Podcasts about Edom

When we read from 2 Chronicles in our last episode, we covered Edom's rebellion against Judah during Jehoram's reign, wherein they separated from Judah and established their own king. Obadiah rebukes this nation for their rebellion in our first reading. A return to the book of Kings, now in the second part, means a little backtracking: in short, Jehoshaphat is king and Jehoram has not yet taken the throne. Ahab's son Ahaziah is now on the throne in Samaria of Israel, but he won't outlive the Lord's prophecy against Ahab which says that his family line would come to an end in the next generation. Last but not least, the prophet Elijah passes his mantle to Elisha who receives a double portion of Elijah's spirit.Obadiah - 1:03 . 2 Kings 1 - 6:10 . 2 Kings 2 - 11:43 . Psalm 119:81 - 17:31 .  :::Christian Standard Bible translation.All music written and produced by John Burgess Ross.Co-produced by the Christian Standard Bible.facebook.com/commuterbibleinstagram.com/commuter_bibletwitter.com/CommuterPodpatreon.com/commuterbibleadmin@commuterbible.org

“Even thou wast as one of them.” — Obadiah 1:11 Brotherly kindness was due from Edom to Israel in the time of need, but instead thereof, the men of Esau made common cause with Israel's foes. Special stress in the sentence before us is laid upon the word thou; as when Caesar cried to Brutus, […]

2 Samuel 8 continues the enacted parable which commenced in chapter 6. After the promise of chapter 7 David strikes against his surrounding foes. David in Psalm 110 describes the role of Messiah - the king-priest after the order of Melchizedek - who would commence his rule among his enemies: Psalm 110 verse 2. Some of the victories recorded in 2 Samuel 8 are placed by the author of this segment of Samuel's second book, although these are deliberately placed out of chronological order. This is to develop the symbolism of the enactment. Teaching through the parabolic form is an important part of Scripture as it takes our minds along with the developing story. The Moabites were severely dealt with and the Syrians defeated and garrisoned to prevent them from uprising. Syria's king's crown was sent to David and placed on his head. The king of Hamath after hearing of the Syrians defeat sent tribute to king David. Verses 11-12 name the nations subdued by David and the collected tribute dedicated to God - no doubt being collected for the building of the temple in Solomon's reign. Next David subdued Edom and placed troops there. Verses 16-18 speak of the nation's officers set over his kingdom's administration. Chapter 9 tells of David's kindness to Mephibosheth Jonathan's lame son. David enquired of Ziba one of the servants of Jonathan's house, possibly appointed by the previous king Saul, as to whether there were any survivors of Saul's household to whom David could show kindness. David is told of Mephibosheth who is now raised to sit with David at the king's table. Mephibosheth shows reverence to David and declares his unworthiness of such an honour. Ziba is given the responsibility of managing Mephibosheth's estates; whilst Jonathan's son goes to Jerusalem.    In Jeremiah 13 verses 1-7 the prophet is told by the Almighty to go to place a dry loincloth around his waist. Many days later Jeremiah was asked to to the Euphrates River and put the cloth in a safe place in the cleft of a rock near the river. The clothing was buried and Jeremiah returned to Jerusalem. What a long journey God had asked him to take! The lesson must have been important. Later again Jeremiah is sent back to where he had buried his clothes and God asked him to find his clothes. Then as would have been expected the prophet recovers his ruined clothing. Two return journeys each of about a thousand kilometres for each of these trips. In verses 8-11 Yahweh tells Jeremiah what all this signified. It was the LORD's expectation that His people would cling closely to their God. They should have been an adornment to the God of Israel. Instead the nation proved to be worthless for the purpose to which their Sovereign had called them. In verses 12-14 Jeremiah is told of the parable of the many wineskins which were to represent the people of the LORD filled with His teachings. Instead Judah had imbibed every wine that was contrary to the ways of Yahweh. They had become drunk with the wine of Babylon - from the leaders to the common people. And so their Omnipotent Maker would not spare His people. The language describing their destruction is reminiscent of Psalm 137 verse 8 which tells of Babylon's destruction. Verses 15-17 tell of the coming exile of Yahweh's flock. There are three very strong allusions in these verses which are picked up by our Lord Jesus Christ in the raising of Lazarus in John 11 verses 1-10, 35. Pause and reflect on why our Lord would use this chapter from Jeremiah when he is under siege from the rulers of the Jews. In Jeremiah 13 verses 18-19 the rulers of God's people are told that the Almighty would soon send them into exile. Verses 20-22 explain the nation's immorality for which Judah's husband was to discipline His wife. Verse 23 says that their behaviour was true to type just as the Ethiopian's skin would always be dark. Verses 24-27 speak of the punishment being Judah's scattering and that it was befitting of their lack of respect for Almighty God.  In chapters 24 and 25 of Matthew we have "The Olivet Prophecy".  The first of these chapters is today's reading and centres on signs answering the three questions of verse 3. Chapter 25 is more about readying ourselves for our Lord's return. Note the link to the end of chapter 23. The leprous house was to be thrown down stone by stone. Disciples would be confused by claims made by false Messiahs and these would be accompanied by betrayal and persecution. A great sign to believers would be the desolation of Israel caused by the Roman invasion which had been foretold by Moses in Deuteronomy 28 and to Daniel in his ninth chapter. Opportunity would be provided for disciples to flee; this happened as Robert Roberts pointed out in "Ways of Providence" on five occasions. But those failing to heed Jesus' warnings would perish in the destruction of Jerusalem and its temple. The "Sign of the Son of Man in heaven" related to the presence of Rome's armies in the incipient fulfilling of those words and later, to a larger degree, to the restoration of the state of Israel. Next followed the parable of the fig tree (representative of Israel), and tells us why desolation had to come. Despite the signs none could know exactly when. Preparedness would be essential and disciples need to be ready by demonstrating patience by two traits - wisdom and faithfulness (verse 45). Chapter 25, in tomorrow's readings, will explain this through parables.

