Edom - Part 7
Deuteronomy 23:7-8: "Thou shalt not abhor an Edomite; for he is
thy brother: thou shalt not abhor an Egyptian; because thou wast a stranger
in his land. The children that are begotten of them shall enter into the
congregation of the LORD in their third generation."

Now I have not done a complete study on this, but these few verses
show that there are some people in the world that cannot be saved; and
cannot ever enter into the Congregation of the Lord.
The Kingdom of Judah was permanently broken. Judah was, for a
time, "the Lord's Sanctuary," but Israel was His Dominion (Psalm 114:2)
Moses told the Children of Israel: "For thou art an holy (set
apart) people unto the Lord thy God: the Lord thy God hath chosen thee
to be a special people unto himself, above all the people that are upon
the face of the earth." (Deuteronomy 7:6)
Israel's unique relationship with the Almighty and the great commission
as His servant people, to be a light to the Gentiles, is the underlying
theme of the Bible Message. Why, then, is so-called "Christian Orthodoxy"
so unprepared to accept the true Scriptural identification of these chosen
people, even when the evidence proves them to be other than the Jews?
The ultimate irony of the Jewish masquerade as the Lord's chosen
people lies hidden in the little-known fact that today, as in centuries
past, many who claim the appellation "Israel" are, in truth, the descendants
of Esau, Israel's archenemies throughout history. There is Edom [Esau is
called Edom in Genesis 36:8]. And Edom is in 'Modern Jewry' Jewish Encyclopedia,
1925 edition, Vol. 5, p. 41.
"Jewish Nationalism, Part II: the Esau-Edom-Idumean Connection"
will shed more light on the background of the murkey genesis of World Jewry.
Judaism does have prophetic role to play, but not as Israel returning
to the Promised Land, nor in fulfillment of the Zionist delusions of a
Messianic Overlordship.
The Esau - Edom - Idumean Connection: No more subtle deception
was ever perpetrated by "the father of lies" than Christendom's acceptance
of the counterfeit "Israeli" state in Palestine. Christian theologians
and evangelists have given credibility to the specious claim that the enemies
of our Lord and His Kingdom are the chosen people rather than the Anglo-Saxon,
Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic, Nordic, Slavic and kindred people who are
the true House of Israel in the world today! The ultimate irony inherent
in the Jews' spurious claim to be the descendants of Jacob/Israel is the
act that a mainstream of World Jewry is actually the progeny of Esau.
The posterity of Esau is very much in the world today and now,
as in the beginning (Genesis 27:41), his descendants hate the true inheritors
of the Covenant Promises. (Verified by the story of the husbandmen in Matthew
21:34; Mark 12:6).
The conflict, being summarized here, between two antagonistic
people is a very ancient one. Its genesis was in the Garden when the Lord
God said to the serpent, "I will put enmity between you and the woman,
and between your posterity and hers." (Genesis 3:16, The Bible an American
Translation)
The Lord God provided the witness of the sun, moon and stars as
His pledge that the seed of Israel would remain a nation before Him forever.
(Jeremiah 31:35) But an Adversary has sought to destroy the nation from
its very inception.
The enmity of the "seed of the serpent" toward the "seed of the
woman" has been manifest in a satanic conspiracy against her descendants.
As has been summarized previously, the continuity of the seed
of the woman has been preserve in the children of Abraham through Isaac
and his son, Jacob, whose name was changed to Israel. From the beginning,
the descendants of Jacob/Israel have been, and still are, the target of
a satanic conspiracy to invalidate the Lord god's purpose in them.
With the birth of Esau and Jacob (Genesis 25:22-23), hated his
brother Jacob (Genesis 27:41), despised his birthright (Genesis 25:34)
and took foreign wives in violation of God's command, "thou shalt not take
a wife...of the daughters of the Canaanites." (Genesis 24:37) The hybrid
offspring of these unions provided an historical continuity for the alien,
subversive seed in which was at enmity with the seed of the woman.
The magnitude of this enmity is indicated by the Prophet Malachi's
report of the word of the Lord to Israel: "I have loved you, saith the
Lord. Yet ye say, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was not Esau Jacob's brother?
Saith the Lord: Yet I loved Jacob, And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains
and his heritage waste...Whereas Edom saith, We are impoverished, but we
will return and build the desolate places; thus saith the Lord of hosts.
