A word in Torah is essentially a formula, such that when Jacob
ate lentils, it was as brain food, but when Esau ate porridge, it caused
aggression, and desire. Chapter 1 of the
book of Daniel notes that a part of having good looks is the consumption of
legumes (such as lentils). Zerah is in
both Israel’s and Edom’s family. That
is, if you have Edom’s trait, and eat gluten, it greatly increases your evil
urge, such as desire, which leads to idolatry.
Gluten was probably the reason Edom came to be known as idolaters. All people that eat wheat aren’t affected in
the same way. To Edom, the hate of Gd,
and hate in all forms, can be as paradise.
That is, Jacob probably loved to be loved by God, and Esau probably
loved to be hated by God, and everyone is different. The Bible says that Jacob was loved by God,
but that Esau was hated by Gd, but one’s affinities for the way in which they
desire to relate to Gd is biochemical.
Ecclesiastes teaches to avoid extremes. Some people may not know about the affect of
gluten on Edom, and especially some Edomites may not know about the affect
gluten has on them, such that they want to seek the help of a doctor in order
to decrease their desire. It is my
thought that one of the reasons the Bible claims Edom will be destroyed is for
the consumption of gluten. However, I do
not believe Edom will likely ever be completely destroyed. The existence of Edomites is a way of life. If you notice the what Genesis says of many
of Edom’s sons, they are listed as having died.
However, not all of them are listed as having passed away. In fact, if what I suggest is true, the
verse, “And so all Israel shall be saved,” is an actual prohibition of the
utter annihilation of the Edomites, especially since some individuals are both
Israelite and Edomite.
