Esau which is Edom. All is going well for a long time. Esau chose to forfeit his blessing to Jacob.
it is providentially ordained by God the blessing. Jacob got it and you can see him go right into it.
Esau seems to be okay. Generations come and go but eventually he has a future that will be a disaster.
Esau didn't know the future of his line.
It all started when Israel wanted to pass through Edom which was Esau's land. They refused to let them through and mistreated them. Abraham's covenant included blessed are those who bless you and cursed are those who curse you.
In Obadiah the prophet who is found in the minor prophets of the bible ,you can see the destruction of Edom. All that Esau started ws destroyed all because they were not good to Israel.
One thing that pleases me is that America is helping Israel. In 1:1-3 we see that pride goes before a fall and all of the things or even idols people trust in are of no help. I have seen people who try to get help in their troubles and no one wants to help.
It is a terrible thing to lose all you have and it be given to one who is good before God. Jacob received al the blessings. He was wise in that he knew God is th only way to real blessing. God is dependable in times of trouble Ps. 46:1.
