Due to so much false teaching in the whore houses called churches today, it is time that the �MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, AND EXPLAINED.� Therefore, it is time for him to be revealed as to who this man of sin is, and also who the Beast is, the false prophet, and the Red Dragon with seven heads and ten horns with crowns upon each head as reveled in Revelation 12:3.
�For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant. And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. And they that understand among the people shall instruct many: yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil, many days. Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but MANY SHALL CLEAVE TO THEM WITH FLATTERIES. And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end: because it is yet for a time appointed. And THE KING SHALL DO ACCORDING TO HIS WILL; AND HE SHALL EXALT HIMSELF, AND MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE EVERY GOD, AND SHALL SPEAK MARVELLOUS THINGS AGAINST THE GOD OF GODS, AND SHALL PROSPER TILL THE INDIGNATION BE ACCOMPLISHED: for that that is determined shall be done. NEITHER SHALL HE REGARD THE GOD OF HIS FATHERS (this is speaking of the jews because their father was Esau, and therefore could claim Abraham, and Isaac as their father), nor the desire of women, NOR REGARD ANY GOD FOR HE SHALL MAGNIFY HIMSELF ABOVE ALL. BUT IN HIS ESTATE SHALL HE HONOUR THE GOD OF FORCES; AND A GOD WHOM HIS FATHERS KNEW NOT SHALL HE HONOUR with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon. He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and the land of Egypt shall not escape. But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away many. And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.� (Daniel 11:30-45)

There are scripture references of the beast in Revelation 13:11-18:
�And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a lamb, and he spake as a dragon. And he exerciseth all the power of the first beast before him, and causeth the earth and them which dwell therein to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. And he doeth great wonders, so that he maketh fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men, And deceiveth them that dwell on the earth by the means of those miracles which he had power to do in the sight of the beast; saying to them that dwell on the earth, that they should make an image to the beast, which had the wound by a sword, and did live. And he had power to give life unto the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak, and cause that as many as would not worship the image of the beast should be killed. And he causeth all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and bond, to receive a mark in their right hand, or in their foreheads: And that no man might buy or sell, save he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, or the number of his name. Here is wisdom. Let him that hath understanding count the number of the beast: for it is the number of a man; and his number is Six hundred threescore and six.�
We know that this is making reference to the Roman Catholic Church; but it has been under the control of the Black Pope who is always a jew, for many centuries, that it is secretly talking about the jews.
The beast or creature rose up out of the earth of wickedness and had �two horns like a lamb.� he clue is this, Israel or the Nation of Israel (The United States of America, the great nation promised to Abraham) are the sheep of Yahweh�s pasture or the sheep of God�s Kingdom on earth, and Christ is the Lamb of God. The world in general has been brainwashed or propandandized to believe the that Jew is Isabel, the sheep of God�s pasture or the Chosen People of God. However, since all Jews are apostate because they believe that Christ is a bastard and a fake. As is shown in their writings:
�The program of Judaizing in our schools and in the homes is coasting along without opposition or criticism by our Bishops� or Superintendents of Schools, on the contrary, it is encouraged by them and commanded. If I am to voice a valid criticism of this program I shall be labeled forthwith as a venomous anti-Semite. But if the Talmud is quoted for the benefit of our readers who love Christ and His Church and His Mother, and the Talmud proves to be venomously anti-Christ, then where is the anti-Semitism? Is it in this writer or is it in the Talmud? If the Talmud refers to Jesus my God as a bastard and to His Mother, my lady as a prostitute, what do you expect me to see? I see red. The Talmud is the basic cause, the blatant cause of all that is anti-Jewish or as the Anti-Defamation League erroneously prefers to call it, anti-Semitism. It must be remembered that the Assyrians, the Chaldeans, the Arabs and the Phoenicians are also pure Semites (here the good priest is in error, for none of these mentioned are Semites; they were not Semites then, and they are not Semites now), while many, of the Jews today ARE NOT SEMITIC IN RACE AT ALL, but descendants of the Khazars, the Asiatic Mongolian nation, converted to Talmudism or Judaism; yet they would have you believe that you are an anti-Semite.
�How is it that when we call the Jews the anti-Christ people on the basis of their own Talmud we are instantly tagged as being anti-Semites, while they can publish the blasphemous Passover Plot and be called scholars and careful documenters? This writer is convinced that the Vatican Council II Declaration on Semitism cannot be put into practice. By the Tradition of the Church it is entirely out of order, among other things, they are not too many Semites who profess Judaism. Rather than being a Declaration on Semitism it should have been named a Declaration on Judaism. Here the issues have been terribly confused by a Pastoral Council, for Judaism must be rejected by Christianity.
�The Reverend Father I.B. Pranaitis, a Roman Catholic Priest, Master of Theology and Professor of the Hebrew Language at the Imperial Ecclesiastical Academy of the Roman Catholic Church in old St. Petersburg, published his book in 1892 called, �The Talmud Unmasked.� this treatise received the imprimatur of the Archbishop Metropolitan of Moghileff, Francis Albino Symon, on April 13, 1892.
�For his work in exposing the Talmud, Father Pranaitis HAD TO PAY WITH HIS LIFE. He wrote in the epilog: �I realize, however, that, since the truth does not please everyone, there are many who will become my enemies for thus having borne witness to the truth, and I have been reminded of this, both by the laws of the Talmud itself which threatens death to �traitors,� and more so, by the warnings of those who have had experience of the actions which Jews take against those who make known things which are not favorable to them. They are foretold that I would perish at the hands of the Jews. �Wzsak ciebie zydzi zabija� �But the Jews will kill you.� In fact, Father Pranaitis met his death at the hands of the Bolsheviks during the revolution.�
Many more references will follow later concerning Mary, and Yahshua. The Talmud teaches that Yahshua was illegitimate and was conceived during menstruation; that he had the soul of Esau: that he was a fool, a conjurer, a seducer; and he was crucified, buried in hell and set up as an idol ever since by his followers.
