Our bible gives us clear descriptions of Adam and his
descendants. It also provides prophecies
regarding Adam and his descendants so that we can clearly identify who these
people are today. It also tells us who
was blessed by our Father in Heaven and who was cursed. Descriptions, prophecies, blessing and curses
are all important when identifying who the bible is talking about. If you do not know who the bible is talking
about, you will not be able to apply discernment nor will you understand
prophecy.
Jeremiah says that the Israelites forget were they came
from:
“My people have been a lost flock, their shepherds have caused them to go
astray, and have made them wander in the mountains: they have gone from mountain
to hill, they have forgotten their resting
place.” DR Jer 50:6
Jesus told his disciples to go to the lost sheep of Israel
since he did know where they were located.
The sheep had forgotten who they were.
Most of Israel today still does not realize they are Israel.
“These twelve Jesus sent forth, and charged them, saying, Go not into
any way of the Gentiles, and enter not into any city of the Samaritans: but go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.” ASV
Mat 10:5-7
Jesus said “But he answered and said, I was
not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of
Israel.” ASV Mat 15:24
The table below is just an overview of the bible proof
provided below that. There is lots more information to review.
Reflected below are bible descriptions and the prophecies
regarding these biblical people. Plus I
have also included old art work showing who our forefathers and/or brethren
thought the people of the bible were. It
really is important and honoring to our forefather and brethren to see what they
thought the people of the bible looked like and it is part of the Ten
Commandments to do so. There is no word
for forefathers or grandfathers in the bible; they are all considered
fathers. It is extremely important that
we do not get information from other races regarding who we are.
“Honour thy father and thy
mother, that it may be well with thee, and that thou mayest live long on the
good land, which the Lord thy God gives to thee.” Sep Exo 20:12

Adam
Adam was created from the dust of the red ground or dust of
lava. The word ‘adam’ comes from the block
Hebrew word aw-dawm (H120) which
means ruddy. Adam originates from
the block Hebrew word adom (H119)
meaning to be red (ruddy), to show blood in the face, to flush or turn rosy. The English word man is frequently translated
from the block Hebrew word ‘adam’ in our bibles. The English word man is also
translated from the block Hebrew words ‘ish’ and ‘enosh’. Today we use the word ‘ish’ to describe
nations of men such as; English, Spanish, Danish, Irish, Scottish, Frankish,
Polish, etc. The word ‘enosh’ means a mortal man who is
susceptible to death.
“And the Lord God formed man [ha·'a·dam, H120
same as Adam] of the dust of the ground
[ha·'a·da·mah, soil (from its general redness)], and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man [ha·'a·dam, H120
Adam] became a living soul.”
KJV Gen 2:7
For more information about ‘adam’ see https://studybible.info/strongs/H119
and https://biblehub.com/greek/444.htm
Adam man was created to be immortal meaning he would live
forever. Adam and his descendants were
cursed with death after partaking of the knowledge of good and evil. Adam and his descendants are still considered
immortal since they can avoid the second death, which is permanent, by
following the laws of Moses and by repenting when they sin.
“And the Lord God gave a charge to Adam, saying, Of every tree which is
in the garden thou mayest freely eat, but of the tree of the knowledge of good
and evil--of it ye shall not eat, but in whatsoever day ye eat of it, ye shall surely die.”
Sep Gen 2:16-17
“But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers,
and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, they shall have
their portion in the pool burning with fire and brimstone, which is the second death.”
DR Rev 21:8
The Greek Septuagint agrees with the block Hebrew that Adam
face shows red and his soul was to be immortal.
We are told here that Adam was made with in the image of our
Father in Heaven and our Father gave Adam his name which means ruddy.
“This is the genealogy of men in the day in which God made Adam; in the image of God he made
him: male and female he made them, and blessed them; and he called his
name Adam, in the day in which he made them.” Sep Gen 5:1-2
Adam was the first farmer who was to cultivate the
land. He is described as a farmer who
would work for his food:
“and every herb of the field before it was on the earth, and all the
grass of the field before it sprang up, for God had not rained on the earth,
and there was not
a man to cultivate it.” Sep Gen 2:5
“And the Lord God took the man whom he had formed, and placed him in the
garden of Delight, to cultivate and keep it.” Sep Gen
2:15
“And to Adam he said, Because thou hast hearkened to the voice of thy
wife, and eaten of the tree concerning which I charged thee of it only not to
eat--of that thou hast eaten, cursed is the ground in thy labours, in pain shalt
thou eat of it all the days of thy life. Thorns and thistles shall
it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat the herb of the field. In the sweat of
thy face shalt thou eat thy bread until thou return to the earth out
of which thou wast taken, for earth thou art and to earth thou shalt return.”
Sep Gen 3:18-20
The New Testament also shows that Adam’s descendants must
work for food. Therefore the descendants
of Adam were not to be on food stamps and government handouts. Nor were the Adamites to live off of others
charity. We are to be self-sufficient.
“For
also when we were with you, this we declared to you: that, if any man will not work, neither let him
eat.” DR 2 Thes 3:10
Our Father in Heaven assigned Adam and his descendants the
task of naming all the animals. Today
the animals and plants are identified with Greek
and Latin names and classifications.
