Testament) between Amos and Jonah
Possible Meaning of a Message of A Peculiar Ancient
Prophecy Concerning
The Present Day Intifadah-Uprising Movements Exploding
Throughout the Middle East
The Arab –
Israeli Conflict, Or The Arab Conflict With Israel,
Or The Arab
Conflict With Arabs
And
The Intefadah Within Islam
“For your
violence against your brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you
shall be cut off for ever.”
And
Zion WINS….After all!
“And saviors
shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom
shall be the LORD’s.”
In the vision,
GOD – Adonai, Elohiem, Hashem, seems to be speaking of a certain
conflict or struggle resulting from a dispute over “something” quite
special and intriguing, that has lasted throughout history (* over 4 or
5 thousand years) between two related peoples which in turn eventually
engulfs all other nations on earth.
It also appears to be a culminating, maturing,
harvesting, recompense, “day of Judgment” or time somewhere in the
future (* could be now) when the issues, arguments/disputes and events
of that ancient conflict are resolved etc.
It is at this special time or “day” that one people will
ultimately, completely, and without controversy prevail against the
other.
However, the odds against the “winners” were/are so great
and diabolical, that their victory had to come by the direct
intervention- miracle of the Giver and Narrator of the Vision, Who is
GOD HIMSELF….because they did not stand a natural chance against such a
formidable force attacking them.
The victorious are, as it turns out, a peoples whom HE
has created to carry out HIS Will on Earth…that being the House of
Jacob, Hebrews, Israelites, even modern day Jews and Israelis.
Ironically, according to HIS Ancient prophecies recorded
in the Hebrew Holy Scriptures concerning the two struggling peoples, it
is the House of Jacob that prevails over that of Esau, the paternal twin
of Jacob (Deceiver), renamed Israel (Prince of GOD).
Even Zion- Mount Zion, the object of tension between the
peoples and GOD Himself, is exalted above all other mountains of
distinction, especially that of Mt. Esau, the later being that great
aggressor who inflames the conflict by an international alliance or
confederacy against Jacob, the modern day Jews.

The Vision of Obadiah
-
Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom; We have heard a
rumor from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, “Arise
you, and let us rise up against her in battle.”
The Vision of Obadiah
begins with the Lord GOD Who Is the GOD (of Israel Adonai, Hashem, El
Elohiem, saying something about HIS concerns with Edom, who according to
the Holy Hebrew Scriptures, is also Esau, the very maternal twin brother
of Jacob, son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham the friend of GOD, to
whom GOD Has given the Promise of all the ages and peoples on Earth.
It appears that GOD Himself
sends out a rumor of some unknown nature… “We have heard a rumor
from the LORD”. Why would GOD send out
“a rumor” and what it could be?
On several occasions, the Scripture
speaks of this certain and seemingly strange Way of GOD, The CREATOR of
the Earth and all life that is in, on, and about it…which demonstrates
HIS Total and complete control over everything, that there is…
·
In fact, all visions, events on
earth in and about the affairs of humanity, discloses the identity,
character, nature, power and will of The ALMIGHTY HIMSELF, that we, HIS
Children may come to know HIM As such for HIS Eternal purpose for us in
this world and that which is to come.
Apparently, this geo-physical realm and dimension is not the end of life
and creation, but rather the fantastic beginning of something
wonderful
·
HIS Holy Scriptures serves as the
“Map” or “Manual” to the direct and personal Knowledge of how to enter
and maintain a relationship with HIM.
·
Also, “…the rumor from
the LORD” could also show that GOD Is willing to share with those of us
who are alert to the affairs of life in, of and around us, certain
information that HE Only is privy to for the purpose of calming any
fears and anxieties that we may have about our destinies; and to prepare
ourselves for involvement of some sort of special communication
(prayer-working) with HIM About that eternal destiny.
Now, it appears that
simultaneously, or at some undisclosed point in time, an ambassador
(someone or something representing another; a messenger or message) is
sent among the nations…likely from GOD HIMSELF…being that GOD Is the
ultimate in knowledge and intelligence.
This “ambassador” or message goes
about in the world calling to the nations, “Arise, you” nations….
“…let us rise up against her (* this woman) in battle (*
war, violence)”
At this time, for some reason, the
vision shows that GOD Is intent on making the “ambassador” and/or its’
source “small among the nations and greatly despised” instead,
which is probably in retribution for some kind of offensive, odious,
repugnant behavior that the former is about to commit, has
committed or is committing against HIM, even in HIS Sight.
The offending behavior of Edom which
seems to be his apparent intense desire to not only personally
commit horrific violence on this certain woman mentioned in the text,
but to also instigate a conspiracy with others to do so as well.
Special Note: GOD’s Sight is
simultaneously past, present, and future, being that HE Is seated on HIS
Throne in eternity-Heaven and eternity-Heaven is encompassed within HIS
Being. Therefore, The LORD GOD Sees all.
-
Behold, I have made
you small among the nations: you are greatly despised.
Apparently, due to some yet unrevealed reason in the text
at this juncture, GOD Takes an action that causes the nations to either
suddenly and unexpectedly or eventually consider the “ambassador/source”
to be no longer important, relevant, necessary or of any significance in
the concerns and affairs of world.
It appears that something in the
scheme of Edom’s “things” (his sinister, secret-hidden plans and
actions) goes surprisingly wrong for him.
In fact, the ambassador entity
itself becomes “greatly despised” by those very nations that
were/are/will be recruited for a dirty deed of enormous violence against
a certain woman (* “her”)!
The message of the unknown
representation-source calls for unification among certain nations,
perhaps possessing a common interest, thereby easily forming a
coalition!
Noting here:
Nations are either, or both political governmental entities and/or/as
well as ethnicities, races, with or without geographical national
borders, etc! So therefore, the “ambassador” is a personage
or something that seeks and apparently is able to muster or cause (stir,
whip-up, instigate) a coming together… a unification or
confederacy of many and varied kinds of peoples, races, ethnicities,
etc. throughout the world – international.
The “message” of an
international union to execute violence on a certain
woman!
It is to be noted, that generally
nations launch military aggression or wars on other nations to gain
various realms of powers, prestige and wealth – “booty” – bounty –
spoils that follow victory! They are either jealous or
envious of that intended victim nation and/or covet the
treasures-resources thereof!
Nations are often identified or
referred to by GOD and humanity in the human female-feminine form,
hence, “her” in the text is most likely a whole nation-ethnicity of
peoples…past, present, future – generational and eternal.
Also, it is to be noted that
according to the Holy Hebrew Scriptures, GOD Often Identifies nations in
the male masculine sense as well.
Unfortunately, for these particular
“male” allies, the treasures that they commonly desire are
actually the possession or property of a “woman” who is apparently very
special to GOD HIMSELF.
The jealous cravings of the
“ambassador” and that of the nations’ for the “lady’s” properties is so
fierce that they seek to dispossess her of it by violent, military
aggression - warfare! They intend to “beat-up”, “rape” (take her
substances) and even murder the woman.
