That nation would intermingle with her neighbors, the Ammonites, Moabites, and Ishmaelites as well as a host other Arab tribes. They would worship a variety of false “gods” until they would eventually be united in an Arab based form of paganism, called Islam. Thus the nation of Edom would become the Islamic “Ummah” which would spread across the globe incorporating many other nations. Islam would encode within its tenets the grievances of Ishmael, Esau and Hagar.This is a false statement of yours

read the book of Maccabees.
The Jewish King (a Maccabean dynast) John Hyrcanus (c. 125 BC) Conquered and forcibly converted the Edomites to Judaism c. 100 BC and incorporated them into the Jewish nation.
Antipater the Idumaean, the progenitor of the Herodian Dynasty along with Judean progenitors, that ruled Judea after the Roman conquest, was of mixed Edomite/Judean origin.
According to Josephus, during the siege of Jerusalem in 70 CE by Titus, 20,000 Idumaeans, under the leadership of John, Simeon, Phinehas, and Jacob, helped the Zealots fight for independence from Rome, who were besieged in the Temple. The Edomites were destroyed fighting for the Jewish nation in 70 AD
Thanks Cronos. It may be an oversimplification , and I may have worded it badly but my statement isn’t false. I will be answering more fully in an upcoming article called “ no one wants to be Edom” , which seeks to identify ‘who is the Edom of last days prophecy?”. I should have said something like “ over the centuries unto this day...,” . What you said about the development and fall of the kingdom of Edom is all true, ( I made some of those posts in an earlier article). However, scripture speaks of an Edom which will be punished in the last days for violence and hatred of Israel and appropriating the Holy Land and sacred sites of the Jews...thanks for your input