The tract Kallah, (1b, 18b) narrates the following concerning the conception of Christ during menstruation (after reading this we wonder how many good Catholic and Protestants can associate with such alacrity with these people Brace yourselves:
�Once when the Elders were seated at the Gate, two young men passed by, one of whom had his had covered, the other with his head bare. Rabbi Eliezer remarked that the one in his bare head was illegitimate, a �mamzer.�
�Rabbi Johoschua said that he (Christ) was conceived during menstruation, (ben niddah). Rabbi Akibah, however, said that he was both. Whereupon the others asked Rabbi Akibah why he dared to contradict his colleagues. He answered that he could prove what he said. He went therefore to the boy�s mother whom he saw sitting in the market place selling vegetables an said to her:
�My daughter, if you will answer truthfully what I am going to ask you, I promise that you will be saved in the next life.� She demanded that he would swear to keep his promise, and Rabbi Adibah did so; but with his lips only, for hi his heart he invalidated his oath. Then he said: �Tell me, what kind of son is this of your?� to which she replied: �the day I was married I was having menstruation, and because of this my husband left me. But an evil spirit came and slept with me and from this intercourse my son was born to me.�
�The Jews understand this story to refer to Jesus and His Mother Mary in their book Toldath Jeschu (The Generations of Jesus), where the birth of Christ is narrated in almost the same words. For the horrendous blasphemy the anti-Christ will be born of a Hebrew woman; he will be Hebrew.�
The following is a summary of references to Jesus in the Talmud and other Jewish books:
Sanhedrin 67a: Jesus referred to as the son of Pandira, a soldier. Mother a prostitute.
Kallah 1b. (18b): Illegitimate and conceived during menstruation. Mother a Prostitute.
Sanhedrin 67a: Jesus was hanged on the eve of Passover.
Toldath Jeschu: The Birth of Christ related in most shameful expressions.
Zohar (I,25a): Christians are to be destroyed as idolators.
Abhodah Zarah II: Christ referred to as the son of Pandira, a Roman soldier, a Prostitute Mother.
Schabbath XIV: Christ again referred to as the son of Padira the Roman soldier.
Sanhedrin 43a: On the eve of Passover they hanged Jesus.
Toldoth Jeschu: Says Judas and Jesus engaged in a quarrel with human excrement.
Sanhedrin 103a: Suggested corrupts his morals and dishonors self.
Zohar III (282): Died like a beast and buried in animal's dung heap.
�������������������������������������������������������������������������������� Christians in the Talmud
In Abhodah Zarah (20. A. Toseph) it says: �Do not say anything in praise of them, lest it be said; How good that Goi is.� Yet the Anti-Defamation League and B�nai B�rith will give awards to Christians. This is hypocrisy pure and simple for they will even violate their Talmud to deceive Christians. Rabbi S. Larchi, in his comments of the words of Deuteronomy 7:2 �and thou shalt show no mercy unto them (Goim)� as cited in the Gemarah, says: �Do not pay them any compliments; for it is forbidden to say; �how good that Goi is.�� Yet, Christians will allow themselves to be deceived, accept their plaques and have their wings burned like moths around a hot bulb.
The proper word for Christian Saints in Hebrew is Kedoschim, but they are called Kededchim, feminine men or fairies. Women saints are called Kedeschoth, whores. Sunday is called the day of calamity. Christmas is called Nital, denoting exterminating. Easter is not called by the proper word Pesach Passover, but Ketsach, a cutting down or Kesach, a gallows. A Christian Church is not called Beth Hattefillah, House of Prayer, but Beth Hattiflah, a house of vanity, a house of Evil. So when the Rabbis can now be present in our churches, they see a table and not an altar, they see the images of the saints gone, for in their Iore Deah, (146. 15) it says: �Their idols must be destroyed, or called by contemptuous names.�
In other words, the new interior of our Churches is agreeable to the Rabbi and if he is not so well pleased he follows the precept of Iore Deah (157. 2. Hagah): �If a Jew is able to deceive them (idolaters, Christians) by pretending he is a worshiper of the stars (crucifixes), he may do so.� Gospel Books are called Aavon Gilaion or Books of Iniquity, Christian Sacrifices are called Dung Offerings. A Christian girl who works for Jews on their Sabbath is called Schaw wesschicksel, (Sabbath dirt).

When the history of Jewish Bolshevism is studied you will see how well they put the Talmud into practice. In Sepher or Israel (177b) it says: �Take the life of the Kliphoth and kill them, and you will please God the same as one who offered incense to Him.� After the destruction of the Temple at Jerusalem, the only sacrifice necessary is the extermination of Christians, for the Zohar (III. 227b) it says: �The only sacrifice required is that we remove the unclean from among us.��those who kill Christians shall have a high place in heaven.� (Zohar I. 38b and 39a) �Jews must never cease to exterminate the Goim: they must never leave them in peace and never submit to them.� (Hilkhoth Akum, X. I) �All Jews are obliged to unite together to destroy traitors amongst them.� (Choschen Hamm. 338. 16)
In Sanhedrin (59a) it is written: �Rabbi Jochanan says: �A goi who spies into the Law is guilty of death.�
This means that anyone found studying the Talmud merits death, to keep him from exposing the Mischnah?
The destruction of Rome is intended when Rabbi Abraham in his Tseror hammor, says: �Immediately after Rome is destroyed we shall be redeemed.��The Kingdom of Rome must be exterminated, because when corrupt Rome is destroyed, salvation and freedom will come to God�s Chosen People.� (Synag. Jud. Ch. X. p. 212) Mimicking the words of Iore Deah (158, 1)in Abhodah Zarah, 26b Tosephoth it is written: �Even the best of the Goim should be killed.�
The Schulhan Arukh, after the words of Iore Deah (158, 1) �that those of Akum who do no harm to the Jews are not to be killed, namely, those who do not wage war against Israel, explains the word Milchamah,� (war), thus �but in time of war the Akum are to be killed, for it is written: �The good among the Akum deserve to be killed.��
�Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that MAN OF SIN BE REVEALED, THE SON OF PERDITION; who opposeth and exaltheth himself ABOVE ALL THAT IS CALLED GOD, or that is worshiped: so that HE AS GOD sittenth IN THE TEMPLE OF GOD, shewing himself that HE IS GOD.� (2 Thessalonians 2:3-4)
You will notice that Paul does his usual double tongue statements, which brings so much confusion to the minds of Christians everywhere. You notice that the man of sin �exaltheth himself above all that IS CALLED GOD� not God, but all that is called God. Now what in the world are things that are called �God.�� Well the jews do that all the time when they say that they are their own Messiah:
"The Jewish people as a whole will be its own Messiah. It will attain world dominion by the dissolution of other races, by the abolition of frontiers, the annihilation of monarchy, and by the establishment of a world republic in which the Jews will everywhere exercise the privilege of citizenship. In this new world order the Children of Israel will furnish all the leaders without encountering opposition. The Governments of the different peoples forming the world republic will fall without difficulty into the hands of the Jews. It will then be possible for the Jewish rulers to abolish private property, and everywhere to make use of the resources of the state. Thus will the promise of the Talmud be fulfilled, in which is said that when the Messianic time is come the Jews will have all the property of the whole world in their hands." (Baruch Levy, Letter to Karl Marx, La Revue de Paris, p. 54, June 1, 1928)
Now we know that our Body is the �Temple� of God. So what could Paul have been speaking of here? We know that the whore houses called Churches of today, were once the House of God, but have been changed into whore houses by false teacher and priests of Baal; by the government and it agencies (501(c)(3) churches). Therefore, Satan, his doctrine having been taught to our Israel people by his children the devil and their proselytes, have installed themselves into the minds and hearts of our people. So Satan, the devil, or dragon is made a god by these false teachers and have placed into their minds; so, in effect, he is as God setting In The Temple of God, and thus showing himself and those he has come to live in, convincing them that he is god.