The Rage and Age of Gog and Magog Let's start with our familiar text: Awake, O north wind, And come, wind of the south; Make my garden breathe out fragrance, Let its spices be wafted abroad. May my beloved come into his garden And eat its choice fruits!” (So 4:16) This call to “Awake, O North” is thought to encompass three distinct calls recorded in 1. Jeremiah 31:7-8 (exiles of Israel), 2. Isaiah 41:25 (Messiah) 3. Gog and Magog (Ezek 38:2) Why are all three being called to "Awake" simultaneously? To awake in Scripture can have a few connotations. The contextual explanation is that there has been a period of inactivity, and the prophetic call is to arouse each group to action. Messiah will begin to gather the exiles who have aroused from a period of spiritual apathy, and simultaneously, Gog and Magog will awaken in that generation to create the chaos and darkness necessary to awaken Israel from spiritual "sleep." Because the gematria of Gog and Magog is 70 [Gimmel-Vav-Gimmel Vav-Mem-Gimmel-Vav-Gimmel, 3+6+3+6+40+3+6+3], they are thought to represent the symbolic 70 nations of the world, which will gather against both 1. Adonai and 2. Israel. Various commentaries make oblique references to Gog and Magog, but it will not be understood fully until the day arrives. Some say it is the descendants of Amalek among the nations. Amalek, from which King Agag arose, is the murderous spirit of Edom, or Rome, the fourth beast, headed by Babylon. In that sense, Gog (chief person) and Magog (his nation, people) has arisen in every generation to provoke the Holy One and people who trust in Him and obey Him. The Scriptures cited below reiterate that Gog and Magog are not a single ruler and nation, but a wicked remnant embedded among all nations. In some generations, they will rise up with enough strength and cunning to marshal huge numbers of the population to join their murderous schemes. The pre-millennial war will bring Israel to repentance, and Adonai Himself will destroy Gog and Magog with confusion, thunder, hail, blood, and lightning (Ezek 38-39). In other words, an amalgam of Egypt and Assyria's judgments. Psalm Two is traditionally associated with Gog of Magog: Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples devising a vain thing?The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,“Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!” He who sits in the heavens laughs, the Lord scoffs at them. Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them in His fury, saying, “But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My holy mountain.” (Ps 2:1-6) The commentators note that in this attack of Gog, it revisits an important precedent in Babel: at the tower of Bavel, the united conspirators agreed to attack Heaven itself. As a result, YHVH confused them, and the 70 languages of the nations were born. This is the traditional location of Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue. Amalek in the Torah portion Balak is referred to "first of the nations," in other words, the first to openly rebel against Heaven itself by attacking Israel in the wilderness; this "first" attack was also the first direct attack against Heaven since the "nation of mankind" attempted to penetrate it rebelliously at the Tower of Bavel. At the final attack of Gog from Magog, the nations will once again undertake to assemble and attack YHVH and Messiah DIRECTLY, thinking the Holy City Jerusalem has a “Patron” who will defend it. They believe this was the wicked Amalekite Haman's fallacy, attacking the Jews first instead of their God. Something will cause them to believe they have the wherewithal to wage war directly against YHVH and King Messiah. What do Gog and Magog have to do with the third “awakening” of the winds?

OBADIAH (SERVENT OF YAHWEHThere is at least twelve people name Obadiah in the Bible. Smiths Bible Dictionary The book itself does not include much information about Obadiah, nor the date and place of the book being written The book of Obadiah is about Edom's judgment and Israel's restoration.In this morning's study we will continue to ‘Unravel the Words of Obadiah'. We will take a look at verses 5 thru 8. Obadiah means “Servant of Yahweh”. As a servant of Yahweh our desire is to work for Him and also to be pleasing to Him. This is really where it begins for each of us. In our last study Yahweh has shown us that the vision of Obadiah (servant Of Yahweh) was to the nation of Edom/Esau. Yahweh stated that Edom may think that they are a large nation; however we see that Yahweh has made them a small nation. We are also shown that pride was the main enemy within Edom, thinking that they are above all other nations. 5   If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night = First of all note ‘IF' this is a condition.  Doesn't matter if one came by day, and the other by night, or both by night, the same being meant by different words, whose intent is to plunder and steal, and carry off what they can.how art thou cut off! = from being a nation, truly destroyed; your people killed, or carried captive; your fortresses demolished, would they not have stolen till they had enough? = as much as they came for, or could carry offif the grape gatherers come to thee, would they not leave some grapes? = that is, if men should come into thy vineyards, and gather the grapes, and carry them off by force or stealth, would they take them all a way?6  How . . . ! = Figure of speech Er´-ô-tee´-sis. Greek, , interrogation (from ἐρωτᾶν, to ask, to enquire, to question: also to request).This figure is used when a speaker or writer asks animated questions, but not to obtain informationsearched out: = i.e. discovered by the enemies. Ginsburg thinks it should be read "stripped bare".How are the things of Esau searched out! = Or how are the people of Esau, sought out!I           We may consider ESAU AS THE TYPE OF THE SELF-CONFIDENT.II         In the next place, we may consider ESAU AS THE TYPE OF THE WORLDLY.III            In the next place, we may consider ESAU AS THE TYPE OF THE UNSYMPATHIZING AND CRUEL7   confederacy. = See Psa. 83:5-8. The men of your covenant. The people from Esau are going to be part of a group, an alliance, a confederacy.the men, &c. = the men who desire to salute you. They are going to deceive youthey that eat. = The Ellipsis is thus correctly supplied. El-lip´-sis. This is the Greek word ἔλλειψις, a leaving in, from ἐν (en) in, and λείπειν (leipein) to leave.Your bread is going to be taken: = Their provision, what they survived onwound = snare. Instead of supporting them, they secretly did that which was wounding to them. The word signifies both a wound and a plaster; they pretended to lay a plaster to heal, but made a wound; or made the wound worse.understanding in him = or, no discernment of it8          that day: = i.e. the day of the fulfillment of the prophecy. Compare Isa. 63:1-6.Destroy the wise men…the ones of understanding = Yahweh is going to destroy their wise ones and leave them to consult with fools (1 Corinthians 1:19-29).Have any questions?

