Bereshit/Genesis In the Beginning

Chapter 19 Monday 06th May, 2019

Welcome to the Team ‘D’ Bible Study Bereshit/Genesis Chapter 19 part c

Sodom, Gomorrah, Moab, Ammon and the Seed of Abraham – Genesis 19

Is Sodom real

https://www.breakingisraelnews.com/117449/scientists-confirm-sodom-gomorrah/


Introduction Sodom and Gomorrah, cities in the plain. Moab and Ammon, nations they became. Two cities, two nations that

have connections to Israel (Northern and Southern Kingdoms), and the end time transition back to the united

kingdom of Israel in the rulership of The Anointed One. As Abraham and Lot are tied at the hip, so too are their

dependants. Abraham had much love for his nephew, a man who could have filled the role of his son if he had his

way. Abraham represents stability whereas, Lot portrayed uncertainty, indecision and unwise choices. But YHWH

Elohim loved them both and showed Lot mercy on account of his uncle Abraham. Lot’s sons, Moab and Ammon,

were born out of chaos and poor judgement. But YHWH Elohim considered them because of their father Lot.

Moab and Ammon are tied to “Israel and Judah”, “Sodom and Gomorrah” and events to unfold for the end time.

This presentation focuses on parallels between the doomed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah with connections to

the children of Abraham and Lot and our current generation. Sodom and Gomorrah is presented in this third study

of Genesis 19 because of the expansiveness of the topic and a mere gloss in the previous studies would not suffice.

This topic is important given the signs of the times, and the command from the Anointed One about the faithful

watching and praying. This presentation is a guide towards additional study on YHWH Elohim judgement related

through his prophets.

Bereshit/Genesis 19 Commentary

Where is Sodom & Gomorrah?


The account of Sodom and Gomorrah is found in the

Torah (Law of Mosses), and post destruction

described as a lush and flourishing land:

(Gen 13:8-11 Brenton) 8And Abram said to

Lot, Let there not be a strife between me and

thee, and between my herdmen and thy

herdmen, for we are brethren. 9Lo! is not the

whole land before thee? Separate thyself from

me; if thou goest to the left, I will go to the

right, and if thou goest to the right, I will go to

the left. 10And Lot having lifted up his eyes,

observed all the country round about Jordan,

that it was all watered, before God overthrew

Sodom and Gomorrha, as the garden of the

Lord, and as the land of Egypt, until thou come

to Zogora. 11And Lot chose for himself all the

country round Jordan, and Lot went from the

east, and they were separated each from his

brother. And Abram dwelt in the land of

Chanaan.

Given the redrawing of geographical boundaries (Sykes-Picot Agreement), and the renaming of places, locating biblical territories can be a challenge. Looking at the google map screenshot we have Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan sharing a border separated by the river Jordan. This area is arid and there are disputes regarding water rites: Water politics in the Jordan River basin refers to political issues of water within the Jordan River drainage basin, including competing claims and water usage, and issues of riparian rights of surface water along transnational rivers, as well as the availability and usage of ground water. Water resources in the region are scarce, and these issues directly affect the five political subdivisions (Israel, the Palestinian West Bank territory, Lebanon, Syria and Jordan) located within and bordering the basin, which were created since the collapse, during World War I, of the former single controlling entity, the Ottoman Empire. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Water_politics_in_the_Jordan_River_basin)


Stepping pack to Genesis 14, the cities under judgement are mentioned when Lot was kidnaped and his ‘Saviour’, Uncle Abraham, came to his rescue: (Gen 14:8 Brenton) 8And the king of Sodom went out, and the king of Gomorrha, and king of Adama, and king of Seboim, and king of Balac, this is Segor, and they set themselves in array against them for war in the salt valley,

This area is also termed ‘The cities of the plain’: According to the Torah, the kingdoms of Sodom and Gomorrah were allied with the cities of Admah, Zeboim, and Bela. These five cities, also known as the "cities of the plain" (from Genesis in the Authorized Version), were situated on the Jordan River plain in the southern region of the land of Canaan. The plain was compared to the garden of Eden[Gen.13:10] as being well-watered and green, suitable for grazing livestock.

