The Pope The Palestinians and Ezekiel 35 WR15-213

When you read Ezekiel 35 prophecy below consider the following facts. Mt. Seir was the stronghold of the Edomites. Mt. Seir was located just a few miles northeast of Elat.

The Edomites were the descendants of Esau, the firstborn son of Isaac. Esau married the daughter of Ishmael, Machlat.

The Bible tells us, that Rebecca’s pregnancy was a difficult one. “The children clashed inside her.” Confused she asks of God: “Why is this happening to me?” God’s reply: “Two nations (Esau and Jacob) are in your womb. Two governments will separate from inside you. The upper hand will go from one nation to the other. The greater one will serve the younger.”

Esau and Jacob are diametrically different characters. Esau was a skilled hunter, a man of the field. Jacob was a wholesome man, who sat in the tents, a scholar who dwelled in the tents of study.  Esau and Jacob were “two nations” that initially could not co-exist in peace just as in the Middle East today.

As you already know Abraham was the father of all nations. Ishmael was the father of the Arab/Muslim world. Esau was the father of the Roman/Christian/Western world and Jacob was the father of the Jewish world. 

In verse 10 God talks about the two nations in His land: Israel and modern day Palestine but God will conquer it and unite it for Israel.

In verse 11 God describes the modern day Arab Edomites as angry, hateful, envious, blasphemous (practitioners of Islam) and boastful.

Keep in mind the so-called modern day Palestinian Arabs are being used as pawns by the Roman Catholic Church (RCC) and Pope Francis. This is important because Esau was the father of the Roman, Christian, and Western world and the RCC has seized Israeli properties e.g. The Upper Room above King David’s tomb.   

The RCs believe the pope is the Vicar of Christ on Earth. Vicar comes from the Latin vicarious, hence Vicarious Christi literally means anti-christ! Personally I believe the pope will be the false prophet for the one world religion, not the anti-christ but I could be wrong.

In verse 11 God says he will judge the Muslim Arabs and I believe also the modern day Pharaoh – the pope for mistreating his “chosen people”.

Ezekiel 35

1 Moreover the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,

2 Son of man, set thy face against mount Seir,. ...and prophesy against it,

3 And say unto it, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, O mount Seir, I am against thee, and I will stretch out mine hand against thee, and I will make thee most desolate.

4 I will lay thy cities waste, and thou shalt be desolate, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.

5 Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

6 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

7 Thus will I make mount Seir most desolate, and cut off from it him that passeth out and him that returneth.

8 And I will fill his mountains with his slain men: in thy hills, and in thy valleys, and in all thy rivers, shall they fall that are slain with the sword.

9 I will make thee perpetual desolations, and thy cities shall not return: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.

10 Because thou hast said, These two nations and these two countries shall be mine, and we will possess it; whereas the Lord was there:

11 Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord God, I will even do according to thine anger, and according to thine envy which thou hast used out of thy hatred against them; and I will make myself known among them, when I have judged thee.

12 And thou shalt know that I am the Lord, and that I have heard all thy blasphemies which thou hast spoken against the mountains of Israel, saying, they are laid desolate, they are given us to consume.

13 Thus with your mouth ye have boasted against me, and have multiplied your words against me: I have heard them.

14 Thus saith the Lord God; when the whole earth rejoiceth, I will make thee desolate.

15 As thou didst rejoice at the inheritance of the house of Israel, because it was desolate, so will I do unto thee: thou shalt be desolate, O mount Seir, and all Edom, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
