Understanding the historical relationship between Edom and Israel will help us to understand the animosity that the Edomites had towards Israelites, which later resulted in their destruction. Esau was the father of the Edomites and Jacob the father of Israel. It seems that Esau’s anger towards his brother, Jacob, was passed on to his descendants. The Edomites seized every chance they had to fight Israel. They did not only rejoice over Israel’s captivity, but also took over his possession. Therefore, because of their evil behaviour, God condemned them to termination as a nation. God sent nations to rise up against them in battle, to make them small and to bring them down completely (vv.1, vv2 & vv4). The fulfilment of their destruction happened about A. D. 70 when their land was ruined economically by the Arab invaders and later conquered by the Romans. It is time Christians should beware of God’s judgment that begins even from this world. Christians should beware of their actions to their neighbours while avoiding issues that can transpire between families and eventually lead to generational battles. God is a Righteous Judge; He will surely judge everyone according to their wickedness against their neighbours. God encourages brotherly love among brethren so that people can live together in peace and harmony. Christians should also learn not to take laws into their hands, especially at this trying period when we face persecutions from other faiths but rather call upon God to fight against the enemies of Christian faith.