"Judgment, Restoration, and the Reign to Come”

In this episode, we examine a curious detail tucked into the final chapters of Solomon's story in 1 Kings 11:14–25: the sudden introduction of adversaries—foreign “satans”—raised up by God as instruments of discipline and judgment. Strangely, these figures are never mentioned during the development or height of Solomon's reign, even though one, Hadad the Edomite, had been active from the beginning. Why does the narrator wait until the end to reveal them?We explore the theological significance of this narrative choice, noting that both adversaries emerge from outside of Israel—Hadad from the south (Edom) and Rezon from the north (Aram/Syria)—strategically positioned at the entry points to Israel's land. It's as if God is encircling Solomon's kingdom, initiating judgment from the very edges of the nation's security and prosperity.Then, we leap forward to the New Testament where Peter, in Matthew 16:21–23, becomes an unexpected “satan” to Jesus—an adversary not from the outside, but from within. Peter's well-meaning but misguided rebuke tempts Jesus to embrace a human-centered vision of kingship, one that avoids the cross. But unlike Israel's previous kings, Jesus does not deviate. He discerns the difference between the “things of God” and the “things of men,” and chooses the path of obedience.Through this contrast, we uncover what makes Jesus not only the rightful King of Israel but the sovereign King over all nations: He alone withstands the adversary's in his life - internal and external - whether foreign or familiar, and remains wholly aligned with the will of God.Key Passages:1 Kings 11:14-25Matthew 16:21-23Explainer⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Video⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ on how to use ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.biblehub.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.blueletterbible.org⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Leave us a question or comment at our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠website podcast page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.* Intro Music: "Admirable" Carlos Herrera Music

Obadiah is an odd little book, announcing judgment on Edom, spelled as the Hebrew term for humanity, Adam. We suggest listening/reading to God's word in light of this nice little video that contextualizes this book amongst its other prophetic books. http://youtube.com/watch?v=i4ogCrEoG5s

We will take a look at verses 1 thru 4. I will also read from 1 Kings 8 beginning with verse 16.Obadiah means “Servant of Yahweh”. As a servant of Yahweh our desire is to work for Him and also to be pleasing to Him. This is really where it begins for each of us. Yahweh is not going to teach us, illuminate Biblical texts for us, or give us insight if we are not interested in serving Him or doing His work. 1  Thus saith, &c. = The words of this prophecy, therefore, are not Obadiah's, but Yahweh's.the Lord GOD. = Hebrew Adonai Jehovah. concerning Edom. = This is a unique prophecy. The audience is not Israel, but it is a prophecy spoken to the nations. The Edomites are descended from Esau.a rumour = tidings. the LORD. = Hebrew. Yahweh. Supply the logical Ellipsis: "from Yahweh [that Edom is to be attacked]". And = or, and [already]. Ambassador = This prophet, like an apostle, was sent forth among the nations (the Gentiles) to proclaim a message to them – he was not sent solely to Israel, as was so often the case with these prophets.2  Behold = Figure of speech As-ter-is-mos. A calling of attention to a thing by making an asterisk. Calling attention to the words of Yahweh. This means we need to pay attention to what follows, as it is very important. Thee = Yahweh is now speaking to Edom. Small = This is a word for abbreviated or little - in this context it means insignificant. Despised = Contemptible. This is the same word used to describe how Esau thought of his birth right. He had contempt for it. He thought little of it. 3   The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee = The Edomites were proud of their wealth and riches, which they had by stealing when combined together; and of their military skill and courage, and of their friends and allies;Pride = zaw-done' From ‘zood' or ‘zeed'; arrogance. The Bible refers to two types of sin: Intentional sin and unintentional sin. Unintentional sin is sin that is done without intent (You did wrong, but you didn't have the intent to do wrong). It is done out of negligence or carelessness. It is still a sin, however, and it still needs to be dealt with – all sin has consequences. Intentional sin, on the other hand, has a degree of rebellion, forethought and intent attached to it. This is a more serious form of sin. This intentional sin is what Yahweh is referring to here in regard to the people in the last days – Edom (Proverbs 18:12) High = Elevated. Lifted high, out of reach. Who will bring me down? This is Edom's question. We know the answer to this…Yahweh! Yahweh humbles the proud (Proverbs 29:23)4  among the stars = Figure of speech Hy-per-bo-le. (a casting or going beyond, overshooting, excess. The figure is so called because the expression adds to the sense so much that it exaggerates it, and enlarges or diminishes it more than is really meant in fact. Or, when more is said than is meant to be literally understood, in order to heighten the sense.) Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

THE SHORT BOOK of Obadiah prophesied judgment on the nation of Edom for its role in the destruction of Jerusalem by Babylon in 586 BC. However, Obadiah also prophesied a future reversal of fortunes, when, on the Day of Yahweh, the people of Israel would possess the lands of their tormentors—which includes Philistia (the Gaza Strip) and Zarephath (southern Lebanon, recently occupied by the IDF as a buffer zone against Hezbollah). Sharon's niece, Sarah Sachleben, was recently diagnosed with stage 4 bowel cancer, and the medical bills are piling up. If you are led to help, please go to GilbertHouse.org/hopeforsarah.

