Who are the Modern-Day Descendants of Esau? - Part 2
Copied from the sermon notes of Pastor Don Elmore
July 12, 2026
Scripture Reading: Genesis 27:29
29) “Let people serve thee, and nations bow down to thee: be lord over thy brethren, and let thy mother’s sons bow down to thee: cursed be every one that curseth thee, and blessed be he that blesseth thee.”
Before we begin today’s sermon, I want to make a correction of something that I said in my last sermon. In my previous lesson I mentioned that this would be a two-part series, but this will now be expanded to be a three-part series. For the topic is of extreme importance in today’s world. Our nation is in the midst of deciding what side they are on when the question is raised about whether our nation should give unconditional aid or any support to the Jewish (antichristian) country of Israeli? And this week we had the preliminary trial of Tyler Robinson, the alleged murderer of Charlie Kirk, when the prosecution has failed to prove that he was guilty, in both my and many internet hosts opinions.
The Christian-Zionist church, Cornerstone, in San Antonio, Texas (pastored by John Hagee) who sponsors The Christian United for Israel organization, has called anyone who criticizes the Jewish people or its nation--demonic. CUFI reported that Tucker Carlson and Candance Owens are telling lies and hate, and Benjamin Shapiro, who is a Talmudic Jew, is telling the truth. May this series help you decide which side is right.
And there is something that needs to be repeated from part one: Jacob and Esau were not just brothers; they were fraternal twins. You can’t get much closer than that unless you are identical twins. How many twins do you know that have a perpetual intense hatred toward each other than what Esau and Jacob and their descendants have had, (it has lasted for four thousand years), besides Cain and Abel (which has lasted for six thousand years)? Hmm. Is there a connection between these two sets of twins? There is.
But only one twin’s seed would inherit Abraham’s covenant blessing. Which one would inherit? Which one would come in second place? And why would the one that came in the runner-up position not accept his place? To not know who they are in today’s world, would be disastrous to any reader of the Bible. It is of utmost importance if one is going to understand what is happening in today’s world—the battle between Judaism and Christianity.
Since they were twins, a minority of the descendants of Esau would look, depending on who their ancestors interracially married with, remarkably close to the Jacob’s descendants who remained pure in their genealogy. Tares and wheat look very much the same in rare cases. A small number of Esau’s descendants can be mistaken for some of Jacob’s descendants, if you only went on how they looked; like Paul Neuman, Cary Grant, Walter Matthau, Carrie Fisher, Lauren Bacall, Kate Hudson, River Phoenix, Gwyneth Partlow, Sally Field, Tony Curtis, Michael J. Fox, Woody Harrelson, Ricki Lake, and Harrison Ford, etc.
Others leave no doubt as to whose descendants they are, like Sammy Davis, Jr., Rodney Dangerfield, Lenny Kravits, George Burns, Sarah Silverman, Jerry Lewis, Peter Sellers, Don Rickels, Edward Asner, Mark Zuckerberg, Larry King, Joan Rivers, Zac Efron, Fred Savage, Woody Allen, Michael Landon, Neil Diamond, Barbara Streisand, Henry Winkler, Goldie Hawn, Jerry Seinfield, Howard Stern, Jason Alexander, Jeffrey Epstein, Saul Alinsky, Henry Kissinger, Peter Falk, Barbara Walters, Ruth Ginsberg, Alan Dershowitz, Sylvester Stallone, Billy Joel, Katie Kouric, Molly Ringwald, Jake Tapper, Tina Fey, Noah Wyle, Samuel Untermeyer, etc.
That is why it says, “Let them grow unto the time of the harvest,” (Matthew 13:30) and then I (the LORD God) will separate the tares and have them cast into hell. And this brings us to one of the greatest questions of all: Who are the “tares” and who are the “wheat”? Are they the descendants of the aforementioned twins?
Most theologians say that the seed of Jacob/Israel is the Jews of today; a small number of black theologians allege that it is the black Hebrews; and an exiguous number of Caucasian theologians declare that it is their own race. But Israel was to become a multitude of nations, not just one country formed in 1948. The House of Israel was to have descendants of King David rule them, not various prime ministers. Israel was made-up of thirteen tribes, not three tribes. And Jacob’s descendants were to have a pure seed line, not like Esau’s seed, which was mixed.
