This is part 4 of a 5 part bible series on Edom the sons of Esau. In this part we discover how the Edomites get their judgement from God
Prophecy is given in layers. The flood of Noah was a metaphor of the end of the world. Jesus said the end will be just like Noah's time. It is a metaphor of judgement day.
The destruction of Jerusalem is also a metaphor of judgement day. The first destruction of Jerusalem brought judgement upon Edom. In Roman times Jesus Christ came and preached the gospel it was like the ark of Noah, those who did not get in the ark suffered in the destruction of Jerusalem. Those who did get in the ark knew Christ's warning in Luke 21:20 and they fled Judea at that time. The prophecies against Edom were fulfilled because the Edomites are no longer a nation or a people since that time. 
In prophecy the destruction of Jerusalem is like the end of the world, it is the great day of the Lords vengeance. In Roman times the day of vengeance was on a scale of the Middle east. Christianity now goes to all nations, the scale is now worldwide. It now takes on a spiritual application. All nations are called today, the ancient nations take on a spiritual meaning. Esau is no longer a nation it is now a metaphor. Edomites are now a type of unbeliever. 
Isaiah 34 about the sacrifice in Bozrah. The indignation of the Lord is upon all nations. Its about how Israel shall be blessed forever and Edom shall be cursed forever. 
Isaiah 63 Judgement day prophecy, The Lords wine press the sacrifice in Bozrah, treading the wine press alone.  
Revelation 14 Son of man upon a white cloud - reapers reap the ripe grapes, wine press of the Lords wrath is tread. 
Revelation 19 He upon the white horse, his name is the WORD of GOD, with an army on white horses, he shall rule them with a rod of iron, treads the wine press of the wrath of God. 
Jeremiah 49 Concerning Edom, I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places. Bozrah shall become a perpetual desolate waste. I will make thee despised among men. The least of the flock shall draw them out. 
Obadiah  The shortest prophecy in the Old Testament very similar to Jeremiah 49. he that dwells in the clefts of the rock like an eagle, the original inhabitants of Mt Seir, also about Herod the Great, his fortresses of Herodium and Masada.  Another example of layers in prophecy. The same will hold true in the end of the world.  Though thou exalt thyself as an eagle I will bring thee down.
You should not have rejoiced when Jerusalem fell, you should not have helped, you were one of them, you should not have rejoiced or spoken proudly in Judah's day of distress.  As you have drunken upon my holy mountain so shall all the heathen drink but Judah shall possess the land. 

We have learned of Esau's role in the destruction of Jerusalem, they were aware of the law of Moses but they did what they did anyway. We now understand who Edom was in ancient times, in the next video we will explore who Edom is in modern times.
