Read Obadiah 1; Ps. 82-83
Obadiah prophesies against the people of Edom. They were the descendants of Esau who would not allow the Israelites to pass through their land when they came out of Egypt. They dwelt in the land between the Dead Sea and the Red Sea. These are types of the unsaved. Those that have rejected every call of God to repentance and chosen to live as an enemy of God.
Their wisdom and understanding will be destroyed and they will be judged for their hatred and cruelty done to the Jew. God’s people will destroy the house of Esau and possess their land. The kingdom of the earth shall be the Lord’s.
God will defend the poor and the fatherless and do justice to the afflicted and the needy. He will deliver the poor and needy and deliver them from the hand of the wicked. One day all will know that the name Jehovah is the most high over all the earth!
Lord, we wait patiently for Your salvation!