They shall build, but I will throw down; and they shall call them, the
border (territory) of wickedness, and, The people against whom the Lord
hath indignation for ever." (Malachi 1:2-4)
The Great Conspiracy
The agelong sanguinary struggle between these "two nations," these
"two manner of people," is a recurrent theme of the Bible history. Asaph,
a prominent poet and musician who was appointed by David to preside over
the sacred choral services in Israel, petitioned the Lord to cause His
enemies who conspired against his people to be put to shame and death:
"Keep not thou silence, O God, hold not thy peace, and be not still, O
God. For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have
lifted up the head. They have taken crafty counsel against thy people (The
Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion), and consulted against thy hidden
ones. They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation;
that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance." (Psalm 83:14)
The nature of this conspiracy is somewhat obscured by the English
translation: "Come and let us cut them off from being a nation." Consider
the phrase "cut them off." The word "cut" is from the Hebrew KAW KHAD;
KACHAD, which means "to secrete by word or act; to conceal, to hide or
make desolate."
Edom - Part 8
The conspiracy's first objective then was to conceal or hide the
nation, not only from the eyes of the world but from the nation itself,
"that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance." The first reference
to the identity of the serpent seed line is given in Genesis 4:16: "And
Cain went out from the presence of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod,
on the east of Eden." Here, among a non-Adamic, pre-Adamic people, Cain
became the progenitor of a hybrid posterity who became the enemies of the
Lord's Kingdom people.
"Sargon the Magnificent" (Sargon the Magnificent, Mrs. Sydney
Bristowe, The Covenant Publishing Co., Ltd., London, England) gives secular
evidence that Cain founded a prehistoric city or civilization. In the 23rd
chapter of Matthew, Jesus identifies His enemies as being of this serpent
seed line which He traces back to Cain.
These alien interlopers were a subversive influence within the
Lord's Kingdom from its inception. When the northern ten tribes of Israel
asked Rehoboam to ease the tax burden which his father, Solomon, had imposed
on them, he rejected the counsel of "the old men," i.e., the elder statesmen,
and sought instead the advice of the young men that were brought up with
him.
Most students interpret this passage to mean simply that Rehoboam
turned to the men of his own age. But the Hebrew term translated "brought
up" is gadal which Mr. Strong defines: "In a causative sense, to make large
(in various senses, as to body, mind, estate or honor, also in pride)."
It can be concluded that King Rehoboam sought the advice of the Shelanite-Jebusite
faction which had been made large in the King's service.
These Shelanite-Jebusite advisers persuaded King Rehoboam to ignore
the pleas of the people and urged him to tax and spend to promote the glory
of the Kingdom and enhance his own prestige and power, were upon the House
of Israel rebelled against the Throne of David and established the Kingdom
of Israel as an independent nation.
Thus, the interlopers or the "houses of Achzib" (Shelah) succeeded
in dividing the Lord's Kingdom people and weakened the Royal House which
they envied and hated. Corrupted from within by the Shelanite subverters
who had become "pricks in their eyes, and thorns in their sides," neither
the northern Kingdom of Israel nor the southern Kingdom of Judah could
withstand the assaults of the Assyrians. In the 8th century B.C., the Assyrians
conquered the northern Kingdom of Israel and, in a series of raids, they
carried the people into captivity in the land of the Medes.
King Sennacherib captured the 46 strongholds (fenced cities) of
Judah about the same time (721 B.C.) He took part of the Kingdom of Israel
into Assyria. These captives of Judah were taken in the same northerly
direction where Tiglath-ileser had taken their kinsmen-the tribes of Manasseh,
Reuben, and Gad in 745 B.C. These all became part of the great migration
to the appointed place, north and west of Palestine.
Only "the inhabitants of Jerusalem," a minor fraction of the Kingdom
of Judah, escaped the Assyrian conquests. About 130 years later, Jerusalem
fell to the Babylonians under Nebuchadnezzar and the inhabitants were taken
to Babylon. "The name of Israel may be no longer in remembrance" had become
an historical reality.
On a six-sided baked clay prism, now in the British Museum, is
the Assyrian King Sennacherib's record of the eight campaigns against Israel
which began in 703 B.C., and ended in 689 B.C. The inscription refers to
the captured peoples, not by their name "Israel," but Beth Omri or "House
of Omri."
