Israel is Edom - Deception



ISRAEL IS EDOM
The Church and the World Have Been Deceived

For those of you with short attention spans and others with poor “reading with comprehension” skills I will just come out and say it – All Jews are Edomites.  Not all Jews are necessarily Edomites, but all Edomites or partial Edomites call themselves Jews.  If you need proof or don’t believe me, then continue reading.

Khazars

The concept of Israeli Jews being Khazars is said to be a true statement.  The historical issue claiming the Khazarians converted to Judaism is also true, but the majority immigrated to Russia and the East European nations.  Recall that Arthur Koestler, the author of the book, The Thirteenth Tribe, was/is a Jew.  Some Jewish historians, scientists, and professors claim that Jews are of a Khazarian background, and some possibly are, particularly the older ones from Russia and East Europe.  It has been said that Ashkenazi Jews are mostly of Khazar origin.

In the Birthright series it was written that Edom was integrated into the Judean Jewish culture during the Hasmonean uprising prior to the birth of Christ.  If you failed to read this series you will be somewhat at a disadvantage although some pertinent information will be covered.  You may read the complete series at this link:  http://freedomfromdelusion.blogspot.com/p/the-birthright.html  The Edomites have always wanted the land of Canaan and through money and political shenanigans they finally achieved their goal in 1948.  Yes, the nation of Israel has been through many wars and each time they gained more territory.  It may be the surrounding Arabs and Muslims know the real truth much better than the so-called Church countries.  The Jews are against everyone, particularly Christians and the 10 tribes of the real Israel.  They are not interested in healing the breach or befriending real Jews but their goal is to either destroy or enslave everyone except for China who will be their industrial sector. 

Several ethnic groups have been falsely identified as Edomites, such as Turkey, China, the Palestinians, and some other Arab groups.  Historians and Academics have apparently read the truth but either dismiss it or ignore it.

Esau
Esau sold his birthright for a bowl of soup and was swindled out of his scepter (kingship) blessing by his fraternal twin Jacob by posing as Esau.  When Esau discovered that his kingship blessing had been tricked from Isaac by Jacob he cried in regret and asked Isaac for a blessing as well.  Through the power and mind of God, Isaac gave Esau a prophetic blessing that Israel and Judah endured until their destruction and captivity from Assyria and Babylon and that we (the world – particularly the 10 tribes of Israel) are enduring today.  The Edomites attempted to move in to Canaan but the northern area was inhabited by foreigners brought in by Assyria called the Samaritans in Jesus’ day and southern Judah was occupied by Babylonian troops.

Here is the prophetic blessing that Isaac gave Esau:  Genesis 27:39-40 NET  So his father Isaac said to him, "Indeed, your home will be away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the sky above.  (40)  You will live by your sword but you will serve your brother. When you grow restless, you will tear off his yoke from your neck." 

The final phrase, “you will tear off his yoke from your neck” is essentially the same rendering in all my translations.  That prophecy is being fulfilled today.

To be fair (or I should say – to be Biblically legal), Jacob swindled Esau out of the birthright blessing and tricked him and Isaac out of the dominion blessing.  In the mind of God and the laws of God these sins must be punished and recompense must be made to the victim.  But someone will say, ‘Well wait a minute, we didn’t bamboozle Esau out of anything.  Why should we be punished with banking, pornography, corrupt governments, and wars and a one-world-government’?  We didn’t eat from the forbidden tree and we are born to age and die just like Adam and Eve as well.

The unlawful acts of Jacob would require punishment by the laws and standards of God.  Although God informed Rebekah the older son (Esau) would serve the younger son (Jacob) she took matters into her own hands and incited Jacob to perform the acts of deceit and trickery.

Genesis 25:23 NET  and the LORD said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two peoples will be separated from within you. One people will be stronger than the other, and the older will serve the younger."

When the fraud was discovered by Isaac, he knew that eventually God would take away the promises obtained by Jacob and give them to Esau.  We will discover the blessing shift did not fully take place until 1948 when the Edomite Judeans gained control of a portion of Canaan by political manipulations.  The majority of the so-called Jews and leadership of the current nation of Israel are not Judahites but are full or partial mixtures of Edomites.  As the Pharisees stated, they are of the seed of Abraham but are not fully, if at all, the seed of Jacob and Judah.  The blessing will be reversed again at the second coming of Jesus Christ.

