Obadiah

Portrait of Obadiah

Obadiah delivered the shortest prophetic book in Scripture, a stern warning to Edom concerning its pride and cruel actions against its brother Israel in times of distress. Through imagery of Edom's lofty heights brought low, the prophecy reveals the Lord's commitment to justice and the vindication of His people. Within the redemptive story, this word reminds that no nation escapes divine accountability and that the kingdom shall belong to the Lord.

The Pride of Edom

Obadiah 1:3-4

T3he pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

4 Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the LORD.

The Kingdom Shall Be the Lord's

Obadiah 1:21