These cities dotted the riverbank and were not in a cluster as some believe

This location is accessible and there are ‘visible signs’ of a civilization existing, and being destroyed, in the areas shown in the previous map.

From the visual signs, there is no doubt that there were cities in the locations, and those cities flourishing for a period. Weather these cities are those mentioned in the Torah, given the ‘visible signs’, the evidence would be in disputed by those who want to destroy the name of YHWH Elohim and everything he stands for.

The visual evidence backs the biblical account of the cities being along the banks of the Jordan river. There are many videos that document this evidence and would be linked on the bible study website.

Where is Moab and Ammon, and are these people still living?

Where is Moab and Ammon, and are these people still

living?

For a certainty it can be assumed that people of the cities of the plains are no

more. But what about the children of Lot (Moab & Ammon). Over time, and

myriad of conflicts, people have been migrating either forcefully or voluntary.

Using Lot, and the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah as an example:

Lot – Lot and his possessions were taken, when the Kings of the East went to battle with

the Kings of the plain, and Lot was rescued by his uncle:

– Genesis 14: 11 - 13

Israel – The kingdom of Israel was taken into captivity, forcefully removed, by King

Salamanassar, king of the Assyrians:

– 2 Kings 18: 9 – 12

The inhabitants, of the Kingdom of Israel, never returned to the land and was replaced

with Gentiles who now make up the people group called the Samaritans and hence the

Samaritan Pentateuch. From this one can understand the discussion the Anointed One had

with the Samaritan woman at the well.

Judah – The kingdom of Judah was taken into captivity twice:

– Jeremiah 29 (MT)/Jeremiah 36 (LXX)

– The destruction of the ‘Second Temple’ and the Roman Exile


https://www.onespot.com/wp-content/uploads/7_people.jpg


This forced movement of people was used as a form of punishment and

subjugation of people:

Exile in the Hebrew Bible by Martien A. Halvorson-Taylor

Exile (Hebrew galut), or forced migration, is a theme that recurs throughout the Hebrew

Bible, starting with Adam and Eve, who are forced to leave Eden (Gen 3:23-24). The story of

Israel’s formation begins when Abraham is exiled from his kin and his land to the land that

Yahweh promises to him (Gen 12:1-2). Jacob and Joseph spend time in exile and Moses lives

his whole life in exile.

The threat and the reality of exile resurface time and again within the Hebrew Bible and

punctuate some of its major canonical divisions. The first five books of the Hebrew Bible (the

Pentateuch/Torah) end with Israel anticipating its entry into the Promised Land but perched

on the edge of the Jordan River, still in exile; the fulfillment of the promise of the land is still

elusive. The next section of the canon, the Deuteronomistic History (Deuteronomy through

Kings), ends with the Babylonian captivity.

Historically, Israel and Judah experienced a number of major exiles. Foremost among these

was the exile of the northern kingdom of Israel at the hands of the Assyrians around 720

B.C.E. These exiled people were presumably deported and scattered within the Assyrian

Empire, although we know little of their fate. Their dispersal gave rise to the tradition of the

“ten lost tribes of Israel.”


https://i2.wp.com/upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/7/7d/Arch_of_Titus_Menorah.png?resize=454%2C253

In 597 B.C.E., the elite of the southern kingdom of Judah, including the prophet Ezekiel, were exiled by the Babylonians; and in 586 B.C.E., when the temple was sacked and burned by the Babylonians, a new wave of Judean exiles arrived in Babylon. Others fled to Egypt, although a significant number of Judeans also remained behind in Judah. By the sixth century B.C.E., there were vibrant pockets of Jewish exiles living in both Egypt and Mesopotamia. https://www.bibleodyssey.org/en/places/related-articles/exile-in-the-hebrew-bible


