Esau/Edom, and
the Trail of the Serpent
You've heard it said that obedience to God's Word is better
than sacrifice. His Word does not return to Him void but
accomplishes what He intended. By obedience we partake of His
Spirit and Life. Disobedience to God's Word in sin or separation
and death. Our own or the death of an innocent substitute.
Sacrifice.
When God sent Moses to conquer Canaan Land He inspired him to
call obedience in the Words of our first Scripture. Deuteronomy
7:1-4, "When the LORD brings you into the Promised Land,
he'll cast out the following seven nations; all greater and
mightier than you are: the Hittites, and the Girgashites, and the
Amorites, the Canaanites, and the Perizzites, and the Hivites,
and the Jebusites. And when the LORD God delivers them to you;
you shall smite and utterly destroy them; you shall make no
covenant nor show mercy to them: Neither shall you intermarry
with them nor let your sons and daughter marry their sons and
daughters for they will turn away your sons from following me, to
serve other gods. Then the anger of the LORD be kindled against
you, to destroy you suddenly".
The natural man might think, "How unfair and
unreasonable of God to order the destruction of these innocent
people". They haven't a chance. What wrong have they done.
They forget that God is a God of His Word, and not only is He
fair or "just", but He's holy and He's sovereign. By
their existence, these people are an affront to God's holiness
and are not His creation, but the hybrid offspring of the
unrighteous union between Eve and the Serpent.
In Deuteronomy 28:1. Moses said, "If you fully obey the
voice of the LORD your God, to observe and to do all His
commandments which I command you this day, that the LORD your God
will raise you high above all the nations of the earth". But
we know from history and the Bible that Israel disobeyed this
command of the Lord. God put enmity between these people who have
no place on the Book of Life, and the sons of Adam (Genesis
3:15). Here's what happened because Israel spared these serpent
seed people who and are the enemies of God and the whole human
race (Malachi 1:4):-
Deuteronomy 28:43-44, "The stranger that is within you
(temporary inhabitant or "ger" who lacks inherited
rights) shall get up above you very high; and you shall come down
very low. He shall lend to you, and you shall not lend to him: he
shall be the head, and you shalt be the tail".
Who was this "stranger within Israel"? It was the
descendants of his reprobate brother, Esau, who married serpent
seed women. We're not just studying ancient history. This is the
state of the world right now. Who has "inherited
rights" to the Land of Israel? Only the descendants of
Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. Right! But who heads the restored State
of Israel? "Strangers"! Edomites.
Today there's a kind of apartheid in Israel whereby the
Ashkenazim self-styled Jews have an advantage over genuine
Hebrews. They have preeminence in housing, in employment and in
education. If I'm not mistaken, it was Ashkenazim historian
Arthur Koestler who was persecuted even to the extent of a police
officer into his mouth because he had married an blood Israelite
girl.
Because the Israelites did not destroy God's enemies, and
remain a separated people, since the return from Babylonian
Captivity, they have been the tail, and Edom has been the head in
Israel. Likewise the once Western nations of the world did not
remain separated to God and His Word, but we allowed these people
into our lands, into the business and political life of their
communities, even into our churches and Bible schools.
It wasn't always this way. These people were at some time
expelled from Britain and all the kingdoms of Europe because of
their evil. There was a time when their identity was known and
Christians did not associate with them. Over time these people
have assumed the identity of English, Polish, Dutch, Germans,
Russians, Hungarians, Americans and Australians, because we
haven't separated nominal Christians from our midst. We've failed
to honor the admonition of Acts 17:11 and prove everything the
preacher says. Therefore we've been dumbed-down by false
preachers who teach us that "Jews are Israelites".
The church, institutions of learning, courts, and the
bureaucracy, have all been infiltrated and influenced by these
people who have introduced a new paradigm, as they did in Israel,
where they wrote the Talmud which instituted rules and rituals
abhorrent to the Torah. It condones pederasty, homosexuality,
adultery, blasphemy, murder, rape, lying, deceit and stealing on
non-Jews and Gentiles.
Where do you think the inspiration comes for filthy music,
songs, entertainment and movies, that are piped into almost every
home? Where does the inspiration come from for today's crime
wave? The crimes are those condoned by the Talmud. It comes from
one filthy, Satanic book of hatred called the Talmud that's
opposed to the Law and Prophets, and an affront to the most basic
of human decencies. It should have been banned and burned long
ago. Once, when England and Europe held to the Christian
principles they espouse, it was.
