LORD shall actually emerge from mount Paran. Thus said the prophet: "GOD came from Teman, and the Holy one from mount Paran...... Hab. 3:3. But when people read these portions, some would tell you that it was something that had occured before the Holy Bible was written. And that the prophets were rehearsing historical records. Others would simply tell you that it is some of these riddles that inundate the Holy Bible which no one can reaily interpret. All such conception are erroneous. So, right now, listen to the interpretations of these hidden truths explained and brought home to you clearly and unequivocally. 5.2 The nativity of God now Thus in order to ascertain and prove the truth between the names of places in the modern and the ancient worlds, it is agreed and proven that in the evolution of ancient proper nouns into their modern derivatives, it is usual for the consonant sounds to remain and the vowels to undergo changes. This implies that, no matter how any ancient proper noun may metamorphose into its modem derivative, it is a rule that the principal consonant sounds should remain intact. We often need names for developments, but almost always, we use an old one that is already there. Also, we often need a name which should remind us quickly of our historical origin and satisfies our nostalgia in the process. We have all seen the blessing of Moses to the children of Israel before his death in about 1200 B.C., and the confirmation by Habakkuk who lived in about 500 B.C. We have also seen that Moses told the Israelites that the LORD shall appear to them from Sinai and shall rise up from Seir and shine to them from Paran. In the confirmation of Habakkuk, we have seen that the prophet named the region of Seir out of which GOD should emerge from as Teman and the exact place he confirmed was Paran. Already, we have seen that Seir was the dwelling place of Edom in the ancient world. We have also seen how the Edomites were massacred and rooted off from that dwelling place. When they fled from Seir following the massacre, the Edomites sought refuge first in Sinai, And the Egyptian Pharoah, out of compassion, granted them asylum and allotted them a different territory to settle down instead (1st Kings 11:14-22). This territory was outside the mainland Egypt. Now the Arabs being fully aware that the refugees, came from Seir, and that the word Seir means country of the black race, that this same people are actually black in appearance, called the new settlement Sudan. The meaning is the same with Seir, the ancient version. It means abode of the black race. This is the same territory that lies South of Egypt, precisely known as the Republic of Sudan in modern time. It was from Sudan that the various tribes of the black race of the root of Esau migrated further south across the Sahara desert into their different homelands of the present age. As it is customary in history for people to move out in Clans; some of the migrating clans took along with them their former names. In some other instances, the migrating clans found themselves being called their ancient names by their immediate neighbours. Really, the uprooting of the Edomites from their ancient homeland in Aram took place during the reign of King David of Israel which was in about 900 B.C After some centuries, the population of the new settlement in Sudan had started to increase tremendously. By this time, some clans started to move from the geographical boundary of Sudan. Some moved further south across the Sahara Desert, while others moved in the South West direction into what later became known as Western Sudan. Among such clans that migrated out of Sudan in southwest direction was the clan of Teman with its component unit called Paran. In the course of time, after several movements in search of suitable settlement the Teman clan broke into various tribes which settled closely together. Other migrating clans also took up their positions. But this chosen clan Teman and the chosen family Paran took up their position between the Igbos in the West, the Cameroun mountain in the East, and the Ibibios in the South. These are the very people that occupy the area that lie around the Cross River and South of the Benue. Though the people of this chosen clan Teman especially of Bozrah, due to constant fragmentation of dialects, choosed to call themselves by their various segmented names, their neighbours, especially the Ibibios, eager to remind those people, that is, the various segmented tribes; of their common origin in the ancient time, called all of them ATAM. It is not possible for the typical Ibibio man to pronounce any word which starts with a consonant sound, without proceeding it with a vowel. For example, the typical Ibibio man cannot pronounce such nouns that begin with consonant sounds like Paul, John, Timothy etc., without adding the letter A before them. Thus the Ibibio man would say APaul instead of Paul, AJohn instead of John and Atimothy instead of Timothy Therefore, eventhough the Ibibios had the good intention of retaining the memory of their northern neigbours as having been the inhabitants of Teman in the ancient world, yet they could not pronounce Teman without the vowel A. Thus instead of calling it Teman, they called it A Teman and gradually corrupted to ATAM. But the hidden truth is that whether the area is still called Teman or Atam, the inhabitants are the same people. They are the Temanites. So the prophecy of Habakkuk is directly fulfilled here. Also, when the prophet said that God came from Teman, He was saying in effect that the GOD HEAD in His physical manifestation is a TEMANITE. This is the one and only word for a person from that area, whether you pronounce it Teman or Atam. Again the prophecy tells us that the LORD shined forth from mount Paran or the hill Pharan as in the Monsignor knox's translation of the Holy Bible. Another prophet, Isaiah in his prophecy, tells us that the LORD emerged from Bozra or Bosra as in Monsignor Knox's translation. He is clad in red garment Isaiah 63:1. Now, we have already established the truth, that migrating tribes always take their names along with them to their new settlements and others in some occasions do acquire new names to suite their environments. Others still may have that name called them by their neighbours. Here also, we have seen that in the case of the clan of Teman, while they delighted in calling themselves by their various fragmented unit names in their new abode, their neighbours, mainly the Ibibios called them all Atam; as a reminder that they were from Teman in the ancient world. Now Bozrah or Bosra; which is the chosen sub clan of the main clan Teman, never did away with their identity and historical name. But as we have seen already, ancient proper nouns undergo changes due to dialectical fragmentation. But no matter the changes such ancient proper nouns may undergo over the years the rules as we have seen is that the principal consonants always remain intact. Thus after many centuries, during the Mediaeval period, the chosen Temanite sub clan of Bozra or Bosra decided to establish for themselves permanent settlement. This they did. and this abode grew up over the years, and became known as BIASEH. The chosen family of this chosen sub-clan of Bozrah or Bosra, which is Paran or Pharan, ever eager to assert their preeminence as being the chosen family, moved further apart and founded their own home town. They also, not willing to let their identity be forgotten, named this town of theirs BIAPAN OR BIAKPAN as is generally pronounced. Actually, there is no difference in the meaning between the two names Biaseh and Biakpan. Both words mean BRETHREN, only that Biakpan means BRETHREN of the first estate or of the first order. For the people knew and believed that no matter what might happen, GOD would ever give them preference over the rest of the people. 