Esau, from the beginning, interracially married with the Canaanites, and all his children became mixed seed. And when his seed eventually became Jews, there were no Jews that was pure-blooded. For all Jews are of mixed seed from their beginning. There are many various kinds of Jews in today’s world: Sephardic, Ashkenazi, Hasidic, Mizrahi, Ethiopian, Yemenite, Shelahite, Latino, African American, Asian, etcetera.
The Edomite seed line is 100% mixed seed. As one can see from the chart above, there are black, brown, Asian, Arab and Latino Jews, as well as Jews from the tribe of Japheth, rather than Shem. How can the Jews be Israelites when they have married every kind of different race who is present on the earth?
Israel was commanded by their LORD God to not marry anyone who was not of their own kind. Israel was to be a pure race. If every descendant of Jacob interracially married, as Esau did, there would be no Israel. That is why God commanded them to not marry any Canaanites who were living where they lived:
Deuteronomy 7:3:
3) “Neither shalt thou make marriages with them [Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, verse 1]; thy [Israelite] daughter thou[Israelite] shalt not give unto his [Canaanite] son, nor his [Canaanite] daughter shalt thou[Israel] take unto thy [Israelite] son.
The Edomites have their own “holy books” the Two Talmuds, Babylonian and Jerusalem, and Kabballah.Has anyone attempted to buy a copy of the Talmud or borrow one from the library? Has anyone ever attended or seen on television a Jewish religious service in a synagogue?
The Old and New Testament Scriptures are full of references to the three main characters of the Bible.
- Who do the interpreters of the Bible call the descendants of the kingdom of Judah?
- Who do the interpreters of the Bible call the descendants of the kingdom of Israel?
- And who do the interpreters of the Bible call the descendants of Edom who came into Judaea a century and half before the birth of Israel’s Savior?
The words “Jew,” “Jews,” “Israel,” “Israelites,” “Gentile,” “ten tribes,” “Greeks,” “Edomites,” “Idumean,” “Judah,” “Judahite,” “circumcised,” “uncircumcised,” “House of Israel,” “House of Judah,” and “Judean” are all used in a way that is many times misleading and confusing to the reader.
ARTIFICIAL INTELLEGENCE TEACHES
First, let us look at what A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) says when we asked the computer this question: “Who are the modern-day descendants of Esau?” The answer:
“Esau’s descendants, known as the Edomites, originated in the region of Mount Seir, southeast of the Dead Sea in modern-day Jordan. Over centuries, they migrated and assimilated, with historical accounts indicating they were absorbed into Jewish, Arab, and potentially European populations, often linking them to the Roman Empire, and they are now mixed with other Semitic peoples…
During the Hasmonean period in the 2nd century BC, the Edomite people were conquered and forced to convert to Judaism [the ways of the Israelites]. They subsequently intermingled with the Israelites.”
[The big problem is with the word “Jew.” In the Bible it should be “Judean.” For example, “The King of the Jews” should have been translated by the interpreters as “The King of the Judeans.” The problem for the reader is that after the second century B.C., there were two different nations living in Judaea. There were some marriages between the two groups to complicate matters even more.
An important date is 70 A.D., when the second temple was destroyed, along with the city of Jerusalem, by the Roman Army. All the residents were either killed, made slaves, or went into the great Diaspora. There were no pure-blooded Israelites in that destruction, as they had all escaped. The only ones left were “Jews” meaning Edomite/Judeans. And the name has stuck with them for that time forth.
In the Jewish Almanac, October 1980, it says in the chapter called, Identity Crisis: “Strictly speaking, it is incorrect to call an Ancient Israelite a ‘Jew’ or to call a contemporaryJew an ‘Israelite’ or ‘Hebrew.’” But this is what the interpreters of the Bible did on many occasions and have caused untold confusion to the readers of the Bible. The words “Jew” and “Israel” are completely different, and each one should represent one of the two distinct people: one mixed and the other pure.]
What does AI say when asked this question: “Who are the modern-day descendants of Jacob.” It answers:
“The descendants of Jacob (renamed Israel) are primarily identified today as the Jewish people worldwide, spanning various ethnic groups. Historically, these descendants formed the Twelve Tribes of Israel. While ten tribes were “lost” after ancient exile, their descendants are considered to have intermixed with other populations…
The modern Jewish population is predominantly considered to be descended from the tribes of Judah and Benjamin, along with the Levites.”