That the children of Israel would no longer be known as "Israel,"
but be called Beth Omri after the name of their King, was a stroke of Divine
judgment. Deuteronomy 18:38 cites national blindness would inexorably follow
their repudiation of the Law of the Lord when they substituted the statutes
of Omri.
The national amnesia that blinded Israel to here own identity
could at no time apply to the Jews. They have never ceased to identify
themselves as Jews, nor has the world ever been allowed to lose sight of
them. Moreover, the Jews have not only convinced the world that they are
"of Judah," they have largely succeeded in expanding their claim to represent
all of Israel.
Careless over-simplification by many theologians and laymen has
contributed to the grossly mistaken assumption that the whole House of
Judah was taken to Babylon, and, after 70 years in captivity, returned,
intact, to Jerusalem. They allow that the northern Kingdom of Israel was
taken captive to the north by the Assyrians where the ten tribes are conveniently
"lost" somewhere in the steppes of southeastern Europe. But facts are stubborn
things. Histories, both biblical and secular, record what actually happened.
The main body of the southern Kingdom of Judah, as well as the northern
Kingdom of Israel, was taken by the Assyrians into the land of the Medes
by the Caspian Sea. These Judaites were taken by the Assyrian King Sennacherib
in the same northerly direction where Tiglath-pilaster had taken their
kinsmen; the tribes of Manasseh, Reuben and Gad in 745 B.C. These all became
part of the great migration to "the appointed place" north and west of
Palestine.
Only the inhabitants of Jerusalem, a very small minority of the
southern Kingdom of Judah, escaped the Assyrian conquests.
About 130 years later, Jerusalem was captured by the Babylonians
under Nebuchadnezzar. After 70 years in Babylon, a small remnant, together
with some of the tribe of Benjamin and the royal descendants of David,
as well as a few of the tribe of Levi, returned to Jerusalem.
After their return from Babylon, certain ones of the House of
Judah and some of the priests intermarried with the inhabitants of the
land and these intermarriages were severely condemned by Ezra and Nehemiah.
(Ezra 9 and 10; Nehemiah 13:23-29)
While there were other race admixtures, these forbidden marriages
were mainly with Hittites of the former Canaanite Empire. In time, this
merging of Judaites with Hittites became one of the racial types called
"Jews." To begin to grasp the complex heterogeneity of World Jewry, it
is essential to keep in mind that the inhabitants of Jerusalem were a composite
of antagonistic groups, "the good figs" of Judah and "the evil fig" Shelanite-Canaanite
pseudo-Judaites. When Nebuchadnezzar carried "the good fig" Judaites with
Jeconiah and the princes of Judah to Babylon (Jeremiah 24:1), "the evil
fig" residue of Jerusalem was left under Zedekiah who reigned in Jerusalem
for eleven years as Nebuchadnezzar's puppet king.
Edom - Part 9
The Jews' masquerade as the Lord's chosen people is undoubtedly
the greatest hoax in history; only the so-called HoloHoax of World War
II is even close to it. This is the basis of the anti-God conspiracy of
which Asaph spoke. The plan began to evolve among the Jews in Babylon who,
as the historian H.G. Wells wrote, found "the idea of belonging to a chosen
race predestined to preeminence was a very attractive one." If they could
foist themselves off on the world as Israel, their grandiose ambitions
for world dominion would be greatly enhanced. They began to claim Abraham
for their father, and thrust their company upon the remnant of the true
Judaites in Babylon.
When the remnant of the Kingdom of Judah was taken to Babylon,
many of the Edomite, Amalekite, Canaanite peoples who were already in Babylon
became proselytes to Judaism. These proselytes adopted the name of the
Diaspora or "Dispersion of the Jews" but they were neither of Judaite nor
Israelite ancestry.
The true Judaites, like their Israelite kinsmen, who were taken
northward in the Assyrian captivities were never known as "Jews," nor had
they been called "Jews" while in Palestine. Most certainly their captors
never took them south to Babylon, nor did they ever migrate to Babylon
to join the jews, nor ever became any part of the Jewish Diaspora. As Wells
wrote, "The main part of Jewry was never in Judea (Palestine)."