As we continue to investigate this man of sin, we find that he is not a lone individual but a nation or race of people. The two horns appear to represent the power of this antichrist man of sin. These people, have absolute control of the two most powerful forces that control the whole world in every phase of human life. These two horns represent the control of the monetary or money system and also the media or the control of news and propaganda; which includes the control of the television, movies, magazines, books, and pamphlets.
"The warning of Theodore Roosevelt has much timeliness today, for the real menace of our republic is this INVISIBLE GOVERNMENT WHICH LIKE A GIANT OCTOPUS SPRAWLS ITS SLIMY LENGTH OVER CITY, STATE AND NATION. Like the octopus of real life, it operates under cover of a self‑created screen. It seizes in its long and powerful tentacles OUR EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, OUR LEGISLATIVE BODIES, OUR SCHOOLS, OUR COURTS, OUR NEWSPAPERS {magazines, radio and television}, and every agency created for the public protection. It squirms in the jaws of darkness and thus is the better able to clutch the reins of government, secure enactment of the legislation favorable to corrupt business, violate the law with impunity, smother the press and reach into the courts.
�To depart from mere generalizations, let say that at the head of this octopus are the Rockefeller‑Standard Oil interests and a small group of powerful banking houses generally referred to as the international bankers. The little coterie of powerful international bankers virtually run the United States Government for their own selfish purposes. They practically control both parties, write political platforms, make cat�s-paws of party leaders, use the leading men of private organizations, and resort to every device to place in nomination for high public office only such candidates as well be amenable to the dictates of corrupt big business. They connive at centralization of government on the theory that a small group of hand‑picked, privately controlled individuals in power can be more easily handled than a larger group among whom there will most likely be men sincerely interested in public welfare. These international bankers and Rockefeller‑Standard Oil interests control the majority of the newspapers and magazines in this country. They use the columns of these papers to club into submission or drive out of office public officials who refuse to do the bidding of the powerful corrupt cliques which compose the invisible government." (Former New York City Mayor John Haylan speaking in Chicago and quoted in the March 27 New York Times)
In order not to annihilate the institutions of the goyim before it is time we have touched them with craft and delicacy, and have taken hold of the ends of the springs which move their mechanism. These springs lay in a strict but just sense of order; we have replaced them by the chaotic license of liberalism. We have got our hands into the administration of the law, into the conduct of elections, into the press, into liberty of the person, but principally into education and training as being the corner‑stones of a free existence. (Protocol 9:9)
"We have only to look around us in the world today, to see everywhere the same disintegrating power at work, in art, literature, the drama, the daily Press, in every sphere that can influence the mind of the public...our modern cinemas perpetually endeavor to stir up class hatred by scenes and phrases showing 'the injustice of Kings,' 'the sufferings of the people,' 'the Selfishness of Aristocrats,' regardless of whether these enter into the theme of the narrative or not. And in the realms of literature, not merely in works of fiction but IN MANUALS FOR SCHOOLS, IN HISTORIES AND BOOKS professing to be of serious educative value and receiving a skillfully organized boom throughout the press, EVERYTHING IS DONE TO WEAKEN PATRIOTISM, to shake belief in all existing institutions by the systematic perversion of both contemporary and historical facts. I do not believe that all this is accidental; I do not believe that he public asks for the anti‑patriotic to demoralizing books and plays placed before it; on the contrary it invariably responds to an appeal to patriotism and simple healthy emotions. The heart of the people is still sound, but ceaseless efforts are made to corrupt it." (N.H. Webster, Secret Societies and Subversive Movements p. 342; The Secret Powers Behind Revolution, by Vicomte Leon De Poncins, pp. 180‑181)
The jews have all but destroyed our school system:
�We have fooled, bemused and corrupted the youth of the goyim by rearing them in principles and theories which are known to us to be false although it is by us that they have been inculcated. Above the existing laws without substantially altering them, and by merely twisting them into contradictions of interpretations, we have erected something grandiose in the way of results. These results found expression first in the fact that the interpretations masked the laws: afterwards they entirely hid them from the eyes of the governments owing to the impossibility of making anything out of the tangled web of legislation. This is the origin of the theory of course of arbitration.� (Protocol 9:10-12)
The jews even brag about their control of the news that comes to us:
�We shall deal with the press in the following way: What is the part played by the press today? It serves to excite and inflame those passions which are needed for our purpose or else it serves selfish ends of parties. It is often vapid, unjust, mendacious, and the majority of THE PUBLIC HAVE NOT THE SLIGHTEST IDEA WHAT ENDS THE PRESS REALLY SERVES. We shall saddle and bridle it with a tight curb: we shall do the same also with all productions of the printing press, for where would be the sense of getting rid of the attacks of the press if we remain targets for pamphlets and books?� (Protocol 12:3)
"The great agencies of the world which are everywhere the principal source of news for the Press (just as wholesale businesses supply the retailers), which spreads far and wide that which the world should know or should not know, and in the form which they wish, these agencies are either Jewish property or obey Jewish direction. The situation is the same for the smaller agencies which supply news to the newspapers of less importance, the great publicity agencies which receive commercial advertisements and which then insert them in the newspapers at the price of a large commission for themselves, are principally in the hands of the Jews; so are many provincial newspapers. Even when the Jewish voice is not heard directly in the Press, there comes into play the great indirect influences, Free Masonry, Finance, etc.
