WHO ARE THE EDOMITES TODAY?
Who are the Edomites today? Who are the Edomites in today’s world?
This question is so often asked and debated. This is a result of two main schools of thought that have emerged. One is that Esau (Edom) is the white man and the other is that he is the Arab.
WHY IS IT IMPORTANT THAT WE KNOW WHO ARE THE DESCENDANTS OF THE EDOMITES TODAY?
Now, why is it important that we know who are the modern-day descendants of the Edomites today?
When one gets a deep understanding of the word, one will see that Esau will be the one ruling this earth in the end time.
2 Esdras 6:9
For Esau is the end of the world (this age), and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.
It will also help to confirm who the children of Israel are because of the perpetual hatred that Esau has for Israel (Obadiah 1:10-14). According to scripture, this will play out to the very end until Edom is recompensed at the very hands of his brother whom he hated:
Oba 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them, and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for YAHUAH hath spoken it.
So the first clue is that Esau will be the nation of people who are ruling the world, and they will have an obvious, inexplicable perpetual hatred for one nation of people, who will be in captivity among them (Jer 17:4).
Living among these end-time Edomites would be Israelites which they would have taken into captivity with ships (Deut 28:68). The Edomites are the perpetual enemies of the sons of Jacob. Isn’t it written in the book of Jasher?
Jasher 58:28
But from that day forward the children of Esau hated the sons of Jacob, and the hatred and enmity were very strong between them all the days, unto this day.
THE WORLD IS BLINDED, BUT ESAU IS BARE TO THE ELECT
So just as to the world, there is no clear-cut indication as to where the children of Israel are today; so also to the world, there is also no clear indication as to where the children of Esau (Edomites) are today.
However, is this really so? Is everyone blinded as to who Esau is? Is Esau really hidden from the elect of YAHUAH, his chosen remnant who he shows his word (Psa 147:19-20)?
On the contrary, scripture tells us that Esau is bare and will NOT be able to hide! So how can he be hidden from the elect of YAHUAH, from among the children of Israel?
Jer 49:10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
So if he shall not be able to hide, how can he be hidden from the very elect whom it is not possible to deceive (Mat 24:24)?
WHO ARE THE EDOMITES TODAY? ESAU IS BARE
So, with that in mind, a careful look at the verse above gives us a few clues:
- Esau is bare (plain to see).
- The things he does will be plain to see and will show who and where he is (his secret places are uncovered).
- He shall not be able to hide (so there is actually no mystery).
- His seed is spoiled (mingled with other nations),
- He is not: means he seems to have vanished, not seen for how he originally looked or where he originally dwelled.
So giving a summary of Jeremiah 49:10?
THE SPOILING OF ESAU’S SEED
Esau will be plain to see and the things he does will reveal who he is, even though he mixed in with other nations and will not be seen for how he originally looked or found where he originally lived, he will not be able to hide!
In other words, Esau did a disappearing act on us all, but he cannot be hidden, because of his nature.
So let us see where the mingling of his seed really manifested (although it started when he took wives of the children of Canaan). Isn’t it written in the Book of Jasher (see precedences in 2 Sam 1:18, Josh 10:13)?:
Jasher 90:7 And the children of Chittim (Kittim) continued their pursuit of Edom, and they smote them with a great slaughter and Edom became subject to the children of Chittim.
8 And the children of Chittim ruled over Edom, and Edom became under the hand of the children of Chittim and became one kingdom from that day.
9 And from that time they could no more lift up their heads, and their kingdom became one with the children of Chittim.
Chittim goes back to the Greeks, Romans, Macedonians, Cypriots, Assyrians, and had spread themselves all over the nations we have today. Interestingly for the purpose of this article?
Kittim end up appointing Zepho, son of Eliphaz and grandson of Esau, as their king, with the title Janus Saturnus. The first king of Rome, Romulus, is made in this account to be a distant successor of this line. Source.
EDOM: THE BORDER OF WICKEDNESS
Who are the current day Edomites? Indeed, it is really not hard to see who Esau is. As a matter of fact, it is easier to find the descendants of Edom than it is to find the children of Israel. I will let you deduce who these people are from the following verses. First of all, Job told us this:
Job 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
So the earth is in the hand of the wicked. Now the next relevant question is, who is the chief of the wicked of this earth according to the Bible? Let’s see:
Malachi 1:4 Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we will return and build the desolate places; thus saith YAHUAH TSABVA’OTH, They shall build, but I will throw down; and THEY SHALL CALL THEM, THE BORDER OF WICKEDNESS, and, The people against whom YAHUAH hath indignation for ever.