“And God formed yet farther out of the earth all the wild beasts of the
field, and all the birds of the sky, and he brought them to Adam, to see what
he would call them, and whatever Adam called any living creature, that was the
name of it. And Adam gave names to all the cattle and to all
the birds of the sky, and to all the wild beasts of the field, but
for Adam there was not found a help like to himself.” Sep Gen 2:19-20
Eve
We call Adam’s wife today Eve which comes from the Greek
Septuagint. The Greek name is Εὔᾱ (Eúā) which is translated to English as
‘Eve’. According to the Greek
Septuagint, Eve’s name was originally Zoe which means living. After Adam knew Eve, meaning they are now
considered married, Eve’s name was changed to Eve or Eva.
Eve’s Name Sources:
·
Hava is Old Swedish meaning ‘to have and to hold’ https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hava#Old_Swedish. Hava comes from the Old Norse language word
‘hafa’ meaning ‘to have, keep, retain’. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/hafa#Old_Norse
The Old Norse word ‘hafa’ comes from the Proto-German word ‘habjaną’ which
means ‘to have, hold’. https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Reconstruction:Proto-Germanic/habjan%C4%85
The traits of Eve was she was to be Adam’s helpmate and
submissive to her husband. She would
bring forth offspring with child birth pains:
“And the Lord God said, It is not good that the man should be alone, let
us make for him a
help suitable to him.” Sep
Gen 2:18
“And to the woman he said, I will greatly multiply thy pains and thy
groanings; in
pain thou shalt bring forth children, and thy submission shall be to thy husband,
and he shall
rule over thee.” Sep Gen 3:17
The New Testament also states that wives are to be
submissive to their husbands. (Notice
that the verse also states that ‘as is fit in the Lord (Father)’; to me this
means that woman should not submit to things that are against the laws of Moses
even if their husband instructs them to do so.
I believe each woman will be accountable for their own actions when
Jesus returns to judge us. We will not
be able to say our husband made us do it; just as Adam and Eve were both held
accountable in the garden.)
“Wives,
submit yourselves unto your own husbands, as it is fit in the Lord. Husbands,
love your wives, and be not bitter against them.” KJV Col
3:18-19
The Serpent
Our bible also gives us a description of the serpent that
deceived Eve. This serpent could not
have literally have been a snake since it was an intelligent ‘living thing’
that could talk. The word beast or
brutes could have been translated as a ‘living thing’; however, our ancestors
used the word beast or brute.
“Now the serpent [ophis; an artful malicious person,
especially Satan] was the most crafty [phronimos; cautious character, indicates rather intelligence, in a bad
sense conceited] of all the brutes
[thērion; metaph. a brutal, bestial man, savage, ferocious, beast] on the earth, which the Lord God made, and
the serpent said to the woman, Wherefore has God said, Eat not of every tree of
the garden?” Sep
Gen 3:2
“Now the serpent was more subtil [arum;
crafty, prudent, subtil, cunning (usually in a bad sense)] than any beast
[chayyah: living thing, animal] of the field which
the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall
not eat of every tree of the garden?” KJV Gen 3:2
Our Father in Heaven cursed the serpent for deceiving
Eve. This curse would be everlasting
since the serpent’s seed and Eve’s seed is stated.
“And the Lord God said to the woman, Why hast thou done this? And the
woman said, The serpent deceived me and I ate. And the Lord God said to the
serpent, Because thou hast done this thou art cursed above all cattle and all the brutes of
the earth, on thy breast and belly thou shalt go, and thou shalt eat
earth all the days of thy life. And I will put enmity [echthra;
enmity, hostility, alienation] between thee and the woman and between thy seed and her seed, he shall
watch against thy head, and thou shalt watch against his heel.” Sep Gen 3:14-16
The New Testament also mentions the old serpent that
deceives and seduces the whole world:
“And that great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, who is called the
devil and Satan, who seduceth the whole world; and he was cast unto the earth,
and his angels were thrown down with him.” DR Rev 12:9
Therefore this ‘living thing’ can be identified. This ‘living thing’ is never referred to as a
spiritual thing.
Cain
Cain’s name in Greek is Κάϊν or Kain which is of Hebrew
origin Qayin which mean ‘a spear’. Cain’s descendants were called Kenites which
is Qeni or Qini (tribe of Kajin)
in block Hebrew which originates from the word Qayin meaning Cain..
Cain was originally a tiller of the ground which is called a
farmer today:
“And she again bore his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep,
but Cain was
a tiller of the ground.” Sep Gen 4:2
After Cain killed Abel his farming skills were cursed;
therefore, his descendants are probably not a farmer today. Notice that he is worried about other people
killing him; therefore there must be other people on earth besides Adam and
Eve. His curses show that he would not
have a stable homeland.
“And the Lord said, What hast thou done? the voice of thy brother's
blood cries to me out of the ground. And now thou art cursed from the earth
which has opened her mouth to receive thy brother's blood from thy hand. When
thou tillest
the earth, then it shall not continue to give its strength to thee:
thou shalt be groaning
and trembling [tremō;
to "tremble" or fear] on the earth. And Cain said to the Lord God, My crime is
too great for me to be forgiven. If thou castest me out this day from the face
of the earth, and I shall be hidden from thy presence, and I shall be groaning
and trembling upon the earth, then it will be that any one that finds me shall
slay me. And the Lord God
said to him, Not so, any one that slays Cain shall suffer seven-fold vengeance;
and the Lord God set a mark upon Cain that no one that found him might slay him. So Cain went forth from the presence of God
and dwelt in the land of Nod over against Edem.” Sep Gen 4:10-16
“When
thou tillest
the ground, it shall not henceforth yield unto thee her strength; a fugitive [nua: continually, fugitive, make,
to go up and down, be gone away] and a vagabond
[nud:
bemoan, flee, get, mourn, make to move, take pity, remove, shake] shalt thou be in the earth. And Cain said unto the Lord, My punishment
is greater than I can bear. Behold, thou hast driven me out this day from the
face of the earth; and from thy face shall I be hid; and I shall be a fugitive
and a vagabond in the earth; and it shall come to pass, that every one that
findeth me shall slay me.” KJV Gen 4:12-14
Cain is not mentioned as Adam’s son anywhere in the bible
(see Gen 4:17, Gen 5:1-3, 1 Chron 1:1).