Looking at the ‘Arab Spring’ conflicts, that saw the overthrow of many

authoritarian governments in the Geo-Political regions of northern Africa and the

Middle East (former lands of the Ottoman Empire) and also the Venezuelan

situation. These conflicts saw the resurgence of slavery in Libya and a ‘so called’

refugee crisis in Syria, and now mass migration to the surrounding regions of

Venezuela. Though tragic, lets not get our emotions in the way of the reality of

these events. Resulting from these conflicts is a similar situation to the forced

migrations of peoples in biblical times. The optics of the situation is a little

different because of how the media frames the narrative for public consumption.

The hidden powers, behind it all, have orchestrated conflicts to hide their true

intensions. The deck is being stacked as their vision of society is shaped just as

the tower of Babel. Many of the migrants, caught up in the chaos, are just as

unawares of the true intensions. Many may thing that escaping to the west is a

fresh start and a great opportunity to realise personal dream. For many, the

migration to western lands have not materialised the success they were

expecting. The hidden powers are just using people to achieve their alternate

goal of usurping the authority of our YHWH Elohim as they continue to defy his

instructions and mess with his order.

Moab and Ammon, like Israel was appropriated land by YHWH Elohim:

Edom, Moab, and Ammon In History

The Biblical people called by the names above once occupied the territory we know today

as Jordan, the nation due east of Israel. Not many people realize that Edom, Moab, and

Ammon were given their homelands by God himself (Deut. 2:5, 9, 19) just like Israel was.

And just like Israel was told to clear the land west of the Jordan River of the people who

lived there at the time, Edom, Moab, and Ammon were told to perform the same service

for God on the Eastern side (Deut. 2:10-12, 20-22).

• (Deu 2:18-19 Brenton) 18Thou shalt pass over this day the borders of Moab to Aroer; 19and ye shall

draw nigh to the children of Amman: do not quarrel with them, nor wage war with them; for I will

not give thee of the land of the children of Amman for an inheritance, because I have given it to

the children of Lot for an inheritance.

One of the people groups they eliminated was the Rephaites (Rephaim), an ancient group

of loosely related tribes of giants who are often thought to be descendants of the

Nephilim, mentioned in Genesis 6. In fact, when the 12 Israelite spies first went into the

promised land they reported seeing Nephilim there (Numbers 13:33). The Rephaites were

a mysterious people about whom the Bible says very little, except that Israel, Edom, Moab,

and Ammon were all given the task of destroying them and taking their land.

Continued - Moab and Ammon, like Israel was appropriated land by YHWH Elohim:

This land now encompasses the modern day Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan (Iraq was also a Hashemite kingdom before the monarch was overthrown and eventually led by the puppet Saddam Hussein). The capital of the kingdom is Amman, based on the Greek

transliteration of the name, and encompasses the former lands (Nations) of Ammon,

Moab and Edom. Edom is a separate topic on it’s own and is also intertwined with Israel

and Judah.

From our perspective, these Semitic peoples are presumed to be extinct, but do not let

their non mention lead you to complacency. They are ‘entangled in their lands’ waiting

for the moment of their eventual reveal. The land gives us clues to their existence if one

is to pay attention. The children of Moab and Ammon are known to YHWH Elohim, and

rest assured, He has His very watchful eyes on them. At the appointed time they would

feature in the restoration of His kingdom through the Anointed One.

Ruth of Moab

Ruth of Moab

King David had a very interesting ancestor that poses a problem for some. The story of Ruth, from the

scroll/book, attributed to her name is a narrative of a Hebrew family of Judah, going into self imposed

exile into Moab because of famine. This famine may have been as a result of Israel’s (Unified)

reluctance to follow the instructions given through the servant Moses from YHWH Elohim.

