3588—"Shalt Shake His Yoke from off Thy Neck"

By Editor

Please explain Gen. 27:40. Did Esau, through his descendants, obtain the dominion with the sword during the four universal empires, or kingdoms, especially the last? Was it then that the yoke was broken? O. B. S.
No, the Romans were not the descendants of Esau. For the fulfilment of breaking the yoke of Judah from off his neck, see 2 Kings 8:20-22: "In his [Jehoram's] days Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah, and made a king over themselves. . . . Yet Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah unto this day." The dominion was broken when Israel departed from God.
