False Jews: Edomites & European Converts
In the time of Nebuchadnezzar II the Edomites may have helped plunder Jerusalem and slaughter the Judaeans in 587 or 586 BCE (Psalms 137:7; Obadiah 1:11–14). Some believe that it is for this reason the prophets denounced Edom (Isaiah 34:5–8; Jeremiah 49:7–22; Obadiah passim).
Evidence also suggests that at that time Edom may have engaged in a treaty betrayal of Judah.[48] The people of Edom would be dealt with during the Messiah's rulership, according to the prophets.
Regarding the territory of Edom, the book of Jeremiah states that "no one will live there, nor will anyone of mankind reside in it"
The world can not for very much longer deny the true identity of the Biblical Israelites. Excavated archeology, unbiased and unadulterated history, various confessions from Israeli’s, Arabs, Egyptians, and Europeans, and last but not least Biblical prophecy all clearly and without doubt, reveals that the true, historic, Biblical Israelites, are a black people that have been scattered into slavery and cursed by God.
God told the nation of Israel that one of their many curses for disobedience would be that he would cause their “identity to cease from among men” (Deuteronomy 32).
This lost of identity culminated around 70 A.D. when Titus besieged Jerusalem and the hebrews of the land were either killed or displaced into Africa before being dispersed into all nations (via the slave trades) as prophesied by Jesus in Luke 21:24.
Israel’s captivity and lost of identity paved the way for another group of people to steal and appropriate the identity of the true, black Israelites that have been scattered into captivity and cursed by God.
This treacherous and abominable event is why the world does not know who the true Israelites are.
Thankfully, nothing can be hidden from God and since he has told the end from the beginning, he has revealed, uncovered, and exposed the perpetrators of his chosen people all throughout the Bible and History.
Let us look at the words of Jesus himself, to prove this:
Revelation 2:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
It is clear that there are a group of people purporting to be the Biblical, original Jews, when in reality, they are not. Since we are dealing with identity, it is imperative that we examine history to assist us in unveiling who these purporting Jews really are. There are two main branches of lying “Jews” in the world today:
1) Edomites (Jacob’s twin brother) – a SEMITIC (non-European) group of people who stole Jacob’s (Israel) identity as prophesied in the Bible.
2) Ashkenazi Jews/Khazars – a group of Europeans who converted to Judaism (not Esau).
In 1982, Ella J. Hughley wrote a book called “The Truth About Black Biblical Hebrew-Israelites Jews: the Worlds Best Kept Secret.” Hughley’s chapter, “The White European Jews” was compelling and thought provoking as it aimed at answering questions such as:
1) Who are the White European Jews?
2) When did they convert to Judaism?
3) Are the “Jews” a race?
These questions are of utmost importance. Hughley writes, “Esau is the father of the white (in color but not in nationality) Edomites, also known as Idumeans, who, with other ethnic groups such as the Khazars (white Europeans/Caucasians) and others, make up modern Jewry as it is known today” (p. 35). “Khazars” are Southern Turkish Europeans who came into Israel after the Israelites were kicked out.
Hugely is not alone in her findings. The Hungarian-British author and journalist, Arthur Koestler published a book entitled, “The Thirteenth Tribe” in 1976. Koestler argued that the Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of the Khazars rather than biblical Israelites. Hughley references Koestler in this chapter.
In 2008, Israeli professor of History at Tel Aviv University, Shlomo Sand published “The Invention of the Jewish People”. Originally in Hebrew, his work (2008) proved that people commonly known as Jewish, never really existed as a ‘nation-race’ with a biblical origin, but rather they consist of descendants from the medieval Eurasian state of Khazaria.
He mentions how they adopted the customs known as Judaism today. Genesis 10, commonly known as the “Table of Nations”, traces the lineage of the European converts to Noah’s son, Japheth whose descendants are commonly referred to as “Gentiles” in the bible but by historians as the “Indo-European stock”.
As for the Khazar’s conversion, “The Khazars (white Europeans/Japhetic in origins) converted to Judaism in 740 A.D. According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, (Vol. V, (1904), p 41), the Khazars are “A people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews in Russia . . . Historical evidence points to the region of the Urals as the home of the Chazars”.
Ashkenazi Jewish author and historian, the late Arthur Koestler agrees that the large majority of Jews are of Khazar and not Semitic origin. “That their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan, but from the Caucasus; . . . and that genetically they are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur and Magyar tribes than to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”.
Historian H.G. Wells states, “. . . the Idumeans (Edomites) were . . . made Jews, . . . and a Turkish people (Khazars) were mainly Jews in South Russia . . . The main part of Jewry never was in Judea and had never come out of Judea” (The Outline of History, 3rd Edition., p 494).
Esau is not “The White Man” aka European
Jacob-Esau-Resized
It is important to note that contrary to popular belief the Ashkenazi/Khazar’s are GENTILES and are NOT EDOM/ESAU like many tend to believe. It is also important to understand that ESAU (not the European convert jews) are the the current day ISRAELI’S and are responsible for stealing Israel’s identity.
Esau is a descendant from Isaac and twin brother of Jacob in Genesis 25, which makes him Semitic.
The White Man (Gentiles) comes from Japheth in Genesis 10
This is one of the reasons why people call Esau, the White Man:
In Hebrew, the word Ashkenazi means “German” and the term is used for Jews of Eastern European origin who historically spoke the Yiddish or Judeo-German language. Arthur Koestler’s “Thirteenth Tribe” narrative motivated a few biologists like Dr. Eran Elhaik to likewise claim that contemporary Jews are Khazars, not the Israelite descendants of Abraham and Sarah. (Hitler’s Doubles, Peter Fotis Kapnistos, p. 157)
However, you don’t have to make Esau out to be Gentiles to prove that they are not Israelites. When we understand the Bible we realize that people are not “mixed” or “bi-racial”, rather we are all simply whatever nationality our Father is. Like Timothy was a Greek even tho his mother was a Jew which is just like Bob Marley who was a Gentile because his father was a white man even tho his mother was black.
Therefore, we should not get caught up on color. This whole thing is not about color, it is about nationality. Color does not mean anything because genetically speaking, Israel – a dark skinned people are more closely linked to Esau who is considered “red” than to Hamites (Africans) who are also dark skinned.
Furthermore, the Edomites and Gentiles understand that they are not the same group of people. Thus, it is only misinformed people that confuse the two groups. That is why the Edomites will label white people as anti-semitic and call them racist slurs like honkey’s and that is why many white Nationalists are anti-Jewish and are apart of controversial organizations such as the American Nazi party.
The below article – DNA Samples Confirm Ashkenazi Jews are from European Descent” shows us that Ashkenazi Jews maternal/mother lineage comes from Europe. But they are of Edom descendants because you are what you father is, therefore they are not Gentiles.
When Edom disappeared from history around 70 AD the Edomites migrated to Europe. It is only around 1948 that many of them moved into the state of Israel which was created by the “White Men” of Britain and the United Nations.
So if the false theory of the Jews being mostly Khazar or Ashkenazi (Gentiles) is true, then you should ask yourself, where are the Edomites? Because the Lord said that the Edomites are the ones that occupy the Promised Land.
Jeremiah 49:10
King James Version (KJV)
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
This article from the Science World Report shows the migration of the Edomites and how they travelled into Europe and took wives from the Europeans which is also another reason why they look similar to Europeans even tho they are not Europeans.
Now that we know who the European Jews mainly consist of, let us turn to the main perpetrators of Israel’s identity, the Israeli’s that call themselves Jews and do lie, are none other than Jacob’s semitic twin brother, Esau/Edom aka Idumeans.
To understand this appropriation in its totality we must refer back to the prophets of the Bible and the history of Jacob and Esau as recorded in Genesis 25-27.
While pregnant, the God of Israel told their mother Rebekah that she had two separate nations (one would be black and the other red and hairy) in her womb and that the Elder would serve the younger. Edom (the elder) ended up selling his birthright to Jacob for some red pottage.
Many theologians and writers on this topic erroneously infer that Jacob stole Esau’s birthright. However, this is a false assertion that is cleared up with the scriptures.
It is very clear that enmity existed between these two brothers while they were in the womb (Genesis 25:22-23). More importantly, Jacob did not steal Esau’s birthright as it is explicitly recorded twice in the bible that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob in Genesis 25:31-33 and Hebrews 12:16.
We do not read that Jacob stole Esau’s birthright, we read that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.
