Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament. And, apart from 2 and 3 John, the shortest in the Bible. This short and challenging book gives us some insights and perspectives on understanding YHWH\u2019s dealings with the nations. The long-term repercussions of the sibling rivalry between Jacob and Esau and their descendants provides the backdrop. It also holds out the promise of YHWH\u2019s restoration of His people. Let\u2019s learn more about how the kingdom, power, and glory belongs to YHWH with this summary from the Zondervan Exegetical Commentary<\/a> on Obadiah<\/a> by Old Testament series editor Daniel I. Block.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dominion Belongs to YHWH<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The theological significance of the book of Obadiah extends far beyond its witness to Edom\u2019s place in history and their role as representatives of fundamental human depravity. This book offers a full-orbed vision of YHWH, climaxing in the final statement, \u201cThe dominion will belong to YHWH.\u201d But what does this book tell us about the reign of YHWH and about the character of this king?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YHWH\u2019s Messengers<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obadiah declares that YHWH announces his reign through authorized messengers. The book opens with a report of an envoy from the court of YHWH calling on the nations to rise up in battle against Edom, to which they willingly respond (v. 1<\/a>). But Obadiah himself is one of these envoys who has access to the counsel of YHWH. In Deut 18:15-22<\/a> Moses had identified three features that would mark the badge of true prophets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prophets Like Moses<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

(1) They would be prophets after the order of Moses, into whose mouth YHWH would put his words and who would then speak for him (18:18<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prophets Spoke for YHWH<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

(2) They would speak in the name of YHWH, which meant that to reject their word was to reject YHWH. Of course, these first two features could easily be forged. Jeremiah and Ezekiel spoke of self-inspired false prophets who claimed to run and speak for YHWH, but the visions they declared arose from their own imaginations (Jer 23:16-40<\/a>; Ezek. 13:1-7<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

By contrast, true prophets stand in the council of YHWH (\u02bf\u0101mad b\u0115s\u00f4d yhwh<\/em>) to hear the words they are to proclaim and to be commissioned to proclaim them (Jer 23:18<\/a>, 22<\/a>). Just as an earthly monarch would authorize trusted counselors to stamp official documents with his seal, so YHWH puts into true prophets\u2019 mouths the verbal seals. Only he could authorize anyone to use the prophetic formulas that we find in Obadiah (vv. 1b, 4d, 8b, 18g<\/a>). The four occurrences of these formulas confirm Obadiah\u2019s status as a man carried along by the Holy Spirit and authorized to speak for God (2 Pet. 1:21<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prophets Predicted Future Events<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