OBADIAH (SERVENT OF YAHWEHThere is at least twelve people name Obadiah in the Bible. Smiths Bible Dictionary The book itself does not include much information about Obadiah, nor the date and place of the book being written The book of Obadiah is about Edom's judgment and Israel's restorationAccording to Mark Rooker: “The book of Obadiah is a condemnation of Edom for her evil treatment of Judah during the time of Judah's greatest crisis, the fall of Jerusalem to the Babylonian empire.” In this morning's study I will go into detail on who are these Edomites and what Obadiah is all aboutThe main purpose of this prophecy of Obadiah is to reveal to us the events that must take place for this world, Yahweh's creation, to become established as the Lord's KingdomNote: For the most part, throughout this study, “Esau” and “Edom” refer to the descendants of Esau. Likewise, ‘Jacob' refers to the descendants of Jacob (i.e. Israel) Obadiah means “Servant of Yahweh”. As a servant of Yahweh our desire is to work for Him and also to be pleasing to Him. This is really where it begins for each of us. Yahweh is not going to teach us, illuminate Biblical texts for us, or give us insight if we are not interested in serving Him or doing His work  The very fact that this book consists of only one chapter should alert us to its importance. If it was unimportant, Yahweh would not have preserved it, and it would have disappeared long ago. Its length also simplifies our task of discovering its message. Like all the Bible books, this one has a message that is vital for us today as well as for its original reader's centuries ago1.       This is the shortest book in the Old Testament with 21 verses 2.       About Edom1.       It is a country located on the southeastern shore of the Dead Sea 2.       Sometimes it is also called Seir as indicated in Genesis 32:3; 36:20–21, 30; Numbers 24:18 3.       The father of the Edomites was Esau and the battle between Israel and Edom goes back to their forefathers who were twin brothers Esau and Jacob in whom they were already fighting in the womb as seen in Genesis 25:21-274.       When the Hebrews headed towards the Promise Land Edom refused them travel through their territory (Numbers 20:14–21, Judges 11:17–18)5.       At one point David controlled Edom (2 Samuel 8:13-14, 1 Kings 11:15-18) but two centuries later they threw off Judah's control during the reign of Jehoram (2 Kings 8:20-22) 6.       Later Edomites raided Judah and took captives during the reign of Ahaz (2 Chronicles 28:17) 7.       The worst act of Edom against Israel was participating with the Babylonians with the Babylonian destruction of Jerusalem1.       “Remember, O Lord, against the sons of Edom The day of Jerusalem, Who said, “Raze it, raze it To its very foundation.”” (Psalm 137:7)3.       Edom's sin1.       Pride1.       They have pride in their defensive capital makes them think no one can invade and defeat them (3-4)2.       They have pride in their renowned wise men (8)3.       They have pride in their mighty warriors (9)2.       Violence towards Israel: ““Because of violence to your brother Jacob, You will be covered with shame, And you will be cut off forever.” (10)Join me as we go Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse, Unraveling the Words of Yahweh!Have any questions?

This sermon explores the book of Obadiah, focusing on the destructive nature of pride in relationships and its consequences. Pastor Jeff uses the historical conflict between Edom and Israel to illustrate how pride can lead to harmful actions and ultimately bring about divine judgment. He emphasizes the importance of humility in our relationships with others […] The post Pride only Brings Pain appeared first on Echo Lake Church.

Join Chris Montgomery as he delves into the Book of Obadiah, exploring themes of pride, unity, and God's message to Edom. This sermon highlights the importance of relationships and interconnectedness within the Christian faith, warning against the dangers of pride and isolation. Through biblical insights, it emphasizes the call for unity among God's people across all generations and cultures.

1 After this the Moabites and Ammonites, and with them some of the Meunites, came against Jehoshaphat for battle. 2 Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, “A great multitude is coming against you from Edom, from beyond the sea; and, behold, they are in Hazazon-tamar” (that is, Engedi). 3 Then Jehoshaphat…

Parshas Chukas: Our Story, Continued Our Parsha begins with the mysterious laws of the Parah Adumah and journeys through profound moments of loss, leadership, and legacy. From the death of Miriam to Moshe's request for safe passage through Edom, the Torah weaves a story not just of history—but of soul.  This is our story. One of pain and promise, of exile and return. And when we carry each other, even from afar, we step into something eternal.