ESAU IS RULING THE EARTH TODAY
So if the world is given into the hand of the wicked and Edom SHALL BE called the border of wickedness, then who are the Edomites today? Surely it is not the Arab! The Arabs have wealth, but only control the oil wealth of the world. They do not have control of the world! The world is not in their hands.
Let me give you another hint.
2 Esdras 6:9
For Esau is the end of the world (this age), and Jacob is the beginning of it that followeth.
The meaning of “the world” there is “this age.”
If Esau is the end of this age, it means Edom will be ruling this age until Jacob takes over to start the coming age!
Now Jacob (Israel) has not yet taken over as all the prophecies for the gathering of Israel and the return of their Messiah have not yet been fulfilled.
Therefore, Esau must still be ruling this age today. If you don’t get that, let us recap what the preceding verses are saying.
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked in this age, and Esau shall be called the border of wickedness (in this age). That means that Esau will be ruling this earth until Jacob is given the rulership. The Arabs are not the nation of people who are ruling the earth!
THE ANSWERS TO THESE QUESTIONS PROVE WHO ARE THE EDOMITES TODAY
So the next few questions should answer the question as to who are the Edomites today. They are the wicked of the earth and most important to note, they are extremely greedy and will take everything and leave others with nothing. Here we are told about this nature of Edom: they are never satisfied:
Jer 49:9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough.
The Arabs do not scrape up everything in the world and leave others with nothing.
And so, let us look at these questions based on what the wicked rulers of this earth do. Here we go. Generally…
Who are the most prosperous people today who control most of the wealth of the earth and dictate to the whole world according to their whims and fancy? Not the Arab.
Who punishes other nations if they don’t conform to their rule? Not the Arab.
Who destroys nations and peoples who are not in line with their intentions? Not the Arab.
Who manipulates the resources of the world so poor nations have to allow them access? Not the Arab.
Who creates unjust laws from time to time that are wicked and in total contradiction to the Bible? Not the Arab. They go by the koran which has similar laws to the Bible.
Who never seems satisfied with the wealth they possess? Not the Arab. They sit and mine their oil and enjoy that wealth.
Who, just who then, is the border of wickedness? I guess you must have it figured out by now. However, for concrete Biblical, historical and natural proof (his includes their titles and their architecture that they have kept with them even today), please watch the first video above (at the top of the page) as we trace and reveal, who are the Edomites today?
Shalom sir! I watched and read this and I’m curious. I’m a white young man and folks have told me that because I’m a white person a supposed Edomite and of another nation that The Most High thinks I’m nothing, that He hates my guts and I have no hope of salvation/being spared/eternal life in His service and presence. But I thought white people being from Europe and thus were descended from Japheth the progenitor of many European and Asian peoples. Am I doomed to death and damnation even though I believe in Yahshua the Messiah His Son and strive to obey His Spirit and keep the commandments and everything?
Hi Hunter, thanks for commenting. Esau mingled his seed with Japheth as prophesied in Jeremiah 49:10:
Jer 49:10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
1. His seed is spoiled (mingled with Japheth) 2. He will not be able to hide himself (because of his wicked behaviour he will be easy to see) 3) “He is not” means he will appear to not be in existence because he no longer looked like he originally looked.
That said, let me guide you through stage by stage. First, you must know that you must suffer for what your fathers did, just as we are suffering for what our fathers did, just as Daniel did in Babylon for the sins of his people:
Rev 13:10 He that leadeth into captivity shall go into captivity: he that killeth with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.
Isa 14:21 Prepare slaughter FOR HIS CHILDREN for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
And know that in the end, your people will be destroyed for their wickedness:
Oba 1:18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for YAHUAH hath spoken it.
However, when the Bible says “all,” it does not always mean every single one. In your case, there is a chance to go into servitude in the end:
Amo 9:11-12 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: THAT THEY MAY POSSESS THE REMNANT OF EDOM, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith YAHUAH that doeth this.
So there will still be a remnant of Edomites who will be saved for servitude, who are called by YAHUAH’S name (true believers).