However, these nations are
unwittingly about to unleash a torrent of retribution of catastrophic
proportions from the Hand of the ALMIGHTY. “It is a terrible
thing to fall into the hands of the Living GOD”, and “Vengeance is MINE
says The LORD. I Will repay.” The Holy Hebrew Scriptures
Knowing in the heart or conscious
that war is “wrong”, particularly when it is not provoked by the
apparently vulnerable intended victim, the “message” is probably one of
twisted reasoning and a convoluted justification for it by demonizing –
vilifying the intended victim, the woman-nation.
Apparently, the “messenger” and the
confederates seek to ease their guilt ridden conscious with bombastic
and even angry rhetoric. The anger is meant to indicate that something
has offended or hurt the raging aggressor, therefore retaliation is
justified. In other words, the intended victim had given a reason
worthy of rage upon her person. There is a vengeance or “payback”
for something done in the past by the intended victim to the angry
vengeance seeker, thereby providing justification for mad violence.
The message influences of world
political bodies that perhaps will even applaud the venture due to a
similar or common interest in the intended victim’s demise, i.e.,
replacement theology, philosophy and policies.
Though they and the ambassador
entity are probably vastly different in every sense of the word from
governance, culture, race and religion, the two aggressors find common
ground enough to transcend that difference…at least until their mutual
enemy is subdued and vanquished.
However, their common interest to
beat, rape, murder and dispossess the woman of her substance to claim it
as their own, are the super elements that bonds them together in their
confederacy.
Perhaps, the saying “The enemy of my
enemy is my friend.” is truly the ultimate fitting in this circumstance.
The common interest in the victim
nation must be so great that though extremely different from each other,
they are willing to get beyond and over their differences and act upon
the ambassadors’ sinister message.
From the very onset of this vision,
GOD Seems to be empathetic towards the entity that is the object of the
“ambassadors” message, and who is to be disenfranchised by the
international coalition.
The empathy for “her” by The LORD Is probably the main
reason for HIS Concern about Edom!
“Thus says the Lord
GOD concerning
Edom”
Something that Edom is perpetrating
in his message about the “woman” disturbs The LORD So greatly that HE
HJIMSELF Takes direct action against it and Edom.
So we see an individual “messenger”
stirring up or agitating others into a coalition against a single,
vulnerable intended victim for the purpose of robbing – dispossessing
the latter of “her” rightful power.
In light of the coalition, the
woman, alone, does not stand a chance to stop the great mission of “the
messenger” and his cohorts.
The vision shows a picture of a male
nation, called Edom, arousing other male nations (*perhaps female as
well) to gang-up on or “gang-bang” with violence, a hapless female.
Literally, the female is a “damsel in distress!”
However, standing up as The Champion
on behalf of a “damsel in distress”, the intended victim, is the LORD
GOD ALMIGHTY HIMSELF…The STAR, The CHAMPION, The HEROE of the Vision.
While Edom is identified in the
vision, the very special entity or precious person of GOD Around whom
such a major international uproar, furor and tumult is swirling, is not
as yet named, nor revealed at this time or juncture in the vision -
Scripture. However, a basic Bible, Tanach, or even Koran student
would know who this entity is!
-
The pride of your heart has deceived you, you that
dwell in the cleft of the rock, whose habitation is high; that says in
his heart, “Who shall bring me down to the ground?”
·
“When pride comes, then comes shame”
Proverbs 11:2; “Only by pride comes contention” Proverbs 13:10; “In the
mouth of the foolish is a rod of pride” Proverbs 14:3; Pride goes before
destruction, and before a haughty spirit before a fall” Proverbs 18; “A
man’s pride shall bring him low” Proverbs 29:23
Apparently, there is something in
the heart, spirit, soul, emotions, and intellect of the
ambassador/source – Edom that has caused him/it to fall into
self-deception!
Perhaps that “something” can be
revealed in the “message” whereby the invasion, attack, “battle” or war
as intended victims is justified.
The self-influence of the ambassador
entity is so great that he says “in his heart”, and somehow tricks
himself into believing enough to justifiably take violent action against
the woman.
Edom’s self-deception is so deep “in
his heart” that he thinks that even his allies don’t know his
dark secret intent and what he believes himself to be in light of the
whole matter, controversy, and conflict stemming from his apparently
clear resentment against the woman.
At a point in the vision, it is
fortunate and ironic for Edom that his co-conspirators harbor similar
sentiments against the woman in their hearts as well.
However, Edom commits his biggest,
last and fatal mistake through his self-deception.
Edom’s self destructive delusion is
so powerful and secret, that he genuinely thinks that even his allies
are to be eventually and ultimately subjugated under him as revealed
when he says “in his heart”, who “shall bring me
down to the ground?” (* not even his allies – the “who” includes his
allies)
In going along with his scheme
against the woman, his fellow conspirators are either not aware
of his thoughts, or perhaps they are and are utilizing his
self deception for their own purposes, thereby deceiving him.
They too have their own agenda against the woman and seek her possession
as well.
Hence, “The enemy of my enemy is my
friend, until we vanquish my enemy. Then my friend will be my
enemy again!” This is a foolish human nature “thing”.
Perhaps this “secret” and the
behavior of Edom becomes the very source of the nations’ resentment, as
they found/find/ will find out his secret intents and sentiments.

The term “cleft of the rock” could
mean the “rock” of the Holy Scriptures. The Hebrew Scripture is
the “Rock” – the Word of GOD.
The cleft is the apparent or
seemingly split or open space in the Rock. The Holy Writ is the
Hebrews Holy Scriptures – Torah/Tanach the so-called Old Testament or
Old Covenant of The GOD of Israel; and the Hebrews Scriptures are
commonly known as the New Testament or New Covenant of The GOD of
Israel. It defines or describes the relationship between GOD and
humanity.
Also, the “cleft” is a place of
refuge from any and all harm that could befall a person.
EXAMPLE: When Moses, who had
deep personal relationship with The GOD of Israel, asked to see HIS
Face, i.e., Glory in totality, he was refused for obvious reasons.
However, The LORD Did provide for the humble Moses to get a glimpse of
HIS Back parts lest he die. Note:
“And The LORD Said, ‘Behold, there
is a place by ME, and you shall stand upon a rock: And it shall come to
pass, while MY Glory passes by, that I Will put thee in a clift of the
rock, and will cover thee with MY Hand while I pass by: And I will take
away MINE Hand, and you shall see my back parts: but MY FACE Shall not
be seen.” {Exodus 33:20-23}
One set of scriptures highlights
Moses a Hebrew, Israelite, Jew – in the Torah/Tanach or “Old Covenant”,
the other set focuses on Jesus Christ, also Hebrew, Israelite, Jew –
“New Covenant”.
Both scriptures features GOD HIMSELF
in the Staring Role, of course revealing the oneness of the Scripture
Rock, which has a “cleft”, not a split or division, but rather a
“cut” – wound, perhaps, in “the side”. A place where “something”
can be placed, hide, take refuge, etc.
The individual who has deceived
himself – Edom, somehow has found his way into what he thinks and
believes is that “cleft”, and is working something sinister from that
refuge or habitation which is “high”.