[Artificial Intelligence and Christian Zionists say that the modern Jewish population are descended from just three tribes of Israel: Judah, Benjamin, and Levi. Why is this? The reason they give is that the ten tribes became “lost” and intermixed with other populations. But this is incorrect.
The ten tribes were not “lost,” and they had not mixed very much with other populations. They had remained mostly pure-blooded. They are still in existence today. But why do they say that the “ten tribes” no longer exist?
It is because the Edomites became a part of the kingdom of Judah which were only three tribes. The ten tribes had been long gone in captivity. So, the Jews only recourse was to say that they are descended from the tribes of Judah, Benjamin, and Levi, if they want to claim to be Israelites. But they are Edomites and not Israelites. They are liars and are attempting to deceive the entire world. If you believe that the mixed seed Edomites are the covenant people, they are succeeding in their lie.]
THE MODERN-DAY DESCENDANTS OF ESAU ACCORDING TO JEWISH LITERATURE
“According to Jewish tradition, Esau’s descendants are identified symbolically and historically with Rome and, consequently, Western civilization. In Talmudic and Rabbinic literature, ‘Edom’ is the code word for the Roman Empire, which later expanded to represent Christianity and Europe.
The primary association is that Esau’s descendants (the Edomites) built the Roman Empire, which developed into Western Europe. Because Christianity became the religion of Rome, rabbinic literature often refers to Christians, particularly in Europe, as ‘descendants of Esau’ or ‘Edom.’ Historically, the Edomites moved into southern Judah (Idumea) and were converted to Judaism in the 2nd century BC, becoming indistinguishable from the people who were living there.
Over time, particularly after the destruction of the Second Temple [70 AD], Edomites lost their distinct identity and largely assimilated into other populations, primarily in the Middle East and the West.”
[Jewish literature and tradition say that the descendants of Esau are the Roman Empire, which later expanded to represent Christianity and Europe. But did you catch that Jewish literature says that the Edomites moved into southern Judah and were “indistinguishable” from the people who were living there.” They don’t say who was living there, but it was the Israelites. The Edomites became indistinguishable from the Israelites. Which means that one can’t tell which one is which. Then the Jews say that the Edomites, after 70 A.D. lost their identity…so how are they the Roman Empire?]
In the Jewish Torah.com website it says the following about the descendants of Esau:
“As Jacob and Esau grow up, their competition continues. Esau is a hunter while Jacob is a tent-dweller, and one, when Esau returns from a hunt, Jacob convinces his exhausted brother to sell him his birthright for a pot of stew. In a later story, Jacob finally overtakes his older twin, when he tricks their elderly blind father Isaac into blessing him with Esau’s blessing (27:19).
Esau is furious at his brother’s trick, and Jacob runs away to escape Esau’s wrath. When Jacob returns twenty years later, the brothers reconcile (Genesis 33). In the end, the brothers go their separate ways, with Jacob staying in Canaan and Esau moving to Mt. Seir.”
The two countries of Jacob (Israel) and Esau (Edom)
“Thus, when Antoninus says to Rabbi Yehudah HaNasi that he is afraid he will never be allowed into the world to come because the prophet Obadiah has declared that “no descendant of Esau will remain,” the rabbis are saying that Christians will not be allowed into the world to come, though some righteous ‘Romans’ who are good to the Jews can be saved…
Similarly, when Genesis Rabbah quotes the verse that “God hates Esau,” immediately following the midrash that the prophecy about Esau refers to Emperor Hadrian, the rabbinic authors are polemicizing against Paul’s use of this same verse in Romans. God hates Esau means that God hates Romans, and by extension, the rabbis are saying that the verse means that God hates Christians. Again, even though Hadrian lived before Rome became Christian and was not himself a Christian, Jewish readers of Genesis Rabbah know what Rome symbolizes.”
