Unlock the Prophetic Book of Obadiah with this in-depth Bible lesson as we explore God's powerful message of judgment on the nation of Edom and the glorious promise of restoration for Jacob (Israel) after the 586 B.C. Babylonian Exile. Learn the critical historical context of Edom's treachery—descendants of Esau who mocked and looted Judah during the destruction of the Temple and the march into exile. We break down the concept of the "Day of the Lord" in the Minor Prophets, showing how it refers to immediate, historical judgments (like Babylon's conquest of Edom in 539 B.C.) and how it points to the ultimate inheritance of the Promised Land. This message is vital for Reformed, Presbyterian, and Evangelical Christians seeking to understand God's consistent justice and faithfulness to His covenant people, even when they face the severest of trials.

Delve into the Book of Obadiah, the shortest book in the Old Testament, but one packed with powerful prophecy! This week, we examine Obadiah's prophecy against Edom, focusing on the central themes of covenant faithfulness and divine judgment. This is essential viewing for anyone studying the Minor Prophets or Reformed Theology.

Lesson Summary & Core Themes

In this in-depth Bible study, we unpack the historical context of 586 BC, when Babylon conquered Jerusalem and the Edomites (descendants of Esau and cousins to Judah) committed the horrific sin of celebrating and looting their "brother's" downfall.

The Cousin Rivalry: Learn the background of the centuries-long conflict between Jacob (Israel) and Esau (Edom), rooted in Genesis.

The Day of the Lord: We clarify how the phrase "The Day of the Lord" applies not only to the final return of Christ, but also to historical events, specifically the fall of Judah and the subsequent destruction of Edom by Babylon.

God's Vengeance & Restoration: Discover the two-fold purpose of the book: to assure the exiled Judahites of their future grand restoration to the promised land (538 BC) and to guarantee the inevitable judgment of Edomfor their wickedness. God assures his people: "Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord" (Romans 12).

Key Passages: We analyze verses like Obadiah 15-18, where the prophet declares that just as the nations drank the cup of God's wrath, so too will they drink it in return.