Yet, even after he sold his birthright/blessing, he still tried to receive the blessing from Isaac that went to Jacob which shows his cunningness.
Even though Esau did not receive his birthright he did receive another blessing from Isaac which included him inheriting the fatness (or wealth) of the earth, which is why they are known to be inherently wealthy, bankers, financiers, money changers, and control many of the wealthiest Western industries such as Hollywood.
Jacob (the younger), ended up receiving the birthright which included his name being changed to Israel (Genesis 32:24-28), inheriting the land of Canaan (Exodus 3:6-10), and being commissioned as a holy nation of priests and kings to all kindred’s and tongues (Exodus 19:5-6).
They entered into a covenant with God and God promised that if they would obey Him and keep his commandments that their land, sustenance, children, and all that they owned and did would be blessed (Deuteronomy 28:1-14).
However, if they were to disobey God and break his commandments then he would curse their entire nation with affliction, oppression, and disease, remove them from the Promised Land and scatter them into slavery throughout the world by way of slave ships (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). Unfortunately for the nation of Israel, they choose to rebel against God and break his commandments.
Therefore, he put them under the divine curse that he forewarned them of (Daniel 9). The curses of Israel which include deplorable socio-economic conditions in slavery as well as their physical description proves that the Edomites or the one’s claiming to be Jews today are not the Biblical Israelites.
The Edomites took advantage of their brother’s destruction and since they have always thought that they deserved the birthright which they sold, they used this opportunity to appropriate Jacob’s land, heritage and identity.

There is a great deal of historic sources that explain the gradual process of how the Edomites converted to what is known as Judaism, occupied the land of Israel, and eventually became known as the biblical Israelites.
For the Edomites, this process started as early as the 6th century B.C.E. as a result of forced migration by the hands of the Nabateans (who are reported a Northern Arabian tribe).
They were driven out of their own land commonly known as Idumea and inhabited Southern Judea. How were they able to occupy Southern Judah? God had foretold that the Israelites would be taken into captivity by the Babylonians for 70 years (Jeremiah 25:3-12).
During this time, the Edomites were forced out of their land by the Nabateans and started to settle in Southern Judah. Eventually, Cyrus, the king of Persia, proclaims an edict that allows Israel to go back into Judah and rebuild the third temple after their 70 year captivity in Babylon (Ezra 1:1-3).
When Israel returned to Judah after their 70 year captivity, they were cut of from Hebron because the Edomites had established themselves there. This was the beginning of their identity theft.
Atlas of the Bible, p. 148 – The Return :
“At some point, but no later than 522BC, a second great group of Babylonian Jews came to Jerusalem and then settled, each to his own town. The list of these towns in Ezra 2:2-35 and Nehemiah 7:6-38, indicate that the returning of Jews, established themselves in an area, roughly 40 miles east to west by 30 miles north to south in the hill country of Judah. On the east, they extended to the Jordan valley around Jericho, while to the west, they penetrated the coastal plain, settling in Lod and Ono. To the North, they reached beyond the old border of Judah to Bethel. In the South, they held strategic sites of Beth-Zur, but were cut off from Hebron, which was in the hands of the Edomites. Although the area was small, the Jews controlled vital approaches to the highlands. Yet, they could not be secure until Jerusalem, the leading city and place of ultimate refuge was refortified.”
The Sarcophagus of an Ancient Civilization: Petra, Edom, and the Edomites (Idumeans) p. 369-370 – History of the Idumeans.:
“Judea and Idumea, (Sir) George Adam Smith (theologian and historian) made Idumea of that time, to include the southern shepolah, with the Negev. Adding that the Edomites had come upon it during the Jewish exile and after the return of the Jews, they continued to hold the greater part of it. Whatever the extent of Idumea originally may have been, it is certain that when the sons of Esau came into Palestine in the 6th century BC, they settled in close juxtaposition and stood face to face with their age old brothers and rivals, the sons of Jacob. Whether Cyrus in 536 BC dislodged them from certain parts of Judah in order to give the returning exiles of Israel a foothold, we do not know.
But it is more likely as Ewald observed three quarters of a century ago, that this monarch was by no means prepared to expel the Idumeans from the land which they had already occupied and cultivated for 50 or 60 years. On the other hand, the prophet Malachi points to them as the object of Jehovah’s displeasure in his day as a people; “Against whom Jehovah had indication forever, Saying Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated”. By which He probably meant that the Israelites have already been brought back from captivity but the Edomites are still in exile, having been expelled by the Nabateans. During all of the centuries of their occupation of Judah, the Jews regarded them with suspicion.
Their unbrotherly treatment of them on the occasion of Jerusalem’s downfall in 586 BC was never forgotten. In 164 BC, Judas Maccabee’s fought them with triumphant success. Less than 50 years thereafter, John Hyrcanus completely conquered them, not only wrestling from them two of their most powerful strongholds, Adorah and Maresha, and placing them under a Jewish governor, but compelling them also to submit to circumcision and the Jewish law.”
In an article on “Edom”, the Jewish Encyclopdia (1925 edition), has this statement: ”(In 163BC) Judas Maccabeus conquered their territory for a time. They were again subdued by John Hyrcanus (about 125 BC), by whom they were forced to observe Jewish rites and laws.
They were then incorporated with the Jewish nation, and their country was called by the Greeks and Romans, “Idumea.” With Antipater began the Idumean dynasty that ruled over Judea till its conquest by the Romans . . . From this time the Idumeans ceased to be a separate people . . .”
So a hundred years before Christ, Judah was inhabited by Edomites and native Israelites who were both followers of Talmudic Judaism, seeming to heal the breach between Jacob and Esau. But the Edomites proved to be a discordant element. And in 37BC, Herod the Great (74-4BC), an Idumean or Edomite whose wife Mariamne was a Maccabean, became at the age of 36, undisputed ruler of Judea.
The Pharisees gained ascendancy over the Sadducees, and there were so many Edomites in the population at the time of Christ that the land was called Idumea (Mark 3:8). The Edomites participated in the defence of Jerusalem against the Romans during Titus’ siege (AD66-70).
According to The Jewish Encyclopedia (1904, Vol. V, p 41), “Immediately before the siege of Jerusalem 20,000 Idumeans appeared before Jerusalem to fight in behalf of the Zealots who were besieged in the Temple”. More than a million inhabitants of Judea died and 97,000 were taken captive. An unknown number had fled either before or during the siege.
Drawing on the record of Flavius Josephus’ The Great Roman Jewish War: 70 A.D. we are informed that Hasmonean leader, John Hyracanus conquered the entire land of Edom “and undertook the forced conversion of its inhabitants to Judaism”.
This is when the Edomites became a section of the Jewish people. Josephus also points out that the tyrannical king Herod was in fact an Edomite who was appointed king of Judea by the Romans in 40 B.C.E. and by 6 B.C.E., “Edom became part of the Roman province of Judea” (p. 43-44).
they left black
In 70 A.D., they assisted the Romans to help Emperor Titus besiege Jerusalem, and as a result many Israelites were crucified, starved, and to escape persecution almost all of the Jews fled into North Africa.
Luke 21:20-24
King James Version (KJV)
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Arch_of_Titus_Menorah
The last Two Million Years, pg. 87 – Faith survives the dispersion:
“The crucifixion of Jesus about AD 30 did not end Jewish resistance to the Roman occupation. In 70, when the country was again in a state of revolt, Jerusalem, the holy city, became the core of resistance to the Romans. Titus, the son of Emperor Vespasian preceded to lay siege to Jerusalem. The city fall and the inhabitants were enslaved in their thousands and dispersed throughout the Mediterranean world. This was the first dispersion and worse was yet to follow. Continual insurrections and revolts again Roman rule led to the total destruction of Jerusalem in 135. The city was renamed Aelia Capitolina and all Jews were prohibited from entering it. A second and more important dispersion not took place and the whole of Judea was renamed, Palestine.”
Once the Roman siege and occupation of Israel took place – in which the Edomites helped to achieve – they were able to completely inhabit the land of Israel.
Obadiah 1-3, 8-15
King James Version (KJV)
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Edom/Esau/Idumean disappears from Geography and History in 70 A.D. – The same year that Rome sieges Jerusalem and the Biblical Israelites go into captivity! This was able to take place because they moved into the land of Israel!
Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary p. 233-234 – Edom:
“Edomites, the nation and its people who are descendants of Esau. He founded the country, so his name is equated with Edom. The country was also called Sier or Mount Sier, which was the name of the territory in which the Edomites lived. The mountain and the plateau area between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. About 100 miles long and up to 40 miles wide. The Edomites were also subject to Babylon. Under the Persian Empire, Edom became a province called Idumea, the Greek form of Edom. In 325 BC, an Arab tribe known as the Nabateans, conquered the Eastern part of Edom’s territory. In Maccabean times, John Hyrcanus subdued the Idumeans and forced them to accept Judaism. When the Romans took over Palestine, the Edomites also were included. From Idumea came Antipater, the Father of Herod the Great. He became pro-curator of Judea. After the destruction of Jerusalem, by the Romans, in 70 AD, the Idumeans disappeared from history.

“Meaning Red, the name given to Esau on account of the red pottage secured by him by his brother Jacob. The name was also given to the country settled by Esau, having been previously known as Mount. Seir. It was about one hundred miles long and twenty miles wide, and was situated between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, in land from the Red Sea. Bozrah, now Busaira, situated in the extreme northern part, was the chief city and the capital. During the reigns of David and Solomon, Edom was under subjection to the Israelites. Later, the Edomites ravaged the southern borders of Palestine and were denounced with considerable vehemence, by some of the prophets of Israel. After the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, the name of Edom or Idumea disappeared from Geography.”

Edom was able to disappear from history after the Roman conquest of Jerusalem because the indigenous Israelites were subdued, removed from their land, and sent into slavery.
King David prophecies about the confederacy that Esau (Israeli’s) and Ishmael (Palestinians) conspired in order to distort the memory of Israel (they have done this because the masses do not know who the true Israelites are), remove them from their land, and take the land of Israel for their own possession.
Esau and Ishmael are rivals and the only time they have agreed was when they are working together to take Israel’s name out of existence.

King James Version (KJV)
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;

God foretold that Edom (Mt. Sier) would possess the land of Israel and say that Israel and Judah belonged to them! This was fulfilled in 1982.
Ezekiel 35
King James Version (KJV)
35 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 Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Menachem Begin
Sun Times Article, September 9th, 1982 – “West Bank forever vows Begin”:
“Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin vehemently rejected president Reagan’s Middle East peace initiative Wednesday, and declared that the occupied West Bank will be for the Jewish people for all generations. Pounding the podium for emphasis, Begin told the tumultuous session of the parliament, that Reagan’s plan was “unacceptable because it would endanger our lives, our homeland, the lands of our fathers, and sons”… “The world will witness whose dedication will win” Begin said, “if someone tried to take Judea and Samaria, the West Bank from us, we will tell him, Judea and Samaria for the Jewish people for all generations”.
This is why Jesus exposed the blasphemous Edomites who have appropriated the identity of the true Jews!!
Revelation 3:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
CONCLUSION:
The Edomites and Khazars, along with many other Indo-European ethnic groups, make up modern Jewery.
Christians and non-Christians need to realize that the people who are in the land of Israel today are not the Hebrews or Jews of the Bible and therefore, they should not be supported and more importantly they should not be followed spiritually because as seen above they are the synagogue of Satan which means that they are not worshipping God.
Although the black Hebrew-Israelites are the real descendants of ancient Israel and God’s chosen people that the world must follow for salvation, this truth is not known by many and it is the world’s best kept secret.
the kingship of Edom was, at least in early times, not hereditary, perhaps elective.
The first book of Chronicles mentions both a king and chieftains.
Moses and the Israelite people twice appealed to their common ancestry and asked the king of Edom for passage through his land, along the "King's Highway", on their way to Canaan, but the king refused permission.
Accordingly, they detoured around the country because of his show of force or because God ordered them to do so rather than wage war (Deuteronomy 2:4–6). The King of Edom did not attack the Israelites, though he prepared to resist aggression.
Nothing further is recorded of the Edomites in the Tanakh until their defeat by King Saul of Israel in the late 11th century BC (1 Samuel 14:47).
Forty years later King David and his general Joab defeated the Edomites in the "Valley of Salt" (probably near the Dead Sea; 2 Samuel 8:13–14; 1 Kings 9:15–16). An Edomite prince named Hadad escaped and fled to Egypt, and after David's death returned and tried to start a rebellion, but failed and went to Syria (Aramea).
From that time Edom remained a vassal of Israel.
David placed over the Edomites Israelite governors or prefects, and this form of government seems to have continued under Solomon.
When Israel divided into two kingdoms Edom became a dependency of the Kingdom of Judah. In the time of Jehoshaphat (c. 870 – 849 BC) the Tanakh mentions a king of Edom, who was probably an Israelite deputy appointed by the King of Judah. It also states that the inhabitants of Mount Seir invaded Judea in conjunction with Ammon and Moab, and that the invaders turned against one another and were all destroyed (2 Chronicles 20:10–23).
Edom revolted against Jehoram and elected a king of its own (2 Kings 8:20–22; 2 Chronicles 21:8).
Amaziah attacked and defeated the Edomites, seizing Selah, but the Israelites never subdued Edom completely (2 Kings 14:7; 2 Chronicles 25:11–12).
Costs of the 20-year war on terror: $8 trillion and 900,000 deaths
A report from the Costs of War project at Brown University revealed that 20 years of post-9/11 wars have cost the U.S. an estimated $8 trillion and have killed more than 900,000 people.
PROVIDENCE, R.I. [Brown University] — Nearly 20 years after the United States’ invasion of Afghanistan, the cost of its global war on terror stands at $8 trillion and 900,000 deaths, according to a new report from the Costs of War project at Brown University.
The Costs of War project, founded more than a decade ago at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs and co-directed by two Brown scholars, released its influential annual report ahead of the 20th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Pennsylvania, the impetus for an ongoing American effort to root out terrorism in the Middle East and beyond.

“The war has been long and complex and horrific and unsuccessful... and the war continues in over 80 countries,” said Catherine Lutz, co-director of Costs of War and a professor of international and public affairs at Brown, during a virtual event hosted by the Watson Institute on Wednesday, Sept. 1. “The Pentagon and the U.S. military have now absorbed the great majority of the federal discretionary budget, and most people don’t know that. Our task, now and in future years, is to educate the public on the ways in which we fund those wars and the scale of that funding.”
The research team’s $8 trillion estimate accounts for all direct costs of the country’s post-9/11 wars, including Department of Defense Overseas Contingency Operations funding; State Department war expenditures and counterterror war-related costs, including war-related increases to the Pentagon’s base budget; care for veterans to date and in the future; Department of Homeland Security spending; and interest payments on borrowing for these wars. The total includes funds that the Biden administration requested in May 2021.
The death toll, standing at an estimated 897,000 to 929,000, includes U.S. military members, allied fighters, opposition fighters, civilians, journalists and humanitarian aid workers who were killed as a direct result of war, whether by bombs, bullets or fire. It does not, the researchers noted, include the many indirect deaths the war on terror has caused by way of disease, displacement and loss of access to food or clean drinking water.
“The deaths we tallied are likely a vast undercount of the true toll these wars have taken on human life,” said Neta Crawford, a co-founder of the project and a professor of political science at Boston University. “It’s critical we properly account for the vast and varied consequences of the many U.S. wars and counterterror operations since 9/11, as we pause and reflect on all of the lives lost.”
“ Twenty years from now, we’ll still be reckoning with the high societal costs of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars — long after U.S. forces are gone. ”

The report comes at the end of a contentious U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, where Taliban insurgents captured every major city and seized governmental control as American military units worked to extract 123,000 troops, diplomats and allies. Of the $8 trillion, $2.3 trillion is attributed to the Afghanistan/Pakistan war zone, according to the report.
In an address to the nation on Tuesday, Aug. 31, President Joe Biden cited Costs of War estimates to convey the financial and human burden of the 20-year war in Afghanistan as he defended his decision to withdraw from the country.
“We no longer had a clear purpose in an open-ended mission in Afghanistan,” Biden said. “After more than $2 trillion spent in Afghanistan, costs that Brown University researchers estimated would be over $300 million a day for 20 years — yes, the American people should hear this... what have we lost as a consequence, in terms of opportunities? ...I refuse to send America’s sons and daughters to fight a war that should have ended long ago.”
Even as the U.S. exits Afghanistan, Costs of War estimates show that Americans are far from done paying the bill on the war on terror, which continues across multiple continents. The cumulative cost of military intervention in the Iraq/Syria war zone has risen to $2.1 trillion since 9/11, and about $355 billion more has funded military presence in other countries, including Somalia and a handful of African countries.
