What can we learn from Obadiah about God's judgment?
Answered in 1 source
Obadiah illustrates that God's judgment is certain against those who rebel against Him, represented by the nation of Edom.
The book of Obadiah serves as a stark reminder of God's justice against rebellion. The prophet delivers a vision concerning Edom, a representation of all who oppose God and His people. God's declaration of judgment illustrates that rebellion comes with consequences. In Obadiah 1:10, the text highlights the shame that will cover Edom due to their violence against Jacob. Ultimately, this shows that God's justice is not arbitrary but is based on His righteous character, and He will act decisively against all forms of injustice and rebellion, assuring His people that they will be vindicated.