[Does any Christian, besides Christian Zionists, think that this the correct interpretation of these verses? The antichrists (Jews) are giving their interpretation of the Bible which they do not believe. The Jews say that the modern-day descendants of Esau are the Romans, Europeans, and Christians (which would include the Christian Zionists). Isn’t that interesting? And that God hates them (Romans, Europeans, and Christians) and they will not be in the coming kingdom. The Jews teach that all Christians (including Christian Zionists pastors) will all be in hell with their Savior.
Are the United States supposed to support and give aide to these antichrists and to their country who believe this? Senator Ted Cruz and the American Ambassador to Israeli, Mike Hugabee, told Tucker Carlson that that was the only way America could ever receive a blessing by God, is if they blessed Israel (meaning if they blessed the Jews). They misinterpret this Scripture, along with every Christian Zionist preacher:
Genesis 12:3:
3) “And I will bless them that bless thee[singular, referring to Abram, not the Jews], and curse him that curseth thee [singular, referring to Abram, not the Jews]; and in thee [singular, referring to Abram, not the Jews] shall all families of the earth be blessed.”
But look how the Scofield Bible gives their comments on this verse in their footnote:
(3) “There was a promise of blessing upon those individuals and nations who bless Abram’s descendants, and a curse laid upon those who persecute the JEWS.” Where in these verses does it say anything about Abram’s descendants and where does it say anything about the Jews?
THE MODERN-DAY DESCENDANTS OF ESAU ACCORDING TO OTHER PEOPLES
Islamic literature says that the modern-day descendants of Esau are often associated with the Roman Empire and by extension, Western or European populations.
In most Messianic Jewish literature is the belief that the modern-day Turks, Syrians, and Kurdish people of Iraq are descendants of Esau.
In the Bible, it states that the Apostle Paul identified his followers with Jacob and his opponents identified with Esau. In the Epistle of Barnabas, Barnabas states that Jesus’ followers are descendants of Jacob, whereas the Jews, are descendants of Esau. Tertullian, one of the church fathers (155-240 A.D.), stated that the Jews are descendants of Esau, while the Christians are descendants of Jacob.
The Talmud associates the Roman Empire with Esau. Antipater’s son, Herod, had strong ties with Roman officials. Herod’s reputation as a cruel tyrant in rabbinic texts, and the rabbis associated the tragedy of the Roman takeover of Judaea directly with Herod. And since Rome was the great power in the region throughout the rabbinic period, and the Romans destroyed the Temple and the polity of Judaea [70 A.D.], it was natural to apply the “us-them” narrative of Esau and Jacob to the us-them reality of Rome and the Jews.
Part of the rabbinic identification of Rome with Esau was in response to the Christian claim that Esau was the spiritual ancestor of the Jews. And once the Roman Empire legalized Christianity in the fourth century and adopted Christianity as its official religion, Edom became a cipher not just for the political entity Rome, but for the religious entity Christianity.
WHAT DO THE JEWS THINK OF THE FOLLOWING PEOPLE?
While browsing the internet, I found a remarkably interesting, informative website. It was a Jewish website entitled: www.jewornotjew.com. Its purpose is to investigate and tell if the following people are “a Jew or not a Jew.” They divide the people into seventeen categories:
- Actors,
- Actresses,
- Artists,
- Athletes and Coaches,
- Businesspeople,
- Comedians,
- Directors,
- Fictional Characters,
- Historical Figures,
- Media,
- Musicians and Singers,
- Politicians,
- Religious Figures,
- Scientists,
- Sociopaths,
- Writers, and
- Uncategorized.
Hundreds of people from each category are each identified as being either “a Jew or Not a Jew.”
I was interested in the category of “Religious Figures.” Who do these Jewish writers of this website think is “a Jew or not a Jew” in this section? They approach their topic with sarcasm and their own brand of humor which Christians should consider is pure blasphemy.
The following is what the modern-day Jewish antichrists wrote from that website.
JESUS CHRIST
(Yeshua Ha-Notzri) 8/2 BCE – 29/36 CE
Can all the goyim please leave the room? Yes, that means you. Put down that ham sandwich and step away from the computer. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to return.
Are they all gone? Good. So what can be said about Jesus Christ that hasn’t been said before? And how can we say it without offending a large portion of the population? (For we’re sure, even though we asked them to step away, a small percentage of our small percentage of non-Jewish readers is not listening to our pleas and is still reading this profile.)
Let’s see. Jesus Christ. The Original Goy. Hmmmm.
