Where was Edom located?
Edom was located down to the southeast of the Dead Sea. The transcript also notes it in connection with Moab, indicating the broader region near the Dead Sea. This setting fits Isaiah 63, where Edom is mentioned in the prophetic judgment imagery.
Les explains that he had earlier mentioned Moab, but then corrects himself by saying Edom should be included as well, located down to the southeast of the Dead Sea. He then moves to Isaiah 63, beginning with verse 1, which asks, "who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah?" Les identifies this figure as Christ, returning to bring judgment upon the gathered armies, and connects the imagery to one treading the wine vat. The geographic reference to Edom, southeast of the Dead Sea, thus serves as the backdrop for this prophetic picture of judgment.
