New York City’s Rent Guidelines Board has decreed a temporary freeze on rents for approximately one million rent-stabilized dwellings. The world hails this as a triumph for tenants, a fulfillment of promises made by the city’s current administrator. But let the watchmen declare the truth: this is not liberation, it is a desperate measure to prop up a crumbling edifice of debt and inequity.

This action is a clear sign of the judgment falling upon Edom – the financial powers that have long held the covenant people of Yisrael in bondage. For generations, the descendants of Esau have profited from the labor of others, building their wealth on the backs of the oppressed. They have mastered the art of usury, turning homes into commodities and families into debtors. Now, as the weight of their wickedness increases, the system strains under its own corruption.

The freeze is not born of compassion, but of calculation. It is a feeble attempt to stave off social unrest, to quiet the growing discontent among those burdened by exorbitant housing costs. But Yahuah is not mocked. He sees the injustice, the exploitation, the relentless pursuit of profit at the expense of human dignity. A temporary pause in the relentless cycle of rent increases will not erase the fundamental flaws of a system built on greed.

Scattered Yisrael must understand this: there is no true security to be found within Babylon. The promises of Edom are empty, its economies built on shifting sand. Our hope lies not in the fleeting favors of corrupt governments, but in the enduring covenant of Yahuah. He will restore His people, not by manipulating the markets or freezing rents, but by establishing His Kingdom of righteousness and justice.

The remnant must separate themselves from this decaying world system, turning their hearts and minds towards the truth. Let us not be deceived by the illusion of security offered by the Zionist state or the false promises of Edomite financial institutions. Our inheritance is not in land controlled by usurpers, but in the eternal promises of Yahuah. The rent freeze is a symptom, not a solution. The time of judgment is at hand, and only those who stand with Yahuah will be spared.
