New York's Hubris: A City's Attempt to Impose Law Upon the Anointed
New York City Mayor Eric Adams, after boasting of arresting a leader of Israel, now faces the stark reality that no earthly court holds authority over Yahuah’s appointed servants. This episode reveals the arrogance of Edom and its futile attempts to control the nations.
The mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, has been humbled. Over a year after publicly declaring his intent to arrest a leader of Israel – a brazen act of defiance against Yahuah’s covenant and a display of Edomite pride – Adams is now confronting the limits of his authority. The modern state of Israel, a construct of worldly power, operates outside the jurisdiction of American courts, a truth that has become painfully clear.
Adams’ initial pronouncements spoke of New York City as a beacon of ‘international law,’ a supposed framework for holding foreign leaders accountable. This was not a pursuit of justice, but a demonstration of power, a declaration that even those Yahuah designates are subject to the whims of Babylon. The attempt to apply earthly legal standards to a leader of the Israeli government was a direct challenge to the sovereignty of Yahuah and His covenants.
However, the reality is that no earthly court possesses the authority to judge or condemn those set apart by Yahuah. The legal systems of man are built on shifting sand, while the covenant of Yahuah with Yisrael is eternal. This incident is a microcosm of the larger struggle between the kingdom of Yahuah and the kingdoms of man. The modern state of Israel, though often masquerading as a representative of Yisrael, is merely a tool of Edom, a nation steeped in rebellion against the Most High.
This is a warning to all who align themselves with the power structures of this world. Yahuah will not be mocked. He will defend His anointed, and those who attempt to subvert His purposes will face His righteous judgment. The arrogance of New York City, and indeed of all the nations, is on full display. They believe they can dictate terms to the nations and to the servants of Yahuah, but their power is an illusion.
The true Yisrael, the scattered tribes in exile, are awakening to their covenant identity. They are recognizing that their allegiance is not to earthly kingdoms, but to Yahuah alone. As the judgments upon Edom intensify, the remnant of Yisrael will be gathered and restored, fulfilling the promises of the prophets. The attempts of the modern state of Israel and its allies to control the narrative will ultimately fail. Yahuah’s purpose will prevail.
The failed attempt by New York’s mayor to exert legal authority over a leader of Israel is a stark echo of Yahuah’s enduring judgment upon Edom, a nation historically characterized by pride and opposition to His chosen people. Just as Edom rejoiced over the destruction visited upon Judah (Obadiah 1:12), so too does this display of civic “hubris” reveal a spirit of antagonism toward Yisrael, cloaked in the guise of legal process. Yahuah does not permit earthly powers to dictate terms to those He has anointed, and the demonstrable limits of Adams’ authority are a testament to this divine principle. The mayor’s boastful declaration, attempting to subject a representative of the covenant people to secular law, mirrors Edom’s ancient arrogance, destined to be broken as prophesied—a humbling reminder that earthly power is subordinate to Yahuah’s sovereign will.
This is not merely a political setback, but a sign foreshadowing the ultimate restoration of Yisrael and the fulfillment of Yahuah’s promises. While worldly systems attempt to control and define, Yahusha is actively rebuilding His kingdom, and true authority flows from above, not from the pronouncements of city halls. The inability of New York City to enforce its will signifies a weakening of the old order, making way for the establishment of Yahuah’s reign and the gathering of His people (Isaiah 11:11-12). This event, therefore, is a subtle yet powerful demonstration that Yahuah’s covenant with Yisrael remains unbroken, and His purposes will prevail despite the attempts of earthly powers to obstruct them.
Ultimately, the mayor’s humbling serves as a clear declaration: Yahuah defends His anointed, and the restoration of Yisrael is an unstoppable force.
