A Prophecy of Esau and Jacob

Spain’s historical connection to Italy and the Roman Empire is deeply rooted in its shared past under Roman rule and cultural exchanges over centuries. Here’s an overview:

1. Roman Empire Integration:
   • Spain, known as Hispania during the Roman period, became a vital part of the Roman Empire after its conquest in the 2nd century BCE.
   • Roman infrastructure, language (Latin), law, and culture heavily influenced Spain. Many Spanish cities, such as Tarragona (Tarraco) and Mérida (Emerita Augusta), were established or expanded under Roman rule.
   • Similarly, Italy served as the heart of the Roman Empire, with Rome as its capital, making the two regions integral to Roman administration and economy.
2. Shared Latin Heritage:
   • The influence of Latin shaped the Spanish language, culture, and legal systems. Both Spanish and Italian derive from Latin, making them Romance languages with significant similarities.
3. Post-Roman Connections:
   • After the fall of the Roman Empire, connections between Spain and Italy continued, especially through the Catholic Church, which maintained authority over both regions. Rome remained a spiritual center for Spain.
   • During the Renaissance, cultural and intellectual exchanges between Spain and Italy flourished.
4. Habsburg and Bourbon Dynasties:
   • Spain and Italy shared political ties under the Habsburg dynasty (16th–17th centuries), with Spanish kings ruling parts of Italy, such as Naples, Sicily, and Milan.
   • Later, under the Bourbon dynasty, familial connections persisted, particularly through shared monarchic influences.
5. Modern Era:
   • While Spain and Italy are now independent nations, they remain linked through shared Mediterranean culture, religion (predominantly Roman Catholicism), and historical legacies from their Roman past.

This intertwined history highlights the lasting influence of the Roman Empire on the development of both nations.

The term Sepharad (Ispamiah; under the Roman Republic, Hispania was divided into two provinces: Hispania Citerior and Hispania Ulterior) was later applied to the Iberian Peninsula, consisting of both modern-day Spain and Portugal and their posterity; together they migrated to the New World upon its discovery, hence these include today the Latin Americans, Latinos.

“And Esau harbored hatred in his heart against Jacob, his brother, because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him.

“And Esau said in his heart, ‘I will not do as Cain did, who killed Abel during their father’s lifetime and then their father had another son, Seth.

“Rather, I will wait until the days of mourning for my father have passed, and then I will kill Jacob my brother, and I will be the sole heir.’” Genesis 27:42 Jonathan
