 Biblical Evidence: The Joseph Aspect

EDOM 

The Lost Ten Tribes headed by Joseph are destined to defeat Edom. Edom means the sons of Esau who dominate Germany and other portions of Europe and possibly Japan as well. To identify The Lost Ten Tribes headed by Joseph we must therefore seek a nation or group of nations that has proven itself capable of the said feat in the past. The nations of Britain and North America and their kin folk have done this. This quality (like all other identifying characteristics) has to be considered along with all other identifying characteristics that taken as a whole can only indicate one specific group of peoples.

AND THEY SHALL DO IN EDOM ACCORDING TO MINE ANGER: Tradition says that the seed of Joseph will destroy Edom. The book of Obadiah is dedicated to this theme.

Obadiah says that the House of Joseph shall destroy the House of Esau. Rabbinical sources identified Esau with Rome and with Germany and sometimes with Europe in general. The Talmud says that only Joseph is capable of defeating Esau. The sources do not say that all the Germans are from Esau but part of them, especially amongst elite leading elements. The same sources also say that the Germans are descended from Canaanites, from Gomer, from Togarmah, from Ashkenaz, and so on. They are therefore a mixed people like most other peoples. There was however a tradition that the ruling elements of Rome and Germany were descended from Esau. Many Germans considered themselves the descendants of Roman soldiers and identified with the Roman Empire. We must look for a nation that has proven itself capable of defeating Germany and this is what Britain and the USA did do in the Second World War.

The Commentary, "Ahavat Yehonatan", "VaYishlach":

You may ask, since the House of Jacob is fire they should be able to overcome Esau alone. Why then should they need Joseph? The answer is that the power of Jacob to fight against Esau is applicable only if Esau comes within the boundaries of Israel. In order to offensively penetrate the borders of Esau we need Joseph since the seed of Esau falls only before the children of Rachel. The intention here is to Joseph who was born outside of the Land of Israel...

  Notes from the Commentary "Daat Sofrim":

Edom is not a nation of one pure constitution.  It is composed of the descendants of Esau and of the Horites who intermingled together. As a result of this foreign qualities were added to those that naturally belonged to Esau.

The prophecy is apparently directed not only to the period when this people [Esau] dwelt in its land but also to the days when it would be assimilated amongst the peoples of the world and fulfill its great role beginning with Rome.

AND THE HOUSE OF ESAU FOR STUBBLE: Daat Sofrim emphasizes (1) All prophesies of disaster and punishment are contingent on the culprit not reforming himself BUT if he changes his ways disaster can be averted. (2) It says that The House of Edom will be made an end of, i.e. it will no longer exist as an independent recognizable unit but many individuals from Edom will survive amongst other nations.

For more on this matter see the Brit-Am Commentary to the Book of Obadiah and our publication, Joseph.

These sources show that Esau dominates Germany and realted nations and that only "Joseph" can defeat them. We therefore, in order to identify "Joseph", should search for a nation or group of nations that have proven such an ability within historical times.
