The Gospel in Obadiah: Hope for believers in God’s wisdom and power
Join us now in surveying the ancient land of this prophet. A land full of powerful emotions: arrogance, betrayal, murder, revenge. All these elements make up intriguing fiction, but these are also the words used by the prophet Obadiah. His small Old Testament book contains a dreadful prophecy against Edom, a nation once located at the southeast border of Israel. This message of doom was announced against Edom because of its hostility towards Israel, God’s chosen nation. Obadiah interprets the nation of Israel’s history and shows how God is faithful to keep his covenantal promises to his people. Amongst the twelve minor or shorter-writing prophets, Joel, Amos, and Obadiah share similar themes and are therefore grouped together in our Bibles. Obadiah reinforces the timeless message of God’s sovereignty over all of the nations of the world and the fact that God always keeps his promises. Jesus Christ is at the climax of the fulfillment of this prophecy and the hope that it provides.
