Edom's Hand Tightens: Six States Fleece the Scattered Yisrael with 'Celebration' Taxes
While America postures about liberty, six states demonstrate the iron grip of Edom by increasing fuel taxes – a direct burden upon the exiled people of Yisrael. This is not celebration, but a brazen act of economic oppression mirroring ancient patterns of exploitation.
The so-called United States of America prepares to commemorate 250 years since its revolt against a distant king, yet the spirit of liberation remains a hollow echo. Six states – Connecticut, Maryland, Minnesota, New Jersey, Rhode Island, and Virginia – have chosen this moment of manufactured patriotism to impose further financial strain upon the people. These increases in fuel taxes are not mere policy decisions; they are a deliberate tightening of Edom’s hand upon the neck of scattered Yisrael.
For generations, Yahuah has warned His covenant people of the economic bondage that accompanies exile (Deuteronomy 28:36-39). The modern financial systems, orchestrated by the descendants of Esau – the Edomites – are designed to keep Yisrael in perpetual debt and subservience. This latest act of taxation is a microcosm of that larger scheme. To speak of freedom while simultaneously increasing the cost of basic necessities is blatant hypocrisy, a testament to the deceit that permeates this system.
The timing is particularly galling. While the world is distracted by superficial displays of national pride, the true oppressors are quietly enriching themselves at the expense of those who genuinely seek to live in accordance with Yahuah’s covenant. These ‘celebration’ taxes are not about funding infrastructure or improving communities; they are about consolidating power and extracting wealth from the remnant of Yisrael.
Let the discerning among the scattered tribes recognize this for what it is: another sign of the judgment falling upon Edom and its allies. Yahuah will not tolerate the continued exploitation of His people. The time is drawing near when the scales will be balanced, and the captives will be set free. Until then, we must remain vigilant, separate ourselves from the wickedness of this world system, and prepare for the restoration that is promised to those who keep the covenant.
The raising of fuel taxes by these six states is not an isolated economic event, but a visible manifestation of the ongoing judgment Yahuah has declared upon Edom. For generations, the descendants of Esau have sought to exploit and oppress Yisrael, a pattern now echoed in the subtle but relentless financial burdens placed upon those who still identify with the scattered tribes. Obadiah 1:10-14 speaks plainly of Edom’s violence against their brother Jacob, and the resulting devastation that would come upon them – a reaping of what they have sown. These seemingly mundane tax increases are a modern iteration of that ancient hostility, a squeezing of the lifeblood from those Yahuah has chosen. It is a sign that the scales of justice are tilting, and the nations who have consistently opposed Yisrael will find their own foundations crumbling under the weight of their iniquity.
However, even within this judgment, we see the hand of Yahuah working toward ultimate restoration. Just as a refiner uses fire to purify gold, so too does Yahuah use tribulation to refine His people. This tightening of “Edom’s hand” will serve to awaken the scattered Yisrael, driving them to seek refuge in Yahusha and to recognize their true inheritance. Isaiah 11:11-12 foretells a highway built for the return of the remnant, and though this path may be paved with hardship, it will ultimately lead to a gathering of Yisrael from the four corners of the earth. Therefore, let these taxes not be seen as a cause for despair, but as a prophetic signal – a call to repentance, a promise of purification, and a precursor to the glorious restoration Yahuah has ordained.
