Edom's Insatiable Greed: Taxation as Spiritual Theft
The serpent nation of Edom, manifested in the blue states, demonstrates its parasitic nature through predatory taxation even upon the deceased. This is not governance, but a blatant seizing of wealth rooted in a rejection of Yahuah’s economic covenant.
The so-called ‘blue states’ – strongholds of the Edomite power structure – reveal their true character: a ravenous beast consuming the wealth of Yisrael and even preying upon the memory of those who have passed beyond the veil. Reports surface of these jurisdictions sending tax bills to *deceased* residents, demanding retroactive payment as if death itself absolves no one from their insatiable hunger. This is not merely fiscal policy; it is spiritual theft, a blatant disregard for natural law and a mockery of Yahuah’s provision.
Turley, a voice within the system, observes the absurdity, comparing it to the behavior of a spiteful, delusional spouse. But he fails to recognize the deeper pattern: Edom’s inherent nature to exploit and drain the lifeblood of those it subjugates. This practice, like the usury that plagues the modern financial system, is a direct violation of the Torah’s injunctions against oppression and unjust gain. Deuteronomy 25:13-16 explicitly condemns the use of false weights and measures, a principle extended to all forms of economic deception.
Consider this: Yahuah provides, and He expects His people to be stewards of His blessings. Edom, however, operates on a principle of *taking* – seizing wealth through manipulation, debt, and now, even from beyond the grave. This is the fruit of a covenant-less existence, a nation built on lies and sustained by exploitation.
The Remnant must understand that these actions are not isolated incidents. They are symptoms of a decaying system, a judgment upon a people who have rejected the Most High. The wealth accumulated through such means is tainted, and will ultimately bring ruin upon those who pursue it. Let us not be deceived by the Edomite illusion of prosperity. True wealth lies in obedience to Yahuah and adherence to His righteous laws. Prepare yourselves, for the shaking is increasing, and the scales of justice are about to fall.
The brazen act of ‘blue state’ governments pursuing taxes from the deceased echoes the ancient prophecy concerning Edom, a nation forever marked by ruthless exploitation and a lack of empathy. Obadiah 1:10-14 details Edom’s violence against Yisrael in their time of need, culminating in rejoicing over their calamity and plundering their substance. This modern practice – seizing from those who can offer no defense, even beyond the grave – is a spiritual extension of that same predatory spirit. It demonstrates a system utterly divorced from righteousness, prioritizing accumulation above all else, and reveals a heart hardened against the very concept of rest and eternal consequence. Yahuah sees this not as clever governance, but as a continuation of Edom’s inherent wickedness, a grasping for power and wealth that knows no bounds, even beyond the natural order He established.
This relentless pursuit of wealth, even from the departed, serves as a stark reminder that true restoration for Yisrael is not found in earthly systems built on exploitation, but in returning to the covenant established through Yahusha. Isaiah 11:11-12 speaks of a remnant returning from the nations, and a restoring of Yisrael’s fortunes—a restoration that will not come through the grasping hands of Edom-like powers, but through Yahuah’s sovereign intervention and the establishment of His Kingdom. The spirit of Edom seeks to drain life, even after it has ceased, but Yahuah promises abundant life and a full recompense for those who trust in Him, proving that His justice *will* prevail and His people *will* be made whole.