And when the wars do end, the costs of war will continue to rise, the report notes: A towering $2.2 trillion of the estimated financial total accounts for future care that has already been set aside for military veterans, the researchers said, and the U.S. and other countries could pay the cost of environmental damage wrought by the wars for generations to come.
“What have we truly accomplished in 20 years of post-9/11 wars and at what price?” said Stephanie Savell, co-director of the Costs of War Project and a senior research associate at the Watson Institute. “Twenty years from now, we’ll still be reckoning with the high societal costs of the Afghanistan and Iraq wars — long after U.S. forces are gone.”
The Watson Institute’s virtual event included commentary from multiple researchers associated with the Costs of War Project, U.S. Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., and U.S. Reps. Barbara Lee, D-Calif., David Cicilline, D-R.I., and Ro Khanna, D-Calif. It was moderated by Murtaza Hussain, a national security reporter at the Intercept.
The terrorist attacks on the US on September 11, 2001, can be considered a watershed moment in the 21st Century. Its importance in defining the future course of global events is, perhaps, on par with the Russian revolution or the fall of Nazi Germany and atomic annihilation of Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Two major wars, interventions by the US and NATO in numerous other countries, rise of new terror outfits and new geopolitical alliances and rivalries have marked the responses to 9/11 in the past 20 years.
In 2010, a group of scholars at the Watson Institute for International and Public Affairs at Brown University in Rhode Island began work to chronicle the costs of the US interventions in Iraq and Afghanistan and related violence in Pakistan and Syria. The team, called 'The Costs of War Project', recently released figures of the costs incurred by the US and others in responding to 9/11.
The budgetary costs of the post-9/11 wars incurred by the US federal government was estimated by The Costs of War team to be over $8 trillion. Successive US governments, including the Joe Biden administration, have sought $5.8 trillion to react to the 9/11 attacks. This includes expenditure on war zones, homeland security and interest payments on war borrowing.
"The research team’s $8 trillion estimate accounts for all direct costs of the country’s post-9/11 wars, including Department of Defense Overseas Contingency Operations funding; State Department war expenditures and counterterror war-related costs, including war-related increases to the Pentagon’s base budget; care for veterans to date and in the future; Department of Homeland Security spending; and interest payments on borrowing for these wars," Brown University said in a statement.
Future medical care and disability payments for veterans would likely exceed $2.2 trillion, according to The Costs of War project, making for a figure of about $8 trillion in current dollars. The Costs of War project noted the figure of $8 trillion does not include the money spent on humanitarian assistance and development in Afghanistan and Iraq or expenditure by US allies.
Death toll
The Costs of War project notes the death toll in the wars after 9/11 is between 897,000 to 929,000 people. This includes "US military members, allied fighters, opposition fighters, civilians, journalists and humanitarian aid workers who were killed as a direct result of war, whether by bombs, bullets or fire".

A total of 7,052 US military personnel have died in the post-9/11 conflicts, with Iraq (4,598 deaths) and Afghanistan (2,324) accounting for the most fatalities. Highlighting the role played by private 'contractors' in the conflicts, a total of 8,189 contractors have lost their lives in these conflicts. Again, Afghanistan (3,917 deaths) and Iraq (3,650) account for the most fatalities.
Civilians account for the largest category of deaths. Civilian fatalities are estimated to be between 363,939 to 387,072, with Iraq accounting for approximately 208,964 deaths, the highest figure for a single country.
Refugees
The post-9/11 conflicts have led to around 38 million people being displaced. Since 2001, 5.9 million people have been displaced in Afghanistan and 3.7 million in Pakistan. Over 9 million people have been displaced in Iraq since 2003, while over 7.1 million have been displaced in Syria since 2014.
The Costs of War project states this figure exceeds people displaced in all conflicts since 1900, with the exception of the Second World War. The researchers caution the figure of 38 million is a "conservative" estimate, noting the the actual number could be closer to 49 million-60 million, rivalling the refugee numbers seen in the Second World War.
On September 10, 2001, then U.S. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld disclosed that his department was unable to account for roughly $2.3 trillion worth of transactions. The next day, the U.S. sustained the terrorist attacks that changed the world, and this startling revelation was forgotten.
When an account discrepancy occurs that cannot be traced, it’s customary to make what is called an “un-documentable adjustment.” This is similar to when your checkbook balance is off by, say, ten dollars; you add or subtract that amount to make everything balance with the bank. In 1999, the amount that the Pentagon adjusted was eight times the Defense Department budget for that year; it was one-third greater than the entire federal budget.
By 2015, the amount reported missing by the Office of the Inspector General had increased to $6.5 trillion—and that was just for the army. Using public data from federal databases, Mark Skidmore, a professor of economics at Michigan State University, found that $21 trillion in unsupported adjustments had been reported by the Defense and Housing and Urban Development departments between 1998 and 2015. That’s about $65,000 for every American.
There is no sign that the government’s internal auditors have made much headway in finding the missing money. Jim Minnery of the Defense Finance and Accounting Service traveled the country in 2002 looking for documents on just $300 million worth of unrecorded spending. “We know it’s gone. But we don’t know what they spent it on,” he said. He was reassigned after suggesting that higher-ups covered up the problem by writing it off. He’s not the only who thinks so. “The books are cooked routinely year after year,” says former defense analyst Franklin C. Spinney.
According to a 2013 Reuters report, the Pentagon is the only federal agency that has not complied with a 1996 law that requires annual audits of all government departments. The Pentagon has spent tens of billions of dollars to upgrade to more efficient technology in order to become audit-ready. But many of these new systems have failed and been scrapped.
Predictably, the government did not race to correct the problem even after investigators sounded the alarm. Skidmore contacted the Office of the Inspector General but was not permitted to speak to anyone who had worked on the corruption report. Both the Congressional Budget Office and the Government Accountability Office assured him that congressional hearings would have been held if there was a significant problem. When Rumsfeld eventually did appear before Congress in March 2005, his testimony offered no substantive answers.
In short: the military doesn’t know how its budget is being spent. The “total military expenditures” that analysts so confidently cite are whatever the Treasury Department says they are, and the individual line items, at least for the army, are for the most part unknown. If money is being diverted from the armed forces, the losses are degrading our defense capability in ways difficult to observe. The same is true on a smaller scale for the Department of Housing and Urban Development, where billions in missing expenditures could have gone to support the perennially cash-strapped federal mortgage-loan program, and possibly other unrelated programs, without congressional knowledge or approval.
Though each passing year diminishes the likelihood that already-disbursed funds will be tracked down, Americans should insist on a renewed effort to rein in future discrepancies. The Trump presidency presents a fresh chance to prioritize accountability, and the president campaigned on robust military spending and reducing government waste. With congressional cooperation, the president should ask the secretaries of the Departments of Defense and of Housing and Urban Development to testify about any misplaced spending, and commission new independent audits of their expenses. This ongoing mismanagement of the public trust—and public dollars—is possibly the greatest silent scandal in America today.
If it were measured as a country, then cybercrime — which is predicted to inflict damages totaling $6 trillion USD globally in 2021 — would be the world’s third-largest economy after the U.S. and China.
Cybersecurity Ventures expects global cybercrime costs to grow by 15 percent per year over the next five years, reaching $10.5 trillion USD annually by 2025, up from $3 trillion USD in 2015. This represents the greatest transfer of economic wealth in history, risks the incentives for innovation and investment, is exponentially larger than the damage inflicted from natural disasters in a year, and will be more profitable than the global trade of all major illegal drugs combined.
The damage cost estimation is based on historical cybercrime figures including recent year-over-year growth, a dramatic increase in hostile nation-state sponsored and organized crime gang hacking activities, and a cyberattack surface which will be an order of magnitude greater in 2025 than it is today.
Cybercrime costs include damage and destruction of data, stolen money, lost productivity, theft of intellectual property, theft of personal and financial data, embezzlement, fraud, post-attack disruption to the normal course of business, forensic investigation, restoration and deletion of hacked data and systems, and reputational harm.
The United States, the world’s largest economy with a nominal GDP of nearly $21.5 trillion, constitutes one-fourth of the world economy, according to data from Nasdaq.
