The Enemies of Israel:
Make a tumult or an uproar
Hate God
Exalt themselves above God
They are conspiring together or making war plans to attack Israel
Their intensions are to kill all the Jews so they are no longer a nation
and that Israel will be remembered no more.

• The descendents of Esau, Jacob’s twin brother who became known as Israel
• The Edomites settled in what we know today as south-west Jordan or back then
Idumea, and were also known as the Idumeans, which was the Greek word for
Edomites.
• In 586 BC the Edomites began migrating over to the land of Israel after
Jerusalem was destroyed by the Babylonians.
• With little or no Jewish people around they began homesteading in the area of
Hebron, which is located 19 miles south of Jerusalem.
• Around the same time a nomadic tribe known as the Nabataean’s began to
migrate out of Arabia into Edom.
• Judas Maccabeus, a Jew, took control of Hebron in 167 BC and in 126 BC there
was another battle where the Edomites were subdued again.
• Then in 47 BC Julius Caesar conquered the area and promoted the Idumean
Antipater as procurator over Judea, Samaria and Galilee.
• Then in 37 BC, the Romans named Herod, an Idumean, as the King over
Israel.
• During the destruction of Jerusalem by Titus the Romans General not only
were the Jews destroyed but many of the Idumeans were as well.
• The Caesar set free 40,000 Idumeans to stay in the area of Hebron and they
have been there ever since.
• Then the Romans changed the name of Israel to Palestina in AD 135 and
everyone now living in that area became known as Palestinians
Ezekiel 25:12-14 - 'Thus says the Lord God: "Because of what Edom did against
the house of Judah by taking vengeance, and has greatly offended by avenging
itself on them," 13 therefore thus says the Lord God: "I will also stretch out My
hand against Edom, cut off man and beast from it, and make it desolate from
Teman; Dedan shall fall by the sword. 14 I will lay My vengeance on Edom by the
hand of My people Israel, that they may do in Edom according to My anger and
according to My fury; and they shall know My vengeance," says the Lord God.
NKJV
Obadiah 1-2 - The vision of Obadiah. This is what the Sovereign Lord says
about Edom — We have heard a message from the Lord: An envoy was
sent to the nations to say, "Rise, and let us go against her for battle"—
"See, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly
despised.
Obadiah 8-10: "In that day," declares the Lord, "will I not destroy the wise
men of Edom, men of understanding in the mountains of Esau? Your
warriors, O Teman, will be terrified, and everyone in Esau's mountains will
be cut down in the slaughter. Because of the violence against your brother
Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever.