�In many places Jews content themselves with this hidden influence, just as in economic life they consider Joint‑Stock companies as the most profitable. The editors may quite well be Aryans, it is sufficient that in all important questions they should stand for Jewish interests, or at least that they should not oppose them. This is achieved nearly always by the pressure of advertisement agencies." (Eberle, Grossmacht Press, Vienna, p. 204; The Secret Powers Behind Revolution, by Vicomte Leon De Poncins, p. 174)
Charles Lindbergh tried to warn America:
"We are disturbed about the effect of the Jewish influence on our press, radio, and motion pictures. It may become very serious. (Fulton) Lewis told us of one instance where the Jewish advertising firms threatened to remove all their advertising from the Mutual System if a certain feature was permitted to go on the air. The threat was powerful enough to have the feature removed." (Charles A. Lindbergh, Wartime Journals, May 1, 1941)
�Not a single announcement will reach the public without our control. Even now this is already being attained by us inasmuch as all news items are received by a few agencies, in whose offices they are focused from all parts of the world. These agencies will then be ready entirely ours and will give publicity only to what we dictate to them.� (Protocol 12:4)
"The corruption does not consist in the government exercising influence on the Press; such pressure is often necessary; but in the fact that it is exercised secretly, so that the public believes that it is reading a general opinion when in reality it is a minister who speaks; and the corruption of journalism does not consist in its serving the state, but in its patriotic convictions being in proportion to the amount of a subsidy." (Eberle, p. 128, Grossmacht Press, Vienna, p. 128; The Secret Powers Behind Revolution, by Vicomte Leon De Poncins, 173)
�If already now we have contrived to possess ourselves of the minds of the goy communities to such an extent that they all come near looking upon the events of the world through the colored glasses of those spectacles we are setting astride their noses: if already now there is not a single State where there exist for us any barriers to admittance into what goy stupidity calls State secrets; what will our position be then, when we shall be acknowledged supreme lords of the world in their person of our king of all the world...� (Protocol 12:5)
"The greatest danger to this country lies in their large ownership and influence in our motion pictures, our press, our radio, (television) and our government." (Charles A. Lindbergh, Speech at Des Moines, Iowa, September 11, 1941)
�Let us turn again to the future of the printing press. Every one desirous of being a publisher, librarian, or printer, will be obliged to provide himself with the diploma instituted therefore, which, in case of any fault, will be immediately impounded. With such measures the instrument of thought will become an educative means in the hands of our government, which will no longer allow the mass of the nation to be led astray in by‑ways and fantasies about the blessings of progress. Is there nay one of us who does not know that these phantom blessings are the direct roads to foolish imaginings which give birth to anarchical relations of men among themselves and towards authority, because progress, or rather the idea of progress, has introduced the conception of every kind of emancipation, but has failed to establish its limits...All the so‑called liberals are anarchists, if not in fact, at any rate in thought. Every one of them is hunting after phantoms of freedom, and falling exclusively into license, that is, into the anarchy of protest for the sake of protest...� (Protocol 12:6)
"It may seem amazing to some readers, but it is not the less a fact that a considerable number of delegates [to the Peace Conference at Versailles] believed that the real influences behind the Anglo‑Saxon people were Jews...The formula into which this policy was thrown by the members of the conference, whose countries it affected, and who regarded it as fatal to the peace of Eastern Europe ends thus: Henceforth the world will be governed by the Anglo‑Saxon peoples, who, in turn, are swayed by their Jewish elements." (Dr. E.J. Dillion, The inside Story of the Peace Conference, pp. 496‑497; The Secret Powers Behind Revolution, by Vicomte Leon De Poncins, p. 170)
With these two forces they have gained control of the world and are able to maintain control.
Wouldn�t you like to know who this Man of Sin is and how he got to be the god of this world? We must go back into the Old Testament to the Book of Genesis to pick up the story of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel�s progeny. Let�s start with Isaac, when he was 40 and had brown to mature manhood and his fancy had turned to love. A beautiful bride by the name of Rebekah, who met all the qualifications of being a daughter of Adam�s fallen race through the lineage of Shem. Was found for Isaac and they fell in love at what appears to be first sight. About 20 years after they were married she became pregnant and in time there was struggling going on within her womb, of which she couldn�t understand. �So she went to enquire of the Lord.� (Genesis 25:22)
�And the LORD said unto her, Two nations are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall be separated from thy bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger. And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, behold, there were twins in her womb. And the first came out red, all over like an hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. And after that came his brother out, and his hand took hold on Esau's heel; and his name was called Jacob: and Isaac was threescore years old when she bare them.� (Genesis 25:23-26)
Paul in the Book of Romans says,
�And not only this: but when Rebecca also had conceived by one EVEN OUR FATHER ISAAC. For the children being NOT HET BORN, NEITHER HAVING DONE ANY GOOD OR EVIL, THAT THE PURPOSE OF GOD according TO THE ELECTION might stand, not of works, BUT OF HIM THAT CALLETH. It was said unto her, The elder shall serve the younger. As it is written, JACOB HAVE I LOVED BUT ESAU HAVE I HATED. What shall we say then? Is there unrighteousness with God?� (Romans 9:10-15)
How could Yahweh do this? How could He love one and hate the other? Is God unrighteous as Paul also asks? �God forbid.� So God says:
�For he saith to Moses, I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. So then it is not of him that willeth, nor of him that runneth, but of God that sheweth mercy. For the scripture saith unto Pharaoh, Even for this same purpose have I raised thee up, that I might shew my power in thee, and that my name might be declared throughout all the earth. Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth. Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction.� (Romans 9:15‑22)
After all I�m the Almighty God and I�m the boss of this whole outfit and in my sovereignty, I can do what I want in order to bring ABOUT MY GREAT PURPOSE in the earth that is to BRING THE SONS OF GOD INTO GLORY and a RIGHTEOUS KINGDOM OF GOD ON EARTH to reign.