Cybercrime has hit the U.S. so hard that in 2018 a supervisory special agent with the FBI who investigates cyber intrusions told The Wall Street Journal that every American citizen should expect that all of their data (personally identifiable information) has been stolen and is on the dark web — a part of the deep web — which is intentionally hidden and used to conceal and promote heinous activities. Some estimates put the size of the deep web (which is not indexed or accessible by search engines) at as much as 5,000 times larger than the surface web, and growing at a rate that defies quantification.
The dark web is also where cybercriminals buy and sell malware, exploit kits, and cyberattack services, which they use to strike victims — including businesses, governments, utilities, and essential service providers on U.S. soil.
A cyberattack could potentially disable the economy of a city, state or our entire country.
In his 2016 New York Times bestseller — Lights Out: A Cyberattack, A Nation Unprepared, Surviving the Aftermath — Ted Koppel reveals that a major cyberattack on America’s power grid is not only possible but likely, that it would be devastating, and that the U.S. is shockingly unprepared.
Billionaire businessman and philanthropist Warren Buffet calls cybercrime the number one problem with mankind, and cyberattacks a bigger threat to humanity than nuclear weapons.
A bullseye is squarely on our nation’s businesses.
Organized cybercrime entities are joining forces, and their likelihood of detection and prosecution is estimated to be as low as 0.05 percent in the U.S., according to the World Economic Forum’s 2020 Global Risk Report.
RANSOMWARE
Ransomware — a malware that infects computers (and mobile devices) and restricts their access to files, often threatening permanent data destruction unless a ransom is paid — has reached epidemic proportions globally and is the “go-to method of attack” for cybercriminals.
A 2017 report from Cybersecurity Ventures predicted ransomware damages would cost the world $5 billion in 2017, up from $325 million in 2015 — a 15X increase in just two years. The damages for 2018 were estimated at $8 billion, and for 2019 the figure rose to $11.5 billion.
The latest forecast is for global ransomware damage costs to reach $20 billion by 2021 — which is 57X more than it was in 2015.
We predict there will be a ransomware attack on businesses every 11 seconds by 2021, up from every 40 seconds in 2016.
The FBI is particularly concerned with ransomware hitting healthcare providers, hospitals, 911 and first responders. These types of cyberattacks can impact the physical safety of American citizens, and this is the forefront of what Herb Stapleton, FBI cyber division section chief, and his team are focused on.
Last month, ransomware claimed its first life. German authorities reported a ransomware attack caused the failure of IT systems at a major hospital in Duesseldorf, and a woman who needed urgent admission died after she had to be taken to another city for treatment.
Ransomware, now the fastest growing and one of the most damaging types of cybercrime, will ultimately convince senior executives to take the cyber threat more seriously, according to Mark Montgomery, executive director at the U.S. Cyberspace Solarium Commission (CSC) — but he hopes it doesn’t come to that.
CYBER ATTACK SURFACE
The modern definition of the word “hack” was coined at MIT in April 1955. The first known mention of computer (phone) hacking occurred in a 1963 issue of The Tech. Over the past fifty-plus years, the world’s attack surface has evolved from phone systems to a vast datasphere outpacing humanity’s ability to secure it.
In 2013, IBM proclaimed data promises to be for the 21st century what steam power was for the 18th, electricity for the 19th and hydrocarbons for the 20th.
“We believe that data is the phenomenon of our time,” said Ginni Rometty, IBM Corp.’s executive chairman, in 2015, addressing CEOs, CIOs and CISOs from 123 companies in 24 industries at a conference in New York City. “It is the world’s new natural resource. It is the new basis of competitive advantage, and it is transforming every profession and industry. If all of this is true — even inevitable — then cyber crime, by definition, is the greatest threat to every profession, every industry, every company in the world.”
The world will store 200 zettabytes of data by 2025, according to Cybersecurity Ventures. This includes data stored on private and public IT infrastructures, on utility infrastructures, on private and public cloud data centers, on personal computing devices — PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones — and on IoT (Internet-of-Things) devices.
As a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, nearly half the U.S. labor force is working from home, according to Stanford University. As employees generate, access, and share more data remotely through cloud apps, the number of security blind spots balloons.
It’s predicted that the total amount of data stored in the cloud — which includes public clouds operated by vendors and social media companies (think Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Twitter, etc.), government-owned clouds that are accessible to citizens and businesses, private clouds owned by mid-to-large-sized corporations, and cloud storage providers — will reach 100 zettabytes by 2025, or 50 percent of the world’s data at that time, up from approximately 25 percent stored in the cloud in 2015.
Roughly one million more people join the internet every day. We expect there will be 6 billion people connected to the internet interacting with data in 2022, up from 5 billion in 2020 — and more than 7.5 billion internet users in 2030.
Cyber threats have expanded from targeting and harming computers, networks, and smartphones — to people, cars, railways, planes, power grids and anything with a heartbeat or an electronic pulse. Many of these Things are connected to corporate networks in some fashion, further complicating cybersecurity.
By 2023, there will be 3X more networked devices on Earth than humans, according to a report from Cisco. And by 2022, 1 trillion networked sensors will be embedded in the world around us, with up to 45 trillion in 20 years.
IP traffic has reached an annual run rate of 2.3 zettabytes in 2020, up from an annual run rate of 870.3 exabytes in 2015.
Data is the building block of the digitized economy, and the opportunities for innovation and malice around it are incalculable.
CYBERSECURITY SPENDING
In 2004, the global cybersecurity market was worth $3.5 billion — and in 2017 it was worth more than $120 billion. The cybersecurity market grew by roughly 35X during that 13-year period — prior to the latest market sizing by Cybersecurity Ventures.
Global spending on cybersecurity products and services for defending against cybercrime is projected to exceed $1 trillion cumulatively over the five-year period from 2017 to 2021.
“Most cybersecurity budgets at U.S. organizations are increasing linearly or flat, but the cyberattacks are growing exponentially,” says CSC’s Montgomery. This simple observation should be a wake-up call for C-suite executives.
Healthcare has lagged behind other industries and the tantalizing target on its back is attributable to outdated IT systems, fewer cybersecurity protocols and IT staff, extremely valuable data, and the pressing need for medical practices and hospitals to pay ransoms quickly to regain data. The healthcare industry will respond by spending $125 billion cumulatively from 2020 to 2025 to beef up its cyber defenses.
The FY 2020 U.S. President’s Budget includes $17.4 billion of budget authority for cybersecurity-related activities, a $790 million (5 percent) increase above the FY 2019 estimate, according to The White House. Due to the sensitive nature of some activities, this amount does not represent the entire cyber budget.
Cybersecurity Ventures anticipates 12-15 percent year-over-year cybersecurity market growth through 2025. While that may be a respectable increase, it pales in comparison to the cybercrime costs incurred.
SMALL BUSINESS
“There are 30 million small businesses in the U.S. that need to stay safe from phishing attacks, malware spying, ransomware, identity theft, major breaches and hackers who would compromise their security,” says Scott Schober, author of the popular books “Hacked Again” and “Cybersecurity Is Everybody’s Business.”
More than half of all cyberattacks are committed against small-to-midsized businesses (SMBs), and 60 percent of them go out of business within six months of falling victim to a data breach or hack.
66 percent of SMBs had at least one cyber incident in the past two years, according to Mastercard.
“Small and medium sized businesses lack the financial resources and skill set to combat the emerging cyber threat,” says Scott E. Augenbaum, former supervisory special agent at the FBI’s Cyber Division, Cyber Crime Fraud Unit, where he was responsible for managing the FBI’s Cyber Task Force Program and Intellectual Property Rights Program.
A Better Business Bureau survey found that for small businesses — which make up more than 97 percent of total businesses in North America — the primary challenges for more than 55 percent of them in order to develop a cybersecurity plan are a lack of resources or knowledge.
Ransomware attacks are of particular concern. “The cost of ransomware has skyrocketed and that’s a huge concern for small businesses — and it doesn’t look like there’s any end in sight,” adds Schober.
AI AUGMENTS CYBER DEFENDERS
You don’t bring a knife to a gunfight.
The U.S. has a total employed cybersecurity workforce consisting of nearly 925,000 people, and there are currently almost 510,000 unfilled positions, according to Cyber Seek, a project supported by the National Initiative for Cybersecurity Education (NICE), a program of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) in the U.S. Department of Commerce.
