Dovid Abenson: Donald Trump is the Moshiach* for Edom, but not the Moshiach for the Jewish people.
Mendel Kessin: Trump is the messiah of Edom.
David J. Fine: Like Herod, the president can build great things. But he can also destroy so much.
Naomi Graetz: If the Israelites decide to appoint a king, they may do so—but his authority is carefully restricted. He must not accumulate horses, wives, or excessive wealth, and he must keep a copy of the Torah beside him and read it throughout his life.

Political corruption trickles downward.

David Steinberg: The subsequent mass exile of Judeans to Babylon left southern Judah depopulated just when large numbers of Arabs were infiltrating into Edom displacing the native Edomites who moved into what had been southern Judah.