Seth
Seth was born to Adam and Eve as a replacement for
Abel. Seth means compensation.
The verse below implies that Cain was not considered worthy seed of Eve to
bring forth descendants.
“And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she conceived and bore a son, and
called his name Seth, saying, For God has raised up to me another seed instead
of Abel, whom Cain slew.” Sep Gen 4:25
Adam and Eve’s son Seth looked like Adam who was made in the
image of our Father in Heaven. The bible
teaches ‘kind after kind’ with all seeds; people, plants and animals (Genesis
chapter 1). Therefore, Seth would also
have a ruddy appearance.
“And Adam lived two hundred and thirty years, and begot a son after his own form,
and after
his own image, and he called his name Seth.” Sep Gen 5:3
Noah
Noe or Noah means rest. Noah’s genes were perfect and his body would
have been considered ruddy.
“And Lamech lived an hundred and eighty and eight years, and begot a
son. And he called his name Noe, saying, This one will cause us to cease from
our works, and from the toils of our hands, and from the earth, which the Lord
God has cursed. And Lamech lived after his begetting Noe, five hundred and
sixty and five years, and begot sons and daughters.” Sep Gen 5:28-30
“But Noe found grace before the Lord God. And these are the generations
of Noe. Noe was a just man; being perfect in his generation [genea; race, stock, family], Noe was well-pleasing to God. And Noe begot
three sons, Sem, Cham, Japheth.” Sep Gen 6:9-11
“And his
body was white as snow and red as the blooming of a rose and the hair of his head and his long locks were
white as wool, and his eyes beautiful.” The Book of Noah 106
Noah was a farmer:
“Now the sons of Noe which came out of the ark, were Sem, Cham, Japheth.
And Cham was father of Chanaan. These three are the sons of Noe, of these were
men scattered over all the earth [ghay; the earth, soil, land, region, country]. And Noe began to be a husbandman [geōrgos; a worker of the soil, husbandman, farmer, farm-laborer,
vine-dresser], and he planted a
vineyard.” Sep Gen
9:18-20
Noah was blessed with many descendants and domain over the
earth. Our Father in Heaven made this
covenant with Noah and his descendants that is to last forever. Our Father in Heaven makes a point to tell
Noah and his sons that man was made in the image of God; therefore, this is an
important point that we are to keep this image of God alive and ongoing.
“And
God blessed
Noe and his sons, and said to them, Increase and multiply, and fill
the earth and have dominion over it. And the dread and the fear
of you shall be upon all the wild beasts of the earth, on all the birds of the
sky, and on all things moving upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the
sea, I have placed them under you power. And every reptile [ἑρπετόν (herpetón); Any animal which walks
on four legs (clean only)] which
is living shall be to you for meat, I have given all things to you as the green
herbs. But flesh with blood of life ye shall not eat. For your blood of your
lives will I require at the hand of all wild beasts, and I will require the
life of man at the hand of his brother man. He that sheds man's blood, instead
of that blood shall his own be shed, for in the image of God I made man [άνθρωπον (anthrōpos); same as
above]. But do ye increase and multiply, and fill the earth, and have
dominion over it. And God spoke to Noe, and to his sons with him, saying, And
behold I
establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you, and with
every living creature with you, of birds and of beasts, and with all the wild
beasts of the earth, as many as are with you, of all that come out of the ark.
And I will establish my covenant with you and all flesh shall not any more die
by the water of the flood, and there shall no more be a flood of water to
destroy all the earth.” Sep Gen 9:1-11
We are not to murder other men known as ‘adam’ in the block
Hebrew since it is the image of our Father in Heaven:
“Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God
made he man [ha·'a·dam (adam) H120, same
as above].” KJV Gen 9:6
Noah’s descendants are documented in Genesis Chapter 10 and
1 Chronicles chapter 1 since keeping track of genealogies was very important in
ancient days to ensure a proper family stock was kept; being ‘kind after kind’.
Shem
Shem or Sem was the oldest son of Noah and he received the
blessing. Shem means
‘name’. A descendant of Shem is
called a Semite. If you are against Shem’s descendants you are
called anti-Semitic. Since Shem received the blessing his descendants would be
numerous.
Sem or Sim painting from a church of the village
of Selezenik of Tver province in Russia
Cham
Cham or Ham means
‘hot’ or ‘sunburnt’. Cham did not
inherit any of the blessings that Noah received due to his misbehavior as shown
below:
“And Cham the father of Chanaan saw the nakedness of his father, and he
went out and told his two brothers without.
And Sem and Japheth having taken a garment, put it on both their backs
and went backwards, and covered the nakedness of their father; and their face
was backward, and they saw not the nakedness of their father. And Noe recovered
from the wine, and knew all that his younger son had done to him. And he said, Cursed be the
servant Chanaan, a slave shall he be to his brethren.” Sep Gen
9:22-25
Since Cham did not receive a blessing, his descendants would
not be numerous. Cham’s son Chanaan or
Canaan was cursed and was to be a servant to Shem since he was born from Cham’s
misbehavior. Cham got his mother
pregnant:
“And the man that lieth with his father's wife hath uncovered his
father's nakedness: both of them shall surely be put to death; their blood
shall be upon them.” KJV Lev 20:11
“For, owing to the transgression of Ham, Canaan erred, And all his seed
shall be destroyed from off the earth and
all the residue thereof, And none springing from him shall be saved
on the day of judgment.” Jubilees 22:21
Noah's
Inebriety is a tapestry that was woven in Brussels according to Michiel
Coxie's design. Michiel was a Flemish painter.
