People from southern Judah will capture Edom; those from the western foothills will occupy Philistia; Israelites will take back the territory of Ephraim and Samaria; and the people of Benjamin will possess Gilead. The company of exiles from among the people of Israel will possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath while the exiles from Jerusalem now in Sardis will occupy the cities of southern Judah. Victorious deliverers will go out from Mount Zion to rule over the land of Edom, and the kingdom will be YAHWEH’s.

This devotion taken from Book of Obadiah will equip you with biblical truths and guide you to practice it daily as you continue your walk of faith in Christ.
Prophet Obadiah castigated the nation of Edom, Esau’s descendants, as they took advantage of the Israelites, their close relatives when Babylon invaded Jerusalem. Instead of lending a helping hand, the Edomites gloated over, plundered, and even killed the Israelite refugees. This shortest book in the Old Testament ends with the victorious promise that God’s people will be restored and His eternal Kingdom will last forever.
Obadiah presents prophetic truth regarding the destruction of Edom, a prideful nation descended from Esau. Edom’s pride and animosity towards Israel ultimately resulted in a violent war. Obadiah ends his book declaring, “the kingdom shall be the LORD’s,” pointing toward God’s plan to defeat all His enemies and establish His rule and reign forever.
