So it appears that the "ѕуηαgσgυє of Satan" referred to in Rev: 2:9 & 3:9 can be traced back directly to Esau. Ever since Esau sold his birthright to Jacob and then latter Isaac his father gave his blessing to his brother Jacob instead, Esau has been envious and will stop at nothing to get steal it back. I'd say that he has pretty much succeeded too through usury. Most Jєωs today (estimates range from 80%-95%) are αѕнкenαzι. It is primarily the αѕнкenαzι Jєωs who control banking and the media and really mostly everything. And people say the Bible is just a fairy tale.
It must be noted that Khazars through "Leo" intermarried with the Venetian and Genoese banking families and are known today as the Black Nobility. The Queen of England is actually German from the House of Guelph who are members of the Black Nobility. Some say that Queen Elizabeth II is the wealthiest and most powerful person on the planet calling all the shots. I tend to doubt this. I believe she is just a mere figurehead in charge of squat. When you read stories about how she is having to beg the British government for funds in order to heat all her palaces and that she has had to lay off several workers because she can't afford the upkeep, I think she is just a little old lady who drinks tea for a living. The real PTB are the Rothschilds. You should read the elaborate ritual she has to go through just to get permission to enter the "City of London."
These are just excerpts from the following articles.
http://stevenmcollins.com/html/khazars.htmlThe Khazars also included Turks (descended from Esau, also called Edom). The Edomites were fellow-Semites as their forefather, Esau, was a son of Isaac.
http://www.realtruth.org/articles/132-arotaw.htmlIsaac had two sons: Jacob and Esau. Isaac’s God-given birthright was passed on to Jacob. However, Esau, like his uncle Ishmael, was also blessed with wealth and offspring. He moved away from Canaan to a region called Mount Seir, just south of Moab (southeast of the Dead Sea). Esau married Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael (Gen. 28:9). He also had a number of wives from various other nations. Many rulers, nobles and kings came from Esau (Gen. 36). His offspring continued to marry into the families of Ishmael, as well as other peoples.
Ishmael and his descendants settled primarily in the southern portions of the Arabian Peninsula. Notice that Ishmael was “to dwell in the presence of all his brethren” (Gen. 16:12). True to this description, his descendants have always tended to associate in their original territory. On the other hand, some of the leading tribes of Esau tended to intersperse with other people and expand their sphere of control. Since they were close blood relatives, Ishmael was receptive to Esau. Both felt they had been denied the birthright, which reinforced their resentment toward Israel. Ishmael’s wild nature and Esau’s violent ambitions have been passed on to their descendants.
Ancient Background of Esau
The original homeland of the tribe of Esau was in the Mount Seir region, southeast of the Dead Sea. The term Mount Seir was used to describe Esau’s descendants who lived there. The term Edom is also used to describe the descendants of Esau in any geographical location. Edom, meaning “red,” is interchangeable with Esau or any of the House of Esau. Another term to describe Esau or Edom is Idumea. Sometimes the name of the leading tribe of Esau, “Teman,” is used to address all of Esau, just as Ephraim is sometimes used in prophecy to describe the House of Israel.
The following verses tell of Esau’s migration from Canaan: “And Esau took his wives, and his sons, and his daughters, and all the persons of his house, and his cattle, and all his beasts, and all his substance, which he had got in the land of Canaan; and went into the country from the face of his brother Jacob. For their riches were more than that they might dwell together; and the land wherein they were strangers could not bear them because of their cattle. Thus dwelt Esau in mount Seir: Esau is Edom” (Gen. 36:6-8).
Esau took three wives: “Now these are the generations of Esau, who is Edom. Esau took his wives of the daughters of Canaan; Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite, and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite; and Bashemath [the same person as Mahalath of Gen. 28:9] Ishmael’s daughter, sister of Nebajoth. And Adah bare to Esau Eliphaz; and Bashemath bare Reuel; And Aholibamah bare Jeush, and Jaalam, and Korah: these are the sons of Esau, which were born unto him in the land of Canaan” (Gen. 36:1-5).
Esau had five sons. Eliphaz, the firstborn, also had five sons, each constituting a major tribe of the House of Esau. By his concubine, Eliphaz had another son, named Amalek. Together with the sons of Esau’s other sons, there were 14 dukes or sovereign princes. Each of these became tribes that grew into nations—some of which mixed with other peoples, others remaining as cohesive nations.