From - http://www.israel-a-history-of.com/the-edomites.html  Most or maybe even all of the Jews who denied Christ were Edomite imposters and most of those who accepted Him were true Judean Jews of the line of the tribe of Judah. Those who did believe Him became known as Christians and not Jews any longer and these Edomite Jews who were particularly strong and numerous in the synagogues became the Talmudic Rabbi Jews of the Middle Ages and the Jews who also converted a half Mongoloid people (the Khazars) to Judaism - a distorted form of the belief in the God of Abraham (Jehovah or Yahweh) mixed with all sorts of anti-Christ hatred and ridiculous Dark ages customs and beliefs.
Along with the Babylonian Kabbalah being taught by their Rabbi's they form a formidable anti-Christian group today and secretly control the Christian seminaries (the "False profit" of prophesy) promoting the pro-Israeli state to the tune of millions of US dollars in voluntary and in-voluntary (tax) donations towards their cause.

The blessing of Isaac to Esau contains the phrase “become restless” in some translations which is the Hebrew word “rood”.  The KJV actually has the correct translation of “dominion”.

Genesis 27:40 KJV  And by thy sword shalt thou live, and shalt serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass when thou shalt have the dominion (rood), that thou shalt break his yoke from off thy neck.

The Edomites attempted to regain the dominion throughout history and almost succeeded in the first century.  This may be a primary reason the Idumean leadership did not want a Judahite Messiah who would inherit the dominion blessing and leave the Edomites without a hope of ever gaining it.  Instead they incited the crowd and the Romans to crucify Jesus.  Their current plans were completely disrupted when the Romans destroyed Jerusalem and killed many Idumeans with the remainder leaving the area towards Europe and Egypt.  They would now be forced to instigate their Edomite treachery on the inhabitants of Europe and the USA with the hidden concept of regaining the land by any means that became available.

The blessing prophecy predicts a time would come when Esau would receive the dominion mandate by force and be free to trample upon whomsoever he pleased. This is consistent with the character of Esau and his descendants.

PROOF THE JEWS ARE EDOMITES 
Edom ceased to be a nation in 126 B.C. when John Hyrcanus of Judah (Maccabees) finished his conquest and forcibly converted the remaining Edomites to Judaism.

Josephus, Antiquities of the Jews, XIII, ix, 1:  Hyrcanus took also Dora and Marissa, cities of Idumea, and subdued all the Idumeans; and permitted them to stay in that country, if they would be circumcised, and make use of the laws of the Jews; and they were so desirous of living in the country of their forefathers, that they submitted to the use of circumcision and the rest of the Jews’ ways of living; at which time therefore, this befell them, that they were hereafter no other than Jews.

The Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition:  Judas Maccabeus conquered their territory for a time (B.C. 163; Ant. Xii, 8 par. 1, 2). They were again subdued by John Hyrcanus (c. 125 B.C.) by whom they were forced to observe Jewish rites and laws (ib. 9, par. 1; xiv. 4, par. 4). They were then incorporated with the Jewish nation, and their country was called by the Greeks and Romans ‘Idumea’ (Mark iii. 8; Ptolemy, Geography v. 16). With Antipater began the Idumean dynasty that ruled over Judea till its conquest by the Romans. Immediately before the siege of Jerusalem 20,000 Idumeans, under the leadership of John, Simeon, Phinehas, and Jacob, appeared before Jerusalem to fight in behalf of the zealots who were besieged in the Temple (Josephus, B.J. iv. 4, par. 5).  From this time the Idumeans ceased to be a separate people.

Tom Martincic, Eliyah.com  "Edomites" are the descendants of Esau. Esau was called Edom after he sold his birth-right. He later became known as the progenitor of the Edomites. {SEE OBADIAH}
The Edomites were in Israel when the JEWS were in Israel. King Herod which was not a JEW was an Edomite. They dwelled amongst the JEWS, ate with the JEWS adopted their practices, culture etc. Later when Titus besieged Jerusalem and killed the Israelites and sold the younger ones to the Ethiopians, Arabs, and Egyptians. The Edomites who resided in Israel, later proclaimed themselves to be the house of ISRAEL, and are now recognized as Israel today by the majority of the world.