The word “high” is generally
utilized by Hebrew Holy Scriptures as being associated with GOD HIMSELF
and human being that desires to be with HIM Must be humble – contrite,
not filled with self-pride. Note:
“…but he that puts his trust in ME Shall posses the land,
and shall inherit MY Holy Mountain;…For so says The High and Lofty ONE
that inhabits eternity, whose Name is HOLY; I Dwell in the High
and Holy Place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit,
to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the
contrite ones.” {Prophet Isaiah 57:13,15}
Also, “He that dwells in the secret
place of The MOST HIGH Shall abide in the shadow of The ALMIGHTY.
I will say of The LORD, HE Is my refuge and my fortress, my GOD; In HIM
Will I trust. {Psalms 91:1}
This is not so with Edom, but is
rather the very opposite of his attitude, whose heart-spirit is of
self-deceiving pride – “The pride of your heart has deceived you.”
Intoxicated by his pride, Edom has
deceived/deceives/will deceive himself deep within his heart, and
proclaims his invincibility as though h e really sits in the
“cleft” seat with GOD HIMSELF or even seeing himself or his fabricated
deity or religion as GOD.
(* “habitation” = the abode,
dwelling place is associated with the Throne of GOD From where HE Rules
the universe from within the seat of GOD – “Justice and Judgment are the
habitation of YOUR Throne…” (* Psalms 89:14), and GOD Dwells in Mt. Zion
from which HE Roars (the Prophet Joel 3:16,17)
There is now the combination of
ROCK-Scripture, “high” – “habitation” the “cleft” of Jew/Christian as
Edom attempts to ease himself into the apparent gap in order to
carry-out the evil plan against his intended victim, the woman and
eventually his allies in the confederacy.
Note: In Eretz Israel there are the
ruins of an ancient Arab - Edom city famous for being carved into the
rocks of a mountain called Petra. Petra in ancient language mean
“rock”!
Also, note that Edom-Esau has found or devised a
“religion” - Islam written in a book of “scriptures” about a deity –
Allah, and its’ messenger – Mohammed and Muslims which is combination
or configuration of the two sets of Hebrew Scriptures. A blatant
plagiarism! If all references to the Hebrew Scriptures were
removed from the Koran, there would be extremely little or nothing
left to the religion of Islam.

4. Though you exalt yourself
as the eagle, and though you set your nest among the stars, from there
will I bring you down, says the LORD.
Edom’s pride through his
self-deception has led him to think that he is so powerful and
righteous be his diety, that nothing can stop his intentions to carry out the
onslaught against the woman.
Edom-Esau in self deception has made
and exalted-lifted himself to a level of high governance
or
religious polity over all others
and like the eagle, pretending to spiritually “see” (* like the eagle
high in the sky) life and issues better than anyone else…with the divine
authority to execute judgment such as to
subjugate,
levy taxes and even kill others who rejects his godly authority.
* “For The LORD Says; Behold, he
shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread HIS Wings over Moab.”
Prophet Jeremiah 48:40
So by feigning or self-deceiving, Esau
sees himself be as is GOD in HIS Seat or Throne as judge and executioner
against all others who do not see life matters (religion, politics,
culture, etc) as he does.
The statement “setting your nest
among the stars”, Edom may think that his followers are so numerous that
by shear numbers alone (1 1/3 billion on one singular mindset), he can easily overwhelm any other peoples.
Perhaps, this is a part of his confidence that inspires him to take the
action for a final solution against Jacob the intended victim, once and for
all.
Also, perhaps, it may be his
deception that he thinks that those “stars” are supportive of his plan,
but actually are not.
However, apparently Edom was/is
capable of carrying out his boastful intentions because the LORD Himself
has to intervene with HIS Unquestionable Word of “…from there will
I Bring you down.”
> Notice, HE Does not bring down the
“stars” but rather extracts the would be “eagle” and his “nest” which is
the place of dwelling, the breeding and hatching of others like himself
– headquarters or The Base of operations (* Al Qaeda?)
Also, when GOD Gave to Abraham the
Promise, The LORD Said to him that his seed will be as numerous as the
stars of heaven! (* Genesis 15:5; 22:17; 26:4; Exodus 32:13),
perhaps Edom planned/is planning to influence or take control over the
“stars”, or even assume the right to the stars that belongs to another.
The “stars” representing the
heavenly or/and spiritual realm where Esau has exalted himself causing
lowly earth walker to look up to him as something celestially endowed
over them that must be submitted on bended knees and obeyed.
Also, perhaps the “stars" may be a great
or primary portion of the possessions or even the very “substance” that
belongs to the woman, which is the cause of the violence against
her by Esau. (revised 1/05/07)
-
If thieves came to
thee, if robbers by night, (how are you cut off!) would they not have
stolen till they had enough? If the grape gatherers came to you;
would they not leave some grapes?
It appears that that the devastation from GOD Upon
Edom-Esau is so great that the LORD GOD Likens it to thieves or robbers
who were so vicious that they left nothing in the house which was broken
into. Also, HE Likens the devastation to grape gathers not even
leaving grapes to glean.
-
How are the things
of Esau searched out! How are his hidden things sought up!
The whole world is wondering about the Islamic-Muslim,
the apparent Edomite entity movement and is questioning, “What is the
mystery and source of the anger and/or madness displayed against the
woman?”
Apparently, the big secret of
Esau’s intentions are exposed by GOD before the whole world.
Remember verse 3?!? “The pride of
your heart has deceived you, you that dwell in the cleft of the rock,
whose habitation is high; that says in his heart, “Who shall bring me
down to the ground?”
What is this secret at the heart of
the Islamic-Muslim movement?
-
All the men of your confederacy have brought you even
to the border: the men that were at peace with you have deceived
you, and prevailed against you; they that eat your bread have laid a
wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.
It looks like the “confederacy”,
that is, those “nations” to whom Esau sent the “message” to “…rise up
against her in battle” have apparently suddenly discovered and realized
the “hidden things” in his “heart” or decided for some reason to reveal
that they perhaps already know his secret intentions and what has been
bothering him all along, in that they do the following:
- Somehow this confederacy brings or
had been deluding Esau or giving him such an impression of loyal
partnership in his plan that they “brought” him “even to the
border:” that is, the confederacy encouraged Edom in his dastardly deed
to cross “the border” and unjustly take possession of another’s
property.
Ø
This “border” seems to be something
ominous in the sight of GOD, Because HE Says “even” which indicates that
their leadership (deceptive or inadvertently) in the matter had been
bringing some very incredible acts against “her”.
Ø
When it comes to “the border”,
apparently there is a certain boundary on the earth that holds special
significance to GOD.
Ø
Any student of the Torah would know
that there is only one such boundary or border that has special meaning to
the LORD GOD, And that is the one since antiquity that outlines the
territory given by HIM To Abraham and his seed of Isaac and Jacob-Israel
and their children after them. The so-called Holy Land.
~ Please Note those borders in the Book of Genesis authored by Moses.
(* Genesis 12:1-7; 13:14 -18; 15:7 -21; 17:1- 8;)
Ø
The great conflict apparently has to
do with “the border”, that is, the ownership of the land and all the
inheritance that goes with.
Ø
It looks as though this is the reason
for the “rise against her” message of Esau, which has to do with “the
border” – land and something that it signifies.