(3) According to Deut 18:15-22<\/a>, the third mark of true prophets was fulfilled predictions. YHWH\u2019s ability to predict events in the distant future and then to fulfill those prognostications distinguished him from all other gods (Isa 46:8-11<\/a>). It did not take long for Obadiah\u2019s prophecies concerning Edom to transpire. The chronicles of Nabonidus suggest that the announced judgment on Edom was fulfilled in 553 BC, when the Babylonian king conquered Edom. Although the Idumeans of Jesus\u2019 day may have had some Edomite blood coursing through their veins, after the sixth century Edom as a nation ceased to exist. And unlike the sons of Jacob, the nation has never been resurrected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The beginning of the fulfillment of Obadiah\u2019s promised restoration of Israel and Zion followed soon thereafter. It was satisfied in small measure when Cyrus issued a decree in 538 BC that the exiles in Babylon could return to Jerusalem and rebuild the temple (2 Chr 36:22-23<\/a>; Ezra 1:1-4<\/a>). However, this never became the wholesale restoration envisioned by other prophets like Ezekiel in Ezek 34\u201348.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) Although 50,000 returned from exile (Ezra 2<\/a>), this was a small fraction of the descendants of the twelve tribes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) Although the Jews returned to the Promised Land, they occupied only a small region around Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(3) Although they rebuilt the temple, it was an unimpressive project, and in any case the glory of YHWH never returned (Hag 1\u20132<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(4) Although Zerubbabel, a Davidide, had been granted some authority in Jerusalem, he was only a governor, still under the suzerainty of Persia. But the restoration of 538 BC represented a down payment of the ultimate restoration and a reminder that YHWH had not forgotten his ancient covenant commitments to Abraham and his descendants.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YHWH Keeps His Promises<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obadiah\u2019s vision of Jacob\u2019s restoration reiterates what he must have known from Isaiah, Jeremiah, and Ezekiel. However, its roots are in Pentateuchal promises, most notably in YHWH\u2019s own promise of restoration after judgment in Lev 26:40-45<\/a>, in Moses\u2019 reiteration and development of this theme in Deut 4:30-31<\/a>; 30:1-10<\/a>, and in the clear declaration in Israel\u2019s national anthem, Deut 32:34-43<\/a>. In the end YHWH\u2019s memory of his irrevocable commitment to Israel and his compassion for his people would triumph (4:30-31<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YHWH Exalts and Humbles<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Obadiah demonstrates YHWH\u2019s kingship by bringing down the high and exalting the low. Some modern readers who do not take into account the background to the book find offense in Obadiah\u2019s strong ethnic focus and his announcement of the elimination of an entire population. Some say this looks like divinely sanctioned and divinely inflicted genocide. To this we may offer three responses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(1) The Edomites here are individuals, members of a family. They have collectively violated their brother when they should have protected him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(2) The violence toward Jacob was only one manifestation of an overweening pride. Like Adam\u2019s arrogant act of rebellion in Gen 3<\/a>, so the sons of Esau\u2019s actions called for their punishment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

(3) This treatment of Edom is consistent with YHWH\u2019s response to others who stood in opposition to him. In Deut 7\u20138<\/a> Moses had declared that if the Israelites would forget their God and behave like Canaanites, they too would experience this fate \u2014 which they eventually had at the hands of the Babylonians in 586 BC. The demise of Edom is not merely the consequence of a capricious and violent God\u2019s anger; it is his response to evil, a notion few modern readers understand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hannah and Mary<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

YHWH\u2019s response to Edom concretizes the image that Hannah had expressed so eloquently centuries earlier in her oracular prayer (1 Sam 2:1-10<\/a>) and that Mary would echo centuries later in her Magnificat (Luke 1:46-55<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ezekiel and Isaiah<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Closer to Obadiah\u2019s time, Ezekiel had summarized the same principle in Ezek. 17:24<\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I bring down the tall tree;<\/p>

and exalt the low tree.<\/p>

I cause the green tree to wither,<\/p>

and make the withered tree thrive.<\/p>

I am YHWH. I have spoken;<\/p>

and I will perform.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Ezekiel also offered a concrete illustration of the principle in his oracles against Tyre in 28:1-19<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

12 How you are fallen from heaven,<\/p>

O Day Star, son of Dawn!<\/p>

How you are cut down to the ground,<\/p>

you who laid the nations low!<\/p>

13 You said in your heart,<\/p>

\u201cI will ascend to heaven;<\/p>

I will raise my throne<\/p>

above the stars of God;<\/p>

I will sit on the mount of assembly<\/p>

on the heights of Zaphon;<\/p>

14 I will ascend to the tops of the clouds,<\/p>

I will make myself like the Most High.\u201d<\/p>

15 But you are brought down to Sheol,<\/p>

to the depths of the Pit.<\/p>Isaiah 14:12-15<\/a><\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Although Obadiah shows some influence from Ezekiel, his characterization of Edom\u2019s overweening pride as smugness of heart and setting his nest among the stars links this passage particularly with Isaiah\u2019s portrayal of the star of the morning in Isa 14:12-15<\/a>. Adapting this theme, and borrowing heavily from Jeremiah, as we have noted in the commentary, Obadiah speaks of YHWH\u2019s making Esau small among the nations (Obad 2<\/a>), responding to his arrogance and smugness by bringing this one who claims to live among the stars back down to earth (vv. 3\u20134<\/a>).<\/p>\n\n\n\n