However, to qualify to be spared, you do not only have to be a believer, you have to actually cleave to the children of Israel in their persecution. You cannot utterly separate yourself from YAHUAH’S people, living your comfortable life, while they are in wants and being persecuted:
Isa 56:3 Neither let the son of the stranger, that hath joined himself to YAHUAH, speak, saying, YAHUAH hath utterly separated me from his people: neither let the eunuch say, Behold, I am a dry tree.
You literally have to cling to his people: empathize with them, assist them in whatever way you can, because in the end, only those strangers (non-Israelites) who cleave to Israel will be even given the privilege to serve them.
Isa 14:1-2 For YAHUAH will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land: and THE STRANGERS SHALL BE JOINED WITH THEM, AND THEY SHALL CLEAVE (cling to) THE HOUSE OF JACOB. And the people shall take them, and bring them to their place: and the house of Israel shall possess (own) them in the land of YAHUAH for servants and handmaids: and they shall take them captives, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Got it? Any more questions you may ask and I will answer if I can.
Hi,
Jesus died for everyone, salvation is for everyone as long you have accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior.
Galatians 3
28 There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
29 If you belong to Christ, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.
Sure, the false Messiah Jesus Christ died for everyone, but the true Messiah Yahusha HaMashiach died for the sins of Israel:
Act 5:30-31 The Aluah of our fathers raised up Yahusha, whom ye slew and hanged on a tree. Him hath YAHUAH exalted with his right hand to be a Prince and a Saviour, FOR TO GIVE REPENTANCE TO ISRAEL, AND FORGIVENESS OF SINS.
Mat 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
Luk 1:68 Blessed be YAHUAH Aluahym of Israel (NOT OF EVERYBODY!); for he hath visited and redeemed his people (HE REDEEMED HIS PEOPLE ISRAEL THROUGH MESSIAH),
Luk 1:69 And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us (SALVATION FOR ISRAEL) in the house of his servant David;
Luk 1:70 As he spake by the mouth of his holy prophets, which have been since the world began:
Luk 1:71 That we (ISRAELITES) should be saved from our enemies (THE CHIEF OF WHICH IS EDOM), and from the hand of all that hate us;
Luk 1:72 To perform the mercy promised to our fathers (INCLUDING ABRAHAM), and to remember his holy covenant;
Luk 1:73 The oath which he sware to our father (THE FATHER OF THE ISRAELITES) Abraham,
Luk 1:74 That he would grant unto us, that we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear,
Luk 1:75 In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
Therefore when it says “if you belong to Messiah, then you are Abraham’s seed, it is speaking of by lineage…he is speaking of not all Israel that are Israel, meaning only those who believe in the Messiah are Israel, only those Israelites who believe in Messiah are Abraham’s seed. Seed there in Galatians 3:29 is the word “sperma,” which means:
G4690
σπέρμα
sperma
sper’-mah
From G4687; somethng sown, that is, seed (including the male “sperm”); by implication offspring; specifically a remnant (figuratively as if kept over for planting): – issue, seed.
It means a literal offspring, born out of male sperm. It does not refer to any spiritual seed! Take a good look.
Also, neither Jews nor Gentiles? The whole house of Israel was divided into the house of Judah (neither Jews) and the house of Israel had been dispersed in 722 BCE and had become Gentiles. The letter to the Gentiles was addressed to them (nor Gentiles). Proof?
1Pe 1:1 Peter, an apostle of Yahusha HaMashiach, to the strangers scattered throughout Pontus, GALATIA (Galatians), Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia,
What does strangers mean there:
G3927
παρεπίδημος
parepidēmos
par-ep-id’-ay-mos
From G3844 and the base of G1927; an alien alongside, that is, a resident foreigner: – pilgrim, stranger.
Strangers refer to an alien, a resident foreigner. Therefore, it was addressed to the children of Israel who were resident among the Galatians! This is why we have this:
Jas 1:1 James, a servant of God and of the Master Yahusha HaMashiach, TO THE TWELVE TRIBES WHICH ARE SCATTERED ABROAD, greeting.
More proof? Only one nation was given the law. Which nation was that?
Deu_4:8 And what nation is there so great, that hath statutes and judgments so righteous as all this law, which I set before you this day?
Psa 147:19-20 He sheweth his word unto Jacob, his statutes and his judgments unto Israel. He hath not dealt so with any nation: and as for his judgments, they have not known them. Praise ye YAHUAH.
