Viewing clips from the movie "Obsession" on you Tube soon leads one to believe that the world has officially gone completely insane. The stage has been set for the final act of a long and tumultuous play.
This problem will not go away if we just ignore it. The Children of Esau wish to take back their sold birthright :
Gen 25:29-34 Once, Jacob was preparing a meal when Esau, exhausted, came in from outdoors. So Esau said to Jacob, "Let me have the whole pot of red stuff to eat-that red stuff-I'm exhausted." This is why he was called Edom. Jacob responded, "First, sell me your rights as firstborn." "I'm about to die." Esau said. "What good is my inheritance to me?" "First, swear an oath," Jacob said. So Esau swore an oath to him and sold him his rights as firstborn. Then Jacob gave Esau a meal of bread and lentils. He ate and drank, and then he got up and left. This is how Esau showed his contempt for his rights as firstborn.
Gen 27:37-40 Isaac answered Esau, "I have made him your master, and I have made all his brothers serve him. I've provided fresh grain and new wine for him. What is left for me to do for you, Son?" Esau asked, "Do you have only one blessing, Father? Bless me too, Father!" And Esau sobbed loudly. His father Isaac answered him, "The place where you live will lack the fertile fields of the earth and the dew from the sky above. You will use your sword to live, and you will serve your brother. But eventually you will gain your freedom and break his yoke off your neck."
Now the Children of Esau have finally risen up, and while they war with the Children of Jacob, they also are at war with the World. This fact cannot be ignored. It is the risen curtain on the final scenes that make up the book of revelation.