Right now with Jacob and Esau, I need a race of devils to accomplish my purpose in the earth. I must have an adversary or an opposing force that I can pit against Jacob, the descendants of Cain are not enough, to bring about a desired result I must accomplish in them. If it takes positive and negative forces working against each other to produce electricity, I must use evil against good, unrighteousness against righteousness, sickness against health, wrong against right, darkness against light, etc., etc., to produce A NEW CREATION OF SONS AND DAUGHTERS OR GOD that will bring about a kingdom of righteousness and true holiness on the earth.
Yahweh continues to say, paraphrasing, So I�ll take the seed of Isaac and I�ll split it down the middle by using these twins, one shall be good and one shall be evil. Both Jacob and Esau shall continue to have a carnal nature which is rebellious to me, because of Eve�s sin in the Garden. But through the pressures and friction generated through Esau and his seed against Jacob and his seed after him, shall cause this carnal nature to be changed to a divine nature through me.
By my Spirit and circumstances, I will take the seed of Jacob and I will make of him the great and might single nation of Israel and later I�ll make of him a still greater nation of America and a company of nations in the British Isles� (Genesis 35:10-11) that will eventually become the Kingdom of Heaven on earth. I will also take some of the seed of Jacob and his offspring and shall foreordain or predestinate them so they shall be conformed to the image of my Son, even Yahshua and they shall surely become a Nation of Kings and Priests as promised to Abraham. (Genesis 17:5-6, 16; Exodus 19:6)
Notice it was Yahweh that made Esau and his offspring after him, the evil devilish people that they were and are in the world today. Romans 9:10 says that Isaac was the father of both of these boys. Some Bible Commentators accuse Rebecca of some hanky-panky or playing around, but the scripture is very clear here, who was responsible. (Isaiah 45:7; 54:16) Before these two boys were ever born God had programmed them to accomplish His purpose. Can we find fault then with God?
In the Book of Romans we found also where Yahweh determined to make of Esau, before he was ever born (Romans 9:11-14), a vessel of dishonor, a nation of apostate rebels or devils, but of Jacob, Yahweh fore ordained that he should be a vessel of honor in whom Yahweh was to be glorified. (Romans 9:21-26)
Yahweh had predestinated these two vessels of the same lump of clay, pitted against each other, would bring about His great purpose in the earth. The boys grew to young manhood. Esau was a man of the outdoor life, a cunning and clever hunter and Isaac loved Esau because of his venison. Jacob was a man of the field, a farmer and Rebekah loved him. Apparently Jacob had some Irish stew simmering on the fire one day as Esau returned home from a trip into the field.
The Book of Jasher relates it this way:
�And Esau at that time, after the death of Abraham, frequently went in the field to hunt. And Nimrod king of Babel, the same was Amraphel, also frequently went with his mighty men to hunt in the field, and to walk about with his men in the cool of the day. And Nimrod was observing Esau all the days, for a jealousy was formed in the heart of Nimrod against Esau all the days. And on a certain day Esau went in the field to hunt, and he found Nimrod walking in the wilderness with his two men. And all his mighty men and his people were with him in the wilderness, but they removed at a distance from him, and they went from him in different directions to hunt, and Esau concealed himself for Nimrod, and he lurked for him in the wilderness. And NIMROD AND HIS MEN THAT WERE WITH HIM DID NOT KNOW HIM, AND NIMROD AND HIS MEN FREQUENTLY WALKED ABOUT IN THE FIELD AT THE COOL OF THE DAY, AND TO KNOW WHERE HIS MEN WERE HUNTING IN THE FIELD. AND NIMROD AND TWO OF HIS MEN THAT WERE WITH HIM CAME TO THE PLACE WHERE THEY WERE, WHEN ESAU STARTED SUDDENLY FROM HIS LURKING PLACE, AND DREW HIS SWORD, AND HASTENED AND RAN TO NIMROD AND CUT OFF HIS HEAD. And Esau fought a desperate fight with the two men that were with Nimrod, and when they called out to him, Esau turned to them and smote them to death with his sword. And all the mighty men of Nimrod, who had left him to go to the wilderness, heard the cry at a distance, and they knew the voices of those two men, and they ran to know the cause of it, when they found their king and the two men that were with him lying dead in the wilderness. And WHEN ESAU SAW THE MIGHTY MEN OF NIMROD COMING AT A DISTANCE, HE FLED, AND THEREBY ESCAPED; AND ESAU TOOK THE VALUABLE GARMENTS OF NIMROD, WHICH NIMROD�S FATHER HAD BEQUEATHED TO NIMROD, AND WITH WHICH NIMROD PREVAILED OVER THE WHOLE LAND, AND HE RAN AND CONCEALED THEM IN HIS HOUSE. AND ESAU TOOK THOSE GARMENTS AND RAN INTO THE CITY ON ACCOUNT OF NIMROD�S MEN, AND HE CAME UNTO HIS FATHER�S HOUSE WEARIED AND EXHAUSTED FROM FLIGHT, AND HE WAS READY TO DIE THROUGH GRIEF WHEN HE APPROACHED HIS BROTHER JACOB AND SAT BEFORE HIM. AND HE SAID UNTO HIS BROTHER JACOB, BEHOLD I SHALL DIE THIS DAY, AND WHEREFORE THEN DO I WANT THE BIRTHRIGHT? AND JACOB ACTED WISELY WITH ESAU IN THIS MATTER, AND ESAU SOLD HIS BIRTHRIGHT TO JACOB, FOR IT WAS SO BROUGHT ABOUT BY THE LORD. AND ESAU�S PORTION IN THE CAVE OF THE FIELD OF MACHPELAH, WHICH ABRAHAM HAD BOUGHT FROM THE CHILDREN OF HETH FOR THE POSSESSION OF A BURIAL GROUND, ESAU ALSO SOLD TO JACOB, AND JACOB BOUGHT ALL THIS FROM HIS BROTHER ESAU FOR VALUE GIVEN. And Jacob wrote the whole� of this in a book, and he testified the same with witnesses, and he sealed it, and the book remained in the hands of Jacob.� (Jasher 21:1-14)
The Bible relates the story this way:
�And Jacob sod pottage; and Esau came from the field, and he was faint. And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint; therefore was his name called Edom.� (Which means red), so Jacob dickered with him.
