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?
