Obadiah

Obadiah delivers a message of judgment to Edom, Israel's neighbor, and descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother.  Though she considered herself a lofty power in the region, God would bring her down to an inconsequential position.  The punishment is coming because the nation failed to support Israel in her hour of crisis.  Instead of taking the opportunity to gain favor with the nation of Israel, Edom stood idly by while Israel was being plundered.  God would hold Edom accountable for all her actions - and when Israel is restored, Edom will have no part in the glory and blessings she enjoys.