�And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birthright. And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die; and what profit shall this birthright to me? And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he swore unto him, and he sold his birthright unto Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up and went his way; thus Esau despised his birthright.� (Genesis 25:27-34)
Later when Isaac was old and almost blind and wasn�t sure, how much longer he would live; told Esau to go into the fields and hunt down a deer and prepare some savory venison and then he would bless him before he dies. Of course Rebekah overheard Isaac saying this to Esau and since Rebekah loved Jacob, she and Jacob began to prepare a delicious deception on Isaac. Rebekah dressed Jacob in Esau�s clothes, put skins of goats on his arms and neck and prepared savory goat meat and bread to eat.
Jacob presented this to his father, who thought it was Esau. �For Jacob said unto his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn; I have done according as thou badest me; arise, I pray thee, set and eat my venison, that thy soul may bless me. And Isaac said unto his son, How is it that thou has found it so quickly my son? And he said, Because Yahweh brought it to me. And Isaac said unto Jacob come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.� (Genesis 27:19-29)
Jacob and Rebekah very cleverly convinced Isaac that Jacob was Esau and Isaac ceremoniously conveyed upon Jacob the birthright blessings. Scarcely had Jacob bone out of the presence of Isaac when Esau returned from hunting with his prepared savory venison.
�Let my father arise, and eat of his son�s venison, that thy soul may bless me,�
said Esau. (Genesis 27:31) Isaac arose and said, �Thy brother came with subtility, and hath taken away thy blessing.� Now Esau starts lying: �And he said, Is not he rightly named Jacob? for he hath supplanted me these two times: he took away my birthright; and, behold, now he hath taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved a blessing for me?� (Genesis 27:36) For we are told in the Book of Jasher that; JACOB BOUGHT ALL THIS FROM HIS BROTHER ESAU FOR VALUE GIVEN. Then Esau �And when Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said, Bless me, even me also, O my father...And he said, hast thou not reserved a blessing, for me?� (Genesis 27:34-36) �And Isaac his father answered and said unto him, Behold thy dwelling shall be the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. And by thy sword shalt thou live and shall serve thy brother; and it shall come to pass WHEN THOU SHALT HAVE THE DOMINION, THOU SHALT BREAK HIS YOKE FROM OFF THY NECK.� (Genesis 27:39-40) Today Esau has broken that yoke from off his neck and Esau is in command and Jacob is serving Esau, for a moment.
However, we should take a look at this: �Thy brother came with subtility, and hath taken away thy blessing.� Now does Isaac hesitate in accusing Jacob of doing this? No he does not hesitate, yet how could he know for a certainty that Jacob was the one who received the blessing? For we are told that Jacob was blind. For he called Jacob over so he could feel of him to see if he was Esau or not; we believe that he was not fooled and that Yahweh had him appear to be fooled, so as to pass the blessing on to Jacob, which had been Yahweh�s plan all along.
Yet Esau hated Jacob because of this and said in his heart, after my father�s death I�ll slay my brother Jacob. (Genesis 27:41) From this incident Jacob and Esau became and still are today, most bitter enemies, which is being used to shape the destiny of Jacob and his offspring.
Even though Jacob DID NOT STEAL THE BLESSING as the false priests of Baal in the whore houses called churches in America today teach. For the Book of Jasher clearly shows that Jacob bought the birthright from Esau for value rendered.
Perhaps you think we are taking too much time and space talking about Esau, but if we don�t understand that Esau also plays a most important part in Yahweh�s plan and purpose, we have missed the boat, or saddled the wrong horse so-to-speak. Now Jacob was no goody two shoes for sure, and took full advantage of Esau in the matter, but since Esau was very deceptive, Yahweh gave Jacob foresight to get the jump on Esau, to fulfill His word because He had said: �the elder would serve the younger.� and somehow Jacob had to have the Birthright given to him and the Blessing to fit into Yahweh�s purpose for the seed of promise.
Of course Rebekah heard that Esau planned to kill Jacob so she and Isaac sent Jacob out of the country to Laban her brother�s house to take a wife from him and stay out of sight of Esau until he cooled down. Surely, you know what happened to Jacob at Laban�s? After serving Laban for 20 years (Genesis 31:41) Jacob ended up with four wives, 11 sons, one daughter, untold numbers of hired hands and untold wealth in live stock and riches. Yahweh told Jacob to get back into Canaan land as he was having some problems with Laban his father-in-law anyway. As he was about to pass over Jordan into the promised land, he got word that Esau, his brother who had sworn to kill him, was fast approaching with four hundred armed soldiers.
Jacob was terrified yet he had presence of mind to organize his caravan into companies, the live stock with men and women servants first, his less loved family second and his most loved family last and sent them across the Jordan at Jabbok ford but he himself stayed behind to pray, for Jacob knew he was in big trouble.
Jacob wrestled all night with the Angel of the Lord in prayer and said unto him, �I will not let you go until you bless me?� (Genesis 32:26) So Yahweh had the Angel tell Jacob I�ll change your name from Jacob to �Israel, a prince ruling with god.� With this fantastic visitation with Yahweh, his name was changed Jacob�s nature and name and Jacob became a different person, born from above.
Next morning Jacob/Israel, no longer had any fear of meeting up with his brother Esau, as Yahweh had promised to deliver him from his brother. Buy why should he fear Esau anyway? For the past 20 years Esau had been plenty busy himself. He had, against Isaac�s instructions, taken two wives of the Canaanites, Adah of the Hittites and Anah of the Hivites of which his father Isaac had for bidden him to do and a third wife, Bashemath, a daughter of Ishmael, Abraham�s son whose mother was an Egyptian. So you see Esau was propagating quite rapidly himself. Furthermore, Yahweh had blessed Esau with a piece of land of considerable size just south of the Dead Sea. The land of Edom or Mt. Seir as it was called, was a rocky range of mountains stretching about 100 miles south of the Dead Sea and about 20 mils in width. It was well watered and had plenty of pasture. Petra, a beautiful city, which apparently had been carved out of living red sandstone by a race of giants, was now the Capitol of Esau�s Empire. The city carved high in a perpendicular cliff overlooking a valley of marvelous beauty, far back in the mountain canyons was their citadel. The Edomites would bo on raiding expeditions, and then retreat to their impregnable strongholds in the rocky gorges of their mountain Empire.