Japheth
Noah’s son Japheth’s name means
‘opened’ from the word meaning expansion. Japheth was prophesized to be
living in the same area as his brother Shem.
Abraham
Abram was a descendant of Noah and inherited Noah’s
blessings plus received new blessings and covenants/promises from our Father in
Heaven. Abram’s birth name means ‘high father’. Our Father in Heaven changed his name to
Abraham which means ‘father
of multitude’. Abraham was told many times he and his descendants would be
blessed and that he would be the father of many nations. Abraham was to have kings descend from him. These promises were to be everlasting to
Abraham’s seed if they keep the covenant of circumcision.
“And the Lord said to Abram, Go forth out of thy land and out of thy
kindred, and out of the house of thy father, and come into the land which I
will shew thee. And I will make thee a great nation [ethnos:a race, people, nation], and I
will bless thee and magnify thy
name, and thou shalt be blessed. And I will bless those that bless thee, and curse those
that curse thee, and in thee shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed.”
Sep Gen 12:1-3
“And Abram was ninety-nine years old, and the Lord appeared to Abram and
said to him, I am thy God, be well-pleasing before me, and be blameless. And I will
establish my covenant between me and thee, and I will multiply thee exceedingly.
And Abram fell upon his face, and God spoke to him, saying, And I, behold! my
covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of a multitude of nations.
And thy name shall no more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraam, for I
have made thee a father of many nations. And I will increase thee very exceedingly,
and I will
make nations of thee, and kings shall come out of thee. And I will
establish my covenant between thee and thy seed after thee, to their
generations, for an everlasting
covenant, to be thy God, and the God of thy seed after thee. And I will give to thee and to thy
seed after thee the land wherein thou sojournest, even all the land of Chanaan for an everlasting
possession [his seed would not
need bombs and military to keep the land if our Father willed it to them],
and I will be to them a God. And God said to Abraam, Thou also shalt fully keep
my covenant, thou and thy seed after thee for their generations. And this is
the covenant which thou shalt fully keep
between me and you, and between thy seed after thee for their generations; every male of
you shall be circumcised. And ye shall be circumcised in the flesh
of your foreskin, and it shall be for a sign of a covenant between me and you.
And the child of eight days old shall be circumcised by you, every male
throughout your generations, and the servant born in the house and he that is
bought with money, of every son of a stranger, who is not of thy seed. He that
is born in thy house, and he that is bought with money shall be surely
circumcised, and my covenant shall be on your flesh for an everlasting
covenant. And the uncircumcised male, who shall not be circumcised in the flesh
of his foreskin on the eighth day, that soul shall be utterly destroyed from its family, for he has broken my covenant.”
Sep Gen 17:1-14
“And Abraam called the name of that place, The Lord hath seen; that they
might say to-day, In the mount the Lord was seen. And an angel of the Lord called Abraam the
second time out of heaven, saying, I have sworn by myself, says the Lord,
because thou hast done this thing, and on my account hast not spared thy
beloved son, surely blessing I will bless thee, and multiplying I will multiply
thy seed as the stars of
heaven, and as the sand which is by the shore of the sea, and thy seed
shall inherit the cities of their enemies. And in thy seed shall all
the nations
of the earth be blessed, because thou hast hearkened to my voice.”
Sep Gen 22:14-18
“As he spoke to our fathers, to Abraham and to his seed for ever.” DR Luke 1:55
“You are the children of the prophets, and of the testament which God
made to our fathers, saying to Abraham: And in thy seed shall all the kindreds [patria:
lineage, family, kindred] of the earth
be blessed.” DR Acts 3:25
Sarah
Sarah’s birth name was Sarai and she was Lot’s sister. Sarah
and Lot were the children of Haran who was Abraham’s brother. Our Father in Heaven changed her name to
Sarah when he made a covenant with her.
Sarai and Sarah both come from the root word ‘Sar’ which means a noble
person. When her name was changed to
Sarah, she formally became a queen
or princess. The title of ‘Sar’ was
used in Russia
until 1918 for their emperors; however it was spelt ‘Tsar’.
“And it came to pass when Abram drew nigh to enter into Egypt, Abram
said to Sara his wife, I know that thou art a fair woman.” Sep Gen
12:11
The Dead Sea Scrolls revealed that Sarah was
very beautiful and her skin was white.
An excerpt was published in the 1956 news, click
here to read full article.
Our Father in Heaven confirms Sarah’s title as a princess or
queen and tells her she will have a son named Isaac. Our Father in Heaven states that Isaac will
become many nations and his offspring will be kings of nations.
“And God said to Abraam, Sara thy wife--her name shall not be called
Sara, Sarrha shall be her name. And I
will bless her, and give thee a son of her, and I will bless him, and he shall become
nations, and kings of nations shall be of him. And Abraam
fell upon his face, and laughed; and spoke in his heart, saying, Shall there be
a child to one who is a hundred years old, and shall Sarrha who is ninety years
old, bear? And Abraam said to God, Let this Ismael live before thee. And God
said to Abraam, Yea, behold, Sarrha thy wife shall bear thee a son, and thou
shalt call his name Isaac; and I will establish my covenant with him, for an
everlasting covenant, to be a God to him and to his seed after him.” Sep Gen 17:15-19
Isaac
Abraham and Sarah’s son Isaac inherited the blessings. Our Father in Heaven promised that Isaac’s
seed would be invited or summoned to be HIS chosen people.
