| | A Commentary on Obadiah |
| | The prophetic book of Obadiah, though the shortest in the Hebrew portion of the Bible, is no slouch in robust impact. | | | Obadiah's repetitive emphasis on "the day of their disaster", "day of their calamity", "day of their destruction", "day of their trouble", "day of their misfortune", "day of their ruin", "day of their anguish", does seem evocative of the Holocaust. | | | Obadiah is a book of recompense and deliverance, ending with "the Kingdom will be the Lord's". |

| | The Book of Obadiah is the first book of the Back of the Bible and, thankfully, also the shortest. | | | The Book of Zephaniah manages to stretch "God's angry" to about 1600 words, for instance—a reader could walk away from it with the ability to describe the reasons for the Lord's displeasure, how many sausages He had for breakfast, and the cross-stitching pattern on His sandals during the killing. | | | One key difference between the Book of Obadiah and subsequent BotB books, however, is the target of God’s anger, which, in a surprising twist, isn’t the people of Judea (usually the go-to humans for the Lord's fury). |

| | Applying Obadiah |
| | The book of Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament and reveals nothing personal about the prophet. | | | The simple point that must be made, however, is this: the book of Obadiah was a prophecy, therefore, it was written sometime before the destruction of Edom. | | | Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction in the day of their calamity, nor laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity. |

The trouble with Esau, the prophet says, is this (verse 3): | | | So most Bible commentators believe the author of this book was a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah, the last of the prophets before Israel went into captivity. |

| | Consequently, it should be no surprise that the book of Obadiah, which originally served as a prophecy against the original nation of Edom for joining up with the Babylonians to destroy Jerusalem and the First Temple in 586 BCE, came to be seen as a prophecy regarding the nation of Rome. | | | In addition, once the Jewish tradition started to associate Edom and Esau with Rome, it became natural to see the book of Obadiah as a prophecy foreshadowing the downfall of this terrible and seemingly indestructible enemy. | | | This happened, in part, because the original prophecy ultimately came true and the nation of Edom disappeared as a separate entity soon after the destruction of the First Temple. |
