Prophets

Nations were created to influence history towards a world perfected under Hashem's sovereignty. While some had brief roles, Esau—identified with Edom—has a long, complex mission.

The 'Chafetz Chaim' in his well-known letter from 104 years ago: "It is clear to me that if we had prophets, they would certainly stand vigilant to urge Israel to repent to our Father in heaven. And since due to our many sins we do not have prophets and messengers today, He urges the world through other emissaries."
