As we walk through the judgments set forth in Amoc, we find that the events appear to be following in order. Karmel withered, the habitation of the shepherds mourned, the judgment comes on Damascus, then Gaza, then Tyre (Tsor), . . then Edom.
Amoc (Amos) 1:11
Thus says YAHUAH; For three transgressions of Edom, and for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever: 12 But I will send a fire upon Teman, which shall devour the palaces of Bozrah.
Bere’shiyth (Genesis) 36:1
Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom.
This prophecy concerns the lineage of Esau, the brother of Ya’akov, and the father of the Arab world. What is the reason for the punishment of Edom? It is because he did pursue his brother with the sword, and did cast off all pity, and his anger did tear perpetually, and he kept his wrath forever. Who is the brother of Esau? It is Ya’akov, whose house is Yisra’el.
A complete destruction by fire is coming to Edom, who is Esau, who is the Arab, because the Arab world continually pursued his brother Ya’akov with the sword; because he cast off all pity; because he allowed his anger to tear perpetually, and because he kept his wrath forever.
Yermiyahu (Jeremiah) 49:7-13
Concerning Edom, thus says YAHUAH TSEVA’OT; Is wisdom no more in Teyman? Is counsel perished from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished? 8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him. 9 If grapegatherers come to you, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? If thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough. 10 But I have made את (eth)-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. 11 Leave your fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let your widows trust in me. 12 For thus says YAHUAH; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and are you he that shall altogether go unpunished? You shall not go unpunished, but you shall surely drink of it. 13 For I have sworn by myself, says YAHUAH, that Botsrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
This prophecy is made even more explicit is Yesha’yahu.
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 34:1-3
Come near, ye nations, to hear; and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein; the world, and all things that come forth of it. 2 For the indignation of YAHUAH is upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he has utterly destroyed them, he has delivered them to the slaughter. 3 Their slain also shall be cast out, and their stink shall come up out of their carcases, and the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
This is a prophecy of a coming world war which will not exclude any nation on earth. Let all the earth hear and all of the things of the world – the indignation of YAHUAH is upon all nations.
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 34:4-10
4 And all the host of heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together as a scroll: and all their host shall fall down, as the leaf falls off from the vine, and as a falling fig from the fig tree. 5 For my sword shall be bathed in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people of my curse, to judgment. 6 The sword of YAHUAH is filled with blood, it is made fat with fatness, and with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams: for YAHUAH has a sacrifice in Botsrah, and a great slaughter in the land of Edom. 7 And the unicorns shall come down with them, and the bullocks with the bulls; and their land shall be soaked with blood, and their dust made fat with fatness. 8 For it is the day of YAHUAH’S vengeance, and the year of recompences for the controversy of Tsiyon. 9 And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the dust thereof into brimstone, and the land thereof shall become burning pitch. 10 It shall not be quenched night nor day; the smoke thereof shall go up forever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.
This is a devastating prophecy concerning Edom, but once again this judgment on Edom is vengeance and a recompense for the controversy of Tsiyon. For those who have moved from Anti-Semitism (the old word), to Anti-Zionism (the new word), you can see that YAH got there before you, and declared Zionism (Tsiyon) to be the controversy that would bring judgment.
Yesha’yahu (Isaiah) 34:11-15
11 But the cormorant and the bittern shall possess it; the owl also and the raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out upon it the line of confusion, and the stones of emptiness. 12 They shall call the nobles thereof to the kingdom, but none shall be there, and all her princes shall be nothing. 13 And thorns shall come up in her palaces, nettles and brambles in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be an habitation of dragons, and a court for owls. 14 The wild beasts of the desert shall also meet with the wild beasts of the island, and the satyr shall cry to his fellow; the screech owl also shall rest there, and find for herself a place of rest. 15 There shall the great owl make her nest, and lay, and hatch, and gather under her shadow: there shall the vultures also be gathered, everyone with her mate.
Of course the judgment on Edom is not the end of the war cycle of Amoc, but consider this word from Yirmeyahu.
Yirmeyahu (Jeremiah) 9:25-26
Behold, the days come, says YAHUAH, that I will punish all them which are circumcised with the uncircumcised; 26 Mitsrayim, and Yahudah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Mo’av, and all that are in the utmost corners, that dwell in the wilderness: for all these nations are uncircumcised, and all the house of Yisra’el are uncircumcised in the heart.