- “The men” or the confederacy who
apparently entered into the alliance to “rise up against her” were
obviously at some kind of “peace” with Edom-Esau, but apparently it
was/is a deception because they “have deceived thee”.
- Also, the deception by the men of
the confederacy proves to be fatal to Esau-Edom, because they
“have prevailed against…” him. They in some cruel way turn on
Esau-Edomite entity.
Ø
It appears that the confederate
nations were simply using Esau-Edom for their own intended purposes, which
just happens to be the same as his.
Ø
Secretly, the nations had a disdain
for Edom-Esau all along. Remember verse 2, “Behold, I have made you
small among the nations: you are greatly despised.”
Ø
The confederate nations were actually
using Esau-Edom to achieve their own objective to destroy “her”…the woman.
- Eating bread with someone signifies
a warm relationship of fellowship and trust. Yet, the confederate
nations seems to be exploiting or agitating some deep-seated, emotional
hurt in Esau in the conflict that they have been brought into, because
they “…have laid a wound” under Esau-
- “Bread”, also meaning life source
of whatsoever kind that the confederates so obsessively eat could very
well be the oil of the Arab Middle East by which their lives function.
- In fact, this old wound existed
long before Esau’s new friends or allies were even nations themselves,
of whom he thinks that he inspired to join or confederate with him.
Ø
It appears that the confederates are
purposely agitating something that greatly bothers Esau, which causes him
to be emotional unbalanced, intellectually irrational and even
self-destructive in his foolish acts of aggression.
Ø
In fact, the “…none understanding in
him…” appears to be two kinds of ignorance is afflicting Edom.
~ One is,
that Esau is ignorant of the conspiracy against him by the Confederates;
~ The other
is that Edom is ignorant of the fact that GOD sees into his dark heart and
is aware of his evil intentions and of what GOD ALMIGHTY Has in store for
him because of them;
Ø
The “wound” is apparently deep and
ancient, which is recorded in the Book of Genesis having to do with a
breach between Edom-Esau and someone else!
Ø
Esau’s pain and suffering from this
“wound” is so intense that like an injured wild animal, he has gone mad
with anger over it, even imagining or hallucinating something that is
totally irrational and self-destructive.
8. Shall I not in that day, says the
LORD, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the
mount of Esau?
The Sudden, Unexpected End
of Terrorism and the Purveyors of Such
-
The term “wise
men” are those who are endowed with knowledge/science and the ability to
convey it for good or evil. They are philosophers, intellectuals,
teachers, etc.
-
Specifically,
GOD Is targeting these particular “wise” individuals in Edom because
they are the leaders, elders, “the heads” in Esau. As teachers,
they give the instructions and reasons for them. They justify and
order the attacks.
-
In this
matter, it is the “heads” in Mt. Esau, that is, those who are first and
foremost spiritual, followed by the governmental, then others.
Note: “…begin with the elders…” (* Ezekiel 9:1-6) Israel is
GOD’s model for all nations.
-
It is possible
that these particular leaders are both, intellectual, governmental and
spiritual, because the devastation by GOD Upon their followers is so
absolute?
-
Also, it is to
be noted that the oppressive group of Muslims that ruled over
Afghanistan, deposed by the United States, and is now an insurgency
against the same is called the Taliban, which means Students.
Students of what?!? Students of Islam.
-
According to
Muslim scholars, Islam is not merely a religion, but is also a body
politic or polity that many and various theocratic states…governments,
are moving towards an ultimate global empire or caliphate, obviously
“knee-bending-bowing” under the imposed teachings of their prophet
Mohammed, messenger of the Islamic deity.
-
Furthermore,
it is the stated mission of the Koran that all Muslims are to do all
within their reach to help the “wise men”, imams, ayatollahs, ministers,
teachers, et al to subjugate the whole world under Islam…including the
infidel confederates eventually.
Ø
Note there are not women Muslim
scholars, imams, ayatollahs, ministers, etc.
- The term, “that day” is one that is
often seen in the Scriptures, which relates to a period of a DIVINE time
for retribution or reward upon any and all segments of humanity for
rebellion against or good works towards the LORD GOD Upon HIS
Throne…Seat of Authority.
Ø
That “day” could indicate a certain
period time in the form of days, weeks, months, years, millennia, a single
24 hours, even one hour or moments. The “day” would depend on the
circumstance and context in which it is utilized.
Ø
While “that day” is generally ominous,
it is also considered a time in which the obedient children of GOD would
be blessed, redeemed, rescued, saved, etc.
9.
And your mighty men, O Te’man, shall be dismayed, to the end that everyone
of the mount Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
The term “mighty men” in Scripture, is
generally associated with great and specialized warriors, such as
Commandos, Rangers, Green Beret et all. Hebrew scriptures speaks of
King David’s “mighty men of valor”
These were not ordinary
soldiers or fighters or warriors. They are specially trained and
very powerful.
However, there is something perhaps
sinister about these particular rangers and commandos that causes the
ALMIGHTY GOD, The Ultimate Warrior-Soldier HIMSELF to be angered at them.
Apparently, these “mighty men” are,
have been, and will be so *ferocious, *furious, *cruel and merciless upon the
children of Jacob-Israel, that GOD The Fighter HIMSELF Goes into battle on
behalf of HIS precious Remnant peoples.
*ferocious - vicious, fierce, unruly,
wild, brutal…
*furious – upset, infuriated, livid,
fuming, enraged, incensed, irate, angry, mad (nutty, crazy, insane)…
* cruel – mean, nasty, vindictive,
brutal, unkind, pitiless, spiteful, merciless, malicious…
Ironically, the “mighty men” of Te’man,
who cause “everyone in the mount of Esau” to “be cut off by slaughter”,
are strikingly familiar with modern Arab-Muslim terrorist.
Te’man is another identity for Mt.
Esau and Edom. GOD Does something violent to the “mighty men” of O
Te’man that dismays them “that everyone may be cut off in the Mt. Esau” by
what appears to be a violent conflict. [Monday, October 30,2006]
Apparently, the “cut off” will be by
some kind of massive, whole sale violence – a counter violence that
will see the end of the “everyone” in mount Esau. Slaughter –
massacre, butcher, eliminate, annihilate, wipe completely out, and that
with great violence.
GOD Causes Esau to be slaughtered by
violence either directly from HIM or some other earthly entities, perhaps
the confederacy itself or Jacob-Israel, the State, or even some internal
eruption.
An
intifada – uprising within Esau himself!
Hence, the Arab conflict with Arabs…not Israel.
Islam will go through the final
throws of upheaval resulting from its fatal wound that it received on the
day that Israel was re-born on May 15,1948.
On that day, Muslim scholars of Islam
cried out Al – Nacgh bar (*spelling may not be correct) – Arab for “The
Catastrophe”.
Muslims scholars have always feared
such a dreaded day in which what they believed and practiced for so long
(1400 years), to be “…the truth, whole truth and nothing but the truth”,
is either unrealistic or outright false.
Such a revelation would mean that the
prophet lied and/or there is no deity in the religion (Allah, et al) of
the House of Esau, thereby making it meaningless and must be immediately
abandoned.
Al Nagbar
– the catastrophe of their faith. It is the end of the Islam.