“But God said to Abraam, Let it not be hard before thee concerning the
child, and concerning the bondwoman; in all things whatsoever Sarrha shall say
to thee, hear her voice, for in Isaac shall thy seed be called [kaleō ; I call, invite, name,
summoned]. “ Sep Gen 21:12
Isaac and Rebecca had twin boys that our Father in Heaven
stated would be two different nations.
Esau and Jacob came from the same father and mother; therefore the same
race and ethnicity. It was prophecy that
Esau and Jacob would become two different races.
“And
Isaac prayed the Lord concerning Rebecca his wife, because she was barren; and
the Lord heard him, and his wife Rebecca conceived in her womb. And the babes
leaped within her; and she said, If it will be so with me, why is this to me?
And she went to enquire of the Lord. And the Lord said to her, There are two
nations [ethnos; race, people, tribe,
nation] in
thy womb, and two peoples shall be separated from thy belly, and one
people shall excel the other, and the elder shall serve the younger. And the
days were fulfilled that she should be delivered, and she had twins in her
womb. And the
first came out red, hairy all over like a skin; and she called his name Esau.
And after this came forth his brother, and his hand took hold of the heel of
Esau; and she called his name Jacob. And
Isaac was sixty years old when Rebecca bore them. And the lads grew, and Esau
was a man skilled in hunting, dwelling in the country, and Jacob a simple man,
dwelling in a house. And Isaac loved Esau, because his venison was his food,
but Rebecca loved Jacob.” Sep Gen 25:21-28
Isaac’s seed or descendants were promised to become numerous
and blessed. Notice that it is stated
that Abraham kept our Father in Heaven’s laws; this is proof that most of the
laws of Moses were already in placed prior to Moses’ birth.
“And
sojourn in this land; and I will be with thee, and bless thee, for I will give
to thee and to thy
seed all this land; and I will establish my oath which I
swore to thy father Abraam. And I will multiply thy seed as the stars of heaven; and I will
give to thy seed all this land, and all the nations of the earth shall be blest
in thy seed. Because Abraam thy father hearkened to my voice, and
kept my
injunctions, and my commandments, and my ordinances, and my statutes.”
Sep Gen 26:3-5
Esau
It is important to identify who Esau is today since our
Father in Heaven states he hates him and all of his seed will be
destroyed. It is also important to learn
about Esau so that you do not repeat his mistakes. Esau’s name comes from the word ‘rough’. Esau was also known as ‘Edom’ which comes from the word
‘adom’ meaning red or ruddy. The Greek
and Latin word for Edom is Idumean.
“Lest there be any fornicator [pornos; from pernaō 'to sell off', a
male prostitute. ], or profane
[bebélos; secular, unspiritual, godless, worldly] person, as Esau; who for
one mess, sold his first birthright. For know ye that afterwards, when he
desired to inherit the benediction [blessing], he was
rejected; for he found no place of repentance, although with tears he had
sought it.” DR Heb
12:16-17
Isaac and Rebecca did not like that Esau married Canaanite
woman. As stated above, Canaan was
cursed and none of his seed was to be saved plus Canaan is a descendant of Ham
who received no blessing from Noah.
Therefore, Esau married into a cursed family line that had no blessings
from our Father in Heaven.
“And Esau was forty years old; and he took to wife Judith the daughter
of Beoch the Chettite, and Basemath, daughter of Helon the Chettite. And they were provoking to Isaac and
Rebecca.” Sep Gen 26:34-35
“And the wives of Esau vexed and
provoked Isaac and Rebecca with their works, for they walked not in the
ways of the Lord, but served their father's gods of wood and stone as their
father had taught them, and they were more wicked than their father. And they
went according to the evil desires of their hearts, and they sacrificed and
burnt incense to the Baalim, and Isaac and Rebecca became weary of them.” Jasher 29:14-15
After Esau married Canaanites, Rebekah was worried that if
Jacob also married Canaanites also that her life would have been a waste since
her descendants would not be blessed and would be destroyed (Jubilees 22:21
above). Heth is a son of Canaan (Gen
10:15) who became known as Hittites.
“And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth.
If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters
of the land, what
good shall my life do me?” ASV Gen 27:46
The tables below shows who Esau married were Canaanites plus
he also married the daughter of Ishmael.
Isaac’s blessing to Esau was that he would live by the
sword. It also states that Esau would
serve Jacob Israel and that there will be a time that Esau will break away from
serving Jacob Israel. So Esau’s
descendants would always be fighting or at war with others.
“And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling
shall be of the fatness of the earth, and of the dew of heaven from above. And
thou shalt live
by thy sword, and shalt serve thy brother; and there shall be a time
when thou shalt break and loosen his yoke from off thy neck.” Sep Gen
27:39-40
Jeremiah confirms Rebecca’s fear above that though Esau her
descendants were to be destroyed.
“But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he
shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is destroyed, and his
brethren, and his neighbors; and he is not.” ASV Jer 49:10
The verses below show that Esau is hated by our Father in
Heaven. This proves there is no law
against hating Jesus’ enemies. Esau’s
land was to be taken from him and his descendants would essentially become
homeless.