The New Unger’s Bible Dictionary, p. 333.  The significance of the Edomite population merging with the Jews is often overlooked. But it is not really any secret. Many modern Biblical scholars admit that the historic event did, indeed, occur. For example: “But during the warlike rule of the Maccabees (Hasmonean dynasty of the Jews) they were again completely subdued and even forced to conform to Jewish laws and rites and submit to the government of Jewish perfect. The Edomites were then incorporated into the Jewish nation, and the whole providence was often termed by Greek and Roman writers ‘Idumea’...From this time, the Edomites as a separate people disappear from the pages of history.”

Willie Martin Studies.  http://israelect.com/reference/WillieMartin/Modern_Jews.htm  This proved to be a catastrophic decision for the people of Judah, and a choice which Hyrcanus should have known as forbidden in Old Testament law (Deuteronomy 7:1-5; Leviticus 20:24, Joshua 23:12-13; Ezra 9:1-4; Nehemiah 13:23-30). But not surprisingly, most chose conversion.

The marginal note in Josephus’ works add this commentary, quoting Ammonius, a writer from 129 A.D.; “...the Idumeans were not Jews from the beginning...but being afterward subdued to buy the Jews.” After editorial comment regarding Josephus’ work adds emphasis: “This account of the Idumeans admitting circumcision, and the entire Jewish law, from this time, or the days of Hyrcanus, is confirmed by their entire history afterward.”

World Book Encyclopedia, 1967, Vol. 6, p. 55:  There is Edom [Esau is called Edom in Genesis 36:8]. And Edom is in 'Modern Jewry' Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 edition, Vol. 5, p. 41. Even the encyclopedia on your shelf may inform you of these events, if one is sharp enough to understand the significance: “The Hasmonean dynasty conquered the Idumeans in the 100's B.C., and converted them to Judaism”.

The Last Ages & the Resurrections



THE LAST AGES AND THE RESURRECTIONS

In the Old Testament prophetic books there are many instances of prophecies concerning the wrath of God and the Millennium.  A brief outline of these events is the following:

The wrath of God:
·         The earth is devastated
·         Many people are killed along with most animals and vegetation
·         There will be volcanoes, meteorites, earthquakes, a large rock hitting     the earth, and fire
·         The rapture will occur; the first resurrection; the overcomers; the first fruits or the barley harvest that is baked in oil
·         The battle of Armageddon

The Millennial Age:
·         There will be survivors both good and bad – people will have long lives but they will continue to experience death
·         Jesus will rule with an iron rod, which will most likely be necessary
·         The 1st resurrection people will have glorified bodies and will serve as rulers, judges, and teachers as emissaries of  Christ
·         The principle occupation will be agriculture as it was with Adam and Eve
·         Animals will cease to be vicious or meat eaters as in the garden of Eden

The Post-Millennial Age:
·         The City of God (the New Jerusalem) will be on the earth as the habitat of Kingdom subjects
·         The 2nd resurrection and the White Throne Judgment will occur – This is the separation of the sheep and the goats; the wheat and the tares; the wheat offering that is baked in leaven
·         The sheep and the wheat will be given few stripes (symbolic representation)
·         The goats and the tares will be judged by the laws of the lake of fire (cleansed and purified)

It requires a careful study of the above outline for a Bible reader to comprehend what part of the “end of the age” event is being described by a particular prophecy. 

It is inferred there is an age following the Millennial age.  The length of the post-Millennial age is not known.  Although the City of God (the New Jerusalem) will be the dwelling place of the righteous saints, it could be and will be assumed the earth continues its existence as a post-Edenic habitat as described in Isaiah 65:17-25. 

The Resurrections
To the best of my knowledge, there are only two (permanent) resurrections of human beings referred to in the Bible.  This does not include the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who is a model of the resurrection of the saints.  It also does not include those raised from the dead at the crucifixion of Jesus, who most likely died again as did Lazarus.

Some exegetes teach there will be three resurrections but offer no scripture references and thus, give no validity.  This teaching can be found on the internet, but again, no evidence is given.

The First Resurrection
The first resurrection occurs at the second coming of Jesus (sorry pre-tribulation rapture people) as is called the rapture (Latin), the called-up, and the gathering.  This will include both dead and living, righteous, Kingdom of Heaven servants.  As we will note later, this will not include every person calling themselves a Christian or a child of God.  Some Bible scholars call this group “the first fruits” and/or the overcomers.  There will be survivors on the earth after the wrath of God.  These first fruit raptured saints will rule, judge, and teach the survivors during the Millennial age under the Kingship of Jesus Christ, who will rule with a rod of iron.

