Obadiah – Part 1 “The Sephardic-Ashkenazi-Edomite confederacy over Biblical Israel and the fight for dominance”

(Esau>Edomites>Edom>children of Lot>S.Jordan>Amalekites>Jordanians> Ethnic M.Easterners joined with the Romans to expel the Jews (both classes); took their identity became Sephardim; joined with the Gentiles, Ashkenazi, Khazars and will have their deeds returned upon them by the Ashkenazi taking their identity (Jews) and oppressing them. Only the flame – Joseph is the solution.) Obadiah-the server of Yah. A prophecy of judgement and promise. The judgement focuses on Edom (who is Edom?) whose dispossession and downfall is proclaimed for its overall arrogance and for it’s treachery against Judah. This happened primarily during the siege and destruction of the First Temple, but later during the destruction of the Second Temple and their alliance with the Romans. Obadiah was the only known convert ever to obtain the gift of Prophecy. Obadiah was therefore a suitable vehicle to condemn the descendants of Edom since if he himself chose the right path so could they have done if they so wanted. Connection to torah: Esau and Jacob/Jacob was afraid/ divided his houses/Judah 1st; Rachael and Joseph last. So; Obadiah is a multi layered prophecy addressing historically events after the division of the House of Israel (Israel divided his house) the Edomites; and the destruction of Jerusalem and the First Temple. But it also looks into the prophetic middle ground between the division of the house and the sending out of Rachael and Joseph. It addresses the middle ground; the ground surrounding the destruction of the Second Temple. The Edomites (Herod/the rulers) in their treachery sided with the Romans against the two classes of Jews, the nomadic land farmers and the traveling regal merchant class that were both betrayed by them and taking their identity. Lastly; Obadiah looks to the prophetic forward the time surrounding Rachel’s son Jospeh/Ephraim; and Joseph’s return from the nation as a flame; the point, or arrow in the midst of a burning Israel afire! First Temple after the division of Israel. Middle ground: Second Temple’s destruction Prophetic present, the time of Joseph – the flame. Genesis 32:1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him. 2  And when Jacob saw them he said, This is Elohim’s camp. And he called the name of that place Two Camps. 3  And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, to the land of Seir, the country of Edom. 4  And he commanded them, saying, So shall you speak to my lord Esau: Your servant Jacob says thus, I have lived with Laban and stayed until now. 5  And I have oxen and asses, flocks, and menservants, and slave women. And I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find grace in your sight. 6  And the messengers returned to Jacob saying, We came to your brother Esau, and also he comes to meet you, and four hundred men with him. 7  Then Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed, and he divided the people with him, and the flocks and herds, and the camels, into two bands. 8  And he said, If Esau comes to the one company and strikes it, then the other company which is left shall escape. 9  And Jacob said, Oh Elohim of my father Abraham, and Elohim of my father Isaac, יהוה, who said to me, Return to your country and to your kindred, and I will deal well with you: 10  I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have done to Your servant. For with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have become two bands. 11  Deliver me, I pray You, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau. For I fear him, lest he come and strike me, from mother to sons. 12  And You said, I will surely do you good, and make your seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude. 13  And he lodged there that night. And he took of that which came to his hand, a present for Esau his brother 14  two hundred she-goats, twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes, and twenty rams, 15  thirty milk camels with their colts, forty cows and ten bulls,
