| | Book of Obadiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Obadiah is classified as a "minor prophet" in the Christian Bible due to the brevity of the writing (only 21 verses) and the content (prophetic material). | | | The Book of Obadiah is found in both the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament of the Christian Bible, where it is the shortest book. | | | The earlier period would place Obadiah as a contemporary of the prophet Elisha, and the later would place Obadiah as a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah, both of whom were prophets in the respective time periods. |

| | Obadiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | Obadiah (עֹבַדְיָה "Servant of the LORD", Standard Hebrew ʿOvadya, Tiberian Hebrew ʿŌḇaḏyāh, Vulgate Abdias) is the name of many people mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, the Old Testament. | | | Obadiah's fear of God was one degree higher than that of Abraham; and if the house of Ahab had been capable of being blessed, it would have been blessed for Obadiah's sake (Sanh. | | | Amid a climate of spiritual degeneracy, Obadiah maintained his fidelity to God, and interposed to protect God's prophets, an hundred of whom he hid at great personal risk in a cave (4, 13). |

| | Commentary on Obadiah |
| | 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 prophetic book of Obadiah, though shortest in the Hebrew portion of the Bible, is no slouch in robust impact. |

| | Obadiah |
| | Obadiah "servant of Yahweh." The name occurs on ancient Hebrew seals and on the Samaria ostraca. | | | He is possibly identical with Obadiah, 12 -- Seventh-day Adventist Bible Dictionary. | | | He saved the lives of 100 prophets by hiding them in 2 groups of 50 each in caves (1 Ki 18:3, 4). |

| | Obadiah is the shortest Old Testament book (21 verses). | | | In part two, verses 17-21, Obadiah assures the people of Judah that on the day of the Lord there will be hope for those in Zion. | | | And not only is the people of God larger than Obadiah foresaw, but the fulfillment of the promised land is bigger. |

| | OBADIAH: DEATH TO EDOM! |
| | Obadiah turns the spotlight first on Esau, who is the man of the flesh, and Edom, the proud nation that came from the flesh, and he answers the question "Why does God hate Esau?" The trouble with Esau, the prophet says, is this (verse 3): | | | The book of Obadiah tells the story of two nations, the nation of Israel and the nation of Edom, the country to the south of Israel that is now usually referred to as the Negev or Negeb. | | | The name Obadiah means "the servant of Jehovah;" he fulfills the position of a servant. |

| | Obadiah the Proselyte |
| | A different "Obadiah the Proselyte," who lived somewhat later, was the recipiant of a famous responsum by Maimonides. | | | The Jews of the time, no doubt sensing that the war between the Christians and the Muslims must have cosmic significance, placed their complete faith in these pretenders, and after the hoped-for redemption failed to materialize they became a laughingstock to their Muslim neighbours. | | | Whether in Baghdad or Damascus, Israel or Egypt, the new convert was invariably welcomed by the local Jews, who would give him food, shelter and religious schooling, in spite of the difficult circumstances to which they were subjected. |

| | Book of Obadiah |
| | The Book of Obadiah is the fourth book of the Twelve Minor Prophets in the Old Testament of the Bible. | | | Obadiah ("servant of the Lord") is particularly vehement toward the Edomites, long - standing enemies of Israel who cooperated with the Babylonian conquerors. | | | Amid great spiritual degeneracy he maintained his fidelity to God, and interposed to protect The Lord's prophets, an hundred of whom he hid at great personal risk in a cave (4, 13). |

| | So Obadiah comes as God's messenger with God's message, and his first thing that he says to them is this: that God has trouble for Esau. | | | And Obadiah says to the Edomites, 'You're small, and I as the Almighty God have made you small, yet in all your smallness, in all your insignificance you are so full of pride'. | | | You see there is a spiritual message within the book of Obadiah. |

| | Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly; for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water” (I Kings 18:3-4). | | | The progenitor of this archenemy of Israel was Esau, and since the rabbis view Obadiah as a descendant of Esau as well as a proselyte, this prophet would prove his mettle with an explicit vision of Esau’s future. | | | Said the Holy One, Blessed is He, “Let Obadiah, who dwelt among two wicked people, Ahab and Jezebel, but did not learn from their bad deeds, come and prophesy about Esau, who dwelt among two righteous people, Isaac and Rebecca, but did not learn from their good deeds” (Sanhedrin 39b). |

| | In addition to being the shortest book in the OT, Obadiah also "bears the distinction of being the most difficult of all the prophecies to date" (Gleason Archer). | | | The name Obadiah means "Servant of Yahweh" (literally -- "One who serves or worships Jehovah"). | | | "It is the violation of these ties that occasion both Obadiah's denunciation of Edom and the necessity for Judah's restoration" (Expositor's Bible Commentary). |

| | Now our Prophet shows at the end that God would become the avenger of this cruelty, which the Idumeans had exercised; for though he chastised his own people, he did not yet forget his gratuitous covenant. | | | This Prophecy does not consist of many oracles, nor of many sermons, as other prophecies; but it only denounces on the Idumeans a near destruction, and then promises a restoration to the chosen people of God. | | | The Holy Spirit could, no doubt, have expressed the same things in different words; but he was pleased to join together these two testimonies, that they might obtain more credit. |

| | MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: The Second Wave: Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Obadiah |
| | The message of Obadiah, the shortest book in the Hebrew Bible, is again more in line with Isaiah and Nahum, in that he believed fervently in the survival of a righteous remnant in Jerusalem‑‑one that would become the nucleus of a new and powerful people in a restored Zion (verses 17‑18). | | | The historical context of this prophecy appears to have been the aftermath of Jerusalem's destruction by Babylon, in 586 (see verse 11), when the Edomites to the south took advantage of the plight of their "brother Jacob" and mistreated him (verses 10‑14). | | | They struggled to reconcile the words of "First Wave" prophets like Amos and Isaiah to the crises of the following century. |

| | OBADIAH, NRSV HEBREW BIBLE |
| | It seems that thematic considerations govern its placement following Amos: The subject of Obadiah, divine judgment against the Edomites, can be associated with Am 9.12; the "Day of the Lord" is a central idea for both books. | | | In a book of only twenty-one verses, it is difficult and, perhaps, unnecessary to isolate subsections. | | | Indeed, as indicated in the notes to the book in the Oxford Annotated editions, Obadiah's words of judgment bear striking similarities to this larger corpus of prophetic oracles against Edom. |

The Midrashic rabbis read Edom to refer to the Rome and the Romans to be the children of Esau. | | | Since most of Obadiah's prophecy has to do with the destruction of Edom and the children of Isaac overcoming the children of Esau, it would make sense for Obadiah to have been speaking at the time of the Roman invasion. |