5.3 The new Jerusalem identified Having gone through all these historical facts, we can now see that the Almighty God had never chosen Palestine as His eternal resting place. We can see that what the LORD was doing with the Israelites was what could be called preliminaty exercise. He made his choice known to Moses right from the start, and confirmed same to the prophets Isaiah and Habakkuk among others centuries later. Thus what the Almighty God did was just to allow the tide of events to take the people of His choice to the land of His choice. So we can see that the chosen Jerusalem of the LORD GOD is PARAN in BOZRAH in TEMAN all of which are in SEIR. These in the modern world refer to BIAKPAN in BIASEH in ATAM; from ancient Sudan, from ancient Palestine. The indegenes are of Esau and grand children of Abraham by blood. They are other groups also of the Temanite tribe. Such groups include among others those of the Efiks, Uruan, Oron, Ibeno and even some groups in the present Southern Cameroons. All of such are of the Teman tribe, but of sub-groups different from Bozrah, yet all children of Esau and thus of Abraham. The Holy Father confirms the truth about these groups especially the association of Biakpan with the Efiks and Uruan people. At one stage or the other, He or His biological family have physically lived among the Efiks or Uruan people. Thus the real chosen new Jerusalem is BIAKPAN. This is the capital city of GOD'S own kingdom on earth Rev. 21:9-26. The LORD had made that choice before the foundation of the world was laid. And he preserved the people and their identity down to this time of consummation. Their names were never altered, eventhough events brought in new names into being among these peoples following the emergence of nations. For instance the British possessions around the Niger area were amalgamated in 1914, and given the name Nigeria by Lady Flora Lugard. And the name Nigeria means nothing else but Niger Area. Yet the prophesied identity of the birth place of the LORD God can never be mistaken because the people and their city states had been in existence before the modern nation emerged. 5.4 The Ancient Prophets were aware of this incarnation and kingdom. Prophet Isaiah had a vision about the second coming of Christ. He told the Israelites that the LORD will come from Edom (the black race) of the region of Bozrah (Biaseh/Biakpan). Isaiah 63:1-3 The prophet Joel, when he saw the coming of the Father God, the Lord of the vineyard said that the Father GOD will appear among those people who had been made into articles of trade. Those people who had been sold and bought into slaves and slavery by the various nations that rule the world, to the extent that these same group of people are taken from their homeland. Those people whose treasures had been looted to decorate the museums and archives of the powerful nations of the world. It is in the land and in the midst of these people that the LORD shall sit in judgment over the nations. In the land which all the powerful nations of the world sought to colonise and rule over perpetually without knowing the thoughts of the LORD Micah 4:6-13. Which of the races and peoples of this world had been used in this manner except the Black race? It was in this regard that when prophet Isaiah spiritually perceived the plan of the LORD GOD to reveal himself to an entirely different people who are not of the stock of Jacob; to dwell in the midst of this people, bless them and turn away their captivity into security, their shame into joy, he the prophet was amazed. Thus he exclaimed loud and clear, and the Gentiles shall see thy righteousness. And thou shall be called by a new name” Isaiah 62:1-5 Ezekiel the prophet also had the same message. When the prophet got the revelation that the LORD GOD Almighty shall appear from among an oppressed people, a people who are removed far from their land with ignominy and dispersed the world over. The race of people that are not regarded by the nations where ever they are found. The people whose land the nations looted and partitioned with no fear or regard to the will of the people. A people that were regarded as having no knowledge of God by their oppressors; the prophet was confounded. But the LORD GOD told the prophet that He the LORD was not doing this because of there was any righteousness in the people in question. But that He was doing it for His Name's sake, so that this righteousness should be made manifest in the eyes of all nations Ezekiel 36 : 1-38. Another prophet, Zechariah was aware of this plan of the Almighty GOD, to manifest Himself physically as the king of the earth. And the prophet in his vision tells us that the people among whom the LORD GOD shall manifest himself shall be a people whose treasures had been plundered by the nations. A people whose land the powerful nations of the world shall scramble for. A people that shall be taken into captivity by those nations, though a residue of them shall still remain in the homeland. Among these residue shall the LORD GOD manifest Himself physically for judgment and rulership over the whole world Zech. 14:1-3,9. King David in his own revelations tells us that when the LORD shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory. Yes the Lord shall appear in glory in the midst of the people regarded as destitute. The LORD shall not despise them, but shall rather constitute them unto himself for his own praise Psalm 102:15-21. To further clarify his position, this same King David made the people to understand that the LORD shall consecrate the Black race unto himself. "Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto God, said the prophet". Psalm 68:13. Thus lamentably, the prophet Isaiah told the rebellious Israel that the LORD GOD shall do away with them, and call his servants by another name, so that the glory of the Most High shall be made manifest on earth Isaiah 65:13-16. With all these references and revelations by the prophets, we can now see that the identity of the land of nativity of the Most High God can never be mistaken. The identity of the people among whom the universal LORD shall manifest has never been hidden. The prophets as we have seen identified the people- the Lord will manifest in their midst without mincing words. And today, we are all witnesses to the fulfillment and consummation of this fact. Christ, in His second coming has manifested himself in the midst of the oppressed and plundered people; the Black race, and in the prophesied city of Biakpan.
