The Ancient Wound

Yisrael, do you not perceive it? The bleeding of the ancient wound festers anew. For generations, we have spoken of Edom as a geopolitical entity, a nation-state to be reckoned with. But Edom is more than geography; it is a *spirit*, a relentless animosity rooted in the womb of Esau, a perpetual rebellion against the birthright promised to Yaacob (Genesis 25:22-26). This spirit does not confine itself to borders and armies. It permeates, it insinuates, it *narrates*. And in this age, the primary vehicle for this narration is the media and entertainment complex – the modern manifestation of Babylon’s insidious power.

Consider Obadiah’s pronouncements (Obadiah 1:10-14). Violence against your brother Yaacob, rejoicing over the calamity of Yisrael, plundering his substance…these are not merely historical accusations. They are *patterns*. Edom’s heart has always been set on diminishing Yisrael, twisting truth, and profiting from her suffering. Today, that profit is measured not in silver and gold, but in attention, influence, and the erosion of moral foundations. The current reports – arms smuggling thwarted, blatant bias in governance, exposure of depravity at the highest levels – are symptoms, not the disease itse