In his "Study of Esau-Edom in Jewry," C.F. Parker of London explained
how the pseudo-Judaites brought in addition al Esau-Edomites and Ishmaelites
to help them gain control. So great was the number and influence of these
interlopers that, during our Lord's ministry, He found them "sitting in
Moses' seat," i.e., in complete control of the Jewish Nanton, albeit it
was subject to Rome.
However, these Shelanite-Jebusite Canaanites who returned to Jerusalem
with the remnant of real Judaites from Babylon, and who took over and corrupted
the nation of the Jews, were but a small part of the Babylonian conspirators
who had palmed themselves off as the Diaspora or "Dispersion of the Jews."
Sir Leon Levinson in his book, "The Jews of History," wrote: "Many
of them found life in Babylon, upon the whole, congenial. They intermarried
with foreigners, had built up good businesses, and had no liking for the
hardships of a return journey on the score of mere sentiment. They were
at ease in Babylon."
Babylon became the real headquarters of Judaism. "So mild, especially
during the later years, was the treatment which they received in the Babylonian
Empire, that when liberty was announced to the whole body of captives,
only the lowest of the low returned together with the Levites and the Priests."
(Talmud, Kidd. IV. I)
It was the "evil fig" Shelanite-Canaanite "residue of Jerusalem"
(Jeremiah 24:8) which has contrived to usurp Israel's inheritance to the
Promised Land. The Prophet Ezekiel records the conspiracy: "Again the word
of the Lord came unto me, saying, Son of man, thy brethren...the men of
thy kindred, and all the house of Israel wholly, are they unto whom the
inhabitants of Jerusalem, have said, Get you far from the Lord: unto us
is this land given in Possession." (Ezekiel 11:14-15)
This spurious claim by the Shelanite-Jebusites of Ezekiel's day
has far-reaching implications for the present in the Israelis' militant
aggression against the Palestinians. The Zionist/Jews can never fulfill
the role of the children of Israel returning to the land of their inheritance
but they do have prophetic role to play in "the day of the Lord's vengeance...the
controversy of Zion." (Isaiah 34:1-8)
Attention has already been drawn to Asaph's petition to the Lord
concerning those who said: "Come, and let us cut them off from being a
nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance. For they
have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against
thee." (Psalm 83:4-5)
First to be named by the Psalmist in his indictment of God's enemies
were The Tabernacles of Edom who said "Let us take to ourselves the houses
of God in possession." (Psalm 83:6, 12)
Also named among the anti-God conspirators was Amalek the grandson
of Esau. In the Book of Numbers 24:20, the marginal rendition reads: "Amalek
was the first of the nations to war against Israel. And it is recorded
in the 17th chapter of Exodus: shortly after the children of Israel left
Egypt, the Amalekites attacked them at Rephidim. When Joshua led the Israelites
to victory, the Lord said unto Moses, Write this for a memorial in a book,
and rehearse it in the ears of Joshua; for I will utterly put out the remembrance
of Amalek from under heaven.'"
The sons of Amalek, it should be kept in mind, were the leaders
of the Edomites who dwelt in Seir.(Genesis 36:1-9) Another significant
link in the conspiracy, the Edomite-Idumean connection, becomes readily,
apparent in the Lord's instructions to the Prophet Ezekiel: "Set thy face
against mount Seir (Edom), and prophesy against it...Thus saith the Lord
God; I am against thee...and I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt
be desolate...Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the
blood of the children of Israel... I have heard all thy blasphemies which
thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel...thou shalt be desolate,
O mount Seir, and all Idumea." (Ezekiel 35)
"Thus saith the Lord God; Because the enemy hath said against
you, Aha, even the ancient high places are ours in possession...Therefore
thus saith the Lord God; surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken
against the residue of the heathen, and against all Idumea, which have
appointed my land into their possession." (Ezekiel 36:2, 5)
In the agelong Esau-Idumean conspiracy to displace the seed of
Jacob in order to seize Israel's inheritance, the most heinous act was
the Idumean Herod's plot to murder the Christ-child. His motive was to
make certain that no legitimate seed of Israel should arise to claim the
Kingship from him. (Matthew 2:16)
When Christs' ministry was about to end, He left the safe environs
of Galilee to confront the Jews in Jerusalem. He knew the identity of those
who still sought to kill Him and usurp His Kingship as the Son of David.
