Obadiah
Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, yet a powerful prophecy that focuses solely on the judgment against Edom for their violence and betrayal against Israel. It is likely written after the fall of Jerusalem in 586 BCE, when Edom rejoiced at Israel's downfall and even participated in the destruction when Nebuchadnezzar II took siege of Jerusalem removed the King of Judah, and installed his puppet ruler. The Edomites helped the Babylonians loot the city. Obadiah's message emphasizes God's judgment against their prideful and violent, warning of their impending destruction. It also offers hope for the restoration of Israel and the establishment of God's kingdom on earth. Obadiah is presented here by the Audio Bible channel without music or drama, just a pure reading of the scripture as written, along with scrolling text for an engaging experience so you may read, study, and absorb.
