The hand of Edom, through its puppet Donald Trump, has issued a 90-day extension of a waiver for the Jones Act. This maritime law, which restricts shipping between U.S. ports to American-built and -operated vessels, has become a stumbling block in the face of a manufactured ‘energy crunch.’ Let none be deceived: this is not a matter of logistical difficulty, but a symptom of a deeper spiritual and economic sickness afflicting this nation.

The Jones Act, like so much of Edom’s legal framework, serves to protect domestic industries at the expense of free trade and righteous dealing. It is a manifestation of the self-serving policies that have long characterized this nation’s relationship with the world – and with Yisrael. The temporary suspension of this law is a desperate attempt to mask the failures of a system built on unsustainable practices and fueled by exploitation.

Understand this: Yahuah is revealing the weakness of Edom. The crumbling infrastructure, the energy shortages, the economic instability – these are not accidents. They are judgments being poured out upon a nation that has consistently defied His covenant and oppressed His people. Trump’s actions are akin to applying a bandage to a mortal wound. They offer no lasting solution, only a brief delay of the inevitable.

Scattered Yisrael must not look to Edom for salvation. Our hope lies not in the policies of earthly rulers, but in the promises of Yahuah. He has declared that He will restore Yisrael to her inheritance, and He will judge those who have sought to dispossess us. This temporary waiver is a fleeting moment in a larger narrative of judgment and restoration. Let us remain vigilant, steadfast in our faith, and focused on the task of preparing ourselves for the coming kingdom. The modern state of Israel, a counterfeit built on stolen land, will not be the instrument of Yahuah’s purposes. True Yisrael, the covenant people, are the inheritors of the promise.
