ABIDIYU 1:15

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.
