Edomia

Jesus went out to a lake with his disciples, and a large crowd followed him.

They came from all over Galilee, Judea, Jerusalem, Edomia, from east of the Jordan River, and even from as far north as Tyre and Sidon.

The news about his miracles spread far and wide, and vast numbers of people came to see him.

Jesus instructed his disciples to have a boat ready, so the crowd would not crush him.

You could talk about Egypt, and the Scriptures do.

You could talk about Edomia.

The Doctrine and Covenants will mention that, and we'll see that again later in Isaiah today.

You could talk about Sodom and Gomorrah, which Isaiah already has, and he's done it again here.

No wonder we have to understand these things because we're living them.

No wonder we have to liken all scriptures unto us so that it might be for our profit and learning.

But of all those examples, Egypt, Edomia, Sodom and Gomorrah, Babylon is the one that seems to persist.

It's the one the Doctrine and Covenants keeps coming back to.

But there was people like Tobiah and Sambalat to try to hinder and do everything they could to prevent the temple and the wall around Jerusalem from being built.

And then we saw the same thing, Herod, who was an Edomite from Edomia.

Herod, the king during the birth, the infancy of Yeshua, tried to kill all the babies.

And then the son of Herod tried...

It was actually Pilate that pronounced... judgment on him, but Herod did not acquiesce to that.

So Herod was part of that as well.

And he was also an Edomian because he was from his father, Herod the Great, who was an Edomian or a half-Edomite.

And then we have seen the same thing going on in the modern state of Israel currently with The Palestinians, the people in Gaza, who also are Edomites, you go back and study the history, they're Philistines as well as Edomians, because Edomia was right next to Philistia, so there's some of the remnants there of that, most likely genealogically or biologically, as well as all of their Muslim friends that hate the Jews and the Christians, the people of the book.

Rome had previously divided Palestine into 10 geographical areas or administrative districts.

And the following are listing of these things, Samaria, Judea, Edomia, Galilee, I don't want to really go through all that, but it names the 10 divisions.

Evidently Nero gave these 10 districts authority to rise against Jerusalem when they began to rebel against Rome.

So this scenario would once again be a perfect historical fulfillment of the entire prophecy of Revelation chapter 17.