“I
have loved you, saith the Lord. And ye said, Wherein hast thou loved us? Was
not Esau Jacob's brother? saith the Lord: yet I loved Jacob, and hated Esau and laid
waste [aphanismos; disappearing,
disappearance, obliteration] his
borders, and made his heritage as dwellings of the wilderness?
Because one will say, Idumea [same
as Edom the posterity of Esau]has been overthrown, but let us return and
rebuild the desolate places; thus saith the Lord Almighty, They shall build,
but I will throw down; and they shall be called The borders of wickedness, and,
The people against whom the Lord has set himself for ever.” Sep Mal 1:2-4
“Not of works, but of him that calleth, it was said to her: The elder
shall serve the younger. As it is written: Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated.
What shall we say then? Is there injustice with God? God forbid.” DR Rom
9:12-14
Ezra asked our Father in Heaven how the ages are separated
and how will we know when a new age is starting. In summary though Esau will rule and then
Jacob will rule.
“I answered, “What separates the times? When is the end of the first and
the beginning of that which follows?”
He said to me: “From Abraham to Abraham, because Jacob and Esau were born from him, but Jacob’s hand held Esau’s heel from the outset. Esau represents the end of this age, and Jacob represents the beginning of the following. The beginning of the one man is his hand, and the end of the other man is his heel. Don’t look for anything else between heel and hand, Ezra.”” 2 Esdra 6:7-10
He said to me: “From Abraham to Abraham, because Jacob and Esau were born from him, but Jacob’s hand held Esau’s heel from the outset. Esau represents the end of this age, and Jacob represents the beginning of the following. The beginning of the one man is his hand, and the end of the other man is his heel. Don’t look for anything else between heel and hand, Ezra.”” 2 Esdra 6:7-10
Therefore based on the verses above Esau would serve Jacob, and
then break away and rule until the end of the age then Jacob will begin to rule
again.
Esau sold his birth right and married three women who were
not blessed by our Father in Heaven and these women were descendants of the
cursed Canaan who will be destroyed form the earth when Jesus returns. Esau never really repented (changed his
behavior) since he never got rid of his Canaan wives. It is against the laws of Moses make
covenants with, to pity, or to marry Canaanites (Deu 7:1-3).
Jacob Israel
Jacob was a twin brother is Esau and they were children of
Isaac and Rebecca. Jacob’s name means ‘heel-catcher’ and he was named
that since he held the heel of Esau coming out of Rebecca at birth.
Isaac’s blessing to Jacob:
“And
he drew nigh and kissed him, and smelled the smell of his garments, and blessed him,
and said, Behold, the smell of my son is as the smell of an abundant field,
which the Lord has blessed. And may God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the
earth, and abundance of corn and wine. And let nations serve thee, and princes bow
down to thee, and be thou lord of thy brother, and the sons of thy
father shall do thee reverence; accursed is he that curses thee, and blessed is he that
blesses thee.” Sep Gen 27:27-29
Therefore, Jacob Israel inherited the blessings given to
Abraham originally. Jacob was told his
seed would be numerous like the sand of earth is numerous.
“And the Lord stood upon it, and said, I am the God of thy father
Abraam, and the God of Isaac; fear not, the land on which thou liest, to thee will I
give it, and to thy seed. And thy seed shall be as the sand of the earth;
and it shall
spread abroad to the sea, and the south, and the north, and to the east;
and in thee and in
thy seed shall all the tribes of the earth be blessed. And
behold I am with thee to preserve thee continually in all the way wherein thou
shalt go; and I
will bring thee back to this land; for I will not desert thee, until I
have done all that I have said to thee.” Sep Gen 28:13-15
Jacob Israel’s descendants agreed by saying ‘so be it’
(Amen) that curses will come upon them if they do not follow the laws of Moses. These curses will only come to Jacob Israel’s
descendants since they are the only ones that agreed to follow the laws of
Moses.
“Cursed is every man that continues not in all the words of this law
to do them: and all
the people shall say, So be it.”
Sep Deu 27:26
Deuteronomy chapter 28 explains the blessings to be received
when the law is followed and cursing for not following the laws of Moses. Below are a couple of the curses for not
following the law. Who is receiving
these curses today and who is reaping the benefit?
“The
stranger that is within thee shall get up very high, and thou shalt come down
very low. He shall lend
to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt
be the tail. And all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall
pursue thee, and shall overtake thee, until he shall have consumed thee, and until he shall
have destroyed thee; because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord
thy God, to keep his commands, and his ordinances which he has
commanded thee. And these things shall be signs in thee, and wonders among thy seed for
ever; because thou didst not serve the Lord thy God with
gladness and a good heart, because of the abundance of all things.” Sep Deu
28:43-47
Jeremiah promised of a new covenant with the house of Israel
and Judah:
“Behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, that I will make a new covenant
with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: not according
to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by
the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they brake,
although I was a husband unto them, saith Jehovah. But this is the covenant
that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, saith Jehovah: I will put my
law in their inward parts, and in their heart will I write it; and I
will be their God, and they shall be my people: and they shall teach no more
every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know Jehovah; for
they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith
Jehovah: for I will forgive their iniquity, and their sin will I remember no
more.” ASV Jer 31:31-34
Paul explains in the letter to the Hebrews that the new
covenant was made with the house of Israel and Judah. No one else was mentioned.
