Esau-Edom Rome: The Hidden Identity of the Man of Sin

I purchased the book, expecting Dr Beneyah Yashar’el to be an expert on the subject. On page 9, she says that Solomon is black, based on Song of Solomon 1:5, “I (Solomon) am black but comely… But the scriptures clearly show that this is a female speaking. Verse 7: “…for why should I be like one who veils HERSELF beside the flocks of your companions?To be honest, if the author (real name Dr Bonnie V. Franks) can’t get this simple thing right, can I trust her integrity with the deeper issues? Personally, no, I can’t.So, I won’t read the rest of the book.

The overall message of this book is deceptive. The author probably means well and is obviously very passionate. She also has important elements that she brings forth. However, I would not recommend this book to any new believer. For example, she bashes Christianity, calling it the religion of the Edomites. What is her definition of Christianity? Is it Roman Catholicism? It would seem that's what she means but by not clarifying she lumps all who believe in the Son of God as Christians and she has nothing good to say about them. My advice: If you buy this book, read chapter 7 first. If you agree with the author's view about Christianity then you may continue with the rest of the book.The history of Esau is good especially where the author draws from the books of Jubilee ad Jasher but the author gets mixed up very quickly. The identification of the true Israelites is reasonable and I agree with it. But the book leads the reader to a path of disliking who the author identifies as modern-day Edomites. There are so many things that are wrong with the presentation. She probably means well but is altogether very confusing. I had so much hope when I purchased the book ONLY to get super disappointed. It is a mixture of truth, conjecture, and misrepresentation. I wish she could withdraw the book from the market to save her would-be readers. Sorry. I hate to discredit anyone's labour but I had to write this. The character of God is misrepresented in this work. He is the Holy One of Israel but he is the God of the gentiles too (Romans 3:29).

Okay

This book provides a very comprehensive answer to the question I had on 'Where is Edom Today'. I am greatly impressed with the deep research, as well as the use of scriptures to back up historical and modern day findings.A definite 'must read' for truth seekers.I did not want to put it down when I started to read, and I like the font and spaces between paragraphs, which make for easy reading on the eyes.I am anxious to read more books from this Author.

i never been a reader but once I read this book it changed how I feel about my life. The fact of knowing where you have come from and that you are God's chosen people. The author does a excellent job going through history and explaining who is who and backing theories with biblical text. I look forward to reading her other books.
