I think you are deceived. The sons of Esau still live in southern Jordan and Saudi Arabia. The lead a religion called Islam, with their Ishmaelite brothers. Read Obadiah and Ezekiel 25/35
'Nations/kingdoms': Abraham-Isaac-Jacob, Jewish; Abraham-Isaac-Esau, Christian; Abraham-Ishmael, Muslim
Gen 17-19: And God said, "Indeed, your wife Sarah will bear you a son, and you shall name him Isaac, and I will establish My covenant with him as an everlasting covenant for his seed after him.
Gen 17-20: And regarding Ishmael, I have heard you; behold I have blessed him, and I will make him fruitful, and I will multiply him exceedingly; he will beget twelve princes, and I will make him into a great nation.
Gen 17-21: But My covenant I will establish with Isaac, whom Sarah will bear to you at this time next year."
Gen 25-21: And Isaac prayed to the Lord opposite his wife because she was barren, and the Lord accepted his prayer, and Rebecca his wife conceived.
Gen 25-22: And the children struggled within her, and she said, "If [it be] so, why am I [like] this?" And she went to inquire of the Lord.
Gen 25-23: And the Lord said to her, "Two nations are in your womb, and two kingdoms will separate from your innards, and one kingdom will become mightier than the other kingdom, and the elder will serve the younger.
Gen 25-24: And her days to give birth were completed, and behold, there were twins in her womb.
Gen 25-25: And the first one emerged ruddy; he was completely like a coat of hair, and they named him Esau.
Gen 25-26: And afterwards, his brother emerged, and his hand was grasping Esau's heel, and he named him Jacob. Now Isaac was sixty years old when she gave birth to them.
Is Abraham-Isaac-Jacob not the Jewish nation? Really?
Is Abraham-Ishmael not the Muslim nation (something Muslims & Jews agree on!)?
Do the (twin) nations of Jacob & Esau not share (twin) texts - Torah, Nevi'im, Ketuvim?
Please answer whom you think are the great nations/kingdoms of Genesis:
What is the (twin) nation/kingdom of Abraham-Isaac-Jacob (Gen 25-23)?
What is the (twin) nation/kingdom of Abraham-Isaac-Esau (Gen 25-23)?
What is the great nation/kingdom of Abraham-Ishmael (Gen 17-20)?
Have a look at another of Esau's wives - Oholibamah - Does that name look familiar? "Coincidence?"
Gen 36: 1-3
1. And these are the generations of Esau, that is, Edom.
2. Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah, daughter of Elon the Hittite; and Oholibamah, daughter of Anah, daughter of Zibeon the Hivvite;
3. also Basemath, daughter of Ishmael, sister of Nebaioth.
Merkel footnote "coincidence":
Merkel was born on or at the 17th of Tammuz!
The fast of the 17th of the Hebrew month of Tammuz is the start of a three-week mourning period for the destruction of Jerusalem and the two Holy Temples.The fast actually commemorates five tragic events that occurred on this date:
1. Moses broke the tablets when he saw the Jewish people worshipping the Golden Calf.
2. During the Babylonian siege of Jerusalem, the Jews were forced to cease offering the daily sacrifices due to the lack of sheep.
3. Apostomos burned the holy Torah.
4. An idol was placed in the Holy Temple.
5. The walls of Jerusalem were breached by the Romans, in 69 CE, after a lengthy siege. (Three weeks later, after the Jews put up a valiant struggle, the Romans destroyed the second Holy Temple on the 9th of Av.)The Jerusalem Talmud maintains that this is also the date when the Babylonians breached the walls of Jerusalem on their way to destroying the first Temple.