Faced with a domestic worker shortage, the heads of U.S. cyber defense forces — CIOs and CISOs at America’s mid-sized to largest businesses — are beginning to augment their staff with next-generation AI and ML (machine learning) software and appliances aimed at detecting cyber intruders. These AI systems are trained on big data sets collected over decades — and they can analyze terabytes of data per day, a scale unimaginable for humans.
The panacea for a CISO is an AI system resembling a human expert’s investigative and reporting techniques so that cyber threats are remediated BEFORE the damage is done.
If enemies are using AI to launch cyberattacks, then our country’s businesses need to use AI to defend themselves.
FOR THE BOARDROOM
Cybersecurity begins at the top.
CSC has an urgent message for boardroom and C-suite executives: The status quo in cyberspace is unacceptable, which is spelled out in its groundbreaking 2020 Report which proposes a strategy of layered cyber deterrence — to protect all U.S. businesses and governments from cybercrime and cyberwarfare. But, this is hardly the first warning. “Some of the same things we’re recommending today, we were pushing 23 years ago,” says Montgomery.
Someone should be in the boardroom who will wave the red flag and get everyone else paying attention to the severity of cyber risks. Montgomery says attention is the number one priority, not bringing in a new CISO — instead empower the CISO that you have.
The value of a business depends largely on how well it guards its data, the strength of its cybersecurity, and its level of cyber resilience.
If there’s one takeaway from this report, then let it be this: Don’t let your boardroom be the weakest cybersecurity link.
U.S. BUDGETARY COSTS The vast economic impact of the U.S. post-9/11 wars goes beyond the Pentagon's "Overseas Contigency Operations" (War) budget. This chart and the attached paper estimate the more comprehensive budgetary costs of the wars.

False Jews: Edomites & European Converts
In the time of Nebuchadnezzar II the Edomites may have helped plunder Jerusalem and slaughter the Judaeans in 587 or 586 BCE (Psalms 137:7; Obadiah 1:11–14). Some believe that it is for this reason the prophets denounced Edom (Isaiah 34:5–8; Jeremiah 49:7–22; Obadiah passim).
Evidence also suggests that at that time Edom may have engaged in a treaty betrayal of Judah.[48] The people of Edom would be dealt with during the Messiah's rulership, according to the prophets.
Regarding the territory of Edom, the book of Jeremiah states that "no one will live there, nor will anyone of mankind reside in it"
The world can not for very much longer deny the true identity of the Biblical Israelites. Excavated archeology, unbiased and unadulterated history, various confessions from Israeli’s, Arabs, Egyptians, and Europeans, and last but not least Biblical prophecy all clearly and without doubt, reveals that the true, historic, Biblical Israelites, are a black people that have been scattered into slavery and cursed by God.
God told the nation of Israel that one of their many curses for disobedience would be that he would cause their “identity to cease from among men” (Deuteronomy 32).
This lost of identity culminated around 70 A.D. when Titus besieged Jerusalem and the hebrews of the land were either killed or displaced into Africa before being dispersed into all nations (via the slave trades) as prophesied by Jesus in Luke 21:24.
Israel’s captivity and lost of identity paved the way for another group of people to steal and appropriate the identity of the true, black Israelites that have been scattered into captivity and cursed by God.
This treacherous and abominable event is why the world does not know who the true Israelites are.
Thankfully, nothing can be hidden from God and since he has told the end from the beginning, he has revealed, uncovered, and exposed the perpetrators of his chosen people all throughout the Bible and History.
Let us look at the words of Jesus himself, to prove this:
Revelation 2:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty, (but thou art rich) and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
Revelation 3:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
It is clear that there are a group of people purporting to be the Biblical, original Jews, when in reality, they are not. Since we are dealing with identity, it is imperative that we examine history to assist us in unveiling who these purporting Jews really are. There are two main branches of lying “Jews” in the world today:
1) Edomites (Jacob’s twin brother) – a SEMITIC (non-European) group of people who stole Jacob’s (Israel) identity as prophesied in the Bible.
2) Ashkenazi Jews/Khazars – a group of Europeans who converted to Judaism (not Esau).
In 1982, Ella J. Hughley wrote a book called “The Truth About Black Biblical Hebrew-Israelites Jews: the Worlds Best Kept Secret.” Hughley’s chapter, “The White European Jews” was compelling and thought provoking as it aimed at answering questions such as:
1) Who are the White European Jews?
2) When did they convert to Judaism?
3) Are the “Jews” a race?
These questions are of utmost importance. Hughley writes, “Esau is the father of the white (in color but not in nationality) Edomites, also known as Idumeans, who, with other ethnic groups such as the Khazars (white Europeans/Caucasians) and others, make up modern Jewry as it is known today” (p. 35). “Khazars” are Southern Turkish Europeans who came into Israel after the Israelites were kicked out.
Hugely is not alone in her findings. The Hungarian-British author and journalist, Arthur Koestler published a book entitled, “The Thirteenth Tribe” in 1976. Koestler argued that the Ashkenazi Jews are descendants of the Khazars rather than biblical Israelites. Hughley references Koestler in this chapter.
In 2008, Israeli professor of History at Tel Aviv University, Shlomo Sand published “The Invention of the Jewish People”. Originally in Hebrew, his work (2008) proved that people commonly known as Jewish, never really existed as a ‘nation-race’ with a biblical origin, but rather they consist of descendants from the medieval Eurasian state of Khazaria.
He mentions how they adopted the customs known as Judaism today. Genesis 10, commonly known as the “Table of Nations”, traces the lineage of the European converts to Noah’s son, Japheth whose descendants are commonly referred to as “Gentiles” in the bible but by historians as the “Indo-European stock”.
As for the Khazar’s conversion, “The Khazars (white Europeans/Japhetic in origins) converted to Judaism in 740 A.D. According to The Jewish Encyclopedia, (Vol. V, (1904), p 41), the Khazars are “A people of Turkish origin whose life and history are interwoven with the very beginnings of the history of the Jews in Russia . . . Historical evidence points to the region of the Urals as the home of the Chazars”.
Ashkenazi Jewish author and historian, the late Arthur Koestler agrees that the large majority of Jews are of Khazar and not Semitic origin. “That their ancestors came not from the Jordan but from the Volga, not from Canaan, but from the Caucasus; . . . and that genetically they are more closely related to the Hun, Uigur and Magyar tribes than to the seed of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob”.
Historian H.G. Wells states, “. . . the Idumeans (Edomites) were . . . made Jews, . . . and a Turkish people (Khazars) were mainly Jews in South Russia . . . The main part of Jewry never was in Judea and had never come out of Judea” (The Outline of History, 3rd Edition., p 494).
Esau is not “The White Man” aka European
Jacob-Esau-Resized
It is important to note that contrary to popular belief the Ashkenazi/Khazar’s are GENTILES and are NOT EDOM/ESAU like many tend to believe. It is also important to understand that ESAU (not the European convert jews) are the the current day ISRAELI’S and are responsible for stealing Israel’s identity.
Esau is a descendant from Isaac and twin brother of Jacob in Genesis 25, which makes him Semitic.
The White Man (Gentiles) comes from Japheth in Genesis 10
This is one of the reasons why people call Esau, the White Man:
In Hebrew, the word Ashkenazi means “German” and the term is used for Jews of Eastern European origin who historically spoke the Yiddish or Judeo-German language. Arthur Koestler’s “Thirteenth Tribe” narrative motivated a few biologists like Dr. Eran Elhaik to likewise claim that contemporary Jews are Khazars, not the Israelite descendants of Abraham and Sarah. (Hitler’s Doubles, Peter Fotis Kapnistos, p. 157)
However, you don’t have to make Esau out to be Gentiles to prove that they are not Israelites. When we understand the Bible we realize that people are not “mixed” or “bi-racial”, rather we are all simply whatever nationality our Father is. Like Timothy was a Greek even tho his mother was a Jew which is just like Bob Marley who was a Gentile because his father was a white man even tho his mother was black.
Therefore, we should not get caught up on color. This whole thing is not about color, it is about nationality. Color does not mean anything because genetically speaking, Israel – a dark skinned people are more closely linked to Esau who is considered “red” than to Hamites (Africans) who are also dark skinned.
Furthermore, the Edomites and Gentiles understand that they are not the same group of people. Thus, it is only misinformed people that confuse the two groups. That is why the Edomites will label white people as anti-semitic and call them racist slurs like honkey’s and that is why many white Nationalists are anti-Jewish and are apart of controversial organizations such as the American Nazi party.
