What will happen to Hollywood after the Rapture?
7 Concerning Edom, thus saith the Lord of hosts; Is wisdom no more in Teman? is counsel perished from the prudent? is their wisdom vanished?
Edom is the twin brother of Jacob. They were not identical twins, they were fraternal twins. Both were story tellers, men of the book. Edom was a "man's man". Think John Wayne, or Clint Eastwood. He was Robert Redford, or Rambo, or even Tom Cruise. For many years Hollywood displayed a certain wisdom. Many of the movies were painstakingly done, revealing the wisdom of many people. Even the movies that were over the top like a Tom Cruise movie revealed the capability of technology and military special ops. Even movies that seemed absurd, the science fiction movies, often revealed what was coming. But today it is as though all the movies are now simply formulaic rehash of what they have already done.
8 Flee ye, turn back, dwell deep, O inhabitants of Dedan; for I will bring the calamity of Esau upon him, the time that I will visit him.
What is the "calamity of Esau"? If I asked "what is the Calamity of Hollywood" then everyone would chime in. Well it is the Purge, it is Hunger Games, it is a zombie apocalypse. It is all the apocalyptic movies describing war in the US, it is Red Dawn.
9 If grapegatherers come to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes? if thieves by night, they will destroy till they have enough. 10 But I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, and he shall not be able to hide himself: his seed is spoiled, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
Hollywood is spoiled. The current trial with Diddy is revealing that. We are learning about all the secret places, they can't hide, and we are seeing how corrupt they are. Not just the actors, but everyone involved in that industry.
11 Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive; and let thy widows trust in me.
Hollywood portrayed itself as a "man's man" but here we see all the men are dead. We see fatherless children and widows. They are the only ones who will be preserved. We will remember the early era of Hollywood, but what we have now, that will all perish.
12 For thus saith the Lord; Behold, they whose judgment was not to drink of the cup have assuredly drunken; and art thou he that shall altogether go unpunished? thou shalt not go unpunished, but thou shalt surely drink of it.
Think of Harvey Weinstein. All the rape and sodomy and debauchery is coming out and it will all be punished. With what measure you have measured it will be measured to you.
13 For I have sworn by myself, saith the Lord, that Bozrah shall become a desolation, a reproach, a waste, and a curse; and all the cities thereof shall be perpetual wastes.
Bozrah was the chief city in Edom, it would be analogous to Hollywood. The name means "sheepfold" or "fortress". Those are the two key themes in Hollywood. You have all the children's movies like Disney, and you have all the action, adventure movies like the Westerns.
14 I have heard a rumour from the Lord, and an ambassador is sent unto the heathen, saying, Gather ye together, and come against her, and rise up to the battle.
Take a look, Harvey Weinstein trial, P. Diddy Trial, Epstein Island, all these things are causing the Heathen to despise the Hollywood elites.
15 For, lo, I will make thee small among the heathen, and despised among men.
The most despised person in a prison is someone who abused children.
16 Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, and the pride of thine heart, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, that holdest the height of the hill: though thou shouldest make thy nest as high as the eagle, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the Lord.
All the Hollywood elites dwell in the clefts of the rock, they hold the height of the hill. They are about to be brought down.
17 Also Edom shall be a desolation: every one that goeth by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss at all the plagues thereof.
The movie industry is about to become an astonishment to all.
18 As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and the neighbour cities thereof, saith the Lord, no man shall abide there, neither shall a son of man dwell in it.