Today all but a tiny minority of Israelites have forsaken the
Law and the prophets, to obey the Talmud. And all but a tiny
minority who call upon the Name of our Lord Jesus Christ have
forsaken the Bible to follow man-made creeds, Communistic
reasoning against the Word in favor of majority choice, and the
situational ethics of Humanism.
As God allowed theologians to blind the eyes of the Hebrews
at the end of the dispensation of Moses' Law, He permitted their
children to blind the Gentiles by theological reasoning against
the Word. The prophet Paul foretold, "God has concluded both
Israel and the Gentiles in unbelief" (Romans 11:32).
These things explain the continual conflict and deep-seated
hatred of the self-styled Jew against genuine Israelites, and
Christians or Spiritual Israelites. Our once Christian society
was built upon principles of Hebrew Law, justice and government,
with individual rights of property, and free enterprise (not
Capitalism), local control of government and Biblical laws and
judgment the Jew never adopted. Our rights and Common Law
inherited from Britain are by law meant to be interpreted
according to the Bible. But the self- styled Jews have
historically promoted the opposite principles of democracy,
socialism and communism - all contrary to the sound Biblical
principles of liberty and self-government.
Esau's efforts to steal back Jacob's birthright are
manifested in their attempts, over 3,000 years, to exterminate
Israel. They are following in the footsteps of their father Cain,
who thought that by killing his step-brother Abel, he could usurp
the birthright he never owned. But the Edomites are mamzers, and
one born of incest or adultery, particularly of Cain's race, can
never enter into the congregation of the Lord which is the
election (Deuteronomy 23:2). (The British Israel cult, a part of
the Jewish Cabala invented by John Dee, astrologer to Elizabeth
I, is niavely stealing Isarel's birthright).
They'll tell you it's not etiquette to call them Israelites!
They like to be called Jews. They know they're Edomites,
Jacob/Israel's enemy. In all their authoritative works they
identify themselves as Esau, or Edom. Esau's prophet father
foretold how he would have to make his own way in the world,
seeing as he'd given THUS SAITH THE LORD, his irrevocable
blessing, to Jacob. How Esau would carve out his future by
violence, and serve Jacob. But that when he became restive, he
would throw off Jacob's yoke.
And Esau hated Jacob because of the lost blessing: and said
in his heart, "The days of mourning for my father are at
hand; then after his death I will slay my brother Jacob"
(Genesis 27:39-41).
The first enemies to obstruct the flight of Jacob's
descendants from Egypt were the Amalekites (Exodus 17:8). Then
the Edomites refused permission for the children of Israel to
pass through their land (Numbers 20:17-20). The Edomite, Doeg,
almost succeeded in killing David (I Samuel 21-22). David's
armies laid Edom waste and slew all the men able to bear arms (II
Samuel 8:14; I Kings 11:16). But Edom revolted in the days of
Jehoram's wicked reign in Judah, made themselves a king.
Bloody battles were fought between the two nations throughout
the succeeding centuries. Edom has not returned under Jacob's
yoke to this day because when John Hyrcanus conquered the whole
of Edom in 109BC, he gave them the choice between death and
forced conversion to Judaism. Thenceforth they became part of the
Jewish people in the sight of man, and one hundred years before
Christ, Judah was inhabited by Edomites.
The Edomites soon became the head and the Hebrews became the
tail. The Pharisees gained the ascendancy over the Sadducees.
There were so many Edomites in the population at the time of
Christ, that the land was called Idumea (Mark 3:8).
King Herod who was an Edomite, and head over Judea at the
birth of Jesus, had all the male infants of Bethlehem slain in an
effort to destroy Israel's Messiah and future King. Israel's high
priesthood was corrupt and the Sanhedrin ruled by Pharisaism
which we know as Talmudic Judaism today. Both Edomites Israelites
were followers of the Talmud in the days of Jesus.
Matthew 23:27-36, "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees,
hypocrites! for you are like whited sepulchres, which appear
beautiful without but are within full of dead men's bones, and of
all uncleanness. Likewise you appear righteous outwardly, but
within you're full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because you
build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of
the righteous, And say, "If we'd lived in the days of our
fathers, we would not have partaken with them in the blood of the
prophets".
Wherefore you witness against yourselves that you are the
children of them which killed the prophets. And you are following
in their footsteps, filling up the measure of their evil. You
serpents, you offspring of vipers, how can you escape the
damnation of hell?
I will send you prophets, and wise men, and inspired writers:
some of whom you'll kill and crucify; and some of them you'll
scourge in your synagogues, and persecute from city to city: so
that you may become guilty of all the righteous blood shed upon
the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of
Zacharias son of Barachias, whom you slew between the temple and
the altar.