The below article – DNA Samples Confirm Ashkenazi Jews are from European Descent” shows us that Ashkenazi Jews maternal/mother lineage comes from Europe. But they are of Edom descendants because you are what you father is, therefore they are not Gentiles.
When Edom disappeared from history around 70 AD the Edomites migrated to Europe. It is only around 1948 that many of them moved into the state of Israel which was created by the “White Men” of Britain and the United Nations.
So if the false theory of the Jews being mostly Khazar or Ashkenazi (Gentiles) is true, then you should ask yourself, where are the Edomites? Because the Lord said that the Edomites are the ones that occupy the Promised Land.
Jeremiah 49:10
King James Version (KJV)
10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
This article from the Science World Report shows the migration of the Edomites and how they travelled into Europe and took wives from the Europeans which is also another reason why they look similar to Europeans even tho they are not Europeans.
Now that we know who the European Jews mainly consist of, let us turn to the main perpetrators of Israel’s identity, the Israeli’s that call themselves Jews and do lie, are none other than Jacob’s semitic twin brother, Esau/Edom aka Idumeans.
To understand this appropriation in its totality we must refer back to the prophets of the Bible and the history of Jacob and Esau as recorded in Genesis 25-27.
While pregnant, the God of Israel told their mother Rebekah that she had two separate nations (one would be black and the other red and hairy) in her womb and that the Elder would serve the younger. Edom (the elder) ended up selling his birthright to Jacob for some red pottage.
Many theologians and writers on this topic erroneously infer that Jacob stole Esau’s birthright. However, this is a false assertion that is cleared up with the scriptures.
It is very clear that enmity existed between these two brothers while they were in the womb (Genesis 25:22-23). More importantly, Jacob did not steal Esau’s birthright as it is explicitly recorded twice in the bible that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob in Genesis 25:31-33 and Hebrews 12:16.
We do not read that Jacob stole Esau’s birthright, we read that Esau sold his birthright to Jacob.
Yet, even after he sold his birthright/blessing, he still tried to receive the blessing from Isaac that went to Jacob which shows his cunningness.
Even though Esau did not receive his birthright he did receive another blessing from Isaac which included him inheriting the fatness (or wealth) of the earth, which is why they are known to be inherently wealthy, bankers, financiers, money changers, and control many of the wealthiest Western industries such as Hollywood.
Jacob (the younger), ended up receiving the birthright which included his name being changed to Israel (Genesis 32:24-28), inheriting the land of Canaan (Exodus 3:6-10), and being commissioned as a holy nation of priests and kings to all kindred’s and tongues (Exodus 19:5-6).
They entered into a covenant with God and God promised that if they would obey Him and keep his commandments that their land, sustenance, children, and all that they owned and did would be blessed (Deuteronomy 28:1-14).
However, if they were to disobey God and break his commandments then he would curse their entire nation with affliction, oppression, and disease, remove them from the Promised Land and scatter them into slavery throughout the world by way of slave ships (Deuteronomy 28:15-68). Unfortunately for the nation of Israel, they choose to rebel against God and break his commandments.
Therefore, he put them under the divine curse that he forewarned them of (Daniel 9). The curses of Israel which include deplorable socio-economic conditions in slavery as well as their physical description proves that the Edomites or the one’s claiming to be Jews today are not the Biblical Israelites.
The Edomites took advantage of their brother’s destruction and since they have always thought that they deserved the birthright which they sold, they used this opportunity to appropriate Jacob’s land, heritage and identity.

There is a great deal of historic sources that explain the gradual process of how the Edomites converted to what is known as Judaism, occupied the land of Israel, and eventually became known as the biblical Israelites.
For the Edomites, this process started as early as the 6th century B.C.E. as a result of forced migration by the hands of the Nabateans (who are reported a Northern Arabian tribe).
They were driven out of their own land commonly known as Idumea and inhabited Southern Judea. How were they able to occupy Southern Judah? God had foretold that the Israelites would be taken into captivity by the Babylonians for 70 years (Jeremiah 25:3-12).
During this time, the Edomites were forced out of their land by the Nabateans and started to settle in Southern Judah. Eventually, Cyrus, the king of Persia, proclaims an edict that allows Israel to go back into Judah and rebuild the third temple after their 70 year captivity in Babylon (Ezra 1:1-3).
When Israel returned to Judah after their 70 year captivity, they were cut of from Hebron because the Edomites had established themselves there. This was the beginning of their identity theft.
Atlas of the Bible, p. 148 – The Return :
“At some point, but no later than 522BC, a second great group of Babylonian Jews came to Jerusalem and then settled, each to his own town. The list of these towns in Ezra 2:2-35 and Nehemiah 7:6-38, indicate that the returning of Jews, established themselves in an area, roughly 40 miles east to west by 30 miles north to south in the hill country of Judah. On the east, they extended to the Jordan valley around Jericho, while to the west, they penetrated the coastal plain, settling in Lod and Ono. To the North, they reached beyond the old border of Judah to Bethel. In the South, they held strategic sites of Beth-Zur, but were cut off from Hebron, which was in the hands of the Edomites. Although the area was small, the Jews controlled vital approaches to the highlands. Yet, they could not be secure until Jerusalem, the leading city and place of ultimate refuge was refortified.”
The Sarcophagus of an Ancient Civilization: Petra, Edom, and the Edomites (Idumeans) p. 369-370 – History of the Idumeans.:
“Judea and Idumea, (Sir) George Adam Smith (theologian and historian) made Idumea of that time, to include the southern shepolah, with the Negev. Adding that the Edomites had come upon it during the Jewish exile and after the return of the Jews, they continued to hold the greater part of it. Whatever the extent of Idumea originally may have been, it is certain that when the sons of Esau came into Palestine in the 6th century BC, they settled in close juxtaposition and stood face to face with their age old brothers and rivals, the sons of Jacob. Whether Cyrus in 536 BC dislodged them from certain parts of Judah in order to give the returning exiles of Israel a foothold, we do not know.
But it is more likely as Ewald observed three quarters of a century ago, that this monarch was by no means prepared to expel the Idumeans from the land which they had already occupied and cultivated for 50 or 60 years. On the other hand, the prophet Malachi points to them as the object of Jehovah’s displeasure in his day as a people; “Against whom Jehovah had indication forever, Saying Jacob have I loved but Esau have I hated”. By which He probably meant that the Israelites have already been brought back from captivity but the Edomites are still in exile, having been expelled by the Nabateans. During all of the centuries of their occupation of Judah, the Jews regarded them with suspicion.
Their unbrotherly treatment of them on the occasion of Jerusalem’s downfall in 586 BC was never forgotten. In 164 BC, Judas Maccabee’s fought them with triumphant success. Less than 50 years thereafter, John Hyrcanus completely conquered them, not only wrestling from them two of their most powerful strongholds, Adorah and Maresha, and placing them under a Jewish governor, but compelling them also to submit to circumcision and the Jewish law.”
In an article on “Edom”, the Jewish Encyclopdia (1925 edition), has this statement: ”(In 163BC) Judas Maccabeus conquered their territory for a time. They were again subdued by John Hyrcanus (about 125 BC), by whom they were forced to observe Jewish rites and laws.
They were then incorporated with the Jewish nation, and their country was called by the Greeks and Romans, “Idumea.” With Antipater began the Idumean dynasty that ruled over Judea till its conquest by the Romans . . . From this time the Idumeans ceased to be a separate people . . .”
So a hundred years before Christ, Judah was inhabited by Edomites and native Israelites who were both followers of Talmudic Judaism, seeming to heal the breach between Jacob and Esau. But the Edomites proved to be a discordant element. And in 37BC, Herod the Great (74-4BC), an Idumean or Edomite whose wife Mariamne was a Maccabean, became at the age of 36, undisputed ruler of Judea.
The Pharisees gained ascendancy over the Sadducees, and there were so many Edomites in the population at the time of Christ that the land was called Idumea (Mark 3:8). The Edomites participated in the defence of Jerusalem against the Romans during Titus’ siege (AD66-70).
According to The Jewish Encyclopedia (1904, Vol. V, p 41), “Immediately before the siege of Jerusalem 20,000 Idumeans appeared before Jerusalem to fight in behalf of the Zealots who were besieged in the Temple”. More than a million inhabitants of Judea died and 97,000 were taken captive. An unknown number had fled either before or during the siege.