Or, because the Muslims failed
to fulfill the mission given to them by the prophet of the Islamic deity,
that is, to convert or subdue the whole world under Islam,
especially, the western world or at least to destroy its intended victim.
However, the greatest and worst
failure of all, is that this particularly generation of Muslims, like no
other in all their history since the time of Mohammed 1400 years ago have
allowed the re-birth and even flourishing of Israel, the subject of their
disdain and fear….the cause of all of Esau’s woes.
The Catastrophe
is the death of Islam…the hope of the children in Esau-Edom, while Jews
and the House of Israel is at long last rescued, delivered, and saved.
However, according to the doctrine of
Islam, whoever refuses to fight in the “cause of Allah” or fails in the
great mission is in danger of going to hell on the Day of Judgment,
Recognizing their hopeless state of
failure and in dire need for heavenly and earthly affirmation, perhaps,
the people “stars” of mount Esau became weary of the words and deeds of
the “wise” men and their “mighty men”, and the troubles that they cause
them.
The followers of Islam’s leaders
- “wise men” – scholars become so irate with the suffering brought upon
them that they were or will become willing to abandon over 1400 (fourteen
hundred) years of the faith of their fathers.
In rebelling against the ancient
traditions, they find the courage to overthrow their religious fear-terror
along with the power endowed upon them from the GOD of Israel HIMSELF.
The “everyone” could either be all
the people in mount Esau or the “everyone” is specifically addressed to
the “mighty men” and the scholars – the “heads” who are apparently under
the tutelage of the “ambassador” and who sends out the “mighty men” –
terrorist (?), to commit the horrific acts of violence – terrorism on
Jacob-Israel.
There seems to be an option for the
children of Esau to either flee the House and Mount of Esau or remain in
it with the “mighty men” of Te’man where everyone in it will be “cut off
by slaughter” – totally destroyed.
“Holy”
Jihad Warriors
At this point,
it is to be noted that in the beliefs of the Islamic religion (the Jihad –
never ending Holy War against humanity or until humanity submits to the
will of Allah, to become Muslim even to Taqwa), there are two classes of
warriors or soldiers waging it…they are the scholars with their pen
& spoken words; and the soldiers with their swords…who carry out
the physical violence or fatwahs of death.
These “holy” warriors-soldiers of the
Islamic deity, are generally led by certain warlords who either inherited
their position from their fathers, fore fathers and ancestors by clan
traditions of declared themselves as such, i.e. the late leader of Al
Queda.
The scholar interprets the teachings
of the Koran and dictates them to Muslims. The Muslims hear the
words of the scholars and executes them on humanity. The “sword of
Islam” is violence to the soul and body of any human being who does not
“bend the knee-bow down” – become Muslim, even to Taqua, to the deity
identified in the Koran.
Interestingly, unlike any other
religions, Islam throughout its’ history, from the beginning is quite
particularly known for its’ VIOLENCE, himself, others and of course the
children of Israel.
Even today, it is said that there are
around twenty-two violent conflicts on earth and 20-21 are between Muslims
and somebody else. “Wars and rumors of wars”
While it is the soldiers-militants who carries
out the physical violence of Jihad, it is the scholar who is
thought of by all in Islam as the greater and most holy of the two.
Without the intellectual prowess of
the “God-gifted” scholar, the faith of the religion can not be known and
spread abroad.
The scholars mind – intelligence and
that of his deity become one in agreement of purpose, i.e., “the will of
Allah”.
Due to the special intellectual
relationship with Allah, the scholar has reached Taqwa, which militantly
believing as the highest levels
of total surrender to will of Allah, hence the imam, ayatollah, minister,
teacher is Muslim of Muslims – a leader worthy to be obeyed in the Jihad
by the warriors…even unto death.
- Again, we are reminded of the
identity of the “wise men” who are the scholars that bring about such a
calamity upon the peoples of Esau - Also, it is to be noted that the
oppressive group of Muslims that ruled over Afghanistan, deposed by the
United States, and is now an insurgency against the same is called the
Taliban…which means Students. Students of what?!? Students
of Islam.
- The leading group of Muslims in
Iraq for the Sunni is called the Association of Muslim Scholars.
Scholars – the “wise men”. Note there are not women Muslim
scholars, imams, ayatollahs, ministers, etc., just men. Perhaps,
the women will escape the wrath.
Also, depending on the popular power
of the intellectual, he is or becomes a candidate who could ascend to the
great heights in Islam of being “the one”- leader who brings about the
prophesied, ultimate global Caliphate
even the Grand Mufti or Twelfth Iman, and
fulfill the “mission” given to by the religious polity,
and fulfill the “mission” given to the of the
religion. [Monday, November 12,2006]
-
For your
violence against your brother Jacob shame shall cover you, and you shall
be cut off for ever.
"Kill the Christians on Sunday, kill the Jews on
Saturday," as well as "Kill a Jew and save your soul".
The late, Yasser Arafat
This is the first time that the
intended victim of Edom, Mt. Esau is named. It is Jacob, Esau’s
paternal
twin brother. Here lays the crux of the whole generational
and ancient Arab-Israeli Conflict.
It becomes more apparent that the
“ambassador” is come on behalf of the militant, military-minded Esau, who wants nations of the world to
rally with him in a violent attack upon the “her” which is clearly
metaphorically Jacob, Edom’s own flesh and blood brother.
Esau’s crazed violence against his brother is
duly noted by GOD ALMIGHTY Who rules over all nations – political
governmental entities and/as well as ethnicities of the world, raising up
some and taking down others as HE Wills.
Noting here again: Nations are either
or both political governmental entities and/or/as well as ethnicities,
races, etc! So therefore, the “ambassador” is one who seeks
and apparently is able to muster or cause a coming together –
unification of many and varied kinds of peoples, races, ethnicities, etc.
in the world. Truly, an international cause!
The “message” of international union
is the featured highlight of Islam, which is to destroy and replace Israel
as the Chosen of GOD.
* Muslims of Islam, pride themselves
on the fact that the religion has captivated all races and ethnicities
around globe as it intends and whose mission is subdue all peoples under
the edicts of its Prophet and his deity, or at least dying trying –
Shahdeen, i.e., martyrdom…the “ticket” to eternal Paradise.
The madness of Esau’ violent militancy is so
strong and especially unwarranted, that GOD Is going to cover him with
shame.
Shame because, Esau’s argument and
acts of vengeful violence in the long conflict is based on half truths,
falsehoods and outright lies, even attempting to implicate the Lord GOD of
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob-Israel in his crime.
However, the “cut off” from GOD Is not
merely a physical punishment for a period of time, but also Esau-Edom’s
heritage and it will be forever.
This terrifying event from The LORD
GOD ALMIGHTY upon Edom-Mt Esau is due to his wild, “violence” against his
brother Jacob, “…shame shall cover you,
and you shall be cut off forever.” GOD Was/is not going to
put up with Esau’s unwarranted extreme violence against his brother any
longer.
This whole scenario begins with the
threat-promise, then acts of violence and concluding with GOD’s
Retribution upon the perpetrator of the “violence” that gets the attention
of the LORD GOD HIMSELF.
