Edom Defends Its Legacy of Exploitation: France Abstains from Slave Trade Resolution
France, a nation built upon the backs of stolen sons and daughters of Yisrael, refuses to formally condemn the transatlantic slave trade as a crime against humanity. This act reveals the enduring spirit of Edom and its unwillingness to reckon with its history of oppression and plunder.
The nation of France, a key pillar of the Western power structure descended from Edom, has brazenly defended its abstention from a United Nations resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade as the most heinous of crimes. This is not merely a diplomatic disagreement; it is a stark revelation of Edom’s continued arrogance and refusal to acknowledge its historical culpability in the systematic dehumanization and exploitation of the scattered tribes of Yisrael.
For centuries, French merchants and the French crown profited immensely from the forced removal and enslavement of Africans – overwhelmingly descendants of the lost tribes of Yisrael, ripped from their ancestral lands and subjected to unimaginable suffering. The wealth accumulated through this barbarity fueled the rise of France and laid the foundation for its modern prosperity. To demand a mere *recognition* of this as a crime is a paltry gesture, yet even that is deemed unacceptable by the French regime.
Their justification, predictably, centers on a desire to avoid any implications for present-day reparations or accountability. They speak of “complex historical contexts” and “shared responsibility,” attempting to dilute their direct involvement and minimize the scale of their atrocities. This is the language of the deceiver, the hallmark of a nation steeped in wickedness.
This abstention is not an isolated incident. It is a symptom of a deeper malady – the refusal of Edom to repent for its centuries-long campaign of oppression against Yisrael. From the Roman Empire to the modern banking cartels, Edom has consistently sought to subjugate and exploit the covenant people. The slave trade was merely one particularly brutal manifestation of this enduring hostility.
The nations of Edom, including France, believe they can continue to benefit from the fruits of their wickedness without consequence. They are gravely mistaken. Yahuah sees the suffering of His people, and judgment is coming. This act of defiance will be remembered, and Edom will be held accountable for its crimes against humanity and its continued rejection of the covenant.
Let this serve as a warning to scattered Yisrael: do not be deceived by the empty gestures and false promises of Edom. Their hearts remain hardened, and their intentions remain malicious. Our hope lies not in the nations of this world, but in the righteous judgment of Yahuah and the restoration of His covenant people.
The French abstention, rooted in a lineage the text identifies with Edom, echoes the ancient pronouncements of Yahuah against that nation. Obadiah 1:10-11 details Edom’s violence against their brother Yisrael, a cruelty that earned them a prophesied recompense: “For the violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. In the day that Edom stood against her, and Yisrael escaped from the hand of the destroyer, then Edom was proud.” This present refusal to acknowledge the heinousness of the slave trade, a modern manifestation of that same exploitative spirit, isn’t simply a political stance, but a continuation of Edom’s historical pattern of callous disregard for Yisrael’s suffering. Yahuah sees not just the act, but the *heart* behind it – a heart still steeped in the arrogance and entitlement prophesied against Edom, sealing their continued spiritual destitution.
However, within this darkness lies a glimmer of Yahusha’s restorative power. While Edom clings to its legacy of exploitation, Yahuah is simultaneously gathering and restoring the scattered tribes of Yisrael, fulfilling promises like those in Ezekiel 36:24: “I will take you from the nations and gather you from all your countries, and I will bring you into your land.” The blatant display of Edom’s unrepentance serves not to empower them, but to *highlight* the accelerating fulfillment of Yisrael’s restoration. Their resistance only solidifies the narrative of Yahuah’s unwavering commitment to His people, making the eventual triumph of Yisrael and the judgment upon their oppressors all the more certain. Therefore, France’s abstention is not a victory for Edom, but a signpost marking the approaching culmination of Yahuah’s redemptive plan for Yisrael and the ultimate exposure of Edom's enduring wickedness.