When this family moved to Moab all seemed well. The children grew up and married and then tragedy

struck:

• Rth 1:3-5 Brenton 3And Elimelech the husband of Noemin died; and she was left, and her two

sons. 4And they took to themselves wives, women of Moab; the name of the one was Orpha, and

the name of the second Ruth; and they dwelt there about ten years. 5And both Maalon and Chelaion

died also; and the woman was left of her husband and her two sons.

Being now a widow, Naomi decides to return to Israel and live out her life after hearing about the

change in fortunes in the land:

• Rth 1:6 Brenton 6And she rose up and her two daughters-in-law, and they returned out of the

country of Moab, for she heard in the country of Moab that the Lord had visited his people to give

them bread.

The disputes with Ruth is whether she is of the people of Moab, or Israelites who had previously

migrated to the land of Moab and became citizens taking on the persona. There are some who do not

want to accept that a Moabitess can be an ancestor of King David, and further have a connection to the

Anointed One.


http://www.khandipages.com/maatguidesme2u/daughters_of_ruth_moabite/fmg_lessons/images/Ruth.jpg

Ruth of Moab

Let the words from the scroll/book of Ruth speak for itself as the narrative is picked up from verse seven

of chapter one (Keep in mind that these are Semitic people and not modern westerners):

(Rth 1:7-22 Brenton) 7And she went forth out of the place where she was, and her two daughters-in-law with

her: and they went by the way to return to the land of Juda. 8And Noemin said to her daughter-in-law, Go now,

return each to the house of her mother: the Lord deal mercifully with you, as ye have dealt with the dead, and

with me. 9The Lord grant you that ye may find rest each of you in the house of her husband: and she kissed

them; and they lifted up their voice, and wept. 10And they said to her, We will return with thee to thy people. 11And Noemin said, Return now, my daughters; and why do ye go with me? have I yet sons in my womb to be

your husbands? 12Turn now, my daughters, for I am too old to be married: for I said, Suppose I were married, and

should bear sons; 13would ye wait for them till they should be grown? or would ye refrain from being married for

their sakes? Not so, my daughters; for I am grieved for you, that the hand of the Lord has gone forth against me. 14And they lifted up their voice, and wept again; and Orpha kissed her mother-in-law and returned to her

people; but Ruth followed her. 15And Noemin said to Ruth, Behold, thy sister-in-law has returned to her people

and to her gods; turn now thou also after thy sister-in-law. 16And Ruth said, Intreat me not to leave thee, or to

return from following thee; for whithersoever thou goest, I will go, and wheresoever thou lodgest, I will lodge;

thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God. 17And wherever thou diest, I will die, and there will I be

buried: the Lord do so to me, and more also, if I leave thee, for death only shall divide between me and thee. 18And Noemin seeing that she was determined to go with her, ceased to speak to her any more. 19And they went

both of them until they came to Bethleem: and it came to pass, when they arrived at Bethleem, that all the city

rang with them, and they said, Is this Noemin? 20And she said to them, Nay, do not call me Noemin; call me

'Bitter,' for the Mighty One has dealt very bitterly with me.



Ruth of Moab

Let the words from the scroll/book of Ruth speak for itself as the narrative is picked up from verse seven

of chapter one (Keep in mind that these are Semitic people and not modern westerners):

(Rth 1:7-22 Brenton) 21I went out full, and the Lord has brought me back empty: and why call ye me Noemin,

whereas the Lord has humbled me and the Mighty One has afflicted me? 22So Noemin and Ruth the Moabitess,

her daughter-in-law, returned from the country of Moab; and they came to Bethleem in the beginning of barley

harvest.

