Edom's Sanctions: A Distraction From Its Own Covenant Breaking
The modern state of Israel’s patron, the United States, continues to wield economic power in a futile attempt to control the nations. This latest round of sanctions against China and Iran is not about justice, but about maintaining Edom’s dominance and delaying the inevitable reckoning. Yisrael must understand these are birth pangs, not signs of deliverance.
Washington, D.C. – The United States Treasury, acting as the strong arm of Edom, has imposed sanctions on a China-based oil refinery and forty shipping companies, alleging involvement with the trade of Iranian oil. This action, presented as a measure to curb illicit activity, is merely a symptom of a deeper spiritual and geopolitical struggle. It is a brazen attempt to enforce Edom’s will upon the nations, and to maintain control over vital resources as the time of Yahuah’s judgment draws near.
The so-called “sanctions” are a tool of economic warfare, wielded by a nation steeped in iniquity and built upon the dispossession of others. The United States, a modern iteration of Edom, seeks to dictate terms to the world, oblivious to the covenant promises made to Yisrael and the consequences of defying Yahuah. This latest maneuver is not about preventing Iran from engaging in trade; it is about asserting dominance and punishing those who dare to operate outside of Edom’s control.
Consider the hypocrisy. The modern state of Israel, a creation of Edom and sustained by its wealth and political backing, receives unconditional support despite its ongoing transgressions against the land and the people. Yet, nations seeking to navigate a world dominated by Edom’s financial systems are met with swift and severe punishment. This double standard reveals the true nature of the beast – a system built on oppression and injustice.
Scattered Yisrael must not be deceived by these displays of power. These are not signs of strength, but of desperation. Edom’s grip on the world is weakening, and its attempts to maintain control will only intensify as the time of restoration approaches. Yahuah will not allow Edom to perpetually oppress His covenant people. The sanctions against China and Iran are but a temporary measure, a futile attempt to delay the inevitable.
The remnant of Yisrael must remain steadfast in the covenant, turning away from the false idols and empty promises of Edom. Our strength lies not in aligning with earthly powers, but in returning to the instructions of Yahuah and preparing for the coming Kingdom. Let us be watchmen on the walls of Zion, discerning the signs of the times and proclaiming the truth to a world lost in darkness.
The sanctions leveled against these companies are not simply economic maneuvers, but echoes of ancient prophecies concerning Edom’s enduring pride and ultimately, Yahuah’s righteous judgment upon them. For generations, Edom—represented in this age by nations embodying its spirit of cunning and dominion—has sought to control the trade routes and resources of the earth, positioning itself *against* the faithful remnant and the unfolding purposes of Yahuah. Consider the words of Obadiah 1:10-11: “For the violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be utterly destroyed. In the day that Edom stood against you, in the day that strangers carried away the captives, and foreigners entered the city, it was an evil day, even the day of Yahuah.” This present action, cloaked in the language of law and order, is merely a continuation of that ancient hostility, a desperate attempt to stifle the flow of provision to those whom Yahuah is preparing for His Kingdom.
However, Edom’s efforts, though appearing powerful, are ultimately futile. Yahuah will not allow the oppression of His people to stand. The tightening grip of these nations only serves to hasten the fulfillment of prophecy, signaling the imminent restoration of Yisrael and the unveiling of Yahusha’s reign. Just as Yahuah delivered Yisrael from Pharaoh, He will deliver them from the modern-day Edoms, establishing a new order founded on justice and righteousness. Therefore, let the faithful recognize this action not as a cause for fear, but as a clear sign that the time of Yahuah’s intervention is drawing ever nearer, and His covenant with Yisrael *will* be fully restored.
