Obadiah
Summary: Brief and to the point. Most of in arguments with our relatives become curt and short with our speech. Obadiah's message to Edom is such a book. As relatives for Israel the ferocious mountain warrios take after the ancestor Esua. Proud brash instead of aiding Israel in helping with there enemies they sat an gloated over Israel's misfortune. Sending some fugitives to the enemy and at times pillaging Israel's countryside.
Things I Noticed:
1. Edom soared like eagles, and there home was set amongst the star (Oba 1:4) [I just liked the wording]
2. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. (A powerful promise)
Obadiah is finished and Jonah who get fish swallowed is next. As always I am still continuing my journey through Matthew the tax collector who Jesus called friend. Till then, Read up, Post up, and Shalom.