It’s pretty difficult. Maybe we should just write this profile straightforwardly, and do an analysis of Jesus’ Jewish and non-Jewish aspects, his life and his death (Nothing after thatdeath. Just checking if you’re reading, goyim), and the consequences of his existence on the Jewish people (not good, to say the least). Y’know, if he even existed in the first place. (Seriously, goyim. Why are you reading this?)
But that’s been done before. By smarter men than us. Time and time again. So what are we to do.
Jesus Christ. The Original Goy. Seriously, what more needs to be said?
It’s safe to come back to your computer now. That ham sandwich is getting stale.
Verdict: Sadly, a Jew.”
[Is that blasphemous or what? They call the Son of God the Original Goy and then they tell the goyim, who they say are eating a ham sandwich (which is against God’s law), to leave the website for a while. How can one person be both a Goy “a non-Jew” and a “Jew” at the same time?
They implied that nothing happened after Jesus’ death. There was no resurrection. There was no meeting with His closest friends until His ascension into heaven. In other words, He was just a man, if He even existed. They deny that Jesus Christ was God and their Messiah, and their Talmud says that He is now in hell. All His followers will follow Him into the same place—that is condemned to hell.
But there is a person the Jews hate more than Jesus Christ, the God of Israel. Know who he is? We will find out later.
Next, we will see what they have to say about Saint Peter, one of Jesus’ most important apostles, again quoting from the same website.]
“SAINT PETER
(Shimon “Keipha” Ben-Yonah) circa 1 – 64/68 CE
Sometimes, we wish the Christians were right.
Sometimes, we wish there was heaven.
Heaven, with its harps and soft white clouds. Heaven, where we could chat with Kurt Vonnegut or watch Vincent van Gogh paint or listen to Louis Armstrong play his trumpet. Heaven, instead of the nothingness we are destined to.
And if the Christians are right and there is heaven, we hope Saint Peter lets us in. We’ve tried to live an honorable life. So we bet on the wrong horse. How could we know at the time?
And if Saint Peter gives us beef and closes the gates, we’d point out that he was also a Jew. That he had also been wrong, at least three times in his life. Probably a bit more if he gave it some thought. We’d point out that a good Christian is supposed to love his fellow man, and what good Christian would deny that fellow man a chance to go to heaven?
However, we doubt that the Christians are right.
Verdict: Barely a Jew.”
[The phrase, “Sometimes we wish the Christians were right,” means that they think that we are never right. Most Jews do not believe in an afterlife. They believe that this life is all that they have and when they die, they are dead forever. There is no life here on the earth and there is no heaven. They don’t believe that there was a war in heaven either.
They say that Saint Peter was a Jew and that he was wrong a multitude of times (the first Pope was a Jew, was fallible, and he was also married? —do the Catholics believe this?) Peter and the apostles did not live where the Jews made their headquarters—Jerusalem. They lived in Galilee where the majority of the pure-blooded Israelites lived in Palestine during this time.
John 7:1: “After these things Jesus walked in Galilee: for He would not walk in Jewry [Judaea], because the Jews [Edomite/Judeans] sought to kill Him.”
Galilee was to the north in Judaea. Samaria was in the middle and was occupied by non-Israelite foreigners with a few Israelites. And Jerusalem or Judaea was to the south. This is where the majority of the Edomites lived. There were very few pure-blooded Judahites living there when Jesus was born.
When Jesus came back to Judaea from Egypt, where he and his parents had gone, after being warned by an angel of His attempted assassination by Herod, the Edomite, they did not settle in Judaea, but Galilee. That is where He lived most of his life and where He gathered eleven out of His twelve apostles.
They Jewish writers of this website say that “nothingness” is what they are destined to receive at the end of their life. When they die, there are no rewards or punishments: no heaven or hell. But do all Jews believe this?
In Judaism, beliefs surrounding the afterlife are varied, reflecting a rich tapestry of tradition, scripture, and theological discourse. The Jewish understanding of what happens after death is complex and often leaves room for multiple interpretations. Unlike many other religions that may provide a definitive image of heaven, Judaism tends to emphasize the importance of righteous living in this world as the basis for what may come after.