Send us a textPride, locusts, and divine justice take center stage as three voices from our community unpack powerful lessons from the Minor Prophets. Far from being footnotes in Scripture, these ancient messengers offer timely warnings that speak directly to our modern hearts.Barbara Burke begins by examining Obadiah's pointed message to Edom. What happens when generational bitterness festers into active hostility? The Edomites—descendants of Esau—not only refused to help their brother nation during invasion but actively participated in their destruction and gloated over their downfall. Their pride became their undoing. As Barbara powerfully reminds us, "Pride of heart is the attitude of a lie that declares its ability to live without God." How often do we walk out of worship only to live as if we can handle everything ourselves?Dave Henderson brings Joel's message to life, describing waves of locusts that stripped Judah bare—a divine wake-up call that eliminated even their ability to offer sacrifices. Yet God's message wasn't merely judgment but invitation: "Rend your hearts, not your garments." When genuine repentance followed, God promised restoration beyond imagination: "I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten." For those feeling stripped bare by life's difficulties, Joel offers hope that nothing is beyond God's restorative power.Angie concludes with Nahum's prophecy against Nineveh, revealing God as patient, powerful, and just. Though temporarily spared after Jonah's reluctant preaching, Nineveh returned to brutal practices and faced divine judgment. Yet even in pronouncing judgment, Nahum reminds us that "The LORD is good, a stronghold in the day of trouble. He knows those who take refuge in him."These prophetic voices collectively challenge our spiritual complacency and the small, incremental steps that gradually lead us away from God. Our culture prioritizes instant gratification—likes, follows, success without sacrifice—but the Minor Prophets remind us that temporary pleasure pales compared to lasting relationship with our Creator. As Angie perfectly summarizes, "Life with Jesus may not be easy, but it is always worth it."Have you examined your heart lately? What pride, injustice, or complacency might be keeping you from experiencing God's restoration? Draw near to Him today, and watch the impossible become possible.Cornerstonehttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/Follow Jesushttps://www.cornerstoneaz.org/follow-jesusLife Groups https://www.cornerstoneaz.org/life-groupsGiving https://cornerstoneaz.churchcenter.com/givingChurch Center App - Download then add Cornerstone Christian Center in Avondale, AZiOShttps://itunes.apple.com/us/app/my-church-center/id1357742931?mt=8&ls=1&ign-mpt=uo%3D4Android https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ministrycentered.churchcenter----Instagram https://www.instagram.com/cornerstoneazFacebookhttps://www.facebook.com/cornerstoneaz.orgTwitterhttps://twitter.com/cornerstoneaz.org

As we continue to make our way through the Minor Prophets, we arrive at the smallest book of prophecy, the book of Obadiah. In just 21 verses, we see God's determination to restore His people through judgment on display in the destruction of Edom. We also learn four important lessons for our lives today about the destructive nature of pride and the trustworthy sovereignty of God, our good and just Judge.Main PointsThrough judgment, God will restore His people. Lesson #1: Obadiah reminds us of the destruction of pride. Lesson #2: Obadiah reminds us that God's people are saved through judgment.Lesson #3: Obadiah reminds us that God is just and will judge; this is good news.Lesson #4: Obadiah reminds us that the eternal kingdom is the Lord's.Key TakeawaysNapoleon is known for his pride. His pride led to his destruction. Similarly, the book of Obadiah tells about the pride and fall of the Edomites. Yet it also contains a message of hope that through judgment God will restore His people.God's indictment against Edom (vv. 1-2) is sent among the nations as a warning against pride. Verses 3-4 describe the Edomites' problem: their arrogance. God promised to oppose Edom for their pride.The Lord declares total devastation will come to Edom (vv. 5-9).Verses 10-14 demonstrate how this pride from Edom has manifested toward the Israelites, their blood relatives. They should have allied with Israel but instead, they were violent toward them because of their pride. In doing so, they opposed both God and God's people.Verse 15 is a key verse. It describes a reversal of fortune. Essentially, in colloquial terms, “what goes around comes around.” God promises the Edomites will drink a cup of judgment, bringing about their own demise by their destructive actions even as God Himself judges them for rejecting Him. Thus we see the balance between human responsibility and divine sovereignty. Obadiah's prophecy was fulfilled, and quickly. The Nabateans overthrew Edom. This was the prophecy's immediate fulfillment.But the ultimate fulfillment will be Jesus' second coming when God judges all the nations—the righteous unto salvation and unrighteous unto judgment.Verses 17-21 transitions from a message of destruction to a message of hope and restoration. Though God judged His people (see the book of Amos), a remnant remains and God will restore them.God's ultimate objective is the realization of His eternal kingdom to bless His people forever.Lesson #1: Obadiah reminds us of the destruction of pride. The Noah Webster Dictionary of 1828 defines pride this way: “Pride is inordinate self-esteem; an unreasonable conceit of one's own superiority in talents, beauty, wealth, accomplishments, rank or office, which manifests itself in lofty airs, distance, reserve, and often in contempt of others.”The ultimate expression of pride is living without an understanding and declaration of our desperate need for God.The most severe manifestation is the willful rejection of the triune God and His Word. All pride leads to destruction.Yet it's inherent in our fallen nature. Even as believers, our flesh wrestles with our new self in Christ. But God in His love allows the destructive consequences of pride to humble us and bring us to repentance.Lesson #2: Obadiah reminds us that God's people are saved through judgment.We have all acted in the sin of pride in opposition to God. And we are saved through judgment—God's judgment of sin poured out on Christ in our stead.Lesson #3: Obadiah reminds us that God is just and will judge; this is good news.God will right all wrongs. And He is a better Judge than we are. Vengeance is His (Romans 12:19-21). Lesson #4: Obadiah reminds us that the eternal kingdom is the Lord's.Justice is coming. This world is not our treasure. As we sing, “Though the nations rage and kingdoms rise and fall, there is still one King reigning over all; and I shall not fear, for this truth remains—that my God is the Ancient of Days.”The greatest declaration of pride is, “Lord, I don't need You.” May our humble declaration be, “Lord, I need You.”Discussion Questions/ApplicationPersonal application:Spend some time asking the Spirit to help you identify pride in your heart. How do you see pride show up in your life on a weekly/daily basis? How do you live as though you don't need God? How do you see apathy toward God show up in your life? If you have trouble, think through a recent conflict. How did your pride play a role? Are you experiencing any destructive consequences of pride right now?Consider: Do you see a holy hatred of pride growing in your life? How? If not, how can you begin—through the Holy Spirit's power—to cultivate it more?Discuss with your community group:What wrongs are you struggling with right now, desiring to see justice prevail? How can you more fully embrace God as our Judge and trust His timing and plan in this? Share about a time when pride led to destruction in your life. What happened? How did God use the consequences of your sin to lovingly discipline you and draw you to Him? How did you see James 4:4-10 at work?Passages ReferencedJames 4:4-10; Romans 3:23; Romans 6:23; Romans 12:19-21Worship Set List: The Passion, Firm Foundation (He Won't), Nothing Else, Death Was Arrested, Lord I Need You

In this episode, we look at Edom's mistreatment of Israel, and God's words to them because of their cruelty!

