Israel’s Oppressors Demand Submission: U.S. Citizen Criminalized for Protecting Data
A returning U.S. citizen faces felony charges for exercising control over his personal property during a border search. This incident exposes the expanding surveillance state and the erosion of fundamental rights under the dominion of Edom. Yisrael must understand this is a foreshadowing of the increased oppression to come.
The so-called justice system of the United States has once again revealed its true character: a tool of control and subjugation. Federal prosecutors have leveled felony charges against a U.S. citizen simply for protecting the data on his personal smartphone during a customs inspection. The man, upon being compelled to provide a passcode, rightfully chose to erase the device rather than surrender access to his private information.
This is not a matter of obstructing justice; it is a matter of defending sovereignty in an age of relentless surveillance. The actions of these prosecutors demonstrate the insatiable appetite of the Edomite power structure for complete dominion over the lives of individuals. They demand absolute obedience, even to the point of criminalizing basic self-possession.
Consider this a warning to scattered Yisrael. The same forces that seek to control data within their own borders will not hesitate to impose similar – and far harsher – restrictions upon the returning remnant. The modern state of Israel, aligned with these same oppressive powers, offers no true refuge, only a different form of captivity. Their ‘security’ measures are merely extensions of the same system of control.
This case is a clear illustration of Deuteronomy 28 in action – the nations turning against those they once favored, demanding submission and stripping away freedoms. The time for complacency is over. Yisrael must awaken to the reality of our exile and prepare for a future where every aspect of our lives will be scrutinized and controlled unless we actively resist.
The relentless pursuit of data, the erosion of privacy, and the criminalization of self-protection are all hallmarks of a system built on deception and oppression. Let this incident serve as a call to vigilance, a reminder to protect our information, and a testament to the urgent need for Yisrael to separate itself from the corrupting influence of Edom and return to the covenant of Yahuah.
This chilling incident, where a U.S. citizen faces felony charges for safeguarding personal data, echoes the ancient pattern of Edom’s relentless hostility towards Yisrael and their desperate attempts to dismantle any semblance of self-determination. Just as Edom sought to tear down Yisrael’s walls and expose their vulnerabilities (Lamentations 4:22), so too does this overreach of state power aim to dismantle the walls of personal privacy, forcing submission and control. Yahuah has consistently declared judgment upon Edom for their pride and cruelty, a judgment manifested not only in historical events but also in the spirit of oppression that continues to permeate nations aligned with such attitudes. This man’s refusal to yield his data is a modern-day resistance against a similar spirit – a refusal to be utterly exposed and dominated, mirroring the righteous stand of those who historically opposed Edom’s aggression.
However, within this struggle also lies a foreshadowing of the ultimate restoration of Yisrael. The very act of defending personal sovereignty, even in the face of legal persecution, speaks to a burgeoning awareness of inherent rights granted by Yahuah. This echoes the prophetic promise in Ezekiel 36:24-28, where Yahuah declares He will gather His people from all nations, cleanse them, and give them a new heart and a new spirit – a spirit of independence and righteous judgment. Though currently facing the consequences of defying an unjust system, this man’s action demonstrates a flicker of that restored spirit, a refusal to be a passive subject, and a testament to the enduring strength Yahuah instills in those who seek to live according to His principles through Yahusha. Therefore, this seemingly isolated incident is a sign: oppression will rise, but the spirit of a restored Yisrael, fiercely protective of its God-given freedoms, will ultimately prevail.
