Obadiah wrote the short-est book in the Old Testa-ment, but it doesn’t always require a lot of words to make God’s point. God had a message for the people of Edom. They were cousins of the Israelites, yet when Jerusalem was destroyed by enemies, the Edomites par-ticipated in the looting of the city. They thought they got away with it because Israel was in no condition to retali-ate. Yet God was watching. The Edomites would suffer judgment because of the unprovoked attack on their relatives. Then Obadiah makes this statement, “For the day of the Lord draws near on all the nations. As you have done, it will be done to you. Your dealings will return on your own head.” To me, this says that God is

Minister’s Corner not just the God of Israel, or just the God of Christians, but that He is God of all the nations, He is the God of the whole world. And just as God is proclaiming Him-self over the nations, God will also hold each nation accountable for their actions. Jeremiah quoted God as saying this, “If I announce that a certain nation or king-dom is to be uprooted, torn down, and destroyed, but then that nation renounces its evil ways, I will not destroy it as I had planned. And if I announce that I will build up and plant a certain nation or kingdom, making it strong and great, but then that nation turns to evil and refuses to obey me, I will not bless that nation as I had said I would.” You may not be able to change the direc-tion of a nation, but you can change your own direction in honoring God and seek-ing Him, looking to Jesus Christ for forgiveness. In that way you can avoid your own judgment from God.
