Islam in its religious book, the Koran, claims that it was Abraham and Ishmael who built the Kaaba, which is the small building containing a stone that supposedly fell from heaven. This shrine is located in the midst of great mosque in Mecca, Saudi Arabia.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In Genesis 16:11\u201312 YHVH prophesied the following concerning Ishmael and his descendants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>The angel of YHVH said to her further, \u201cBehold, you are with child, And you shall bear a son; and you shall call his name Ishmael, because YHVH has given heed to your affliction. And he will be a wild donkey of a man, his hand will be against everyone, and everyone\u2019s hand will be against him; and he will live to the east of all his brothers.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The modern Moslems have twisted the biblical account of Abraham\u2019s giving the birthright blessing to Isaac and believe instead that Ishmael was the promised son of blessing. Both Israelites and Arabs, therefore, believe that they have a right to the Promised Land of Canaan, and, hence, this disagreement is at the roots of the modern Arab-Israeli conflict.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Scripture further records that Esau, the disinherited son of Isaac, also had a jealous anger against his brother Jacob, who received the birthright promise instead of him. Scripture further records that Esau married the daughter of Ishmael (Gen 28:9). Thus in some of Esau\u2019s descendants (he had more than one wife), the lineage of Esau and Ishmael were combined and both men had a jealous feud with the sons of Jacob, which has been passed down generationally to this day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Bible has more to say prophetically about the descendants of Edom than about those of Ishmael. Edom is portrayed as an aggressive and bloodthirsty people who are opposed to Israel at every step. We will discover what Scripture has to say about this below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the mean time, let\u2019s take a closer look at Edom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Edom (meaning \u201cred\u201d) was Esau\u2019s nickname (see Gen 25:25,\u200930; 36:1,\u20098\u20139,\u200919,\u200943).\u00a0<\/li><li>Esau intermarried with the descendants of Ishmael (Gen 28:9).\u00a0<\/li><li>Seir is another name for the land of Edom (Gen 32:3; 33:16; 36:8).<\/li><li>Esau intermarried with the people of Canaan (Gen 36:2). He intermarried with the Hittites, the Hivites, as well as the Ishmaelites.<\/li><li>His descendants included the Amalekites (Gen 36:12,\u200916) who fought against the children of Israel upon leaving Egypt and as soon as they had entered the wilderness en route to the Promised Land (Exod 17:1).<\/li><li>Esau\u2019s sons were dukes or chieftains (leaders of clans) and kings (Gen 36:15\u201316,\u200940\u201343).<\/li><li>Although Esau\u2019s direct lineage was confined to the area of the traditional land of Edom, in modern-day Jordan, it is clear from the biblical record that he and his descendants intermarried with many of the neighboring nations, so that his descendants were scattered far and wide over the region that later became known as the Holy Land.<\/li><li>The entire one-chapter Book of Obadiahis a prophecy against Edom. Let\u2019s note several key points in this prophecy that might help us to understand some things about Edom in light of end-time Bible prophecy and how this relates to the end-times Arab-Israeli conflict. When you think of Edom, think of the modern day Palestinians.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 2<\/strong>, The descendants of Edom are greatly despised (scorned, held in contempt, disdained).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 3<\/strong>, Though they dwell in the clefts (places of concealment, retreats) of the rocks, they are proud and view themselves as invincible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 4<\/strong>, YHVH promises to bring Edom down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 7<\/strong>, Esau has a confederacy (league, alliance) of nations, which include many of the modern Moslem and Arab nations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 11<\/strong>, Edom\u2019s eyes are on Jerusalem. Edom among other foreigners will cast lots for Jerusalem (seek to divide it among the nations or religions of the world as an international city under the control of the United Nations?).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 13<\/strong>, Edom has entered into the gates of the land of Israel in the day of her calamity or disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 14<\/strong>, Edom will kill Jewish refugees trying to escape the land of Israel in her time of distress.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 15<\/strong>, The time frame of the fulfillment of these prophecies is \u201cnear\u201d the day of YHVH, when he will judge Edom and the other heathen nations.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 16<\/strong>, Edom will be drinking (celebrating?) on the Temple Mount which is YHVH\u2019s \u201choly mountain,\u201d and as a result, they shall drink the cup of YHVH\u2019s wrath.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Verse 17<\/strong>, The house of Jacob will get the Temple Mount back!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">How many descriptions of the modern Palestinian and other Islamo-terrorists do we see in Obadiah? What other people-group fits this description? Is Esau a picture of many modern-day Palestinians and their Moslem backers who hate the Jews, the state of Israel and America?