Drawing on the record of Flavius Josephus’ The Great Roman Jewish War: 70 A.D. we are informed that Hasmonean leader, John Hyracanus conquered the entire land of Edom “and undertook the forced conversion of its inhabitants to Judaism”.
This is when the Edomites became a section of the Jewish people. Josephus also points out that the tyrannical king Herod was in fact an Edomite who was appointed king of Judea by the Romans in 40 B.C.E. and by 6 B.C.E., “Edom became part of the Roman province of Judea” (p. 43-44).
they left black
In 70 A.D., they assisted the Romans to help Emperor Titus besiege Jerusalem, and as a result many Israelites were crucified, starved, and to escape persecution almost all of the Jews fled into North Africa.
Luke 21:20-24
King James Version (KJV)
20 And when ye shall see Jerusalem compassed with armies, then know that the desolation thereof is nigh.
21 Then let them which are in Judaea flee to the mountains; and let them which are in the midst of it depart out; and let not them that are in the countries enter thereinto.
22 For these be the days of vengeance, that all things which are written may be fulfilled.
23 But woe unto them that are with child, and to them that give suck, in those days! for there shall be great distress in the land, and wrath upon this people.
24 And they shall fall by the edge of the sword, and shall be led away captive into all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trodden down of the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Arch_of_Titus_Menorah
The last Two Million Years, pg. 87 – Faith survives the dispersion:
“The crucifixion of Jesus about AD 30 did not end Jewish resistance to the Roman occupation. In 70, when the country was again in a state of revolt, Jerusalem, the holy city, became the core of resistance to the Romans. Titus, the son of Emperor Vespasian preceded to lay siege to Jerusalem. The city fall and the inhabitants were enslaved in their thousands and dispersed throughout the Mediterranean world. This was the first dispersion and worse was yet to follow. Continual insurrections and revolts again Roman rule led to the total destruction of Jerusalem in 135. The city was renamed Aelia Capitolina and all Jews were prohibited from entering it. A second and more important dispersion not took place and the whole of Judea was renamed, Palestine.”
Once the Roman siege and occupation of Israel took place – in which the Edomites helped to achieve – they were able to completely inhabit the land of Israel.
Obadiah 1-3, 8-15
King James Version (KJV)
1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2 Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
8 Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?
9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.
10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.
11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
12 But thou shouldest not have looked on the day of thy brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither shouldest thou have spoken proudly in the day of distress.
13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity;
14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
Edom/Esau/Idumean disappears from Geography and History in 70 A.D. – The same year that Rome sieges Jerusalem and the Biblical Israelites go into captivity! This was able to take place because they moved into the land of Israel!
Zondervan Pictorial Bible Dictionary p. 233-234 – Edom:
“Edomites, the nation and its people who are descendants of Esau. He founded the country, so his name is equated with Edom. The country was also called Sier or Mount Sier, which was the name of the territory in which the Edomites lived. The mountain and the plateau area between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba. About 100 miles long and up to 40 miles wide. The Edomites were also subject to Babylon. Under the Persian Empire, Edom became a province called Idumea, the Greek form of Edom. In 325 BC, an Arab tribe known as the Nabateans, conquered the Eastern part of Edom’s territory. In Maccabean times, John Hyrcanus subdued the Idumeans and forced them to accept Judaism. When the Romans took over Palestine, the Edomites also were included. From Idumea came Antipater, the Father of Herod the Great. He became pro-curator of Judea. After the destruction of Jerusalem, by the Romans, in 70 AD, the Idumeans disappeared from history.

World Scope Encyclopedia, Volume 5 & 6 – Edom
“Meaning Red, the name given to Esau on account of the red pottage secured by him by his brother Jacob. The name was also given to the country settled by Esau, having been previously known as Mount. Seir. It was about one hundred miles long and twenty miles wide, and was situated between the Dead Sea and the Gulf of Aqaba, in land from the Red Sea. Bozrah, now Busaira, situated in the extreme northern part, was the chief city and the capital. During the reigns of David and Solomon, Edom was under subjection to the Israelites. Later, the Edomites ravaged the southern borders of Palestine and were denounced with considerable vehemence, by some of the prophets of Israel. After the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 AD, the name of Edom or Idumea disappeared from Geography.”

Edom was able to disappear from history after the Roman conquest of Jerusalem because the indigenous Israelites were subdued, removed from their land, and sent into slavery.
King David prophecies about the confederacy that Esau (Israeli’s) and Ishmael (Palestinians) conspired in order to distort the memory of Israel (they have done this because the masses do not know who the true Israelites are), remove them from their land, and take the land of Israel for their own possession.
Esau and Ishmael are rivals and the only time they have agreed was when they are working together to take Israel’s name out of existence.

Psalm 83:1-6
King James Version (KJV)
1 Keep not thou silence, O God: hold not thy peace, and be not still, O God.
2 For, lo, thine enemies make a tumult: and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3 They have taken crafty counsel against thy people, and consulted against thy hidden ones.
4 They have said, Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation; that the name of Israel may be no more in remembrance.
5 For they have consulted together with one consent: they are confederate against thee:
6 The tabernacles of Edom, and the Ishmaelites; of Moab, and the Hagarenes;
12 Who said, Let us take to ourselves the houses of God in possession.

God foretold that Edom (Mt. Sier) would possess the land of Israel and say that Israel and Judah belonged to them! This was fulfilled in 1982.
Ezekiel 35
King James Version (KJV)
35 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 Idumea, even all of it: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Menachem Begin
Sun Times Article, September 9th, 1982 – “West Bank forever vows Begin”:
“Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin vehemently rejected president Reagan’s Middle East peace initiative Wednesday, and declared that the occupied West Bank will be for the Jewish people for all generations. Pounding the podium for emphasis, Begin told the tumultuous session of the parliament, that Reagan’s plan was “unacceptable because it would endanger our lives, our homeland, the lands of our fathers, and sons”… “The world will witness whose dedication will win” Begin said, “if someone tried to take Judea and Samaria, the West Bank from us, we will tell him, Judea and Samaria for the Jewish people for all generations”.
This is why Jesus exposed the blasphemous Edomites who have appropriated the identity of the true Jews!!
Revelation 3:9
King James Version (KJV)
9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
CONCLUSION:
The Edomites and Khazars, along with many other Indo-European ethnic groups, make up modern Jewery.
Christians and non-Christians need to realize that the people who are in the land of Israel today are not the Hebrews or Jews of the Bible and therefore, they should not be supported and more importantly they should not be followed spiritually because as seen above they are the synagogue of Satan which means that they are not worshipping God.
Although the black Hebrew-Israelites are the real descendants of ancient Israel and God’s chosen people that the world must follow for salvation, this truth is not known by many and it is the world’s best kept secret.
the kingship of Edom was, at least in early times, not hereditary, perhaps elective.
The first book of Chronicles mentions both a king and chieftains.
Moses and the Israelite people twice appealed to their common ancestry and asked the king of Edom for passage through his land, along the "King's Highway", on their way to Canaan, but the king refused permission.
Accordingly, they detoured around the country because of his show of force or because God ordered them to do so rather than wage war (Deuteronomy 2:4–6). The King of Edom did not attack the Israelites, though he prepared to resist aggression.
Nothing further is recorded of the Edomites in the Tanakh until their defeat by King Saul of Israel in the late 11th century BC (1 Samuel 14:47).
Forty years later King David and his general Joab defeated the Edomites in the "Valley of Salt" (probably near the Dead Sea; 2 Samuel 8:13–14; 1 Kings 9:15–16). An Edomite prince named Hadad escaped and fled to Egypt, and after David's death returned and tried to start a rebellion, but failed and went to Syria (Aramea).
From that time Edom remained a vassal of Israel.
David placed over the Edomites Israelite governors or prefects, and this form of government seems to have continued under Solomon.
When Israel divided into two kingdoms Edom became a dependency of the Kingdom of Judah. In the time of Jehoshaphat (c. 870 – 849 BC) the Tanakh mentions a king of Edom, who was probably an Israelite deputy appointed by the King of Judah. It also states that the inhabitants of Mount Seir invaded Judea in conjunction with Ammon and Moab, and that the invaders turned against one another and were all destroyed (2 Chronicles 20:10–23).
Edom revolted against Jehoram and elected a king of its own (2 Kings 8:20–22; 2 Chronicles 21:8).
Amaziah attacked and defeated the Edomites, seizing Selah, but the Israelites never subdued Edom completely (2 Kings 14:7; 2 Chronicles 25:11–12).