Thursday with Tabitha 3. Amos Amos was a prophet during the time of King Uzziah of Judah and King Jeroboam of Israel. His prophecy came somewhere roundabout the year 760 BC, give or take a few decades! At this time Israel and Judah were enjoying an unusual spell of prosperity and political stability. This was especially the case in Israel, where the land was very fertile and abundant crops were growing. The threat from the kingdom of Assyria seemed to have lessened, at least for the time being, so life was pretty good. Unfortunately the people of Israel and Judah had wandered far from the standards of holiness that God had intended for them. Idolatry was rampant, the rich were getting richer and more corrupt by the day and the wealthy were exploiting the poor. The Israelites falsely concluded that their prosperity was a sign of God's obvious blessing. They were looking forward to “the Day of the Lord” when God would finally crush their enemies. It is into this environment that Amos was called to prophesy. We're told that Amos came from Tekoa, a small village in Judah, south-east of Bethlehem. He is identified as a shepherd or maybe a sheep breeder. A rather unlikely choice for a prophet on the face of things! Amos begins his message in chapter 1 with a series of proclamations of God's judgement on the neighbours of the Israelites. He has words of judgement for Damascus, Gaza, Tyre, Edom, the Ammonites and the people of Moab. These people groups were enemies of the Israelites. The charges against them relate to their violence, cruelty and abuse of other human beings, particularly during times of war and conquest. The Israelites would probably have been nodding along happily until the beginning of chapter 2. At this point Amos suddenly turns his attention to Judah and then to Israel. The judgements leveled against God's people are of a different order altogether. God accuses them of violating the terms of his covenant with them - they are called to a higher standard of moral and spiritual living than the pagan nations around them. Amos doesn't hold back! The sins of the Israelites include oppression and exploitation of the poor, sexual sins, idolatry, misuse of God's temple, abuse and silencing of the prophets, and empty, ritualistic worship. God had patiently tried to warn his people, by sending them prophets and providing examples of holiness in the form of people like the Nazirites, who took vows of holiness and of abstinence from wine. But God's people had not listened and now God would judge them. The main message in the book of Amos is this: God's judgement is universal; Israel and Judah are not immune. Chapters 3 to 6 expand on the initial judgements outlined in the first two chapters. Even the women of Israel are exposed as people who oppress the poor - God likens them to the fat cows that graze in the fields of Bashan! God is appalled at the nature of the people's idolatrous worship. The people had started to offer sacrifices in places other than the temple in Jerusalem and they had appointed priests who were not Levites. These things were deviations from the instructions that God had provided for worship. They had even turned to worshipping golden calves and other idols. The Israelites thought that they were offering worship that was pleasing to God but it was actually detestable to him. In chapter 4 God summarises a series of warning shots that he gave to the people, which were intended to bring them back to him, but the tragic refrain is repeated over and over again: “yet you did not return to me”. In chapter 5 Amos entreats the people to turn back to God, telling them that it's perhaps not too late. God laments over Israel like a father whose virgin daughter has been raped or become a prostitute. In chapter 5 God declares the following: “I hate, I despise your feasts, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies. Even though you offer me your burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; and the peace offerings of your fattened animals, I will not look upon them. Take away from me the noise of your songs; to the melody of your harps I will not listen. But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream. (Amos 5:21-24 ESV) God calls the people to repent and come back to him and seek justice. In chapter 6 further sins are described which include the complacency of the people in the self-indulgence of the rich at the expense of the poor. Chapter 7 to 9 contain a series of visions which Amos has. These visions declare that God's judgement is unavoidable if God is to be just, which he must. The judgement is imminent. The final vision pictures God standing by the altar of the temple shaking it to its foundations. This is a prophecy about the final downfall of Israel. The prophecy was fulfilled very soon after this. Assyria gained power again and conquered Israel in 722 BC. After all the serious judgements and the terrifying reality of the impending downfall of Israel, the book of Amos ends on a tantalizing note of hope. Despite the people's willful disobedience and the depth of their depravity and sin, God is a God of mercy and deliverance. There is a promise of future restoration of the Israelites. God promises to repair the dwellings of David and preserve a remnant of his people for the future. So what can we learn from the book of Amos? Firstly, we learn that God is always just. God is a God of love and he is mercifully patient but he has to judge sin, otherwise he is not really loving at all. Despite appearances to the contrary, nobody is getting away with anything. Every human being who has ever lived or who will ever live must stand before God to be judged. And the truth is that none of us can stand before him with a perfect account, with an unblemished record of our own. However, the message of hope at the end of Amos hints at the salvation that would eventually come through Jesus. God never meant his judgements on Israel and Judah to be the last word. In mercy he preserved a remnant through the line of David through which the Messiah would come. Through Jesus, God has provided the means of our deliverance and restoration. Those who've trusted in Jesus' perfect, sinless record and accepted his payment for their sin (the sacrifice of his own life) will be able to stand before God without fear. Amos's message also shows us that the knowledge of God comes with responsibility. Those who know more of God and his standards of holiness will be held more accountable than those who have never heard about him. God chose the people of Israel out of all the peoples of the earth, but not because they were better or more numerous or more powerful. Quite the opposite in fact! They were chosen by grace alone. God made his covenant with the people of Israel and gave them clear boundaries of ethical and moral conduct and instructions for their spiritual worship. These were for their own protection and their own benefit. Today, as the new covenant people of God we are no longer required to keep all the requirements of the original old Testament law that God gave to Moses. However, Jesus did not come abolish the law but to fulfill it (Matt 5:17). Just because we have been freed from the demands of the law we are not simply free to do whatever we want. In fact as Jesus pointed out we are called to go above and beyond the requirements that the old law demanded. Rather than restraining ourselves to proportional revenge on our enemies we are called to love them. Instead of simply giving the bare minimum required we are called to give extravagantly. Jesus teaches us that the standard of holiness we are called to is so much higher than we would think. We should view sin with such seriousness that hating somebody should feel as bad as murder and lusting after another person should be regarded as adultery in the heart. Amos' words need to speak to us today, reminding us that God's standard of holiness is so much higher than we realize. Instead of passing our own judgement on the sinful Israelites we need to look honestly at our own lives and realize just how similar to them we can be. God calls his people to do justly, love mercy and walk humbly with him (Micah 6:8). Are we doing that? Do we actively look for opportunities to defend the rights of the poor in our society and our world? Do we think carefully about how we worship God? God is so merciful and patient with us – he calls us to come back to him, to abide in his love, to learn from him and to be his hands and feet in the world we live in.   Right Mouse click or tap here to download this episode as an audio mp3 file