The most notable of the lineages was the Esau-Eliphaz-Teman line, from which sprang the Ottoman Turks.
Some Bible students assume that these tribes somehow remained in Mount Seir for over two millennia, until they migrated north to conquer Asia Minor—known today as Turkey. But elements of these tribes had already migrated hundreds of miles to the east by the time Israel came out of Egypt. Some of Teman’s descendants were royalty in Persia by that time. Elements of Teman and other tribes had already established themselves in strategic locations (such as southern Mesopotamia). Although some remained in their original homeland, the majority eventually dispersed.
Even before Israel went into Egypt, we find evidence that the House of Esau dispersed to other lands. The biblical account of Job records an interesting side note of history. One of Job’s friends is mentioned in Job 2:1—Eliphaz the Temanite, the father of the Temanites and the son of Esau. Eliphaz was a leading figure among Esau’s descendants (Ancient History—The First 2500 Years). These family lines had become closely associated with various kingly lines and leaders of their day. Notice that Eliphaz was a close friend to Job, who was a prominent noble and leader in Egypt.
Expansion of the Turks
The name Turk is derived from Turkestan, where the Turks had settled. Many Caucasian Osmanli Turks of modern Turkey had settled in western Turkestan before the eleventh century. The ruling family of the Osmanli Turks was the Ottomans, a leading tribe descended from Teman (Gen. 36:11, 15).
No known bloodline exists between the Mongoloid Turks of Turkestan and the descendants of Esau who intermixed with the Oriental lineages of Japheth. However, there is a definite tie between the Osmanli Turks and Esau. A connection to the Esau bloodline with the warlike Tartars probably existed in some major branches or tribes, but to a lesser extent with the Mongols. In the Middle Ages, while the Ottoman Turks threatened European civilization in the West, the Tartars and related tribes were an ongoing threat to the civilizations bordering the steppes of Central Asia.
The Seljuk Turks had conquered most of Asia Minor by about 1070 A.D. The Caucasian Osmanli Turks gained control of the Turkish movement in the 1200s, actually gaining control of the Holy Land from that time until they surrendered it to the British in 1917—about 700 years! Before the Ottomans gained control, the Seljuk Turk advance had been in progress for nearly three centuries. After conquering Asia Minor, the Ottomans moved into southeastern Europe, and, by the early 1400s, conquered a number of countries in that region. Their relentless drive continued for centuries, only to be stopped by Charles V, who was backed by the united factions of Germans at Vienna (Austria), about 1532.
Even though the descendants of Esau were denied the birthright from Isaac, they always maintained a great desire to control the Holy Land—and much more! They continued to vie for control of all Europe until their failed attempt to take Vienna in 1683. After the 1700s, their struggles in Europe were defensive, as the Europeans gradually reclaimed much of their land.
Due to the standards required of today’s civilized nations, modern Turks have appeared to modify their animosity against the Jєωs and modern Israel. But the true feelings of Turkey were reflected in the parliamentary decisions not to cooperate with the coalition forces in the recent war against Iraq. The record of history still stands as testimony to the warring expansionism of the House of Esau.
Catalysts for Expansion
Much of Esau’s expansion coincided with the expansion of Islam. The most vigorous Islamic missionaries to spread their religion through violence were those of the lineage of Esau—chief of whom were the Turks. They appeared to possess an inherent desire to conquer and expand their sphere of control. Prior to Islam, no other force united the many Arab factions. Certain smaller kingdoms had existed within Arabia, but with minimal impact on the region. (The origin, growth and impact of Islam are covered in detail in “Modern Iraq: A House Divided,” in this issue.)
Not until the rise of Islam did the Turks begin expanding through conquest of any and all nations in their path. Previously, the thirst for expansion by these tribes—the majority of Esau—was mainly in Turkestan. That vast area, between the Caspian Sea and the borders of China, is now occupied by a number of nations, including much of Iran and Afghanistan. Yet a few of the tribes of Esau remained in northern Arabia.
At the height of Turkish control, the Ottoman Empire extended from Baghdad in the east to Morocco in the west, and from the Russian steppes in the north to the Persian Gulf in the South. They later acquired Spain, thus controlling the Gibraltar Strait. Islam spread well beyond these boundaries.