“For if that first covenant had been faultless, then would no place have
been sought for a second. For finding fault with them, he saith, Behold, the
days come, saith the Lord, That I will make a new covenant with the house of
Israel and with the house of Judah; Not according to the covenant that I made
with their fathers In the day that I took them by the hand to lead them forth
out of the land of Egypt; For they continued not in my covenant, And I regarded
them not, saith the Lord. For this is the covenant that I will make with the
house of Israel After those days, saith the Lord; I will put my laws into their mind, And on
their heart also will I write them: And I will be to them a God, And
they shall be to me a people: And they shall not teach every man his
fellow-citizen, And every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: For all shall
know me, From the least to the greatest of them. For I will be merciful to
their iniquities, And their sins will I remember no more.” ASV Heb 8:7-12
Our Father in Heaven wrote the law on our heart and down
deep we know right from wrong. Adamites
are the only ones to show shame by blushing in the face. The verb blush means “To become red in the face due to shyness, shame, excitement, or
embarrassment.”
This link provides 19 verses regarding blushing in the
bible:

sons: he kept thine oracles, and observed thy covenant. They shall declare
thine ordinances to Jacob, and thy law to Israel: they shall place incense in
the time of thy wrath continually upon thine altar. Bless, Lord, his strength,

thou liest as a lion, and as a whelp; who
shall stir him up? A ruler shall not fail
from Juda, nor a prince from his loins, until there come the things stored up for
him; and he is the expectation of nations. Binding his foal to the vine, and

days’ (Gen 49:2)

pressed hard upon him. But their bow and
arrows were mightily consumed, and the sinews of their arms were slackened by the hand of the mighty one of Jacob; thence is he that strengthened
Israel from the God of thy father; and my God helped thee, and he blessed thee with the blessing of heaven from
above, and the blessing of the earth
possessing all things, because of the blessing of
the breasts and of the womb, the blessings
of thy father and thy mother--it has prevailed above the blessing of the lasting
mountains, and beyond the blessings
of the everlasting hills; they shall be upon
the head of Joseph, and upon the head of the brothers of whom he took the
lead.” Gen 49:22-26
Moses blessing to Joseph:
“And to Joseph
he said, His land is of the blessing of the
Lord, of the seasons of sky and dew, and of the deeps of wells below, and of
the fruits of the changes of the sun in season, and of the produce of the months, from the top of the ancient mountains, and from the top of the everlasting hills, and of the fullness
of the land in season: and let the things pleasing to him that dwelt in the
bush come on the head of Joseph, and on the crown of
him who was glorified above his brethren. His beauty is as the firstling of his
bull, his horns
are the horns of a unicorn;
with them he shall thrust the nations at once, even from the end of the earth:
these are the ten thousands of Ephraim, and
these are the thousands of Manasse.” Deu
33:13-17
Joseph in 1590
Joseph received the land inheritance that was originally
given to Abraham. This land inheritance
was passed down to Ephraim from Jacob directly.
Reflected below is Jacob Israel’s blessing given to Ephraim and
Manasseh:
“And it came to pass after these
things, that it was reported to Joseph,
Behold, thy father is ill; and, having taken his two sons, Manasse and Ephraim,
he came to Jacob. And it was reported to
Jacob, saying, Behold, thy son Joseph cometh to thee; and Israel having
strengthened himself, sat upon the bed. And Jacob said to Joseph, My God appeared to me in Luza, in the land of
Chanaan, and blessed me, and said to me, Behold, I
will increase thee, and multiply thee,
and will make of thee multitudes of nations;
and I will give this land to thee,
and to thy seed after thee, for an
everlasting possession. Now then thy two sons, who were born to thee in the
land of Egypt, before I came to thee into Egypt, are mine; Ephraim and Manasse,
as Ruben and Symeon they shall be mine.
And the children which thou shalt beget hereafter, shall be in the name
of their brethren; they shall be named after their inheritances. And as for me,
when I came out of Mesopotamia of Syria, Rachel, thy mother, died in the land
of Chanaan, as I drew night to the horse-course of Chabratha of the land of
Chanaan, so as to come to Ephratha; and I buried her in the road of the course;
this is Bethlehem. And when Israel saw the sons of Joseph, he said, Who are
these to thee? And Joseph said to his father, They are my sons, whom God gave
me here; and Jacob said, Bring me them, that I may bless them. Now the eyes of
Israel were dim through age, and he could not see; and he brought them near to
him, and he kissed them, and embraced them. And Israel said to Joseph, Behold,
I have not been deprived of seeing thy face, and lo! God has showed me thy seed also.
And Joseph brought them out from between his knees, and they did reverence to
him, with their face to the ground. And Joseph took his two sons, both Ephraim in his right hand, but on the left of Israel, and Manasse
on his left hand, but on the right of Israel, and brought them near to
him. But Israel having stretched out his
right hand, laid it on the head of Ephraim, and he was the younger; and his left hand on the head of Manasse, guiding his
hands crosswise. And he blessed them and
said, The God in whose sight my fathers were well pleasing, even Abraam and
Isaac, the God who continues to feed me from my youth until this day; the angel
who delivers me from all evils, bless these boys, and my name shall be
called upon them, and the name of my fathers, Abraam and Isaac; and let
them be increased to a great multitude on the earth.
And Joseph having seen that his father put his right hand on the head of
Ephraim--it seemed grievous to him; and Joseph took hold of the hand of his
father, to remove it from the head of Ephraim to the head of Manasse. And
Joseph said to his father, Not so, father; for this is the first-born; lay thy
right-hand upon his head. And he would not, but said, I know it, son, I know
it; he also shall be a people, and he shall be
exalted, but his younger brother shall be
greater than he, and his seed shall become a multitude of nations. And he
blessed them in that day, saying, In you shall Israel be blessed, saying, God
make thee as Ephraim and Manasse; and he set Ephraim before Manasse. And Israel
said to Joseph, Behold, I die; and God shall be with you, and restore you to
the land of your fathers. And I give to thee Sicima, a select portion above thy
brethren, which I took out of the hand of the Amorites with my sword and bow.”
