Esau or the Palistians helped the Babylonians and will all die for it.

Obadiah 1:9-11

9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter.

10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

  Well, ACTUALLY, the Palestinians are the descendants of the old Philistines, Israel & Judah's ancient enemy. "Palestinian" is Latin for "Philistine".

 

   I don't know if any descendants of the Edomites are left in Jordan today or not. Jordan was one of the first Arab states to make peace with Israel, and there hasn't been any problem with Israel since the 1967 war, when Israel took back the West Bank from Jordan, which renounced all claims for it in 1988. There's no sign of trouble developing between Jordan & Israel, so the Edomites may already be extinct. (As well as the Moabites & Ammonites)

Actually, while some claim heritage from the Philistines there is no proof of such. The Palestinians are of mixed Arab heritage.

The name Palestinian was a Roman invention to try to suggest the land was linked to the Philistines, and thereby break the Hebrew link to the land.

It didn't work, but they are still trying it.

As for the Nation of Jordan, it has the mountains of Edom, and the city of Amman which gets its name from the Ammonites, and the signs of the Kingdom of Jordan have written on them "the Hashemite kingdom".

That is today.... make of that what you will.

  The House of Esau was the nation of Edom, which was in what's now the nation of Jordan. But I don't believe the antichrist will be involved in the Gog-Magog war; it'll catch him by surprise & will be over before he can act.

The Idumeans in the first century were the Edomites. They were incorporated in the Jewish religion.  Herod was an Idumean, possibly part Jewiah,  I don't know. The Idumeans took part in the Jewish revolt against the Romans in AD 66-70.

I think it was Mark Twain who wrote when  he visited the land, that it was barren and devoid of inhabitants.  William Whiston  who translated Josephus in the 1700's wrote that the land was practically empty, awaiting the return of its people..

I couldn't make anything of it as I had always wondered why it was Hashemite, so I searched and found this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hashemites

It seems Saudi was Hashemite till the Saud family overthrew them.

  "Palestinians" was what Hadrian called the Philistines when he gave them the Jews' land, and today's Pals are trying to use that as their claim to that land today, while the Jews use the promises of God that He had given them that land.  From these comes the conflict.

  Seems Jordan welcomes friendship with Israel for protection. While Jordan has a population of over 10 million, its military isn't nearly as strong as Israel's, and Jordan has many Shia Muslim enemies, with Jordan's being almost-entirely Sunni. Whether or not Jordan participates in the Gog-Magog war remains to be seen.

This is just wrong for the plain reason that in the time of Hadrian (2nd century) there were NO philistines. The nation had been long gone by this time. The Palestinians CLAIM heritage but there is no evidence as to which people today came from the philistines.

Hadrian named the place Palestina in order to break the Israeli link with the land, not to give it to anyone else.

DaveW is correct.

The word 'Palestina,' and its modern day equivalent, 'Palestine' and 'the Palestinians' are all political in an effort to force the Jews off their land.

Furthermore, if you read the modern Replacement Theology writers, and men like Philip Mauro and Steven Anderson, they also refer to the land of Israel as Palestine in an effort to say the land belongs to the 'Palestinians' and not to the Jews.

  Well, ACTUALLY, with all due respect, gentlemen, the Philistines became part of the Achaemenid (Old Persian)m empire & were still around while the Jews were still in exile in  Babylon. many of them were still skilled metal workers as they'd been while Israel and Judah were free. As they believed themselves of Mycenaean descent, they helped the Greex & Macedonians against the Persians, but later some of them began to identify themselves as Persians.

   And we see in Zech. 9:6 there were still Philistines, but their pride has been cut off as God said. The "bastard" in that verse means a mixed people or race, and that has come to pass, as Israel now rules Ashhdod, and it's inhabited by Jews, Palestinians, & Arabs.

 

  But God DID say in Amos 1:8 that the Philistines would be wiped out. So, WHO inhabited Judea after Hadrian expelled the Jews? The Palmyrene empire, a branch of Persians centered in Palmyra, took control of the area til they rebelled against Rome & the Romans re-conquered it in 273 AD. That's  likely where "Palestine" came from, as some of the old Philistines were among them.

 

   But I agree 100% that the modern Pals' claims are bogus, as GOD gave that land to Israel,  a fact that renders all man-made claims null & void. (As we know, that land, & Jerusalem, changed hands many times til WW1 ended & the British took over.)

So your "proof" that your original statement is correct is that Zechariah mentions Philistines 600 years before Hadrian was around??????

Historians largely agree that there is now no sign of the lineage of the Philistines. There are some theories, but there is no evidence, and Hadrian had nothing to do with the Philistines.

So you "ACTUALLY" is simply total and utter rubbish.

You were wrong about Hadrian with regard to the Philistines.

  Well, we don't know who the other Israelis are today, but GOD does. And hadrian wasn't stupid; he didn't just pick "Palestine" outta thin air. After all, "Palestine" is still Latin for "Philistia". Since we're not privy to what Hadrian was thinking, we can't just dismiss the idea.

  Much of my idea is based upon Zech. 9: And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth: but he that remaineth, even he, shall be for our God, and he shall be as a governor in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.

  Now, Ekron is but an archaeological dig today. But what happened to the Jebusites who were left after david captured Jerusalem from them? Evidently, at least some of them, such as Araunah, their king, & his family, began to worship God, & their posterity was absorbed into the Jews over time, so, according to that Scripture, some Philistines were also absorbed into the Jews,  but they were mostly enemies of the Jews, long as they were a distinct people. But according to Zechariah, a few of them remained, as we can see..

  Among the Pals the Jews have greatly honored is Kamil Hamad, who was instrumental in the cell phone bomb assassination of Pal bombmaker Yahya Ayyash in 1996. While his current ID & location are secret, part of Israel's "witness relocation" plan, he's certainly not living in poverty!

Trying to confuse the issue with all sorts of extraneous information and changing the subject, but your statement about Hadrian was absolutely wrong, no matter what twist you put on it.

Before 1948 the land was called Palestine.  The British mandate was over the land of Palestine, so Philip Mauro and others were correct in calling it that. I know that Philip was one of the early dispensationalists in New York, but later rejected it as "Dispensational Error."