Catalyst Church of Carrollton - 6/23/25 "Why Are You Settling?" “When the boys became men, Esau was a good hunter, out in the fields. Jacob was a quiet man. He stayed near to the tents. Isaac liked to eat the meat from the wild animals that Esau killed. So he loved Esau. But Rebekah loved Jacob. One day, Jacob was cooking a meal. Esau came back from the country. He was very hungry. He said to Jacob ‘Quick, let me have some of that red food! I am very hungry.' (That is why Esau was also called Edom.) Jacob said, ‘You must first sell me your birthright.' Esau said, ‘Look, I am so hungry that I will die. Then my birthright will not help me at all!' Jacob said, ‘First, make a serious promise to me.' So Esau promised to sell his birthright to Jacob. Then Jacob gave Esau some bread and the soup made from lentils. Esau ate the food and he drank. Then he got up and he left. In that way, Esau showed that he did not think that his birthright was important.” ‭‭Genesis‬ ‭25‬:‭27‬-‭34‬ ‭EASY‬‬ You become consumed by the chase and grow numb to the things of God. Worn out by the pursuit, you settle and trade what matters most for what feels urgent in the moment. You settle when you strive to earn what God has already given you.

Power Up:Amos 9:7 Are ye not as children of the Ethiopians unto me, O children of Israel? saith the LORD. Have not I brought up Israel out of the land of Egypt? and the Philistines from Caphtor, and the Syrians from Kir? 8 Behold, the eyes of the Lord GOD are upon the sinful kingdom, and I will destroy it from off the face of the earth; saving that I will not utterly destroy the house of Jacob, saith the LORD. 9 For, lo, I will command, and I will sift the house of Israel among all nations, like as corn is sifted in a sieve, yet shall not the least grain fall upon the earth. 10 All the sinners of my people shall die by the sword, which say, The evil shall not overtake nor prevent us. 11 In that day will I raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in the days of old: 12 that they may possess the remnant of Edom, and of all the heathen, which are called by my name, saith the LORD that doeth this. 13 Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that the plowman shall overtake the reaper, and the treader of grapes him that soweth seed; and the mountains shall drop sweet wine, and all the hills shall melt. 14 And I will bring again the captivity of my people of Israel, and they shall build the waste cities, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and drink the wine thereof; they shall also make gardens, and eat the fruit of them. 15 And I will plant them upon their land, and they shall no more be pulled up out of their land which I have given them, saith the LORD thy God., King James Version In this episode, we are seeking the Lord on behalf of several right now issues that we are facing on this earth.

We journey with the Israelites as they face resistance and hostility from nations like Edom and the Amorites on their way to the Land of Canaan. Despite these challenges, God continuously provides victory for His people. The Israelites face a significant event where God sends serpents due to their lack of faith and continuous complaints. However, they find healing by looking at a bronze serpent that Moses sets up on a pole. Support the showRead along with us in the Bible Brief App!

2 Chronicles 20 After this, the armies of the Moabites, Ammonites, and some of the Meunites[a] declared war on Jehoshaphat.2 Messengers came and told Jehoshaphat, “A vast army from Edom[b] is marching against you from beyond the Dead Sea.[c] They are already at Hazazon-tamar.” (This was another name for En-gedi.) 3 Jehoshaphat was terrified by […]

Jehoram, king of Israel, receives the backhanded compliment that he was only slightly better than his wicked father and mother. As Jehoram wants to keep receiving tribute from Moab, he allies with Jehoshaphat of Judah. They take the southern route to Moab in order to include Edom in their alliance, but run short of water. During the crisis, Jehoshaphat finally looks for the Word of the LORD from the prophet Elisha. Although Jehoram is unfaithful, Elisha faithfully proclaims God's Word for the sake of Jehoshaphat. The LORD provides water and brings defeat upon Moab, just as the prophet foretold. Yet the human sacrifice performed by the king of Moab leads to the LORD's wrath being poured out, and the destruction comes to an end. In the midst of so much sin, Elisha stands as an example of faithfully seeking after the Word of the LORD.  Rev. Andrew Belt, pastor at Christ Lutheran Church in Marshfield, WI, joins host Rev.

