Do You Have the Heart of an Edomite?

For my sword has drunk its fill in the heavens; behold, it descends for judgment upon Edom, upon the people I have devoted to destruction.  - Isaiah 34:5

9 And the streams of Edom shall be turned into pitch, and her soil into sulfur; her land shall become burning pitch. 

10 Night and day it shall not be quenched; its smoke shall go up forever. From generation to generation it shall lie waste; none shall pass through it forever and ever.  - Isaiah 34:9-10

What is the spirit of the Edomite and what is its origin?”)

It originates from Esau and his spirit of rebellion towards God and the hatred of his brother Jacob.

I know we are all born into sin (rebellion) because one man (Adam) sinned and through him sin came to all mankind.

But, there is this thing called repentance! That is to say, you turn from sin and rebellion and toward God through Christ for a new life. 

But, even before repentance, there is mercy!

Mercy and forgiveness is offered through Christ by God.

However, there are some who deny God's power and the power of the blood of Christ and stay in their rebellion.

They are devoted to destruction and will spend eternity in Hell.

The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance. - 2 Peter 3:9

Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever.  - Obadiah 1:10

The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the LORD has spoken.  - Obadiah 1:18

11 though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad-in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of him who calls-

12 she was told, "The older will serve the younger."

13 As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated."

14 What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means!

15 For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion."

16 So then it depends not on human will or exertion, but on God, who has mercy.

17 For the Scripture says to Pharaoh, "For this very purpose I have raised you up, that I might show my power in you, and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth."

18 So then he has mercy on whomever he wills, and he hardens whomever he wills.

19 You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?"

20 But who are you, O man, to answer back to God? Will what is molded say to its molder, "Why have you made me like this?"

21 Has the potter no right over the clay, to make out of the same lump one vessel for honorable use and another for dishonorable use?

22 What if God, desiring to show his wrath and to make known his power, has endured with much patience vessels of wrath prepared for destruction,

23 in order to make known the riches of his glory for vessels of mercy, which he has prepared beforehand for glory-

24 even us whom he has called, not from the Jews only but also from the Gentiles? - Romans 9:11-24
