The shortest book in the Old Testament — 21 verses aimed at a nation that celebrated when Jerusalem fell. Betrayal between brothers has consequences.
Overview
When Babylon destroyed Jerusalem, Edom (descendants of Esau, Jacob's brother) didn't just watch — they cheered, looted, and handed fleeing refugees back to the enemy. Obadiah pronounces God's judgment on a nation that betrayed its own family.