But the Bible gives all the Jews’ destination as hell. The Talmud says the exact opposite—all followers of Jesus Christ are destined to hell. Are we to support the enemy of God and ourselves?
Their verdict was that Peter was a Jew. Now let’s see what they say about Barnabas.]
“BARNABAS
? - 61 CE
You see, Barnabas, who was born a Jew on Cyprus, was an early Christian zealot. He and Saint Paul walked around, converting the heathens. (Makings of a buddy road trip comedy right there. Paul loses the luggage on Majorca! Barnabas gets seduced by a gaggle of nuns! Hilarity ensues?)Being a Christian saint, this means: special relics! This skull is located in Conca dei Marini, a lovely seaside town in Italy. (Come for the beach, stay for the Christian artifacts!)
Now, most of these relics are fakes, so it’s highly unlikely that the skull is Barnabas'. That being said, as disgusting as it is, it’s no match for the Holy Prepuce, which is Jesus’ supposed...
You know, look that one up on your time. We’re creeped out enough by the skull.
Verdict: Barely a Jew.”
[They say that Barnabas was born a Jew on Cyprus, but the Bible says that he was a Levite of the country of Cyprus (Acts 4:36). He was the Apostle Paul’s companion on their first missionary journey in Turkey. He was an Israelite not a Jew.
They make the remark that he and the Apostle Paul walked around converting the heathens. They converted many of their own people who had been divorced and who were the people who God said He would go to, the Gentiles or the ten tribes of Israel. They also preached to the people of the Kingdom of Judah as well as some of the Kenite/Canaanite/Edomite Jews. What did this later group do to them for preaching about Jesus Christ? The followed them everywhere they preached trying, and many times succeeding, in putting them in jail and even killing them. Are we to support these people?
And what do they say about the Apostle Paul? It should surprise many of our Christian readers.]
“SAINT PAUL
circa 5 BCE – 67 C
Hey goyim!
We’re gonna let you in on a little secret. We don’t hate Jesus Christ as much as you think we do.
It’s not like the two millennia of Christian-led antisemitism are his fault. He lived, he tried, he died. It’s his followers who f _ _ _ ed things up.
You know who we REALLY hate? One of those followers, Saul of Tarsus, known to you as Saint Paul. The world’s first antisemite.
So what did Paul do? Well, he basically started antisemitism as we know it today: the organized hatred of Judaism as a religion and Jews as people. We’ll let famed philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche (definitely not a Jew) speak: “[Paul was] the genius in hatred, in the standpoint of hatred, and in the relentless logic of hatred.”
But here’s the thing: Paul wasn’t just the world’s first antisemite. He also might have been the world’s first Jew for Jesus. For not only was he born a Jew, some scholars believe that he never left the religion, and just changed sects (makes sense, because at the time, Christianity was just a sect of Judaism).
That being said, we really can’t relent on the hate. The world’s first antisemite, the world’s first Jew for Jesus, the world’s first self-loathing Jew, it’s rather irrelevant. Rot in hell, Saint Paul.
Yes, you heard us right, goyim. Rot in hell, Saint Paul. Rot. In. Hell.
Verdict: Barely a Jew.”
[Here is where “Paul bashing” began. Many modern-day Christians, even in Christian Identity, wrongfully agree with the Jews in hating the Apostle Paul, the writer of most of the New Testament.
These Jews really hate the Apostle Paul; more than they hate Jesus. They tell this apostle to the ten tribes (which they say does not exist) to “rot in hell.” But that is where they say that all the followers of Jesus will go anyway. They are telling one of their own, for they say that he was a Jew, to rot in hell. I thought all Israelites would be saved. I guess that would prove that Jews are not Israelites!
This man, who used to be a Pharisee, was converted by God, and became the missionary mainly to the formerly (for close to seven centuries) divorced house of Israel (ten tribes). He also preached to the house of Judah. The Jews attempted to murder him several times on his missionary journeys.
Their definition of antisemitism is given in this short article. They say that it means “the organized hatred of Judaism as a religion and Jews as people.” (How could the Apostle Paul say that antisemitism was the organized hatred of Judaism when Judaism didn’t even begin till after 70 A.D.?) For it was after the destruction of the Second Temple in 70 A.D. by the Romans, that the Edomite Jews transitioned into Rabbinic Judaism, which was the foundation for modern Jewish practice. The Jews detest the writer of most of the books of the New Testament more than they hate Jesus Christ. Now, what does that tell you?]