Ruth is connected to Abraham via her distant father Lot. She married into Israel abandoning the ways of her

people Moab and adopting righteousness. She is still referred to as of Moab:

– Rth 4:1-5 Brenton 1And Booz went up to the gate, and sat there; and behold, the relative passed by, of whom Booz spoke: and Booz said to him, Turn aside, sit down here, such a one: and he turned aside and sat down. 2And Booz took ten men of the elders of the city, and said, Sit ye here; and they sat down. 3And Booz said to the relative, The matter regards the portion of the field which was our brother Elimelech's which was given to Noemin, now returning out of the land of Moab; 4and I said, I will inform thee, saying, Buy it before those that sit, and before the elders of my people: if thou wilt redeem it, redeem it, but if thou wilt not redeem it, tell me, and I shall know; for there is no one beside thee to do the office of a kinsman, and I am after thee: and he said, I am here, I will redeem it. 5And Booz said, In the day of thy buying the field of the hand of Noemin and of Ruth the Moabitess the wife of the deceased, thou must also buy her, so as to raise up the name of the dead upon his inheritance.

Also, mentioned in the genealogy of the Anointed One:

– Mat 1:5-6 KJV 5And Salmon begat Booz of Rachab; and Booz begat Obed of Ruth; and Obed begat Jesse; 6And Jesse begat David the king; and David the king begat Solomon of her that had been the wife of Urias;

YHWH Elohim is no respecter of persons as it relates to His instructions. Even if you are home born, and

disrespected his instructions, you are judged according to His righteousness. Ruth the Moabitess took on his way

and found a place among Israel, unlike her sister-in-law who returned to the Gods of Moab. Like her distant uncle

Abraham, she left those ways behind in Moab and journeyed to the promised land not looking back her distant

grandmother.




Notable verses mentioning Sodom, Gomorrah, Moab & Ammon


The words of YHWH Elohim through the prophets makes mention of Sodom, Gomorrah, Moab and Ammon in connection

with the divided peoples of Israel. These mentions are for the time of the end when His plan of restoration, through his

Anointed One, begins. These passages of scripture should be mentioned in the same breath as the many reference coming

out of the scroll/book of Revelation (Apocalypse). Many of these passages, from the prophets, may fit in an inconvenient way

into end time doctrines, and becomes a problem when trying to bridge the ‘Old’ and the ‘New’. These references are from the

prophets and extra biblical sources:

• Isaiah – Sodom & Gomorrah

– (Isa 1:8-10 KJV) 8And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a

besieged city. 9Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we

should have been like unto Gomorrah. 10Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our

God, ye people of Gomorrah.

– (Isa 3:9 KJV) 9The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide

it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves.

– (Isa 13:19-22 KJV) 19And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldees' excellency, shall be as when

God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah. 20It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in from generation to

generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch tent there; neither shall the shepherds make their fold there. 21But wild beasts

of the desert shall lie there; and their houses shall be full of doleful creatures; and owls shall dwell there, and satyrs shall

dance there. 22And the wild beasts of the islands shall cry in their desolate houses, and dragons in their pleasant palaces:

and her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.



These references are from the prophets and extra biblical sources:

• Jeremiah - Sodom & Gomorrah

– (Jer 23:13-15 KJV) 13And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria; they prophesied in Baal, and caused my people

Israel to err. 14I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies:

they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as

Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah. 15Therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts concerning the prophets;

Behold, I will feed them with wormwood, and make them drink the water of gall: for from the prophets of Jerusalem is

profaneness gone forth into all the land.

– (Jer 49:17-18 KJV/29: 17-18 LXX) 17Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at

all the plagues thereof. 18As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the LORD, no man shall

abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.

– (Jer 50:38-40 KJV/27: 38-40 LXX) 38A drought is upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of

graven images, and they are mad upon their idols. 39Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the

islands shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell therein: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it be

dwelt in from generation to generation. 40As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith

the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell therein.




• Ezekiel - Sodom & Gomorrah

– (Eze 16:48-50 LXX) 48As I live, saith the Lord, this Sodom and her daughters have not done as thou and thy daughters

have done. 49Moreover this was the sin of thy sister Sodom, pride: she and her daughters lived in pleasure, in fullness of

bread and in abundance: this belonged to her and her daughters, and they helped not the hand of the poor and needy. 50And they boasted, and wrought iniquities before me: so I cut them off as I saw fit.

