God’s Coming Kingdom
The long history of Jacob, father of Israel, and his brother Esau, father of Edom, is a story of family unhappiness. Edom tormented Israel throughout the centuries. One day all the enemies of God’s people will pass away. Then the Lord will reign over his people in peace. We cannot imagine in our time how these things will happen, but the word-picture we see here will certainly come about. Which side will you be on?
Obadiah 17-21
Come closer and listen! I have never kept secret the things I have said, and I was here before time began. By the power of his Spirit the LORD God has sent me with this message: People of Israel, I am the holy LORD God, the one who rescues you. For your own good, I teach you, and I lead you along the right path. How I wish that you had obeyed my commands! Your success and good fortune would then have overflowed like a flooding river. Your nation would be blessed with more people than there are grains of sand along the seashore. And I would never have let your country be destroyed.
Now leave Babylon! Celebrate as you go. Be happy and shout for everyone to hear, “The LORD has rescued his servant Israel! He led us through the desert and made water flow from a rock to satisfy our thirst. But the LORD has promised that none who are evil will live in peace.”