To those who believed on Him, He said: "If ye continue in my word, then
are ye my disciples indeed; And ye shall know the truth, and the truth
shall make you free." Here His enemies raised the issue: "We be Abraham's
seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be
made free?" (John 8:31-33) but this was a tact admission that, although
they co9uld claim descent from Abraham, they were not of the seed of Promise
through Isaac and Jacob/Israel who had been in bondage in Egypt. Jesus
knew they were the descendants of Esau.
Edom - Part 10
When Jesus said, "the scribes and Pharisees sit in Moses' seat,"
He meant they had taken control of the government. He characterized them
as hypocrites: "Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For ye
compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make
him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves." (Matthew 23:15)
Jesus identified them by their own admission: "If we had been
in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them
in the blood of the prophets. Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves...Fill
ye up then the measure of your fathers. Ye serpents, ye generation (offspring)
of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell? Wherefore, behold,
I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and some of them ye
shall kill and crucify; and some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues,
and persecute them from city to city: That upon you may come all the righteous
blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood
of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the
altar." (Matthew 23:30-35)
In His parable of the Nobleman Jesus indicated those who would
deny Him the Kingdom: "His citizens hated him, and sent a message after
him, saying We will not have this man to reign over us."
To them, He rendered a final verdict: "But those mine enemies,
which should not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay
them before me." (Luke 19:11-27)
The finality of the Lord's judgment upon the Esau-Edom-Idumean
confederacy was seen in the vision of the Prophet Obadiah: "Thus saith
the Lord God concerning Edom...Behold, I have made thee small among the
heathen: thou art greatly despised. The pride of thine heart hath deceived
thee...that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among
the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the Lord...How are the
things of Esau searched out! How are his hidden things sought up! All the
men of thy confederacy...that were at peace with thee have deceived thee,
and prevailed against thee...Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even
destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of
Esau? And thy mighty men, O teman, shall be dismayed to the end that every
one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. For thy violence
against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut
off for ever." (Obadiah 1:1-10)
The key to the timing of this judgment is given in the prophet's
next words: "For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen (nations):
as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return
upon thine own head...But upon mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there
shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.
And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame,
and the house of Esau for stubble...and there shall not be any remaining
of the house of Esau; for the Lord hath spoken it...And saviours shall
come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall
be the Lord's." (Obadiah 1:15-21)
The extent of the enmity of the posterity of Esau toward the House
of Jacob is almost beyond comprehension. A measure of its historic consequences
is given in the Lord's answer to the Prophet Esdras' question: "What shall
be the parting asunder of the times? Or when shall be the end of the first,
and the beginning of it that followeth? And he said unto me, From Abraham
unto Isaac, when Jacob and Esau were born of him, Jacob's hand held first
the heel of Esau. For Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning
of it that followeth." (2 Esdras 6:7-9)
The judgment attendant to the end of this world (order, system
or cosmos) is epitomized by the word of the Lord to Isaiah: "For my sword...shall
come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment." (Isaiah
34:5) And he speaks of a great slaughter in the land of Idumea: "For it
is the day of the Lord's vengeance, and the year of recompenses for the
controversy of Zion." (Isaiah 34: 6-8)
The Prophet Ezekiel points to the day beginning what follows;
when all nations will know that the Lord God is the Holy One in Israel
(Ezekiel 39:7): "And I will set my glory among the heathen, and all the
heathen shall see my judgment that I have executed, and my hand that I
have laid upon them. So the house of Israel shall know that I am the Lord
their God from that day and forward." (Ezekiel 39:21-22)
The many diverse peoples who call themselves Jews lay claim to
all the Covenant Promises God made with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob/Israel,
albeit the writings of well-known Jewish scholars (Arthur Koestler, The
Thirteenth Tribe, Random House, New York, N.Y.; Alfred M. Linenthal, What
Price Israel, Henry Ragnery Company, Chicago, Ill; Dr. I.M. Rabinowich
and Benjamin Freedman, Palestine: Center of World Intrigue,, pp. 12-13,
Destiny Publishers, Merrimac, Mass. 01860) reveal that they are not descended
from Judah, much less the whole House of Israel. In fact, evidence from
historical sources is overwhelming that the Jews are not a distinct racial
group.