• Amos - Sodom & Gomorrah

– (Amo 4:10-12 LXX) 10I sent pestilence among you by the way of Egypt, and slew your young men with the sword,

together with thy horses that were taken captive; and in my wrath against you I set fire to your camps: yet not even thus

did ye return to me, saith the Lord. 11I overthrew you, as God overthrew Sodoma and Gomorrha, and ye became as a

brand plucked out of the fire: yet not even thus did ye return to me, saith the Lord. 12Therefore thus will I do to thee, O

Israel: nay because I will do thus to thee, prepare to call on thy God, O Israel.

• Jeremiah - Ammon

– (Jer 49:1-3 KJV) 1Concerning the Ammonites, thus saith the LORD; Hath Israel no sons? hath he no heir? why then doth their king

inherit Gad, and his people dwell in his cities? 2Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will cause an alarm of war to

be heard in Rabbah of the Ammonites; and it shall be a desolate heap, and her daughters shall be burned with fire: then shall Israel

be heir unto them that were his heirs, saith the LORD. 3Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled: cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, gird you with

sackcloth; lament, and run to and fro by the hedges; for their king shall go into captivity, and his priests and his princes together.




• Isaiah – Moab

– (Isa 15:1-2 LXX) 1THE WORD AGAINST THE LAND OF MOAB. By night the land of Moab shall be destroyed; for by night

the wall of the land of Moab shall be destroyed. 2Grieve for yourselves; for even Debon, where your altar is, shall be

destroyed: thither shall ye go up to weep, over Nabau of the land of Moab: howl ye: baldness shall be on every head, and

all arms shall be wounded.

• Zephaniah – Moab and Ammon

– (Zep 2:8-9 LXX) 8I have heard the revilings of Moab, and the insults of the children of Ammon, wherewith they have

reviled my people, and magnified themselves against my coasts. 9Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord of hosts, the God of

Israel, Moab shall be as Sodoma, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrha; and Damascus shall be left as a heap of

the threshing-floor, and desolate for ever: and the remnant of my people shall plunder them, and the remnant of my

nations shall inherit them.

• Esdras – Sodom and Gomorrah

saith the Almighty Lord.

Putting things into perspective

Putting things into perspective The children of Lot features prominently with the children of Israel throughout their

histories, and in the end times. Their respective borders were not that distant from

each other with various levels of influence. As highlighted by Bruce Routledge:

In the Hebrew Bible, the relationship between Israel and Moab is an enigma. On one

hand, Moab is the enemy. Moabite history begins with an ethnic joke that goes back

to Lot’s incestuous relations with his daughters, implying that the similarity in Hebrew

between Mo’abi (“Moabite”) and me’abi (“from my father”) was no coincidence (Gen

19:37). Moabite women lead the men of Israel into sin during the exodus (Num 25:1-

2) and Solomon into sin as king (1Kgs 11:1, 1Kgs 11:7). The offspring of such unions

are barred from entering the assembly of Yahweh even after ten generations,

according to Deut 23:3. The Moabite king Balak hires Balaam to curse the Israelites

but is foiled by a talking donkey (Num 22-24), and a later Moabite monarch, Eglon,

oppresses Israel until he is assassinated by the clever Ehud from the tribe of

Benjamin (Judg 3:12-30). The victorious King David is said to have systematically

executed two out of every three Moabite captives (2Sam 8:2). Elisha prophesies

water in the desert and victory over Moab, but when the king of Moab sacrifices his

first-born son a great wrath is unleashed against the armies of Israel and Judah (2Kgs

3:27). The prophets Amos (Amos 2:1-2), Isaiah (Isa 15-16, Isa 25:10-12), Jeremiah

(Jer 48), and Ezekiel (Ezek 25:8-11) all prophesy the destruction of Moab.

