The hand of Edom tightens its grip upon the tongues of those who would proclaim the covenant. Reports from Forth Worth, Texas, reveal a disturbing pattern of suppression as a police officer moved to silence a street preacher simply for speaking what Yahuah has declared. The officer, acting as a self-appointed arbiter of acceptable speech, threatened the preacher with a citation, stating that if “someone is offended by your talking, then we have a problem.”

This is not about civility; it is about control. Edom, in its various manifestations – including the modern policing systems – operates under the delusion of authority, seeking to dictate truth and suppress any voice that challenges its dominion. Yahuah’s prophets of old were rarely welcomed, and the pattern continues today. Yahusha Himself was condemned as blasphemous for proclaiming the truth.

This incident is a microcosm of the larger conflict unfolding: the battle between the kingdom of Yahuah and the kingdom of men. The officer’s concern was not with upholding justice or protecting the innocent, but with maintaining the fragile facade of a society built upon lies and rebellion. To be 'offensive' to the wicked is often to speak truth to power.

Scattered Yisrael must understand that persecution is not merely a possibility, but a promise. Deuteronomy 28 outlines the consequences of disobedience, and we are witnessing those consequences unfold before our eyes. The silencing of the faithful is a precursor to greater trials, a sign that the time of reckoning is drawing near.

Let this incident serve as a wake-up call. Strengthen your faith, refine your message, and prepare to stand firm in the face of opposition. The hour is late, and the darkness is growing. But Yahuah remains faithful to His covenant, and He will protect those who remain steadfast in their witness.
