Updated: Obadiah And The Prophetic Parable Of The Tares

Much has progressed with the prophetic circumstances of the House of Israel, Biblically, the indigenous Christian nations, since the original edition of this article, since updated, was first posted more than ten years ago. Where we are today, and what the prophecies tell us about our "Big Brother" Zionists, Esau/Edom, the sixth head of the Beast of Revelation, Babylon the Great have come into clearer focus with the tumultuous events in the Middle East/West Asia. Our current circumstances with the Iran War go back to the prophecy in Gensis 27 involving the two brothers, Jacob/Israel and Esau/Edom. Edom has broken our yoke off his neck, and has gained dominion over us, the US and the nations of West as the prophesy said. It is why the US is a proxy to Zionist Israel, Edom.

Book Excerpts

The Genesis Birthright

Our story is non-fiction. While the names have changed, no one is innocent. And it is far more intriguing and meaningful in our every day lives than any fiction. Close to a hundred million copies of this story are sold every year. Because the body of this story is scattered in the pages of the Biblical record in bits and pieces like a puzzle, we are oblivious to its film noir essence not unlike a person who is shocked to find out that their quiet next-door neighbor has a cellar full of buried bodies. We are about to put those bits and pieces together. We will form a very clear picture that is of great importance for us today. And we will discover that everything is not as it appears.

It all began with a lie. And from the looks of it, we are ending it with lies. For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to the garden of low-hanging fruit. Of course in Matthew 7, it reads a little bit differently, “For wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction.” The low-hanging fruit part of the sentence above refers to the fact that in our society it’s made virtually effortless for us to take the path of least resistance, not seeking first the power and authority of God and the truth of the word of God in our lives, but falling to the impulses of the flesh, which, being contrary to the Spirit of God, leads to destruction and death. It is this path of false promise, as Aldous Huxley pointed out in Brave New World, of phantom comfort and happiness, rather than truth and beauty, the high-hanging fruit, that our society ardently pursues.
