An estimated number of
400,000 Hebrews arrived the
apparent safe territory of
Biafra land in about 638BC.
Ezeala (1992) contends that
the group of Hebrews that
came to Biafra land was from
*'the clan of Shechenigbo from
the tribe of Judah within the
province ofJudea". But the
later days findings on the
origin of the Biafrans as recorded
in this book and earlier works
such as Basden (1938),
Ogolonia (1994), Ononju
(1996) and confirmed by the
Holy Scriptures, the Torah
and the Bible, seem to suggest
clan of Gad.
The Genesis of the Movement of Biafrans into Biafra land:
The movement
into Biafra land by the exiled Hebrews from
Israel following the curse of YAHWEH upon
the Israelites for disobeying Him began about 1718BC
when King Salmanzar V of Assyria defeated
Israel and drove away the inhabitants after
rendering the entire land desolate. The Assyrian
King brought in a large number of pagans
from Assyria to occupy every inch of the Land
of the scattered Jews so as to blot out their identity
as a people of YAHWEH. however, two tribes Judah
and Benjamin, out of the Twelve Tribes of
Israel
were left behind in their original places. The next
scattering of the Hebrews in continuation with
YAHWEH’S plan was by the Babylonians under King
Nebuchadnezzar, first in 536BC and secondly
in 586BC. The next and the last Gentile power
used by YAHWEH to scatter His people Israel for
disobedience was the Roman Empire in AD 70,
The Roman General, Titus, drove away the
remaining
Two Tribes of Israel and the remants " of
the Hebrews or Israelites from their homeland, Israel
" into the four corners of the earth" in final
I will disperse you among the nations and scatter you through the countries and I will put an end to your uncleanness (Ezekiel, 23:15).
With this last scattering exercise by the Romans about 700,000 Hebrews found themselves back to Egypt they moved to" Tunisia, to Syria, to
Iraq, Morocco, Lybia, Sudan and then to sub-Saharan Africa setting in their largest numbers in Biafra
land which was then not yet occupied by any of the Gentile powers as in the countries of the Middle East and North Africa. The then Biafra land was
therefore safer in terms of freedom of religious practice. It was
only inhabited by the Kwas, the Allokoos and the
pigmies, not Arabs yet. This was the most cogent
human" reason for the choice of Biafra land for final settlement in such a large
number by the
scattering Hebrews who more than any other thing
wanted a safe place for their practice of Judaism, •
monothesim worshipping tha Almighty Creator of the Universe, the YAHWEH of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, as the only God. but YAHWEH’S own reason for the choice of Nigeria for them has just been known almost 2,800 after the divine choice was made. There is oil and other minerals reserves second in qualitity to that in the Middle east in
the places where the Hebrews (Biafrans) were forced to go and settle for the fulfillment of
j
His promise of restoration in the last days
"after His great anger on the Hebrews shall have been turned away”
As
has been said earlier, given the large number of
Hebrews (Biafrans) in Biafra land, it is not likely that Israel
can contain any significant number of them. Intact,
it is clear that not all the Hebrews in the Diaspora
including the Biafrans will go back to settle in
Israel for the land is too small for millions of them
all over the world. Of course, the Almighty had
earlier told Jacob so. But to show the holiness of
His great name, to honour His words. His promise
of material and spiritual restoration will get
to all Hebrews or Jews whenever they may be in
the world during the last days, even before gathering
them back finally in the Land, Israel. In
Biafra YAHWEH'S grand plan for the last day's restoration of His people the Biafrans, is just too obvious
now. Besides settling them in the oil rich areas
of Nigeria, the YAHWEH Almighty had blessed
then with abundance of agricultural products (e.g palm produce in big commercial quantity) besides their intelligence, dynamism and great ability for
hard work. But what is happening to the material resources found in the Biafra areas of Biafra land
is as if it is in fulfillment of this particular YAHWEH'S
curse on the Hebrews "people that you do not know will eat what your land and labour produce, and you will have nothing but cruel oppression... you will have olive trees throughout your country but you will not use the oil (Deuteronomy 28:33_40).
Actually,
the oil wealth in particular from Biafra land is
certainly not with the Bifrans but with those from the
other places where the oil is not found. However,
it is believed that in YAHWEH’S own time, all
that is due to the Biafrans in Biafra land will get back to
them. Events of the past have shown that God's due
course of time is always in fours of multiple of
fours. Consider this. YAHWEH did not create the sun that
regulates the course of human time and seasons
until the forth day. The choice of four days
for a week or for one complete course of segment
of time in human calendar by the Biafra
Hebrews may have been an imitation
of the Almighty's choice of number, a divine
choice. The Almighty has the number four (4)
as a special number. The living creatures in the
appearance of a man steadily moved back
and forth and covered the Glory of the Yahweh were
4 in number, with 4 faces, wings and 4 sides
with the hands of a man.
"All
four of them had faces and wings, and their wings
touched one another. Their appearance was
like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved
back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lighting flashed out of it. the creatures sped
back and forth like flashes of lighting... Above
the expanse over their head was what looked
like a throne of sapphire, and high above on
the throne was a figure like that of a man. Like the
appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy
day. So was the radian around him... This was
the appearance of the glory of the Lord" (Ezekiel
1:4-28).
Indeed,
the number 4 is the number that the YAHWEH Almighty
has also apparently chosen in measuring the
length of time for the atonement of Israel's
and
its people's sin of idolatry for forty years in the
wilderness. For the atonement of Israel, Ezekiel the
prophet was made to bear their sin for "40 days,
a day for each year" (Ezekiel 4:6). The YAHWEH
Almighty assigned to Ezekiel the same
number
of days as the years of their son (sin of the
house of Judah).
The
Almighty's appointed time for the punishment
of the Israelites in Egypt as slaves was 400
(4 x 100). Almighty's appointed time for the Hebrews
or the Israelites to use in crossing the desert
to the promised land after leaving Egypt was
40 years (4 x 10). The Almighty's appointed time
for the resurrection of Lazarus from the dead by
YAHOSHUA was on the fourth day. The Almighty's
appointed time for the rule of the first three kings of
Israel Saul, David and Solomon is approximately 40
years (4 x 10) each and so for 120 years (4 x 30) Israel was one nation. For refusing to do God's work, Jonah was in the belly of a fish for three days and on the fourth day he was vomited out to start the work willy nillv. When Moses went to seek the face "of YAHWEH in the mountain, it was for days (4 x 10). When YAHOSHUA went to seek
the face of YAHWEH before starting his ministry on earth it was for 40 days and 40 night (4 x 10). Earlier on, during the great flood that destroyed Noah's world, the calamities lasted for 40 days and 40 nights (4 x 10). It may,
therefore, be wise to predict that the Biafrans Hebrews will only begin to benefit from their own home-based oil/mineral wealth of Biafra by early 2000s. Oil in Biafra became an important source of national wealth in early 1960s. From 1960 to 2000 we have 40 years (4 x 10). The Biafra may have to wait for the early parts of year 2000 before being fully restored and appreciated in.........