&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We have learned who Jacob represents in end-time prophecy. Now we learn who Jacob\u2019s descendants\u2019 arch-enemy will be and who will attempt to prevent them from returning to the land of Israel. This will happen in the end times before the coming of the Messiah. We will learn more about this later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As we noted, Edom\u2019s hatred for Israel has its roots in the antagonism between Ishmael and Isaac, and then afterwards between Esau and Jacob. The hatred that Esau had for Israel has been passed on down to successive generations of Edomites. The biblical prophets discusses this murderous antagonism on Edom\u2019s part as being carried down generation to generation to the very end times. Let\u2019s review some of these biblical prophecies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ezekiel 36 speaks about the conflict between end-time Edom and end-time Israel. In verse two, we see that the enemies of Israel have regarded the \u201cancient high [or declared, promised] places\u201d of Israel as \u201cours in possession.\u201d This is a clear reference to the holy places in Israel (e.g. the Temple Mount for the Jews and Bethlehem for the Christians\u2014only in recent years have the Palestinians taken Bethlehem and forced\u2014out of persecution and intimidation\u2014the majority of the large Christian population of that city to leave). \u201cHigh places\u201d can also refer to the militarily strategic high places such as the Golan Heights and the ridges surrounding the eastern shores of the Sea of Galilee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, let\u2019s look at Ezekiel 35, which is a prophecy against Edom. In verses four through five, we see that end-time Edom will be devastated because of its perpetual hatred for the children of Israel. They have killed their enemies by the power of the sword. This is how Islamists have traditionally spread their religion\u2014by their curved scimitar sword. Advancing Moslem armies force its captives to leave, covert or die. According to verse five, this is to be occurring at the time of the punishment (of the children of Israel?) at the time of the end (NAS) or the end of time (lit. Hebrew). This is another example of YHVH\u2019s using Edom (Esau) to bring Ephraim and Judah to its knees in the time of the end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In verses six through nine of the same chapter, we see that YHVH will punish Edom for its blood-thirstiness against Israel and will devastate its cities and slay large numbers of its people. Other biblical prophecies indicate that the militaries of Judah and Ephraim will be the means by which YHVH accomplishes this.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finally, in verse 10, Edom (Islam) wants to take over or possess the two countries or lands (Heb. <em>eretz<\/em>) of Israel or those of Judah and Ephraim (or the Jews and Christians) even though YHVH was there (in the lands of his people). Their anger and hatred against Israel is based on envy or jealousy (verse 11) of Israel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Koran, the religious book of Islam, has taken the historic and prophesied hatred of Edom and formed a religion around it. The Koran was written by Mohammed, a Jew and Christian hater, more than one thousand years after the prophecies of Ezekiel and Obadiah. Here are some quotes from the Koran that confirm the prophecies of the Bible with regard to Edom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>Make war upon those to whom the Scriptures have been given as believe not in God [Allah] \u2026 and who forbid not that which God and His Apostle [Mohammed] have forbidden, and who profess not the profession of the truth, until they pay tribute out of hand, and they be humbled. The Jews say, \u201cEzra is a son of God\u201d; and the Christians say, \u201cThe Messiah is a son of God.\u201d Such sayings in their mouths. They resemble the sayings of the infidels of old! God do battle with them! How they are misguided! (Sura 9:29\u201330)<\/p><p>When thy Lord spake unto the angels, \u201cI will be with you: therefore stablish ye the faithful I will cast a dread into the heart of the infidels.\u201d Strike off their heads then, and strike off from them every finger-tip. (Sura 8:12)<\/p><p>\u201cO people of the Book! \u2026 Can I announce to you any retribution worse than that which awaiteth them with God? They whom God hath cursed and with whom He hath been angry\u2014some of them hath he changed into apes and swine; and they who worship Thagout are in evil plight, and have gone far astray from the right path. (Sura 5:64\u201365)<\/p><p>Only recompense of those who war against God and His Apostle, and go about to commit disorders on the earth, shall be that they shall be slain and crucified, or have their alternate hands and feet cut off, or be banished from the land \u2026(Sura 5:37)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemory\"><a href=\"javascript:\" onclick=\"Evernote.doClip({title: 'The Origins of the Arab-Muslim People',url: 'https:\/\/hoshanarabbah.org\/blog\/2019\/11\/24\/the-origins-of-the-arab-muslim-people\/',contentID: 'post-15838',suggestTags: 'Esau,Islam',providerName: 'Hoshana Rabbah Blog',styling: 'text' });return false\" class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryLink\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/static.evernote.com\/article-clipper.png\" \nclass=\"evernoteSiteMemoryButton\" \/>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\t\t\t\t<div class=\"evernoteSiteMemoryClear\">&nbsp;<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Genesis 25:30, Esau\u2026Edom.