The division in the kingdom of Israel in this part of history was greater than a matter of north and south. The biggest division was between the people and their God. Yet even as the people rebelled against the LORD as their King, still He remained faithful to call them back to Himself through His prophets, working through history to send the good and gracious King, Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

At first glance, Genesis 36 might seem like just a long and intimidating list of unfamiliar names: Esau's wives, sons, tribal chiefs, and kings. But hidden within these seemingly "dry" genealogies is a vibrant testimony of God's surprising grace and sovereign care for all people. The Holy Spirit illustrates for us how even Esau's descendants—those outside the chosen line—are part of God's bigger picture. This reveals how the Lord's faithfulness spans generations and extends to every corner of our lives. The Rev.

In this episode of OOBT, we walk with Israel through some of the hardest moments in their wilderness journey — and we see how every scene whispers of Jesus.   Here's what you'll hear:   A strange ritual with a red heifer — What's up with ashes and cleansing? And how does it connect to Jesus purifying us from death?   Moses' heartbreaking mistake — He strikes the rock in frustration instead of speaking to it — and the consequence? He can't enter the Promised Land.   A family rejection from Edom — Israel asks to pass through peacefully. Edom, their “brother nation,” says no. What do we do when even family lets us down?   Poisonous serpents and the bronze snake — The people complain. Serpents strike. But God provides healing through something strange: a bronze snake lifted high. Spoiler: Jesus says this moment was always about Him (see John 3:14).   And the surprise ending? — Moses does enter the Promised Land—on the Mount of Transfiguration (Matthew 17, Mark 9). He stands beside Jesus in glory. Grace has the final word.   So even when we fail, even when the road is long, God doesn't give up on His people. The Rock was struck for us. The Son was lifted up. And when we look to Him — we live.   That's so good, friends. So very good. Be sure to listen in for all this and so much more!   For the full episode show notes, please go to https://mfahring.com/numbers-19-21/

Who are the Edomites—and could they reappear in end-time prophecy? This week, we trace Edom from Esau to ancient Mount Seir, through their destruction and dispersion, and even to figures like Herod. Could Edom be a type of something greater today, with prophetic implications for the return of Christ? Tune in as we dig into prophecy, history, and controversy.

Obadiah 1:1-21 The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God concerning Edom: We have heard a report from the Lord, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: “Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!” 2 Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you shall be utterly despised. 3 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, “Who will bring me down to the ground?” 4 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. 5 If thieves came to you, if plunderers came by night— how you have been destroyed!— would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings? 6 How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out! 7 All your allies have driven you to your border; those at peace with you have deceived you; they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you— you have no understanding. 8 Will I not on that day, declares the Lord, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau? 9 And your mighty men shall be dis-mayed, O Teman, so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter. 10 Because of the violence done to your brother Jacob, shame shall cover you, and you shall be cut off forever. 11 On the day that you stood aloof, on the day that strangers carried off his wealth and foreigners entered his gates and cast lots for Jerusalem, you were like one of them. 12 But do not gloat over the day of your brother in the day of his misfortune; do not rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their ruin; do not boast in the day of distress. 13 Do not enter the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; do not gloat over his disaster in the day of his calamity; do not loot his wealth in the day of his calamity. 14 Do not stand at the crossroads to cut off his fugitives; do not hand over his survivors in the day of distress. 15 For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you; your deeds shall return on your own head. 16 For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually; they shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been. 17 But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions. 18 The house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble; they shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau, for the Lord has spoken. 19 Those of the Negeb shall possess Mount Esau, and those of the Shephelah shall possess the land of the Philistines; they shall possess the land of Ephraim and the land of Samaria, and Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 20 The exiles of this host of the people of Israel shall possess the land of the Canaanites as far as Zarephath, and the exiles of Jerusalem who are in Sepharad shall possess the cities of the Negeb. 21 Saviors shall go up to Mount Zion to rule Mount Esau, and the kingdom shall be the Lord's.

Obadiah delivers a scorching rebuke against Edom—not merely for their violence, but for their passive indifference to the suffering of their brother, Israel. They stood aloof while injustice raged, and in doing so, became complicit in it. This message confronts us today: when we retreat behind walls of comfort, affluence, and emotional distance, we risk becoming like Edom—calloused, complicit, and under judgment. But God promises a great reversal where the oppressed and poor will be restored, vindicated, and even rule with Him. The gospel calls us not to climb away from the suffering but to enter in, to see ourselves in the faces of the vulnerable, and to participate—through compassion, justice, and long obedience—in God's redemptive plan. We must come out from our personal Petras and walk toward Mount Zion, where Christ reigns and restores the broken.

God has not forgotten Edom's perpetual enmity against the children of Jacob, nor has He forgotten the sons of Japheth who are part of peoples and places in last days' events. He has clearly laid out a series of breadcrumbs, which foretell of Edom's perpetual desolation in the second to last and final battles at the end of time, ending the war from generation to generation.

The descendants of Esau, known as Edom have provoked God's people throughout history.  Because of this, God declared war on them from generation to generation.  God kept His word on this throughout the Bible and in the end He will completely destroy them as depicted in Revelation.  We should be encouraged that God is faithful to perform His word in all things that He promises for His children.  VF-2056 Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

Should Christians be involved in politics? This is just one of the important topics our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, talks about as he wraps up the story of Edom's judgment with good news for us all.

Edom certainly was prideful! But even though Edom ceased to exist long ago, its message for us today is certainly clear. In this study, Dr. J. Vernon McGee warns us about the pride that can creep into our society, our churches, our homes, and of course within ourselves.

What are the dangers of pride and godless living? Edom is a terrific example. Find out how God reacts when men try to overthrow God and become deity themselves.

“A small book that packs a big punch.” That's how Dr. J. Vernon McGee describes Obadiah, the shortest book in the Old Testament. In this first study, we'll learn more about the prophet and the important message he had for Edom.