(According to the order of the Hebrew Old Testament, II
Chronicles is the last book in the Volume. So Abel was the first
martyr and Zechariah, would have been the last (II Chronicles
24:21).
Who killed Abel? Jesus said it was the forefathers of these
Pharisees to whom he was speaking. Abel was slain by the serpent
seed, Cain. It was by no coincidence that Jesus called these men
a race of serpents. They were the descendants of Cain, whose
father the Serpent, seduced Eve before Adam came to her).
Verily I say to you, All these things shall come upon this
race or genealogy".
Who killed Abel? Who is killing Adam's children today, trying
to gain a birthright they never had?
When Cain offered his sacrifice of "Good works", he
laid beautiful pumpkins, cauliflower, string beans, apples,
oranges and potatoes on the altar and God rejected his
intellectual self-righteousness. But He accepted Abel's bloody
lamb because it was offered by faith which is a clear
understanding of the mind of God. By faith Abel knew it was
animal blood that caused the Fall, not V8 Juice! And innocent
blood must be shed to atone. The life is in the blood so when his
mother Eve received the life of the serpent, she stepped over
God's Word and sold the whole world to death. That blood became
Cain who had the same fleshly intellectual attributes as his
father and is not in the genealogy of the human race. He's not in
the genealogy of God either.
God told Cain to ask his younger prophet brother, whose
revelation was vindicated before his eyes when his sacrifice was
received, to explain the revelation. If Cain would offer Abel's
revelation, God would receive Cain's sacrifice.
When Abel reluctantly explained the revelation, Cain saw that
he was not Adam's son, and that could never merit the birthright.
And because he was not Adam's kinsman, he would never have a
Redeemer. It mattered not how many lambs Cain offered, he would
always be a serpent, and not on the Book of Life. Therefore Cain
could never obey the revealed Word of God but would rely on his
own intellect.
Cain saw that were he to follow the original plan of his
vicarious father, Lucifer, who inspired the serpent to seduce
Eve, polluting the human race with a hybrid so he could breed
Adam's race off the Book of Life and off the face of the earth,
thereby becoming heir to this world. So Cain killed the heir,
assumed the birthright and began breeding . . . and
interbreeding.
Can't you see that this is what Esau/Edom has done and is
doing to assume the birthright of Jacob/Israel in the natural?
And can you see that this is what the Roman Catholic church is
doing to the so called Protestants in the Spiritual? When their
sons and daughters marry your children, the offspring have to be
raised up in the Catholic church. The Bible foretold these
intellectual tricks of the enemy (Matthew 24:37-41 Daniel
2:40-45).
So what was Jesus saying to this bunch of Pharisees in
Matthew 23? He was telling them to their face they were Jews, NOT
Israelites. They were not descended from Abraham, Isaac AND
Jacob, but were a race of serpent seed whose fathers killed Abel.
Who killed Abel?
The discourse between Jesus and the Pharisees in John chapter
8 is interesting. John 8:31-48, "Jesus to those Jews which
believed on Him, 'If you continue in My Word, you are My
disciples indeed; And you shall understand the hidden mysteries
and the revelation shall free you from the dominion of unbelief
(sin)' (Genesis 4:7). They answered, 'We're Abraham's seed. He
was the father of faith. We were never in Spiritual bondage to
any man-made religion: how can you say, "You shall be set at
liberty from the bondage of sin"?'
Jesus answered them, 'Truly, whosoever wanders from the true
path of righteousness is the servant of sin. And the servant
abides not in the house for ever: but the Son abides ever'."
(Let's pause here, because this is interesting. We know by
the law of reproduction that all Adam's children are sons of God
(Genesis 1:11). But if a son did not prove himself worthy, he
would not be recognized and placed by his father as a his heir,
and could lose his natural birthright. We see this in the Church
where not all of the congregation are placed sons of Adam, or
born-again Sons of God, but some are foolish virgin, whilst
others will be lost.
Esau was Jacob's son, but he married forbidden women and
despised the birthright, selling it to Jacob, who obtained the
blessing as well. When he begged his prophet father for a
secondary blessing, the Lord said, "you shall serve your
brother".
Esau was the heir but became a servant of sin. And because he
took serpent seed women to wife, his heirs no longer abide in the
House and God's Covenant is to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel.
This happened to natural Israel when they rejected their
Messiah, Lord Jesus Christ. Paul wrote in Romans 9:2-6, "My
heart is heavy and in continual sorrow. For I could wish myself
accursed from Christ if it would save my brethren, my kinsmen
according to the flesh: Who are Israelites; to whom pertains the
adoption (recognition or placing), and the glory, and the
covenants, and the giving of the Law, and the service of God, and
the promises; Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning
the flesh Christ came, who now rules over all things, God blessed
for ever. Amen.
