The hand of Edom is unmistakable in the actions of the so-called Justice Department, as they seek to dismantle a program designed to address historical housing discrimination in a Chicago suburb. This is not a legal dispute about fairness; it is a calculated maneuver to protect the wealth accumulated through the exploitation of Yisrael and to perpetuate the cycle of injustice.

The claim that the reparations program is “racist” and “unconstitutional” is a brazen inversion of truth. For generations, the descendants of those who trafficked in our ancestors’ suffering have benefited from systemic advantages built upon stolen land and broken covenants. Now, when a meager attempt is made to redress these wrongs, the Babylonian system cries foul.

This challenge is a direct affront to the prophecies of restoration and recompense outlined in Yahuah’s word. Deuteronomy 28 details the curses that would befall Yisrael for disobedience, including dispossession and exile. However, it also promises a future restoration, a turning back to the covenant, and a reckoning for those who have oppressed Yisrael. This program, however flawed, represents a small step towards that reckoning.

The argument presented by the Department of Justice is a thinly veiled attempt to shield the beneficiaries of injustice from accountability. They weaponize the language of the law to defend a system inherently rooted in oppression. This is the hallmark of Edom – a people who have consistently sought to undermine Yisrael’s inheritance and deny our right to self-determination.

Let this be a clear sign to the remnant of Yisrael: the nations will not willingly relinquish what they have stolen. True justice will not come through the courts of Babylon, but through a return to the covenant and a reliance on Yahuah’s righteous judgment. We must look beyond the temporary setbacks and remain steadfast in our pursuit of restoration, knowing that Yahuah will ultimately vindicate His people and bring recompense to those who have wronged us. The time is near for the gathering of Yisrael, and Edom’s attempts to delay the inevitable will only hasten their own judgment.