Professor Lathrop Stoddard wrote in "The Pedigree of Judah," Forum,
March 1926, a concise summary of the ethnic background of the Jews in the
world today. "Investigations of contemporary Jewry have brought out one
striking fact," he wrote, "the presence of two sharply contrasted types
within the Jewish fold." The physiognomy of the Jews of Eastern Europe
and the Jews of the Mediterranean basin and adjacent Afro-Asiatic areas
differ markedly from one another.
These analyses confirm a division which the Jews themselves have
long made" Prof. Stoddard emphasized. "For more than a thousand years,
Jews have clearly recognized two distinct physical types, called by them,
the Ashkenazim or Jews of Eastern Europe, and the Sephardim or Jews of
the Mediterranean and adjacent regions.
In the eighth century A.D., Mesopotamia, Persia, and the Armenian-Caucasian
area still contained the bulk of the world's Jewish population. By the
end of the tenth century, these lands were almost emptied of Jews. Lured
to the Khazaria as to the Promised Land, Jewry pushed northward from Asia
into southeastern Europe-swarming in by the hundred thousand, by sea, by
river, and by mountain trail. And during those two centuries was forged
the Ashkenazic stock of today. This migration involved sweeping racial
changes. In the first place, Jewry's slow progress through the Arminian
and Caucasian highland implied a further admixture and strengthening of
the Armenoid at the expense of the Semitic element. Then, once in Khazaria,
the extensive inter-marriage with the converted Khazars resulted in a further
influx of Turkish and Mongoloid blood. The result was a population prevailingly
Armenoid and Mongoloid. The Semitic type must have entirely disappeared,"
Prof. Stoddard concludes. "Such, in brief, is the complex pedigree of Judah.
It effectively disposes of the fiction that the modern Jew is the true
scion of the ancient Hebrew."
Edom - Part 11
Today, there are many non-Israelite, non-Judaite infiltrations
in World Jewry other than Ashkenazim (Khazars) of Eastern Europe and the
Sephardim of the Mediterranean basin. Among them are black Jews of Malabar
and Ethiopia and the Mongoloid Jews of China. But most important of these
infiltrations must be the intrusion of the Esau-Idumean line which survives
and persists, absorbed in that "remnant of Judah" known as Jews. This latter
fact is disclosed by the Encyclopedia Biblica, and is acknowledged by the
Jewish Encyclopedia.
As David Davidson says in "Palestine: Esau Claims Possession"
(Destiny Magazine for May 1948, p. 155. Destiny Publishers, Merrimac, Mass.,
01860): "The race of Esau were the Edomites, of Old Testament history,
and included the marauding Sinaitic tribe of Amalek. The dominant physiognomy
and aggressively intrusive characteristics of the race were derived from
the native stock of North Syria through the Hittite' wives of Esau, and
by subsequent intermarriage between the Edomites and Hittites.' After
the Edomites (or Idumeans) were absorbed into the remnant of Judah, after
130 B.C., but mainly in the dispersion following the destruction of Jerusalem
in 70 A.D., the Edomite-Hittite physiognomy eventually emerged as the European
Jewish type; falsely called Semitic'...Herod the Great was an Edomite
and became the first King of the Jess.' As such he sought to destroy our
Lord at birth. At that time the Idumeans had been comprised in the Jewish
state and had been Jews in religion for over a century. They dominated
the whole of Jewish life and our Lord, in revealing the nature of the Herodian
or Idumean domination, refers to the leaven of Herod' as the antithesis
of the leaven of the Kingdom of God'...In the Revelation of Jesus Christ
(Revelation 1:1) the effect of the intrusion is referred to as the blasphemy
of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of
Satan.' (Revelation 2:9; 3:9)
Behind the mask of Idumean physiognomy, neither Jew nor Christian
can discern what is true and what is false in Jewry, except by their works...Josephus,
in describing the conditions internal to the Roman siege of Jerusalem,
reveals how the race of Esau (as the Idumeans) were mainly instrumental
in inflaming the hatreds of the three internal factions of disintegration."
