AUTHOR

The Holy Spirit of God by inspiration (2 Timothy 3:16) through Obadiah

DATE WRITTEN 6th Century B.C.

(John Phillips Exploring The Scriptures):

The essential message of the book of Obadiah is that antisemitism eventually brings God’s judgment.

Nations that curse and persecute Jews will reap what they sow. They are attacking a people with whom God has a long-standing, unconditional, and irrevocable treaty (Genesis 12:1–3).

Conversely, nations that harbor and protect Jews will enjoy God’s blessing.