It appears that the certain ambassador
with a certain message of violence against Jacob, the brother of militant Esau, is
none other than the Prophet Mohammed and his message from the deity of the
Islam. “…an ambassador is sent among
the nations, “Arise you, and let us rise up against her in battle.”
:01; and
“For your violence
” :10
When Jews refused to surrender their
heritage to militant Mohammed, the prophet of Islam viciously-militarily attacked them and
everyone else who not submit themselves to him and his message.
The religion of the scholars teaches
that Islam is supreme over all other spiritual understandings of life that
is society, government, religion, and thereby can order its’ adherents to
destroy them all.
However, Judaism of the House of
Jacob-Israel is especially by no means to have the rule or dominance over
that of the militant Esau’s, no to have equality with Edom, but is rather to be totally
destroyed-final solution.
With Koran promises from Allah of
heavenly pleasures, including an abundance of sexual intercourse with
virgins, et al, the wily scholars order the “swordsmen”, men of extreme
violence, fear and terrors – “Te’mans mighty men” - militants to annihilate Israel or
perish as a martyrs, because for Jacobs’ House and faith to live, is the
death of Esau’s and its’ Islamic deity.
In Esau’s thinking, there can’t be two
promised nations, but rather only one and that is his own under Islam.
This is why the “wise-men” have taught the peoples of Islam to madly shout
“Death to Israel” in the “Arab Streets”
It is ominous, foreboding and
extremely troubling to Muslim scholars, yet joy
to the children of Abraham, Isaac and Jacobs that since May 15,1948, which
is the date of Israel’s re-birth as a spiritual political entity according
to the prophecies of the Hebrew prophets.
The return of Jews to Eretz Israel is
the lead witness against Islam conceived out of resentment in the house of
Esau. Terrified of the prospects of the May 15,1948, the
Arab-Muslim scholars of Esau-Edom’s House was, “Al Naghbar” that is, “The
Catastrophe” – the end of Islam.
The re-birth of Israel is catastrophic
to the existence of the Koran-Islam and consequently, the house of Esau,
even the very existence of Allah the deity of the religion.
Bereft of the Promise & the Blessings
derived from the Abraham Inheritance and Birth Rights, the Islam of the
Koran and its’ message brought abroad by the messenger-prophet, was the
last vestige of hope for Esau’s House.
Arab scholars have taught from the
time of Mohammed – messenger-prophet to now, that “the” Jews are forever
cursed of GOD due to their rebellion, rejection the truth, spurning the
Love of GOD, even rejection of Jesus Christ, the House, the Legacies and
Heritages thereof, including the Land of Jacob-Israel is forever no more;
but rather deceptive “wise-men” the House of Esau is now consider
themselves to be the Chosen of GOD of via Abraham and Ishmael and Mohammed
in the stead of Israel.
As a result of the supposed eternal
curse upon the House of Jacob-Israel, Esau thinks that he has regained
that which his conniving brother “stole” or “tricked” him out of in
antiquity, and that he is the now not merely the new, nor even replaced,
but the original Chosen of GOD.
Remember, it was Esau, the paternal
twin brother of Jacob whom Isaac had chosen to give the Promise of the
Inheritance, and the latter.
It is this mindset that gives
Esau-Edom license and justification for the violence that he mercilessly
perpetrates against his brother Jacob-Israel.
In the book, “The Meaning of The Holy
Qur’an” by Abdullah Yusuf Ali, New Edition with Revised Translation and
Commentary, American Trust Publications, these words are written in the
teachings of the Koran concerning GOD Replacing Jacob as HIS Witness
Jacob-with Esau…
C. 49. – “But those people have passed away,
Who promised to uphold the Law of Allah.
Their progeny having been found Unworthy, their place was
taken
By a new people looking towards Makkah –
A new people with a new Messenger,
To bear witness to Allah’s Law,
To proclaim the truth, maintain
His Symbols, and strive and fight
For Unity in Allah’s Way.”
Essentially, the teaching says that
the Hebrews, Israelites, the children of Jacob, modern Jews and Israeli’s
abandoned the Will of GOD – Adonai, El El Elohim, et al, Whom the scholars
erroneously associate the deity of Islam with, have lost “their place”.
The “wise-men” that the special
identity has been transferred or re-taken “by a new people looking
to Mecca, with a new Messenger” bearing “witness” via a state of war with
the whole world.
Yet, look and behold, that in the Holy Hebrew Scriptures it
is written of Israel a message from GOD ALMIGHTY, “But now thus says the
LORD that created thee, O Jacob, and HE That formed thee O Israel, ‘Fear
not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art
MINE.”
“Ye are MY Witnesses, says the LORD, and My Servant
whom I Have chosen; that you may know and believe ME, and
understand that I Am HE: before ME There was no GOD Formed, neither shall
there be after Me. I, Even I, am The LORD; and Beside ME There is no
Savior.
I have declared, and have saved, and I Have showed, when
there was not a strange god among you: therefore ye are MY Witnesses,
says the LORD, that I am GOD.” Isaiah 43:1-9,10-1
“Yet now hear, O Jacob MY Servant; and
Israel, whom I Have chosen: Fear ye not, neither be afraid: have not I
Told thee from that time, and have declared it? Ye are MY Witnesses.
Is there not a GOD Beside Me? Yea, there is no GOD; I Know not any.”
44:1-8
This is clear vision. It is this
very belief and practice is why Jews rightly rejected Mohammad and his
deity as Messiah.
And perhaps, this could be the
very cause for which the nations - peoples of the world finally turn
on Esau and his religious polity of fear and death that they entrapped
themeselves in. * Verse 2
Part II
11. In the day that you stood
on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away captive his
forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon
Jerusalem, even you were as one of them.
Throughout history, there has been an
ongoing “conflict” between the children of Esau-Edom and those of
Jacob-Israel. Also included in this dispute are the children of
Ishmael, the half and elder brother of Isaac, both sons of Abraham,
founder of The Faith.
- Ishmael, the son of Abraham and
Hagar, and Egyptian-African-Black woman
- Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarai
– Sarah, the cousin of Abraham
- Though Ishmael was the elder son,
GOD Did not choose him to be the Promised Seed, the Heir of the Promise,
but rather, it was reserved for Isaac the younger.
Ø
Only GOD Himself knows why HE Chose –
chooses the younger Isaac instead of Ishmael…for on the surface, it seems
unjust.
This conflict can be witnessed in the
Torah and Tenach from the days of Genesis up through the times of the
rebuilding of the wall and city of Jerusalem and Second Temple, during the
prophetic eras of Ezra and Nehemiah and apparently to the destruction of
Jerusalem and upgraded Second Temple in 70 AD by the Romans.
Often times the term “in the day” or
“in that day” usually referred to a significant moment of either Blessings
or Cursing – judgments or chastisements from GOD for or against Israel
and/or other nations.
When Roman legions destroyed
Jerusalem, “that day” set in motion two thousand (2,000) years of Jews,
the children of Jacob-Israel into a state of turmoil, unsettledness, and
wondering throughout the nations of the earth. Hence, “wondering
Jew”!
The third Diaspora of the Hebrews or
Israelites! It was/is an unprecedented catastrophe for the people of
GOD.
“In the day” is mentioned twice in one
verse, giving significance to the events of the time.
