The spectacle of Israel’s 78th year is not a celebration, but a painful echo of Edom’s defiance, a nation prophesied to face Yahuah’s unrelenting judgment for its pride and relentless opposition to His people. Obadiah 1:10-11 details the fate awaiting those who rejoiced over the calamity of Israel and participated in their dispossession: “For the violence against your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. On the day that Edom stood against help, on the day that strangers carried away the strength of Jacob, then you did not rejoice in the day of his disaster, but you joined with those who plundered him.” This modern iteration, cloaked in nationalistic fervor and sustained by a compromised narrative, mirrors Edom’s ancient hostility, a refusal to acknowledge Yahuah’s covenant and a perpetuation of injustice upon the scattered house of Jacob. The true Yisrael, those bearing the spiritual lineage regardless of geographical location, remain in exile—not merely from a land, but from the recognition of their true identity and destiny.

However, even within this shadow of judgment, Yahuah’s ultimate purpose will prevail. Isaiah 11:11-12 proclaims a future restoration, a gathering of the dispersed: “It shall come to pass in that day that the root of Jesse will stand as a banner for the peoples; the nations will seek him, and his resting place will be glorious. Then it will be that the remnant of Jacob, even a small number, will be among the nations.” This restoration isn’t solely territorial, but a spiritual reunification orchestrated by Yahusha, drawing the scattered tribes back into covenant relationship with Yahuah. The current state, built on a foundation of dispossession, stands as a temporary distortion of Yahuah’s plan, a challenge to be overcome through repentance and the fulfillment of His prophetic word—the true Yisrael *will* be fully restored, both spiritually and, ultimately, to their promised inheritance.