Sep Gen 48

however, the Greek Septuagint was documented in 400BC and is much older than
the text of King James and it does not reflect a deer.
“And Balla, Rachel's maid,
conceived yet again, and bore a second son to Jacob. And Rachel said, God has
helped me, and I contended with my sister and
prevailed; and she called his name, Nephthalim.”

he said, Blessed be he that enlarges Gad: as a lion
he rested, having broken the arm and the ruler. And he saw his first-fruits,

as thy days, so shall be thy strength.” Deu 33:24-25

King David
King David was described as a being ruddy with a fair
countenance. David inherited the royal
line from Judah that was originally given to Abraham.
“And he sent and fetched him: and he was ruddy, with beauty of eyes, and very
goodly to behold. And the Lord said to Samuel, Arise, and anoint David, for he is good.”
Sep 1Sa 16:12
“And Goliath saw David, and despised him; for he was a lad, and ruddy, with a
fair countenance.” Sep 1Sa 17:42
“Thou shalt sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be purified: thou shalt
wash me, and I shall be made whiter than snow.” Sep Psa 51:7
King David was promised that he would always have a
descendant on the throne:
“And the word of Jehovah came unto Jeremiah, saying, Thus saith Jehovah:
If ye can break my covenant of the day, and my covenant of the night, so that
there shall not be day and night in their season; then may also my covenant be
broken with David my servant, that he shall not have a son to reign upon his throne;
and with the Levites the priests, my ministers.” DR Jer 33:19-21

Jesus Christ
Jesus tells Philip that he looks like ‘the Father’;
therefore, both Adam and Jesus were made in our Father in Heaven’s image. This means to me that they both have a ruddy
complexion.
“Jesus
saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known
me, Philip? he
that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then,
Shew us the Father?” KJV John 14:9
John provides a description of Jesus in Revelation:
“And
his head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; and his eyes were as a
flame of fire [hottest part is blue]; and his feet like unto
burnished brass, as if it had been refined in a furnace; and his voice as the
voice of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his
mouth proceeded a sharp two-edged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth [glow ruddy] in his strength. “ Rev `1:14-16

Prophecy
As stated above, Esau represented the end of this age and
Jacob the beginning of the next.
“I answered, “What separates the times? When is the end of the first and
the beginning of that which follows?” He said to me: “From Abraham to Abraham, because Jacob and Esau were born from
him, but Jacob’s hand held Esau’s heel from the outset. Esau represents the end of this age, and
Jacob represents the beginning of the following. The beginning of
the one man is his hand, and the end of the other man is his heel. Don’t look
for anything else between heel and hand, Ezra.”” 2 Esdra 6:7-10
Paul tells us that there will be a great falling away before
Jesus returns and that the man of sin will be revealed during this time. Is this man of sin Esau that represents the
end of the age? Is it Esau that is
sitting in the temple and taking the place of our Father in Heaven?
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our
gathering together unto him, That ye be not soon shaken in mind, or
be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that
the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day
shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed,
the son of perdition; Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is
called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself
that he is God.” 2 Thes 2:1-4
Who are these Israelites that have fallen away from our
Father in Heaven’s truth?
“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan [Satanas: the adversary, accuser]
with all power and signs and lying wonders, And with all deceivableness of
unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the
truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion [a
departure from what God says is true], that they should believe a lie: That they all
might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness.” 2 Thes 2:9-12
The city gates that are prophesied to come when Jesus
returns only contain entry gates for the tribes of Israel:
“And these are the goings out of the city: on the north side thou shalt
measure four thousand and five hundred. And the gates of the city according to
the names of the tribes of Israel, three gates on the north side, the gate of
Ruben one, the gate of Juda one, the gate of Levi one. And at the east side,
four thousand and five hundred: and three gates, the gate of Joseph one, the
gate of Benjamin one, the gate of Dan one. And at the south side, thou shalt measure
four thousand and five hundred: and three gates, the gate of Simeon one, the
gate of Issachar one, the gate of Zabulon one. And at the west side, four
thousand and five hundred, and their three gates, the gate of Gad one, the gate
of Aser one, the gate of Nephthali one. Its circumference was eighteen
thousand: and the name of the city from that day, The Lord is there. “ DR Eze
48:30-35
Only people of the tribes of Israel will be sealed in the
Revelation of John:
“And I heard the number of them that were sealed, a hundred and forty
and four thousand, sealed out of every tribe of the children of Israel:
Of the tribe of Judah were sealed twelve thousand: Of the tribe of Reuben
twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Gad twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Asher
twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Naphtali twelve thousand; Of the tribe of
Manasseh twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Simeon twelve thousand; Of the tribe
of Levi twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Issachar twelve thousand; Of the tribe
of Zebulun twelve thousand; Of the tribe of Joseph twelve thousand; Of the
tribe of Benjamin were sealed twelve thousand.” ASV Rev 7:4-8
Conclusion
The bible is the best history book we have. Why would the Caucasian race carry around the
history of another race of people for all these years? Why would the Caucasian race be devoted
missionaries of the gospel? Why would
they paint the biblical people in the likeness of Caucasians? No other race has truly performed the work of
our Father in Heaven like the Caucasian race has through history.