GOD Notices something about what Esau
did/will do “in the day”, which is the first in a series of offenses
against Jacob in his “time of troubles” that caused GOD To bring about the
kind of retribution that HE Worked/Will work on Edom. They are:
- “you
stood on the other side” –
Instead of standing with and aiding his brother (Jacob-Israel who
is not only his brother, but his maternal twin –bone of his bone, flesh
of his flesh, blood of his blood) , Esau simply stood around watching
the whole disaster.
~
Unlike Ishmael and Isaac, Esau and Jacob have the same mother and father,
and even
grandmother and grandfather.
-
“even you were as one
of them,” GOD Charges Edom as being
“one of them”, because
he was so obsessed with his own brothers demise that Esau applauded the
Roman legions as they broke into Jerusalem waging “total war”
slaughtering thousands of Jews (the children of his brother), destroying
the Second Temple, and casting lots for the treasures, and taking away
the survivors of the Jewish army, including the men, women and children
into slavery.
-
“…in
the day that strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners
entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem., even you were as
one of them,”
12 But you should not have looked on the day of your brother
in the day he became a stranger; neither should you have rejoiced over the
children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither should you have
spoken proudly in the day of distress.
“On the day” there were certain things
that Esau should not have done as it relates to Jacobs “troubles” such as
merely “looking on” and not helping him.
Rather, Edom “looked on” searching for
some way to take advantage of the situation that his brother was in “the
day” that “he became a stranger (homeless, wonderer)”.
Esau should not have “rejoiced over
the children of Judah ‘in the day’ of their destruction.”
Edom should not “have spoken proudly
‘in the day’ of distress.”
When the Romans destroyed Jerusalem
and her inhabitants in 70 AD, the local Arabs “looked on”; “rejoiced”; and
“spoke proudly” as they stood on “the other side” against ther brother
Jacob.
Even as it is today, when terrible
thing happens to Jews in Eretz Israel or elsewhere (such as a terrorist
strike against Jewish civilians, or even a natural calamity or accident),
so-called Palestinians and Arab Muslims the world over celebrate the
tragedy, and speaking proudly, even in the name of the Islam.
And if that were not enough, the
children of Esau seek opportunities to take advantage of tragic situations
that befalls his brother Jacob as their ancient ancestors did in 70 AD.
13.
You
should not have entered in the gate of my people in the day of their
calamity; yes, you should not have looked on their calamity, nor have laid
hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.
Three (3) times in this verse, the
LORD Mentions the word
“calamity”, “calamity”, “calamity”.
Apparently when he “looked” and saw
the calamity of what was happening to his rival brother, Jacob, Esau would
“rejoice” and “speak proudly”, actually “entered into the * gate” of GOD’s
People “in ‘the day’ of their calamity”.
The word “gate” would have several
meaning depending on the context in which it is being utilized such as:
- An actual physical opening through
which people and animals would pass through into or out of a walled city
or town;
- Often, the physical gate area was
where the elders would gather to discuss matters of the communities and
make decisions – or place of authority;
- Anyone going uninvited through a
gate into a city, as did the Romans into Jerusalem means that they have
intent of taking the possessions and/or substances that belongs to the
inhabitants thereof.
This is not only a physical entering
into the destroyed Jewish city of Jerusalem seeking spoils, but also into
the * authority of Jewish identity and “laid hands on their substance” –
the inheritance from Abraham, Isaac, Jacob-Israel, claiming it as their
own.
The “Day of calamity” is mentioned
thrice, in which Esau chose to plunder Jacobs identity – birthright and
“substance” – inheritance.
Mount Esau is attempting National
Identity Theft. Mt. Esau is seeking to replace Mt. Zion.
This is a part of what the LORD GOD Calls “The Controversy of Zion”.
It is also at the center of the Arab – Conflict with Israel.
By placing or building the Al Aqsa
Mosque and the Dome of the Rock on the Temple Mount of Zion, Esau has
essentially brought the gate of Teman into the Sanctuary of the Place
where the GOD of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob has set HIS Earthly Throne.
14.
Neither should you have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his
that did escape; neither should have delivered up those of his that did
remain in the day of distress.
History records that whenever
suffering Jews – Jacobs children attempted to escape calamities, the
Arab House of Esau would seek to prevent them from doing so by standing
in their ways against them and would even betray them over their enemies
in the “day of distress”
A prime example of this constant
attack upon the children of Jacob can be seen as far back as when Israel
was being instructed by his GOD To leave the captivity of Babylon and
return to Jerusalem to rebuild its wall and temple.
First,
there is the case in which Jews were rebuilding the temple and the city
of Jerusalem, until an international coalition of Arabs – the House of
Esau/Edom campaigned against them to the King of Pershia and the work
was stopped. See Book of Ezra 4:1-24 Hebrew Holy Scriptures
Of course, the reconstruction effort
was restored after a final attempt from the House of Esau to prevent the
work. See Ezra 5 & 6
- Interestingly, it appears that
some one(s) were networking other nations and peoples into a movement
to stop the children of Jacob from achieving their GOD Ordained
mission, even as we can observe in Obadiah’s vision that is some sort
of effort against Jacob. As there were ambassadors against the
Jews in the times of Ezra, so is there an “ambassador” with a message
as seen in the vision today. Obadiah 1,2.
- As anyone can see, there are Arab
forces today standing in the way of Israel’s progress.
Second,
see the Book of Nehemiah 2:17 – 20; & 4:1-23
- Again, Jews were facing a
conspiracy led by the House of Esau to stop the building of the city
of Jerusalem, even today, Arabs resist not only a viable State of
Israel in the Eretz Israel with its borders, and Jerusalem, the
Capitol of the Jews, but they are actually seeking to disposes the
children of Jacob of their very Inheritance, Birthright and Promise,
i.e. “Jacob’s substance”.
15.
For
the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations: as you have done, it
shall be done to you: your reward shall return upon your own head.
The “Day of the LORD” or “in That
Day” is upon the nations as well. Perhaps for their age-old
resentment against and jealousy of Israel is why they are included with
the fate of Esau;
According to the Holy Scriptures,
the maturing of Israel and Eretz Israel ends the nations oppressions
against the Children of Jacob/Israel. It signals that their “cup
of iniquity is nearly full” (rebellion against GOD’s Plan for and around
Israel).
The nations have always had a
vendetta against Israel most especially those of Christian Europe who
like the Arab House of Esau “authorized” by it religion…Islam, have
sought to usurp the identity of Jacobs Children and even steal their
Birth Right, by any means necessary, especially by violence.
The Final Solution.
However, the GOD of their
inheritance recalls the record of oppression against HIS Children and
now in the Day of the LORD’s Judgment and HE will repay them for their
unwarranted attacks upon Jacob.
16. For as you
have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink
continually, yes, they shall drink, and
they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.
It seems that the nations of the
world who have despised Israel and looked jealously upon his substance
have “drunk” that very substance that belongs exclusively to Jacob and
his children, that is, the claiming of Holy Things on Zion.
Muslims have not been the only ones
who has attempted to dispossess Jews of their status with GOD and
replace them with themselves, but Christians have done even more so for
the last 1800 years.
