Obadiah 01: God's Just Faithfulness

Obadiah delivers a powerful message about God's just faithfulness toward both Edom's betrayal of Judah and His ultimate plans to restore His people despite their suffering.

• Written around 586 BC when Babylon was destroying Jerusalem
• Edom either allied with Babylon or took advantage of Judah's downfall
• Obadiah's name means "servant of the Lord" though we know little else about him
• Contemporary with prophets Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and Daniel
• Central message: "As you have done to Israel, so it will be done to you"
• Reminds us that God takes injustice seriously even when it appears to go unpunished
• Warns against pride and gloating when others suffer
• Reassures believers that God will ultimately set things right
• Points ahead to Christ as the true king in whom kingdoms belong
• Encourages us not to compare our calling with others but to faithfully serve where God leads