But it's not as though the Word of God has taken none effect.
For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel".
Jesus is here confronting such a group in these Pharisees who
like Esau, were born into the household of faithful Abraham but
without the faith of Abraham won't abide in the House of Israel
forever).
John 8:36, "If the Son therefore shall make you deliver
you from the dominance of sin (unbelief), you shall be completely
liberated forever. I know that you are Abraham's seed; but you
seek to kill Me, because My Word has no place in you. I speak
that which I have discerned from with My Father: and you do what
you have understood from your father.
They answered and said, "Abraham is our father".
Jesus replied, "If you were Abraham's children, you'd do
the works of Abraham. But instead you're trying to kill Me, and
just because I've told you the truth I have heard of God. Abraham
wouldn't have done anything like that". (They sure have the
nature of Cain).
"You do the deeds of your father".
(Jesus doesn't deny they are Abraham's seed. More likely than
not many of them are Abraham's seed through Isaac and Esau, not
Jacob who is Israel. Whilst those who are physically of Israel,
lace the faith of Abraham.
We can confirm this in Genesis 21:13. God calls Ishmael
"Abraham's seed", but he is not called Abraham's child,
for in Genesis 22:2, 12 and 16-18 God calls Abraham's other son
Isaac "thine only son" and says that the Birthright
will pass only through the godly line of Isaac. This proves
Mohammed is not a prophet of God because he disputes the Word of
the previously vindicated prophet, Abraham.
God said in Genesis 22:17-18, "In blessing I will bless
you, and in multiplying (through Isaac) I will multiply your seed
as the stars of the heaven, and as the sand which is upon the sea
shore; and your seed shall possess the gate of his enemies; And
in your seed (that's Christ through Isaac, not Mohammed through
Ishmael) shall all the nations of the earth be blessed; because
you have obeyed My voice".
God had previously prophesied the future of Ishmael's
descendants in Genesis 16:12, "Ishmael will be a wild man;
his hand will be against every man, and every man's hand against
him; and he shall dwell to the East of all his brethren
(Israel)". (As a matter of interest Ishmael and Isaac were
the first persons God named before their births).
Whilst Ishmael and Esau were the "seed of Abraham",
the son of the bondswoman was rejected and God called Isaac
Abraham's "only son". Nowhere are the children of
Ishmael or Esau called "the children of Abraham". When
Esau was yet in the womb, God said, "Esau have I hated (or
detested)" (Malachi 1:3; Romans 9:13).
Jesus was telling these Pharisees that they were rejected of
God. And though they claimed to be of Abraham's natural seed, He
wasn't going to debate genealogies because being without faith,
they were spiritual serpent seed.
Jesus let their claim to be "Abraham's seed"
through to the wicket keeper. Then He told them they had the
nature of Cain who killed his brother when Abel told the same
truth; that a tree is known by its fruits, and that their deeds
identified them with their father Cain, not their father Abraham.
This was the harvest time for the first-fruits of them that
slept. The seeds were maturing, manifesting what had been planted
in the garden of Eden. These Pharisees were familiar with the
true story of the original sin that caused the Fall, and they
knew that among their number is Esau/Edom who are serpent's seed
and not of Adam's race. The Word is becoming too sharp as Jesus
parries and thrusts. So rather than risk division by Bible Truth,
they compromise God's unchanging Word to preserve the unity of
their organization.
And though Adam was a Son of God and we are "Adam's
seed", unless we are born-again by Jesus Christ, we are not
recognized of placed Sons of God and joint heirs with Jesus in
the Kingdom of God (I John 3:1-12).
Reading on, they acknowledge they too believe what Jesus is
saying about the original sin being adultery between Eve and the
serpent. And know He is identifying them as his offspring, which
they deny, and quickly switch the topic to Spiritual serpent's
seed which is denominationalism, or mixing human reasoning with
God's Word).
John 8:41, "Then said they to him, 'We be not born of
fornication; we have one Father, even God'.
(Since the Roman Catholic church caused the faith to be lost
when they killed the saints who held It in their hearts,
denominational ministers must have pondered this strange reply
for centuries. Now why are these guys suddenly discussing
fornication?
Jesus leaves the subject of their physical lineage and
answers the question of their Spiritual ancestry).
Jesus told them, "If God were your Father, you'd love
me: for I came from God and was sent by God. You don't comprehend
My Words because you're prevented from receiving what I'm saying.
