🏔️ The Story of Obadiah — Pride and Justice
Part One:
God’s Message Against Edom
Obadiah delivers a message from God to the
nation of Edom, descendants of Esau, who lived southeast of Judah.
“Because of your pride and your violence
against your brother Jacob, you will be humbled.”
Edom had been arrogant, feeling safe in their
mountains, yet they had mocked and exploited Judah during difficult
times.
Part Two:
The Warning of Judgment
God’s message was clear:
- Pride
and cruelty are dangerous
- God
sees injustice, even when it seems hidden
- Nations
that harm others, especially God’s people, will face His judgment
“Though you soar like the eagle and make your
nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down.”
No one can escape God’s justice.
Part Three:
God’s Deliverance for His People
Even as Edom faced judgment, God promised hope
and restoration for Israel:
- God’s
people will reclaim their land
- They
will possess what was lost
- God’s
kingdom will triumph over all opposition
“The kingdom will be the Lord’s.”
God’s faithfulness and protection are
unwavering.
Part Four:
Lessons from Obadiah
Obadiah teaches us:
- Pride
leads to downfall; humility honors God
- God
sees every act of injustice
- God
protects and restores His people
- His
sovereignty is absolute — no nation or person can escape His judgment
