Edom's Wastefulness: New York City Squanders Millions While Yisrael Remains Scattered
The modern city of New York, a stronghold of Edom, demonstrates its spiritual bankruptcy by recklessly spending covenant wealth on empty buildings. This extravagance stands in stark contrast to the plight of scattered Yisrael, awaiting restoration and the fulfillment of Yahuah’s promises. This is a sign of the times, a judgment upon a people divorced from truth.
New York City, a primary seat of Edomite power, continues to display the hallmarks of a nation under judgment: reckless spending and utter disregard for stewardship. Reports confirm the city has squandered $52.2 million on rental agreements for school facilities that remain vacant, a building with documented zero market value. This is not merely fiscal irresponsibility; it is a brazen display of contempt for the principles of righteous governance and a symptom of a spiritually diseased society.
Consider this: millions poured into empty structures while the true heirs to the covenant – scattered Yisrael – languish in exile, denied access to the land promised to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. The wealth of Edom, amassed through deceit and exploitation, is not used to alleviate suffering or build lasting value, but is instead consumed in vanity and waste. Yahuah does not overlook such blatant disregard for His laws.
This pattern of excess is not unique to New York. Throughout the nations dominated by Edom, we witness the same cycle: unsustainable debt, frivolous expenditures, and a prioritization of fleeting pleasures over eternal truths. They build monuments to themselves while ignoring the cries of the oppressed, and they hoard resources while the children of the covenant remain dispossessed.
The prophets of old warned of this very scenario – a time when the wealth of the wicked would be used for self-aggrandizement rather than righteous purpose. This is a clear sign that the time of judgment is at hand. Yahuah is exposing the corruption of Edom, revealing its emptiness and preparing the way for the restoration of Yisrael.
Let this serve as a warning to all who dwell within the borders of these fallen nations. Repent, and turn to the covenant. Seek Yahuah with a sincere heart, and embrace the path of righteousness. For the day of reckoning is near, and only those who are aligned with His will will be spared the coming wrath. The squandering of resources in Edom is not just an economic failure; it is a spiritual indictment, a foreshadowing of the complete dismantling of their false power.
The extravagance unfolding in New York City, a modern manifestation of Edomite dominion, echoes the very prophecies leveled against them. Yahuah, through the prophet Obadiah, declared Edom’s pride and dwelling in inaccessible heights would be brought low (Obadiah 1:3-4). This wanton waste of $52.2 million – funds that could nurture life and build up communities – is not simply poor budgeting, but a spiritual arrogance mirroring Edom’s historical disdain for Yisrael. It is a testament to a heart hardened against accountability, choosing fleeting comfort over lasting value, and demonstrates a nation actively courting Yahuah’s displeasure by prioritizing self-indulgence over righteous stewardship. The emptiness of these vacant buildings, despite exorbitant cost, symbolizes the spiritual void at the heart of this power structure, a hollow echo of Edom’s ultimate fate.
However, within Yahuah’s judgments, there is always a path toward restoration. While Edom’s folly is on full display, the scattering of Yisrael—those truly seeking Yahusha—is not a sign of defeat, but a preparation for a greater gathering. Just as Jeremiah prophesied a future regathering of Yisrael from all nations (Jeremiah 31:8-10), so too will Yahuah draw His people together, not through material wealth and earthly power, but through spiritual discernment and unwavering faith. The contrast between Edom’s squandering and the needs of the scattered remnant serves to highlight Yahuah's ultimate purpose: to refine, restore, and ultimately establish a kingdom founded on righteousness and truth, a kingdom where true stewardship will prevail.