You are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your
father you will do. He was a man-slayer from the beginning
(because he tried to kill the whole human race), and abode not in
the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaks a
lie, he speaks of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of
it.
And because I tell you the truth, you believe Me not. Who
among you can convict Me of sin? Then if I speak truth, why don't
you believe Me? He that is of God hears God's Words: you
therefore hear them not, proving you are not of God".
(Now it's really getting hot in the kitchen! Jesus just
turned up the heat, because if God were their father they would
love their Brother, Jesus, and receive His Words. The only
conclusion to draw is that their father is not God, so he has to
be the Devil who was the vicarious father of Cain who slew his
brother. Their desire to kill Jesus display their father's
craving for the forbidden, and their deceitful form of debate
identifies them with Lucifer. Well are their elite called
"Illuminati".)
"Then answered the Jews, and said unto Him, 'Are we not
correct when we declare You are a Samaritan, and have a
demon'?"
These men were Jews, not because they were Israelites or
Hebrews, or because they followed the Law, but because they dwelt
in Judea. Or Idumea as it was known, because most of the
population were Idumeans or Edomites.
These Pharisees, not daring to challenge Jesus with the
Scripture, determined to denigrate His own natural and Spiritual
lineage by calling Jesus a demon-possessed Samaritan. Read the
filthy slander about Jesus in the Talmud.
A Samaritan, strictly speaking, would be an inhabitant of the
city of Samaria but in Jesus' time, the term applied to all
residents of the Northern kingdom.
After the final captivity of Israel in 721BC by Shalmanesar,
the cities of Samaria were wholly depopulated. They remained in
this state until, in the words of II Kings 17:24, "the king
of Assyria brought men from Babylon, Cuthah and Ava (in Assyria),
Hamath, and Sepharvaim (in Syria), and placed them in the cities
of Samaria instead of the children of Israel: and they possessed
Samaria, and dwelt in the cities thereof." These new
Samaritans were Assyrians by birth or subjugation and were
idolaters.
This kindled God's displeasure, and they were annoyed by
beasts of prey which had increased while the land was
uninhabited. The king of Assyria dispatched one of the captive
priests to teach them "how they should fear the Lord".
Henceforth, they feared the Lord but also worshipped their idols.
When Judah returned from their Captivity the Samaritans
desired to help rebuild the temple at Jerusalem. On their being
refused, they became enemies and frustrated the operations of the
Jews through the reign of two Persian kings, until silenced by
Darius Hystaspes in 519BC.
The feud grew more intense each year until 409BC, when
Manasseh, a man of priestly lineage, being expelled from
Jerusalem by Nehemiah for an unlawful marriage, obtained
permission from the Persian king of his day, Darius Nothus, to
build a temple on Mount Gerizim for the Samaritans with whom he'd
found refuge. The animosity of the Samaritans became more intense
than ever, and they did all in their power to annoy the Jews.
They considered their own temple on Mount Gerizim superior to
that at Jerusalem. They sacrificed a Passover, and wherever they
were, they directed their worship toward the mountain, even long
after its temple had fallen.
So the Samaritans in Jesus's day were a people distinct from
the Jews. Though living in their midst, they preserved their
national identity, worshipped from Shechem, their impoverished
settlements toward their sacred hill, still retained their
peculiar religion, and would not coalesce with the Jews
The Jews reciprocated in their contempt for the Samaritans.
Other Jewish renegades from time to time took refuge with the
Samaritans who by degrees claimed Jewish blood. A claim not
admitted by the Jews.
That's just a little historical background which explains
what the Jews were implying in their insult. If the religious
impersonators insulted our Lord to His face before they would
expose the sins of their fellows and separate from those who were
not of God. Won't their children despise His disciples in this
day?
As far as possible live in peace with all men, but be
separated to God and His Word. Don't seek to befriend those whom
God has set at enmity against you.
One Scripture in closing. Revelation 18:24, "In her was
found the blood of prophets, and of saints, and of all who were
slain upon the earth". This is Rome and her once Protestant
harlot daughters who will rule this world until the consummation
(Revelation 17:6). They want you to unite with them against the
Word like the Hebrews united with the Edomites against the Word.
They say we can all be called "Christians", whatever
you believe, like the Edomites and the Hebrews of today are all
called "Jews".
Like Isaiah 4:1 said, "In that day seven women shall
take hold of one Man, saying, 'We will eat our own bread, and
wear our own apparel: only let us be called by your Name, to take
away our reproach'."
Now I ask you, are these comments my personal impressions? Or
are they the unchanging Word of God's holy prophets and apostles
from Genesis to Revelation, even the Talmud, and supported by the
most eminent scholars of Jewry?
