One Single Story Bible Themes Part 3Намуна

The book of Obadiah is a prophetic message of God's righteous judgment against the nation of Edom. Edom had opposed and attacked their own family of Jacob, and refused to help them in their time of need. The book reveals how the Edomites would suffer for their actions, and how the Lord would restore His people. While it speaks to a specific incident, the overarching message of the book is that God always judges people and nations equitably, rewarding those who are righteous and punishing those who are wicked.