C.R. Dickey in "A Backward Look" comments on "this contradictory
element in Jewish history which is so confusing to Christians." The author
quotes from an article by C.F. Parker who refers to modern Idumean Hittites
who claim to be the seed of Israel: "It is remarkable that pogroms against
the Jews have constituted seeming contradictions. If the first Jesuits
were Jews, as indicated, why should they persecute their own people? If,
however, they were Edomites, masquerading as Jews, their desire to eliminate
Judah is easily understood.
Central Europe has long been a source of contradictory elements
in Jewry and this can only be explained through a duality within that people:
the false seeking to destroy that cherished by the other. Communism, the
product of Marx and allied teachings promulgated and supported by numbers
of Jews, are odious to the orthodox, pious religious element of Jewry...The
two elements are quite incompatible."
While this was a fair assessment of the disparity within Jewry
then (in 1948), today an accommodation of sorts has come about. Now, even
the most arrogant atheists among the Zionists who presently dominate Judaism
use the pious pretension that the Jews are God's chosen people as the main
thrust of their militant aggression in Palestine. On this wholly false
propaganda level, all the diverse factions in World Jewry; under Zionist
pressure, share a broad unanimity of purpose.

"And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came out of Padan-aram,
and blessed him. And God 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; And the land which I gave Abraham and Isaac,
to thee I will give it, and to thy seed after thee will I give the land."
(Genesis 35:9-12)
"The Archbishop of New (Dr. C.F. Garbett), who visited Palestine
in 1946, comments on the situation there, and on the report of the Anglo-American
Committee of Enquiry, in the June issue of the York Diocesan Leaflet.
I am sure,' he says, that the Committee is right in rejecting
the exclusive claims of the Jews and Arabs to Palestine, and in looking
forward to the time when it shall become a State which guards the rights
and interests of Moslems, Jews and Christians alike. Fir it must never
be forgotten that Palestine is the Holy Land of the Christian as well as
of the Jew and Moslem. Christendom would be deeply stirred if its sacred
places were transferred to either.
No pledge was ever given by the British Government that Palestine
should be handed over to the Jews. The pledge of the Balfour Declaration
was that within it there should be established a National Home for the
Jewish people without prejudice to the civil and religious rights of existing
non-Jewish communities. This promise has been faithfully observed.
Palestine today is the home of over 600,000 Jews...Without the
good will and the active protection of the British Government, it would
have been impossible for the Jews to have made this home...When I visited
our Forces in Palestine last March, the country was like an armed camp
in which everyone was incessantly on the alert. By unscrupulous and violent
propaganda many of the Jews, especially the younger men and women, have
been worked up to such a condition of hysterical fanaticism that they have
been brought to believe that Great Britain was responsible for the awful
sufferings of their people in Europe.
Alienating Sympathy
The Stern gang, with a membership of three to four hundred, is
committed to murder and terrorism. The Jewish Agency, the recognized organization
of the Jews, has an army of 60,000, and while formally dissociating itself
from acts of violence, refuses to cooperate in preventing them or bringing
their perpetrators to justice.
Our soldiers are thus living under conditions of great tension.
They frequently hear of their comrades attacked or murdered by Jews disguised
in British uniforms and armed with British weapons, and the sympathy which
they first feel towards the Jews is changing into hostility, which in time
will communicate itself to their friends at home.
There is a serious danger that the violence of Jewish propaganda,
combined with the murder of our soldiers, will encourage a deplorable growth
of anti-Semitism in our midst. We must make it plain to those who are representing
us in Palestine, and who are acting with complete fairness and impartiality,
that they have behind them the support of his government and the people
of this land in suppressing violence from whatever source it may come,
and in restoring peace and order to a land sacred to three great religions.'"

"And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of
heaven suffereth violence, and the violent take it by force." (Matthew
11:12)
The Cosmic Drama of Jacob and Esau
In the world-travail of history were born, fighting in the womb,
the twin brethren of destiny, Jacob and Esau. In "the womb of the second
birth," again they fought during the life of our Lord and through the birth-pangs
of Christendom. The end of the age of the travail of mundane creation finds
them fighting still, their origin forgotten; racially unknown one to the
other. Fiercely clinging to Jacob, for financial security, Esau is being
dragged through chaos to deliverance, known, partly, as the Jews - the
others are Khazars, unto Palestine for their total destruction. "But those
mine enemies, which would not that I should reign over them, bring hither,
and slay them before me." (Luke 19:27) "For," as it is written in 2 Esdras
6:9, "Esau is the end of the world, and Jacob is the beginning of it that
followeth;" when Jacob, the Anglo-Saxon, Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic,
and kindred people become known as Israel (ruling with God). It is strangely
persistent and an obviously "Cosmic" allegory which has thus been lived
in history and which is now being brought to a climatic conclusion. For
the destiny of Jacob to be fulfilled in the world of materialism, the destiny
of Esau had, perforce, to be. Once this fact of history's purpose is understood
the bases of ignorant hatred and strife are uprooted.
