Obadiah 1-21
Despite the fact that Esau was the firstborn, God chose Jacob
over Esau even before their births - and Jacob manipulated
himself into both birthright and blessing! These seeds of bitter-
ness were never totally resolved between their descendants.
The prophet Obadiah predicted the kingdom of Edom (Esau's
descendants) would come to an inglorious end.
1. We Must Obey God's Revealed Will or Face Consequences
(Obadiah 1-9)
God will ultimately do what He has set out to do. Our pride
and objections, our plans and protections cannot stand
against His will.
2. God's Will is for Us to Help Those in Need However We Can
(Obadiah 10-14)
When the kingdom of Judah was being attacked by her
enemies, the descendants of Esau refused to help them.
In fact, the Edomites celebrated its destruction and may
have actively participated!
3. One Day God Will Bring Justice Over All the Earth as
He Rules as King
(Obadiah 15-21)
The concept of the Day of the Lord refers to the end-times
of world history, including Armageddon and the Second
Coming of Christ.