Revelation 20:4 KJV  And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

The Second Resurrection
The second resurrection at the end of the Millennial age at or before the great White Throne Judgment.  This will include both the semi-righteous and various levels of unrighteous.  This resurrection was taught in the parables of the sheep and goats and the wheat and tares.  No one will be destroyed but all will be disciplined by the law of God.  Some with few stripes (probably symbolic) and others with the fiery laws of God as symbolized by the lake of fire of Revelation and the stream of fire of Daniel.

Revelation 20:15 KJV  And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.

Daniel 7:9 KJV  I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Both Jesus and Paul speak of the simultaneous resurrection of two different classes of people (believers and non-believers)

John 5:28-29 KJV  Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,  (29)  And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.

The KJV word “damnation” (from the Greek krisis) has an extremely negative connotation.  To my mind, it conjures the idea of condemned, a lost cause, and imminent destruction.  However, the translation should be “judgment” or judgement by the law of God.

Thayer Definition:  krisis
1) a separating, sundering, separation  1a) a trial, contest  2) selection  3) judgment
3a) opinion or decision given concerning anything especially concerning justice and injustice, right or wrong
3b) sentence of condemnation, damnatory judgment, condemnation and punishment

Paul refers to the identical two classes of people:  just and unjust.

Acts 24:14-15 KJV  But this I confess unto thee, that after the way which they call heresy, so worship I the God of my fathers, believing all things which are written in the law and in the prophets:  (15)  And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.

There are several parables dealing with the two resurrections and their various judgments and punishments, but for now let’s use the one found in Luke 12:42-49.

Luke 12:42-49 NET  The Lord replied, "Who then is the faithful and wise manager, whom the master puts in charge of his household servants, to give them their allowance of food at the proper time?  (43)  Blessed is that slave whom his master finds at work when he returns.  (44)  I tell you the truth, the master will put him in charge of all his possessions. 

The faithful and wise servant will be placed in a position of authority at the first resurrection.  This is an example of the overcomers.

(45)  But if that slave should say to himself, 'My master is delayed in returning,' and he begins to beat the other slaves, both men and women, and to eat, drink, and get drunk,  (46)  then the master of that slave will come on a day when he does not expect him and at an hour he does not foresee, and will cut him in two, and assign him a place with the unfaithful.  (47)  That servant who knew his master's will but did not get ready or do what his master asked will receive a severe beating. 

The second servant has the attitude “the return of Jesus will not happen in my lifetime so let the good times roll”.  He is still referred to as a slave or servant.  The cutting in two could literally mean cut in half as was supposed to have been done to Isaiah but it can also be defined as severely beaten.  This servant is to be assigned with the unfaithful so it will be assumed he is not cut into two pieces but flogged with many stripes and not necessarily judged by the lake of fire as explained in verse 47.

Thayer Definition:  dichotomeō
1) to cut into two parts of the cruel method of punishment used by the Hebrews and others of cutting one in two
2) cut up by scourging, scourge severely

 (48)  But the one who did not know his master's will and did things worthy of punishment will receive a light beating. From everyone who has been given much, much will be required, and from the one who has been entrusted with much, even more will be asked. 

What about the people who never heard of Jesus or was never taught Biblical truths?  They will be punished in a light manner (according to their response at the judgment – my opinion).

(49)  "I have come to bring fire on the earth — and how I wish it were already kindled!

Jesus speaks of the fire of God; the fire of judgement; and the lake of fire.

There are several scripture references like Luke 12:46 which appears to teach that believers (servants) who do not watch for His coming will not inherit “eternal life”, but that is not true.  In reality, it merely says that such people will not inherit the first resurrection.

In Luke 1:33 it is written that “OF His kingdom there shall be NO END”.  If Luke had used the term aionian (an age of time – not forever) here, he would have been incorrect. The things OF the kingdom shall truly be everlasting without an end, not age-lasting. But the Kingdom reign of Jesus lasts only until all enemies are subdued, including death itself (1 Corinthians 15:25-28). At that point the Kingdom is turned over to the Father, and the perfected universe enters a timeless realm of which we know little.

In the original Hebrew and Greek languages, the words, olam and aionian refer to a limited period of time or an age. This is why most of the early Christian Church scholars understood the lake of fire to be only age-lasting. Augustine was the first to actually advance an argument against this, and he did so on a very flimsy basis, because he did not understand the Doctrine of the Ages and he did not read Greek only Roman.
