The Book of Obadiah

Obadiah Ch. 1

This week we are looking at smallest book in the Old Testament, Obadiah, and God’s word as it was given to him in a vision. Obadiah’s task is to proclaim Edom’s downfall.
While it sure sound like Obadiah is just finger-pointing, God has him point out historical and current sins and God’s coming doom, and yet, God still blesses. The LORD will not forsake those upon whom He has placed His favour. The LORD will continue to promote and proclaim His Gospel until History is folded up and put on the shelf.
When one reads Obadiah, there is an echoing in the background. The words and activity of Christ crucified, “It is finished!” echo the Lord’s grace and mercy throughout this book.
