Spiritual Warfare: Tracing Anti-Black Racism to the Edomites (Esau)
This message was shared on WhatsApp. Feel free to share in your own networks. Our people are showing renewed interest in the Edomites of the Bible. This helps explain the continuous racism we experience as Black people. It is a spiritual battle. Edomites descend from Esau, whom Scripture associates with opposition to Jacob. Over time they became linked with systemic anti-Black prejudice. Some historians even dubbed ancient Rome the “Edomite Empire.” Here is a summary drawn from various sources. Teach this to our children so they recognize the roots of undeserved bias. Use the Esau vs Jacob poster as a teaching aid.
