Obadiah 1:1\u00a0 <\/span>Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: \u201cRise up! Let us rise against her for battle!\u201d Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you shall be utterly despised. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, \u201cWho will bring me down to the ground?\u201d Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the Lord.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 16:18<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0Pride goes before destruction, and a haughty spirit before a fall.<\/p>\n

Proverbs 29:23<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0One’s pride will bring him low, but he who is lowly in spirit will obtain honor.<\/p>\n

Jeremiah 48:29-30<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0We have heard of the pride of Moab\u2014 he is very proud\u2014 of his loftiness, his pride, and his arrogance, and the haughtiness of his heart.\u00a0\u00a0I know his insolence, declares the LORD; his boasts are false, his deeds are false.<\/p>\n

Malachi 1:4<\/b><\/span><\/a>\u00a0\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0\u00a0If Edom says, \u201cWe are shattered but we will rebuild the ruins,\u201d the LORD of hosts says, \u201cThey may build, but I will tear down, and they will be called \u2018the wicked country,\u2019 and \u2018the people with whom the LORD is angry forever.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Obadiah wrote this shortest book of the Old Testament probably soon after the armies of Babylon destroyed Jerusalem (586 b.c.). During this conquest, the people of Edom helped capture fleeing Israelites and turn them over to the Babylonians. They even took up residence in some Judean villages. This angered the Lord, for the Edomites, as descendants of Esau, were related to the Israelites (Gen. 25:21-26, 30) and therefore should have helped them. Obadiah prophesied that Edom would be repaid for mistreating God\u2019s people. Obadiah also asserted that God is sovereign over the nations and that the house of Jacob would be restored because of God\u2019s covenant love for his people.<\/p>\n

The spirit of pride is a parasite upon the souls of men. It never forgives. Nor will it receive forgiveness. So the human hearts over which it rules remain “unforgiven”. The Edomite nurses his anger; he “keeps his wrath forever”. And he never surrenders to God. He remains “unforgiven”. He never finds peace with God, peace with his fellow man, or peace with himself. Unless he repents, he cannot be saved from the wrath to come.\u00a0 <\/span>He goes to the judgment shaking his fist at God. And descends into the fires of hell in a torment that will last forever.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
