Excerpt from Who is Esau-Edom?
As with any script the Bible reveals certain traits, attributes and characteristics of the various actors or characters it talks about. We can thus find in the Bible some attributes and characteristics of Esau-Edom, which will help identify who this actor was in history and perhaps in the world today. There is much evidence showing that the seed of Esau may safely be identified with modern Jewry.
Edom’s Symbolic Name
The first revealing attribute associated with Esau-Edom in Scripture is that of a colour association with his name. Esau-Edom is symbolically associated with the colour red. Esau was actually born with this attribute, as is described in the account of his birth:
And the first [Esau] came out red, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esau. (Genesis 25:25)
Here we find that Esau had the physical attribute of being red and hairy, which is contrasted with Jacob’s appearance who ”was a plain man” (Gen. 25:27). The red colour of Esau was to be a sign that he would later sell his birthright to Jacob for some red pottage.
And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom (Genesis .25:30)
The word ‘Edom’ actually means “red,” just as the name Esau signifies red. This character thus represents the colour red. When we look at the meaning and symbology associated with the colour red in both Scripture and secular history we have a better understanding of the nature and identity of Esau-Edom, and who he is to be identified with. Here are some illustrations:
- Red is representative of blood and bloodshed (2 Kings 3:22; Isa. 1:15).
- Scarlet or red is symbolic of sin in general (Isa. 1:18).
- The red horse of the Book of Revelation signifies war and the ability to cause wars (Rev. 6:4). Esau was to be war-like and live by the sword (Gen. 27:40).
- The anti-Christian, satanic system which ruled Rome was identified as a red dragon (Rev. 12:3). Jews are the most antichristian people on the face of the earth.
- The great beast of Mystery Babylon which was to spread abominations and death to the whole earth is scarlet or red in colour. And the woman on the beast controlling it is dressed in scarlet (Rev. 17:3-4). Jews are the major promoters of the Babylonian religion called Judaism.
- The banking industry, which is a part of red Babylon’s economic control over Christendom, is led by the Jewish banking family of Rothschild, which means “red shield”.
- The Red Flag symbolizes revolutionary socialism. “The socialist movement, from its inception up to the present day, has been largely dominated by Jewish influence.”
- In the Jewish Cabala red signifies bloodshed and also justice for the Jew.
- The Jewish author and historian Arthur Koestler shows that the Jewish Khazars (from which many Jews are derived) were commonly known as the “Red Jews”.
The colour of Jewish-Communism is red as indicated by such terms as red nation, red star, ‘Red Square’, etc. The Russian Revolution that brought about ‘Red Communism’ was planned and financed by Jews, and “the revolutionary leaders nearly all belonged to the Jewish race.”
Red, in the West, has become a universal sign for warning or danger. Red Edom {Communism) has proven to be a danger to the Christian West.
The colour red is as predominately associated with the Jews and their activities as it is with that of Esau-Edom. Also note that there are no positive or redeeming attributes associated with the colour red in connection to Esau, or in its association to the Jews. Red is always representative of something bad or negative, such as bloodshed, sins, the Babylonian system, war, communism, etc. Esau-Edom and his descendants are possessors of these characteristics.
