THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT

Just as the history of Yorubaland began with every Yoruba state traveling out of Ifẹ̀ from where Odùduwà is king to different parts of Yoruba land to establish their own kingdom, so it was written of Abraham too, leaving his father's house to establish his kingdom. 

The same way Jegbe, the first son of Odùduwà was reported to have moved from Ifẹ̀, passed through a place known today as Ìjẹ̀sà to now settle finally at a place called Ọ̀yọ́ to establish his kingdom, so was it recorded of Abraham, a man that is dubbed to be the ancestor of the Jewish people.

Those Jewish people today are the ones started Judaism, Christianity and Islam. They are traced to that common ancestral lineage.

But which Ancestor was Abraham connected to? 

Today, the Jewish people are known for claiming special place with God by reason of the man Abraham. But how did Abraham's decendants become a special people with God that left out Abraham's ancestors? What were Abraham's ancestors doing that was different from what Abraham was doing? 

Apart from God telling him to leave, was there an account of God telling or speaking of the ills of the deeds of Abraham's ancestors?

For us to get an idea of what God Abraham was serving, we need to query the covenant that brought them into partnership:

THE ABRAHAMIC COVENANT: 

Genesis 15:9 And he said unto him, Take me an heifer of three years old, and a she goat of three years old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtledove, and a young pigeon.

Genesis 15:10 And he took unto him all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid each piece one against another: but the birds divided he not.

Genesis 15:11 And when the fowls came down upon the carcases, Abram drove them away.

This was the induction of Abraham into a covenant order that sealed his fate before God - because he heard and complied to make the sacrifice. But he made a blunder in verse 11, when these "birds" (igun tó ń jẹ ẹbọ) came down to receive his sacrifice, he drove them away. And that put his decendant into 400 years bondage.

Do you now know what sort of covenant Abraham entered into? 

Do I still need to state the obvious?

This is Ifá that this biblical God has used to bring Abraham into one accord with him. 

These sacrificial items in Ifá have their individual interpretations and uses in negotiating with the forces of nature.

Today, the covenant that brought Abraham into an accord with the biblical God is now said to be an old covenant? No, it was what was given to Moses that was regarded as old covenant. That was there Judaism started from. Today, Judaism, Christianity and Islam get their blessings from Abraham. That's the common ancestor - Judaism claim through Abraham directly, Christian through Jesus and Muslim through Mohammed. The common link to the biblical God and the Quranic God is Abraham. 

Why are the Christian and Islamic religions against the Ifá system of connection between ènìyàn and Olódùmarè when Abraham their father himself, whose blessings they enjoy, was initiated into the same system?

If Abraham's covenant is old covenant and Jesus is the new covenant, let's check the origin of the Jesus story?

It was the Romans who were the colonizing power over the Jews that established the Jesus story to impose it over the Abrahamic story, for what reason? Of course, to dominate...

When they got to the shores of Yoruba land, they only made Ajayi Crowther repeat what they had done in the past. Josephus Flavius was the Jewish man the Roman used to transplant Christianity into the Abrahamic order.

Roman Emperor Constantine created the Jesus myth to usurp the Abrahamic order. It has been successful for about 2000 years. 

The focus of the Roman mythology was to get the world to see the Roman Emperor as the Son of God. The Christian mythology rested on the premise that the Ceaser is the representative of the Son of God (Vicarious fili Dei). So whatever Ceaser was saying was what the Son of God (Whom they have presented to be Jesus the decendant of Abraham) was saying. 

Hence, the statement "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whosoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting life" was simply a declaration on a foreign land by Roman soldiers known as Crusaders that "God has sent Ceaser to liberate you from sin, believe and accept his government and live, reject the government and die (perish)."

The statement "that at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, of things in heaven, of things on earth and of things underneath the earth" were infusions of the Roman might whose aim is to subdue. It was the inspiration for the Roman soldiers. When the enemy falls at their sword, they consider that scripture fulfilling its potency.

That Ceaser is the office that became the Pope of the Roman Catholic Church which still carries the title "Vicarious Fili Dei" till date.

History has it of several catholic church Popes who made fortunes through slavery and wars all over the world to give the catholic church the enormous wealth it has today. 

Google Benandino Nogara and see the role he is said to have played for the catholic church in history.

But again, what if the name Abraham is a corruption of Barami Agbonmiregun?

Dear Africa, Ifá is our way. The father of the supposed Jewish people from evidence was initiated into Ifá, everything else that is built on it today called Christianity or Islam which is fighting African spirituality today are false stories meant to derail people from the true connection to Orí, Ẹlẹda, Olódùmarè, Source. 

They were crafted into the story by those who had political agenda. That's why they had to spread it by the sword. And they still do till date, only that the have a more subtle way of doing it through the CIA, WTO, IMF and NATO.