Putting things into perspective Family relations aside, not all is going to be well as previously read concerning Moab

and Ammon in the prophets. Every declaration from YHWH Elohim, through his

servants, should be looked at collectively and not through the optics of current social

and political constructs as not everything is as it seems. People, lands, history,

culture, government etc. is only a part of the picture that’s crafted to seem

disconnected from the scriptures. Using the scriptures to shape perspective, the

scriptures should shape the prophetic view as in the opinion of Wayne Croley

discussing Moab, & Ammon and the end times:

The fate of Moab, Ammon, and Edom is an end time Bible prophecy topic that a

lot of people tend to overlook.

Moab, Ammon, and Edom, located in Jordan, will have an important role to play

in the future. In this article, I will give an overview of what will happen to Moab,

Ammon, and Edom during the end times…

The Bible indicates that Israel will destroy Edom, Moab, and Ammon in the future.

Numbers 24:17-19 is a Messianic prophecy that predicts that the Messiah (Christ)

will lead Israel’s effort to destroy Moab and take over Edom:

• (17) I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star

out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the

Putting things into perspective

• corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth. (18) And Edom shall be a

possession, Seir also shall be a possession for his enemies; and Israel shall do valiantly.

(19) Out of Jacob shall come he that shall have dominion, and shall destroy him that

remaineth of the city.” (Numbers 24:17-19)

Similarly, Zephaniah 2:8-9 promises that God will destroy Moab and Ammon and

that the remnant of Israel will take over their lands in the future:

• (8) I have heard the reproach of Moab, and the revilings of the children of Ammon,

whereby they have reproached my people, and magnified themselves against their border.

(9) Therefore as I live, saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Surely Moab shall be as

Sodom, and the children of Ammon as Gomorrah, even the breeding of nettles, and

saltpits, and a perpetual desolation: the residue of my people shall spoil them, and the

remnant of my people shall possess them.” (Zephaniah 2:8-9)

There’s no doubt that Edom, Moab, and Ammon will be dealt with harshly in the

future. However, a key question is “when will Israel deal with Edom, Moab, and

Ammon?”

The question as to when is anyone guess, but it can be assume that the events

outlined have not yet happened, and at the key moment of the Anointed One’s

return it would all unfold. The take away is to connect the clues of the scripture to

develop a new perspective into scriptural understanding.

Warning from the Anointed One & others


When the Anointed One spoke to his disciples, and those who came to seek his wisdom,

he spoke of consequences that awaits:

• (Mat 11:20-24 KJV) 20Then began he to upbraid the cities wherein most of his mighty works were done, because they repented not: 21Woe unto thee, Chorazin! woe unto thee, Bethsaida! for if the mighty works, which were done in you, had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. 22But I say unto you, It shall be more tolerable for Tyre and Sidon at the day of judgment, than for you. 23And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted unto heaven, shalt be brought down to hell: for if the mighty works, which have been done in thee, had been done in Sodom, it would have remained until this day. 24But I say unto you, That it shall be more tolerable for the land of Sodom in the day of judgment, than for thee.

• (Luk 17:28-30 KJV) 28Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded; 29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.

In addition, Peter and Jude in their epistle writes to their intended audience about the consequences to be faced by the wicked:

• (2Pe 2:4-6 KJV) 4For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment; 5And spared not the old world, but saved Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righteousness, bringing in the flood upon the world of the ungodly; 6And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;



In addition, Peter and Jude in their epistle writes to their intended audience about the consequences to be faced by the wicked:

• (Jud 1:7 KJV) 7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.

Fair warning to all who would take heed. Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a warning and example for future generations to come. Their destruction, is the visual example, that remains for us to reflect and repent. Just as in the days of Noah and Lot, the people did not take the warnings seriously. The same is to be said for our generation. YHWH Elohim forewarned his people, no one is without excuses. Though YHWH Elohim is , ‘Loving’, ‘Slow to Anger’ and ‘Gracious’, he is not going to accept foolish ignorance as an excuse for those who choose to ignore his commandments.
