1. God hatred of Esau, as expressed in the Scriptures, is a symbolic representation of those who willing reject the revelation of Jesus Christ.
Prove it is symbolic.
Here is a clue that it is not:
Rom_9:8 This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are counted as offspring.
Gal_4:28 Now you, brothers, like Isaac, are children of promise.
If your argument is that children of the promise and children of the flesh are only symbolic you must provide scripture.
Here is the promise:
Gen 21:8 And the child grew and was weaned. And Abraham made a great feast on the day that Isaac was weaned.
Gen 21:9 But Sarah saw the son of Hagar the Egyptian, whom she had borne to Abraham, laughing.
Gen 21:10 So she said to Abraham, “Cast out this slave woman with her son, for the son of this slave woman shall not be heir with my son Isaac.”
Gen 21:11 And the thing was very displeasing to Abraham on account of his son.
Gen 21:12 But God said to Abraham, “Be not displeased because of the boy and because of your slave woman. Whatever Sarah says to you, do as she tells you, for through Isaac shall your offspring be named.
Gen 21:13 And I will make a nation of the son of the slave woman also, because he is your offspring.”
God made a promise to Abraham before Ishmael was born. The nation God chose would come through the children of the promise (Isaac)
In unbelief, 14 years prior to the birth of Isaac, and in the flesh, Sarah decided to give her slave to Abraham and she bore Ishmael, the child of the flesh.
As for Esau:
Gen 28:8 So when Esau saw that the
Canaanite women did not please Isaac his father,
Gen 28:9 Esau went to Ishmael and took as his wife, besides the wives he had, Mahalath the daughter of
Ishmael, Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth.
Gen_36:12 (Timna was a concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son; she bore Amalek to Eliphaz.) These are the sons of Adah, Esau's wife.
Gen_36:16 Korah, Gatam, and
Amalek; these are the chiefs of Eliphaz in the land of Edom; these are the sons of Adah.
Exo_17:11 Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed.
Exo_17:13 And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.
Exo_17:14 Then the LORD said to Moses, “Write this as a memorial in a book and recite it in the ears of Joshua, that I will utterly blot out the memory of Amalek from under heaven.”
Exo_17:16 saying, “A hand upon the throne of the LORD! The LORD will have war with Amalek from generation to generation.”
There is no symbolism that a child of the flesh is symbolic of those who choose not to believe, or any symbolism that a child of the promise is someone who chooses to believe.
It is about the mercy of God and His choice.
