[Cronos]

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

Where does any scriptural writing talk about Edom appropriating the Holy Land and sacred sites of the Jews?

Isaiah 34 is about Edom's judgement in 700 BC -- remember the by 100 AD, Edom was assimilated into Judah and Idumeans into Jewry

Ezekiel 35 and 36 do...so also does Obadiah