Esau approached Jacob with his well trained and well equipped army of 400 men, yet the scriptures relate: �Esau ran to meet him, and embraced him, and fell on his neck and kissed him; and they wept.� (Genesis 33:4) Now what was it that caused this change in Esau, who started out to kill Jacob, but instead would up hugging his neck and kissing him? We are told this story in the Book of Jasher:
�And at that time Jacob sent messengers to his brother Esau toward the land of Seir, and he spoke to him words of supplication.� And he commanded them, saying, Thus shall ye say to my lord, to Esau, Thus saith thy servant Jacob, Let not my lord imagine that my father's blessing with which he did bless me has proved beneficial to me. For I have been these twenty years with Laban, and he deceived me and changed my wages ten times, as it has all been already told unto my lord. And I served him in his house very laboriously, and God afterward saw my affliction, my labor and the work of my hands, and he caused me to find grace and favor in his sight. And I afterward through God's great mercy and kindness acquired oxen and asses and cattle, and men servants and maid servants. And now I am coming to my land and my home to my father and mother, who are in the land of Canaan; and I� have sent to let my lord know all this in order to find favor in the sight of my lord, so that he may not imagine that I have f myself obtained wealth, or that the blessing with which my father blessed me has benefitted me. And those messengers went to Esau, and found him on the borders of the land of Edom going toward Jacob, and four hundred men of the children of Seir the Horite were standing with drawn swords. And the messengers of Jacob told Esau all the words that Jacob had spoken to them concerning Esau. And Esau answered them with pride and contempt, and said unto them, Surely I have heard and truly it has been told unto me what Jacob has done to Laban, who exalted him in his house and gave him his daughters for wives, and he begat sons and daughters, and abundantly increased in wealth and riches in Laban's house through his means...And the Lord heard the prayer of Jacob on that day, and the Lord then delivered Jacob from the hands of his brother Esau. And the Lord sent three angels of the angels of heaven, and they went before Esau and came to him. And these angels appeared unto Esau and his people as two thousand men, riding upon horses furnished with all sorts of war instruments, and they appeared in the sight of Esau and all his men to be divided into four camps, with four chiefs to them. And one camp went on and they found Esau coming with four hundred men toward his brother Jacob, and this camp ran toward Esau and his people and terrified them, and Esau fell off the horse in alarm, and all his men separated from him in that place, for they were greatly afraid. And the whole of the camp shouted after them when they fled from Esau, and all the warlike men answered, saying, SURELY WE ARE THE SERVANTS OF JACOB, WHO IS THE SERVANT OF GOD, AND WHO THEN CAN STAND AGAINST US: And Esau said unto them, O then, my lord and brother Jacob is your lord, whom I have not seen for these twenty years, and now that I have this day come to see him, do you treat me in this manner? And THE ANGELS ANSWERED HIM SAYING, AS THE LORD LIVETH, WERE NOT JACOB OF WHOM THOU SPEAKETH THY BROTHER, WE HAD NOT LET ONE REMAINING FROM THEE AND THY PEOPLE, BUT ONLY ON ACCOUNT OF JACOB WE WILL DO NOTHING TO THEM. And this camp passed from Esau and his men and it went away, and Esau and his men had gone from them about a league when the second camp came toward him with all sorts of weapons, and they also did unto Esau and his men as the first camp had done to them. And when they had left it to go on, behold the third camp came toward him and they were all terrified, and Esau fell off the horse, and the whole camp cried out, and said, SURELY WE ARE THE SERVANTS OF JACOB, WHO IS THE SERVANT OF GOD, AND WHO CAN STAND AGAINST US? And Esau again answered them saying, O then, Jacob my lord and your lord is my brother, and for twenty years I have not seen his countenance and hearing this day that he was coming, I went this day to meet him, and do you treat me in this manner? And THEY ANSWERED HIM, AND SAID UNTO HIM, AS THE LORD LIVETH, WERE NOT JACOB THY BROTHER AS THOU DIDST SAY, WE HAD NOT LEFT A REMNANT FROM THEE AND THY MEN, BUT ON ACCOUNT OF JACOB OF WHOM THOU SPEAKEST BEING THY BROTHER, WE WILL NOT MEDDLE WITH THEE OR THY MEN. And the third camp also passed from them, and he still continued his road with his men toward Jacob, when the fourth camp came toward him, and they also did unto him and his men as the others had done. And when Esau beheld the evil which the four angels had done to him and to his men, he became greatly afraid of his brother Jacob, and he went to meet him in peace. And ESAU CONCEALED HIS HATRED AGAINST JACOB, BECAUSE HE WAS AFRAID OF HIS LIFE ON ACCOUNT OF HIS BROTHER JACOB, AND BECAUSE HE IMAGINED THAT THE FOUR CAMPS THAT HE HAD LIGHTED UPON WERE JACOB�S SERVANTS.� (Jasher 32:1-9, 28-40)
After a short visit and after giving generous gift of much live stock to Esau, Jacob said he had to be on his way as he was a very busy man. So the two departed and Yahweh gave the victory. Some time later Yahweh appeared again to Jacob and �said unto him, Thy name is Jacob; thy name shall not be called any more Jacob, but Israel shall be thy name; and He called his name Israel. And God said unto him, I am God Almighty; be fruitful and multiply; A NATION AND A COMPANY OF NATIONS SHALL BE OF THEE, and kings shall come out of thy loins.� (Genesis 35:10-11)
Shortly after this as Rachel, Jacob�s beloved wife, was journeying with Jacob to Ephrath from Bethel, she began to travail in hard labor. The midwife said se shall bare thee a son also. But alas, Rachel died at chldbirth, she lived long enough to call his name Benoni, but his father called him Benjamin (son of sorrow). Please remember that BENJAMIN WAS THE ONLY ONE OF JACOB�S SONS THAT WAS BORN A TRUE ISRAELITE. HE WAS BORN AFTER JACOB�S NAME AND NATURE WAS CHANGED TO ISRAEL.
