Ammon & Moab were the result of an incestuous union between a
father & his 2 daughters. (Gen. 19)
Edom (Esau) was a son of Isaac (Gen. 25)

A Moabite woman, was the great
grandmother of King David & an
ancestor of Jesus!
All the people who were in the court, and the
elders, said, “We are witnesses. May the
LORD make the woman who is coming into
your home like Rachel and Leah, both of whom
built the house of Israel; and may you
achieve wealth in Ephrathah and become
famous in Bethlehem.”
Ruth 4:11

The Old Testament book of Daniel
declares that Moab, Ammon, & Edom will escape the hands of the future Antichrist!

these will be rescued out of his hand: Edom, Moab and the foremost of the
sons of Ammon.-Daniel 11:41
