Obadiah

A prophecy against Edom for the injustices it has committed against Israel.

 


Obadiah prophesied against Edom

Obadiah warns about the coming destruction of Edom. The first half of the book denounces the way the people of Edom gloat over the ruin of Judah, apparently at the time that the Babylonians destroyed Jerusalem in 587 BC.  The Edomites engage in looting and hand over the fugitives. The second half of the book announces the coming day when God will judge Judah’s enemies and restore the kingdom.