So the genes of Abraham in Benjamin�s seed were again altered to bare more fruit for Yahweh. Since Benjamin was born a True Israelite, it was to him and the offspring of Ephraim and Manasseh who were to be adopted later by Israel as Israelites. (Genesis 48:15-22) It was to these to whom the promises were made. Listen to Paul in Romans 8 and 9, �for whom He did foreknow.� (He foreknew Benjamin in the genes of Abraham), �He also did predestinate to be conformed to the image of His Son that He might be the first born among many brethren.� �Who are ISRAELITES OF WHOM PERTAINETH THE ADOPTION, AND THE GLORY, AND THE COVENANTS, AND THE GIVING OF THE LAW, AND THE SERVICE OF GOD, AND THE PROMISES.� �FOR THEY ARE NOT ALL ISRAEL WHO ARE OF ISRAEL. (Romans 8:29; 9:4-6)
Therefore, we know that Benjamin was to be a special choice seed unto Yahweh and why he was chosen to be the light bearer, because he was born a True Israelite. The other eleven sons of Jacob were called the House or Children of Israel because their father�s name was Israel but they were not born Israelites, they were Jacobites. When the Kingdom of Israel was dividend into two separate Houses after the reign of Solomon; Yahweh promised David that he, David, would always have Light before his steps so he chose to give to David the Tribe of Benjamin. The House of David continued to rule over the Judah Kingdom comprising Judah, the � tribe of Levi and the Tribe of Benjamin. (1 Kings 1:36; 12:210-23)
The Ten Northern Tribes later went into Assyrian captivity and were dispersed among the nations. They were divorced from marriage with Yahweh and were no long called Yahweh�s people. (Hosea 1:1-11) However, a strange thing happened just a little later, the Assyrian King that carried the Ten Tribes into Assyrian captivity also came down against the Judah Kingdom and besieged 48 cities of Judah and finally carried them also into captivity with the Ten Tribes (2 Kings 18:13), so that in reality, only the �inhabitants of Jerusalem� were left for David to reign over, which consisted of Levites, Benjamintes and Judahites, and many remnant of many of the Canaanite Tribes.
About 125 years later, the Judah Kingdom or the �Inhabitants of Jerusalem� became more wicked than what the Ten Tribes had ever been. So Yahweh had the Babylonian King come down and destroy the city and temple and carry the �Inhabitants of Jerusalem� into the Babylonian captivity. (2 Kings 24:12-16) Yahweh had to punish Judah for her adulteries but he did not divorce her, for Yahweh needed her to go back and rebuild Jerusalem and the Temple at the appointed time for the receiving of the Messiah. (Daniel 9:24-27)
The prophets Jeremiah and Daniel prophesied that after 70 years in Babylonian captivity Yahweh would again call the �Inhabitants of Jerusalem� back into the Holy Land to rebuild the city of Jerusalem and the Temple. He would give them a prophetic 70 weeks or in reality 490 years to accomplish the rebuilding program.
Another strange thing happened about four years after the Babylonian King destroyed Jerusalem and the Temple; this same Babylonian King raided and desolated Land of Edom in Mt. Seir in 582 B.C., and permitted the Nabathaeans to take control over the land of Edom. The Edomites who did escape after the hostile takeover were forced to flee to a region just south of Judea where they continued to exist for the next 400 years.
Their hostile nature caused them to continually harass and plague the Israelites in their building program of Jerusalem and the Temple. Therefore, John Hyrcanus, one of the Maccabean Rulers, arose to reign over the state, turning it into a Jewish state and wanted to show his power. So he created a mercenary army and began to flex his military muscles. He brought the marauding Samaritans under subjection and destroyed their temple. Then he attacked the Edomites, Israel�s age old enemy, and completely subjected them.
At sword�s point, he gave them an ultimatum, conversion to Judaism or die, and of course the whole race of Esau was absorbed into Judaism. Historians say that the Edomites disappeared from history at this time but in reality these clever and deceptive Edomites just assumed a new identity and moved into a place where they really could be in a position to destroy many of the Israelites. . The Jewish Encyclopedia (1925 Edition, vol. 5, page 41) states, �Edom is in modern Jewry.� Also the information recorded above was taken from A HISTORY OF THE JEWS, BY Sachar, pages `105-113.
No to really understand what Christ meant when He said to the scribes and Pharisees, �Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye compass sea and land TO MAKE ONE PROSELYTE (convert), and when he is made, YE MAKE HIM TWOFOLD MORE THE CHILD OF HELL THAN YOURSELVES.� (Matthew 23:15)
The Edomites lost no time in getting into positions of influence and control now that they were in Jewry. In 63 B.C., when Rome came down and conquered Palestine at the request of the Jews; Herod, an Edomite (for Edomites were at this time being called Idumeans instead of Edomites) went to Rome to see the Roman authorities and came back as King of the Jews over Palestine. Herod was king over Palestine for Rome when Yahshua came on the scene.
By the time �And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel.� (Mark 1:15), the Edomites were pretty much in control of all Jewry. Yahshua recognized them and said, �The scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites, sit in Moses� seat.� (Matthew 23:2) They sit in seats of authority and control. Jude, a Christian and servant of Yahshua (Jude 1-4) said, �For there are certain men CREPT IN UNAWARES, so were before of old ORDAINED TO THIS CONDEMNATION, (Esau and his seed were right on target, Romans 9:11-21) ungodly men, turning the grace of our God into lasciviousness and denying the only Lord God and our Lord Jesus Christ.�
Jude says much more about these evil ones, read verses 10-13 Jude 10‑13
�But these speak evil of those things which they know not: but what they know naturally, as brute beasts, in those things they corrupt themselves. Woe unto them! for they have gone in the way of Cain, and ran greedily after the error of Balaam for reward, and perished in the gainsaying of Core. These are spots in your feasts of charity, when they feast with you, feeding themselves without fear: clouds they are without water, carried about of winds; trees whose fruit withereth, without fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; Raging waves of the sea, foaming out their own shame; wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever.� (Jude 10-13), listen to what Yahshua said unto them, �Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do.� (John 8:44) You can easily see they certainly weren�t sheep, as Yahshua said, �But ye believe not, because ye are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.� (John 10:26)
But who were His sheep and where were they? You guessed it! They were the Benjamintes, they were born true Israel and Yahweh put a calling into them to recognize the Messiah when He came. The Benjamintes kept pretty much to themselves and settled up north of Jerusalem in Capernaum and Galilee. When Yahshua came preaching, they heard Him gladly. Why? They were the sheep of His fold and Jesus said, �My sheep hear my voice!�� (John 10:27)