Esau, having sold his birthright to meet a temporal, material
need, the people of Esau (they cannot be called a race because Esau married
in the Canaanite people) has spent all history in striving to acquire the
material gifts of the lost inheritance. Jacob, having had in mind the gifts
that were promised him by God, seized the material gifts by stealth, acquired
them by subtlety, and retained them by adopting a policy of compromise
to every threatening circumstance. The race of Jacob (The Anglo-Saxon,
Germanic, Scandinavian, Celtic and kindred people, The White Race) in following
the methods of the father of the race, is now, near the end of the age,
losing all that has been thus vainly won, in order that the race may gain
all by the way of God's promise: "Seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and
His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you." (Matthew
6:33) The last act of this age-long drama is to witness Esau (and Khazars)
standing by, as the self-appointed official receiver to the bankrupt race
of Jacob, receiving all of old-worldly value to find it of no account in
the new world then about to begin. "And they shall go into the holes of
the rocks, and into the caves of the earth, for fear of the LORD, and for
the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
In that day a man shall cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold,
which they made each one for himself to worship, to the moles and to the
bats." (Isaiah 2:19-20)
The people of Jacob exists today in the English-speaking peoples.
Today, the people of Esau have mixed with the Khazars of Russia and survives
and persists, absorbed in that remnant of the Israelitish tribe of Judah
known which are falsely called; The Jews. The latter fact of history
is disclosed by the "Encyclopedia Biblica, and is acknowledged by the Jewish
Encyclopedia (Jewish Encyclopedia, 1925 Edition, Article Edom, Vol. V.
p. 41) the essential facts of the history are given in chaos to Cosmic
Christ."
The people of Esau were the Edomites of Old Testament history
and the Idumeans of the New Testament times, and included the marauding
Sinaitic tribe of Amalek. The dominant physiognomy and aggressively intrusive
characteristics of the people were derived from the native stock of North
Syria through this "Hittite" wives of Esau, and by subsequent intermarriage
between the Edomites and "Hittites." After the Edomites (or Idumeans) were
absorbed into the remnant of Judah, after 130 B.C., but mainly in the dispersion
following the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70 and later in A.D. 135,
the Edom-"Hittite" physiognomy eventually emerged as the European Jewish
type of physiognomy; falsely called "Semitic." this fact is recognized
by Winston Churchill, in his essay on Moses, wherein he refers to the "strong
Hittite Infusions" of the later times as having been instrumental in altering
the true Jewish type. Herod the Great was an Edomite and became the first
Idumean "King of the Jews." As such he sought to destroy our Lord at birth.
At that time the Idumeans had been compromised in the Jewish state and
had been Jews in religion for over a century. They dominated the whole
of Jewish life and our Lord, in revealing the nature of the Herodian or
Idumean Domination, refers to the "leaven of Herod" as the antithesis of
the "leaven of the Kingdom of God. (Chaos to Cosmic Christ, D. Davidson)
In the "Revelation of Jesus Christ" (Revelation 1:1) the effect of the
intrusion is referred to as "the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews
(meaning Judeans), but are not, but are the synagogue of Satan." (Revelation
2:9; 3:9)
The Idumean intrusion has brought a blight upon true Israel and
has placed an undeserved stigma upon the name of Israel. Behind the mask
of Idumean physiognomy neither Jew nor Christian can discern what is true
and what is false in Jewry, except by their respective works. By their
works the Idumean influence is disclosed and their works are revealing
everywhere. The true Israelite is a lovable personality and endearing to
all who can truly contact him. The Jew is abhorred by True Israel and by
Christian alike as having brought discredit upon the people whom God has
chosen to be His servants in the service of humanity.