“SABBATAI ZEVI
August 1, 1626 – September 17, 1676(?)
How ya all doin? Goyim?
What have you been up to? Sitting around, twiddling your thumbs, waiting for the messiah to come? Thought so. Might as well put on a pot of coffee. It’s gonna be a while.
Let us tell you, goyim, the story of Sabbatai Zevi. Not exactly a household name like your Jesus, but perhaps he should be?
You, goyim, are waiting for your second messiah. We’re still on our first! But in the 17th century, a bunch of us though[t] we found one! Yes, his name was Sabbatai Zevi. You’re quicker than we thought, goyim.
As a young man in Smyrna, Sabbatai didn’t want to study Jewish law. Instead, he was drawn to Kabbalah. And one of Kabbalah’s numerous numerical calculations claimed that 1648 was the year that the Jewish messiah will come. So, when the year hit, Sabbatai thought... why not me?
So he got himself some followers and started preaching. Sound familiar, goyim? The rabbis in Smyrna would have none of that and kicked him out. So he spent a few years wandering around the Mediterranean, eventually making his way to Jerusalem. His popularity grew and spread itself to Europe. Even some rabbis jumped on board. Many Jews decided to make the pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
And then the year 1666 came. You, goyim, had always seen it as apocalyptic, so many thought that yes, it will finally happen! So Sabbatai made his way to Constantinople, where he was expected to be crowned king of all, Jew and goy...
Except when he got there, the sultan arrested him. But that only empowered Sabbatai’s followers. Synagogues were inscribed with the phrase “Bless our Lord and King, the holy and righteous Sabbatai Zevi, the Messiah of the God of Jacob.” His messiahship was at fever pitch.
And then, Sabbatai converted to Islam.
Yep.
There is more to the story: exile, mysterious death, and many, many disillusioned followers.
They would have been better served twiddling their thumbs.
Verdict: Borderline Jew.”
[The Jews believed that Sabbatai was their Messiah, not Jesus Christ. It didn’t work out too well for them. And very few Christians today even know of the false Jewish Messiahship of Sabbatai Zevi. The expectation of the arrival of the Messiah had been building for some time. Based on a passage from the Zohar, many kabbalists originally calculated that 1648 would be the Messianic year. When 1648 passed without redemption, the intense longing was simply deferred to 1666. This was the designated year for worldwide redemption. Excited followers across Europe and the Middle East sold their belongings in anticipation of returning to the Holy Land.
What about the Christians? The year was 1666. Notice the last three numbers: 666. What else happened in 1666 in England?
There was the Great Fire of London, which destroyed 80% of the city. Compounded by the ongoing Great Plague and the Second Anglo-Dutch War, the year was seen as an apocalyptic time of omens.
King Charles II was the king of England, who had been exiled for fourteen years when the monarchy was exchanged for Parliamentary rule and a dictatorship. It was one of the many times that Christians have thought wrongly that Jesus would return on a certain year. And it was pivotal, as it brought the Jews back into England after almost four hundred years of exile.
And finally, what do they say about Jacob’s elder twin—Esau? Was he a Jew or Not a Jew?
What do you think?]
Now back to the vitriolic website and here's what they said about Esau:
“ESAU
Bubbes and zadehs, the moment you’ve been waiting for is here… WJEW, Jew or Not a Jew Radio! WJEW is brought to you by Rocks! You can cut with them, cook with them, do just about whatever you need to do with them. Rocks – they’re not just for breakfast anymore!
“Tonight, we talk to one of the most controversial (and hairy) figures throughout the Torah, yes it’s Esau! Esau, welcome to the program, it’s an honor.”
“Actually, I’m kind of in a rush. Y’see I’m supposed to be getting my birthright from my father, Isaac, this afternoon and I don’t want to be late. Can we do this after?”
“Oh, well, this will only take a moment. And we’ve come so far just to talk to you!
“It’s just that I’ve been waiting for this for a long time. That birthright... I mean... the sheep alone are probably worth a couple a million shekels. Plus, my dad said once I have the birthright I can marry my cousin Leah and... wooo... let me tell you, that woman is a fox!”
