2nd Zerah Edomites and Gluten


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.