Rom 9:4 Who are Israelites; to whom pertaineth the adoption, and the glory, and the covenants, and THE GIVING OF THE LAW, and the service of Aluahym, and the promises;
Rom 9:5 Whose are the fathers, and of whom as concerning the flesh Messiah came, who is over all, YAHUAH blessed for ever. So be it.
So it is obvious then that the law was given to Israel and Israel only, so when we see the following in Galatians 3, we know it is speaking to Israelites living in Galatia:
Gal 3:23 But before faith came, WE (Israelites) WERE KEPT UNDER THE LAW, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed.
Gal 3:24 Wherefore THE LAW WAS OUR (Israelites) SCHOOLMASTER to bring us unto Messiah, that we might be justified by faith.
Got it?
However, Edomites will have a chance to be the servants of the children of Israel in the kingdom if they humble themselves and cleave to the house of Israel:
Amo 9:11-12 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: THAT THEY (Israelites) MAY POSSESS (own) THE REMNANT OF EDOM, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith YAHUAH that doeth this.
Got it? It is far deeper than the recitations they taught in Christianity. The truth was hidden because it was for the children of Israel, but in our captivity, our eyes were blinded and the Gentiles inherited lies, thinking it was about them. Now the time of the Gentiles is coming to an end, our eyes are opening to the truth, and this will soon be the cry of your people after you have come to the knowledge of the truth:
Jer_16:19 O YAHUAH, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, THE GENTILES SHALL COME UNTO THEE FROM THE ENDS OF THE EARTH, and shall say, SURELY OUR FATHERS HAVE INHERITED LIES, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Shalam, and thanks for commenting.
I love you, more importantly God loves you. He loves you so much that He sent His son Jesus to pay the price for YOU, for all of your sins. You are that important to Him. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ. God doesn’t lie, so trust Him because He said by faith you are saved. Believe in His words, get to know Him by reading your bible, and talk to Him about everything. He is the only One can write your name in the book of life, so do not let anyone condemn you. You no longer have your ancestors blood running through your veins because Jesus shed His blood for you, that’s what running through your veins. Trust him! Be blessed!
My Father did not send Jesus for me. He sent Yahusha ben Yahuseph (Yahusha HaMasiach). Jesus is Esus, who is a Gealic/Celtic idol, the son of Gudt (who is God). Wake up sister, you are in a false, idolatrous religion following God and you do not know the Most High YAHUAH TSABA’OTH, the creator of the heavens and the earth and the Aluahym of Israel (who is not the idol called God).
You need to come out of that drunken stupor and wake up. The Bible is not about a religion, but about a nation of people. All other people will be tributary to these people in the end. It is what the scriptures say and that is what we teach. Shalam.
You need to be a man. Please don’t act like one of those so called Liberals blabbering on about white silence, white privilege and the like. The truth, in essence is that no matter what you do or would like to do, it will be never good enough. Even if you offered yourself or your offspring into servitude it will never be sufficient. By spending your own time thinking about such enthocentricity you harm yourself. Don’t seek out to please those who actually despise you, no matter what they say. I had a colleague once who proclaimed such beliefs so I quickly outgrown such nefarious and retrograte attitudes. Think about it.
Hi,
I am not a scholar, I may not be able to quote the bible but I know it for myself. The greatest command that God requires of us is to love God, and then our neighbor. Reading your previous comment, maybe I wrong, but I didn’t see the love. You’re basically telling this soul that he will perish or will become a slave unless he cleaves to the real Israelites…at least that’s what I gathered from reading it.
I’m a black woman, and I believe that I am an Hebrew. But I would hate to be so consumed with my identity that I would miss out on what Christ did for me. I would hate to go around condemning others and miss out on Grace. Christ died for ALL sins, so we are saved by Grace.
This is a website that teaches what the Bible says. Just as the Bible lays it out, we lay it out. Love is not always obvious. I love, which is why I tell the truth, and what is on this website is the truth of scripture as it is given to us. What you lack is understanding of the times.
You are a Christian, so all you talk about is love. What about judgment? What about the judgment that the Most high promises for the earth in these end times? What about the destruction that he promises for Edom? This post is to wake up the Edomites so they confess their evil, peradventure the Most High will spare them his wrath in the day of destruction. Now isn’t that love?
