Ezekiel 35Ezekiel 35 Summary
The Brother Who Watched Us Bleed
When Jerusalem fell, the air was thick with smoke and the screams of the defeated. But louder than the Babylonian war cries was the cheering from the south. Edom, the descendants of Esau, didn't just watch their 'brother' Jacob perish; they manned the crossroads to catch fugitives and laughed while the Temple burned. This isn't just a prophecy of doom; it's God's formal response to an ancient family grudge that turned into war crimes.