Perhaps, Bel-SHAZZAR, the Babylonian
King, grand son of the great Nebuchanezar, and his party intoxicated
with wine from the Holy Temple Vessels is the meaning of “drunk upon My
Holy Mountain, which is Zion), is similar to what Muslim Arabs and
Christian Europeans have done in attempting to rob Jacobs children of
their Birth Right. They have abused Zion, the Place where The LORD
GOD ALMIGHTY Actually sits and rules from.
17. But upon the mount of Zion shall be deliverance, and there
shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall posses their
possessions.
While in that day, the
nations-ethnicities-races who have oppressed Jacob-Israel through his
long period(s) of calamity (s) wondering-dwelling in the wilderness(s)
of death and mocked the Holiness of his GOD, Zion will be liberated
finally and forever from them. Jesus Christ calls “that day” the
“fullness of the nations.”
Entering “the gate” of GOD’s people,
“looked on their calamity”, “laid hands on their substance” the
substance, which Esau and the nations sought to take, shall remain in
their possession.
18.
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a
flame, and house of Esau for stubble, and they
shall kindle in them; and there shall not be any remaining in the house
of Esau; for the LORD has spoken it.
Perhaps, when the house of Esau
is burned to the ground, his bewildered and homeless children will flee
to the House of Jacob-Israel
The nation of Israel in Eretz Israel
of twelve million (12,000,000) Jewish residents, is surrounded by over
fifty million (50,000,000) Arabs, or children of the House of Esau!
Yet, the children of the House of
Israel is able to not only hold them off, but indeed defeat the latter
in military battle as demonstrated in the past, and is politically,
economically, and socially advanced over the House of Esau.
It is a horrible taboo or
catastrophe for Muslims to live under the jurisdiction of Jews, because
the Koran has damned and accused them of being cursed by GOD, or that
which they call their deity.
However, contrary to their beliefs,
the prophet Zechariah speaks of “the day” in which the House of Jacob is
seen as a fire and the House of Esau as stubble to be burned…as
indicated in verse 18.
“The governors of Judah shall say in
their heart, “The inhabitants of Jerusalem shall be my strength in the
LORD of Hosts their GOD.” In that day will I make the governors of
Judah like an hearth of fire among the wood, and like a torch of fire in
a sheaf; and they shall devour all the people round about, on the right
hand and on the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own
place, even in Jerusalem.” (Zechariah 12:5-6)
19.
And they of the south shall posses the mount of Esau; and
they of the plain of the Philistines: and they shall
possess the fields of Ephraim, and the fields of Samaria: and Benjamin
shall posses Gilead.
Without controversy, all of Eretz
Israel shall be placed into the possession of the House of Jacob.
As the House of Esau is burned to
the ground, the inhabitants thereof will be homeless in every sense of
the word “homeless and as Jews, they will “wonder” about without a home
or direction – essentially and especially spiritually lost without
religion, because Islam and those who perpetrated it upon Esau’s
children and the world is deceased.
Finally, the “bully” religion of
violence and death is dead and Muslims the world over will finally be
free at long last from the terrorist oppressions of Islam.
The greatest wound and loss to the
House of Esau is that of the Islamic religion.
Due to masses of Muslims finally
admitting to that which was “hidden” is in their hearts (that for 1400
years, they had been hood-winked, wool pulled over their eyes,
bamboozled by the so-called scholars – wise men) Islam is now defunct in
the House of Esau – Edom.
How are the things of Esau searched out! How are his hidden things
sought up!
20. And the
captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall posses that of
the Canaanites, even to Zarepath; and
the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the
cities of the south.
This is what the Arab-Muslims fear
greatly about Israel. Muslim scholars can read Obadiah and all of
the Holy Hebrew Scriptures as Rabbinical, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist,
scholars can, and know that the Torah proclaims that the children of
Israel-Jacob, son Isaac, son of Abraham, the Jews will indeed inherit
the Promise after all. The Arab conflict with Israel will be at
long last over. Peace shall reign forever for all humankind as
indicated by Isaiah 2:1-3 and Micah 5:2-
21. And saviors shall come up on mount Zion to judge the
mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD’s.
Perhaps,
these “saviors” are individuals, groups, entities, et al are drawn by GOD, The SAVIOR of all
humankind as well as Jews, “up onto” Mount Zion for the purpose of
delivering – judging – championing the cause of Israel, while chiding
the House of Esau.
Also, these individuals could be
Arab, Palestinian and/or other Muslims throughout the world who rise up
in intifada – not against Israel, but rather the “wise men” (scholars)
and the “mighty men” (terrorists and rulers – kings, presidents for
life, dictators, etc.) all Islamic-fascist, who have for 1400 years
suppressed the peoples of the world in the name of a religious politic.
According to certain Holy Hebrew
Scriptures, as the House of Esau is “burning down”, the homeless Muslims
– Arabs receive the change of heart concerning Israel and Jews, while
simultaneously, the keepers (leaders) of the House of Jacob too will
begin to experience similar internal shifts from the Hand of ADONAI –
HESHEM.
Consequently, Muslims are invited by
Jews to be co-inheritors of the Promise and the Common Wealth of the
House Hold of Israel.
In actuality, for all the talk about
being Arabs, et al, the children of Esau are actually Hebrews as is
their brother Jacob. Therefore, is it only righteous that when the
appointed time comes, GOD will place it in the hearts of the Rabbis in
Jerusalem and other part of the earth to open the door of the House of
Jacob, that is, the Common Wealth of Israel, to the homeless children of
Esau.
Also, even Arab children of Ishmael
will also be compelled and drawn to the House of Israel for the
salvation that is there of the Jews.
This is that profound healing
between Jacob and Esau, and even Ishmael and Isaac in which they
together will bury “the Isaac” of the dispute – and blind conflict,
finally living in peace and prosperity as all Children of Abraham under
the LORD GOD ALMIHTY HIMSELF ruling HIS Kingdom out of ZION as The KING
of KINGS and LORD of LORDS.
The Addendum
Ezekiel 25 -
12. Thus saith
the LORD GOD; Because that Edom hath dealt against the House of Judah by
taking vengeance, and hath
greatly
offended, and revenged himself upon them.
13.
“Thus
saith the LORD GOD; I will also stretch out my hand upon Edom, and will
cut off man and beast from it; and I will make it desolate from Te’ man;
and they of Dedans shall fall by the sword.
14.
And I
will lay my vengeance upon Edom by the hand of
my people
Israel:
and they shall do in Edom according to mine anger and according to my
fury; and they shall know my vengeance, saith the LORD GOD.
15.
Thus
saith the LORD GOD; Because the Philistines have dealt by revenge,
and have taken vengeance with despiteful heart, to destroy it
for old hatred;
16.
Therefore, thus
saith the LORD GOD; Behold, I will stretch out my hand upon the
Philistines, and I will cut off the Cherethims, and destroy the
remnant of the sea coast. (Gaza?)
17.
And I
will execute great vengeance upon them with furious rebukes; and they
shall know that I Am The LORD, when I shall lay vengeance upon them.”
Let there be peace on
earth and Good Will toward humanity Shalom in Jerusalem!
GOD Prospers those who
pray for the peace of Jerusalem
