Obadiah (Full Book)
ObadiahSteve Gregg
In this brief overview, Steve Gregg explores the book of Obadiah which focuses on the conflict between Israel and Edom, their neighbor to the east. Despite being initially subdued by Israel, the Edomites later looted Jerusalem and showed no pity towards the Jews during their time of calamity. Obadiah prophesied that the Edomites would face divine judgement and their hidden treasures would be sought after by other nations. Additionally, like other prophets, Obadiah also had something to say about the Messianic kingdom and its subjects.