“What is five minutes really going to do, seriously?”
“Yeah... OK... I guess it couldn’t hurt....”
“That's the spirit! So, Esau, the moment of truth: Are... you... Jewish?”
“Huh? What is Jewish?”
“Y’know, Jews! Israelites! The Hebrews? The Children of Abraham?”
“Oh! Oh yeah. Abraham is my grandfather. What does that have to do with... Oh no. Look, I’d better get going...”
“Just one moment more, we have a question about back hair... Huh. He’s gone. Well that was rude. Seriously, what difference was five minutes gonna make “NNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!”
“Hm. Oh well. Ummmmm, for more of the Who in Hebrew, join us next time on WJEW!”
Verdict: Jew.”
[This satire leaves out a lot of history. While they were still in their mother’s womb, it was prophesied that Esau would serve Jacob. When Esau was fifteen years old, he sold his birthright to Jacob. Over the years, Esau married a couple of Canaanite women. The twins’ parents fretted over the fact that Esau married the forbidden people. Their parents sent Jacob to marry a person who was the same race as himself. The website doesn’t mention any of this.
The group also makes a profoundly serious mistake: they make the words “Jews, Israelites, Hebrews, and the Children of Abraham” all mean the same thing; they are all interchangeable. But they are NOT! Don’t learn your Bible from your enemy. They are lacking the Holy Spirit, so they are unable to see the truth of the Bible.
This Jewish website makes a very outlandish statement about Abraham and his immediate descendants. The Jews say that Abraham, Isaac, Esau, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, Rachel, Bilhah and Zilpah were all Jews. And, the website considers the wife of Abraham after the death of Sarah, Keturah, who gave him six sons, to be not Jewish. While not a child of Keturah himself, the prophet Moses married Zipporah, who was the daughter of Jethro (a priest of Midian). Because Zipporah’s lineage traces back to Keturah’s son Midian, this means Moses married a descendant of Keturah. His sons’ family served in the treasuries of the Tabernacle and Temple. But how could they have been if they were not true Israelites?
Nevertheless, if Abraham, Isaac, Esau, Jacob, Sarah, Rebekah, Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, and Zilpah were all Jewish, the Bible does not agree. The Bible says they were not Jews, for there were no Jews alive at the time they were living. They could have said that they were the ancestors of the people who later became Jews, but that would be wrong also, for Jews are mixed blooded. Israelites are pure blooded. Judaism didn’t begin until there were the Jewish “holy books.”
And how can Esau and Jacob both be “Jews” if they were to be two diverse nations? Esau miscegenated; Jacob did not. No one is identified as being a “Jew” in the Bible until 2 Kings 16:6, which tells of the war between the King of Judah and the King of Syria. It is a mistranslation.]
CONCLUSION
Look at what happened a couple of months ago. Carrie Prejan Boller was removed from President Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission following a contentious hearing on antisemitism at the Museum of the Bible in Washington, D.C. Commission Chair Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick states she was ousted for attempting to “hijack” the hearing to promote a personal political agenda.
A lawsuit has been filed challenging the makeup of the commission. The lawsuit was filed by the progressive Interfaith Alliance as well as Muslim, Hindu, and Sikh organizations. It argued that the 1972 Federal Advisory Committee Act requires that any advisory committees be fairly balanced among competing viewpoints. The lawsuit says that the commissioners consist of almost exclusively Zionist, Judeo-Christians, with one Orthodox Jewish Rabbi, led by Paula White, Trump’s so-called pastor.
During the hearing, Boller (who wore a Palestinian flag pin) initiated tense exchanges with Jewish witnesses, rejected Zionism, and repeatedly asked whether criticism of Israel or opposition to the state should be classified as antisemitism. Following these clashes, Patrick and the Trump administration removed her from the commission. Boller defended her stance, releasing an open letter and arguing that her position was rooted in Catholic conscience and teaching, stating she would “never bend the knee to the state of Israel.”
Who are the modern-day descendants of Esau? The theologians of the world say it is the Romans, Europeans, Christians, Turks, or they no longer exist. The Apostle Paul, Barnabas, and Tertullian say the descendants of Esau are the Jews. Which one is correct? You must make the choice?
To be continued.
Blessed be the LORD God of Israel.
