Obadiah 15-16 - The Day of the Lord
**Climax of Obadiah**
For the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations.
For the Day of the Lord
This expression is used to define the time of God’s intervention in history for divine judgment
“The Day of” was used 8x in Obadiah 11-14 to describe the destruction of Jacob
Now the Lord uses the same term to describe His day of judgment on Edom and all the nations
Near upon all the nations
1. near (not far) — not far distant in time, space, degree, or circumstances.
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
As you have done
It shall be done to you
Your deeds shall return on your own head.
Your deeds
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so all the nations shall drink continually;
Holy mountain
4. holiness (moral) — the quality of moral purity.
Cup of the Lord
They shall drink and swallow, and shall be as though they had never been.
Obadiah 17-18 - The Future of the Houses of Jacob & Esau
But in Mount Zion there shall be those who escape, and it shall be holy, and the house of Jacob shall possess their own possessions.
But in Mount Zion
The holiness of Yahweh, dwelling on Zion, stands as a guarantee of justice to God’s people, but equally of judgment on all the nations that live in violence and pride.
There shall be those who escape
2. fugitive — someone who flees from an uncongenial situation.
Holy
1. consecrated — devoted to service to the God of Israel or some religious ceremony or use.
The house of Jacob shall be fire, and the house of Joseph a flame,
Fire is used as a metaphor for the wrath of God
And the house of Esau stubble;
Stubble
1. chaff — the worthless husk material that surrounds the ripe seed of a plant.
They shall burn them and consume them, and there shall be no survivor for the house of Esau,
Shall burn them
Survivor
1. survivor — one who lives through affliction; sometimes referred to collectively as a remnant or group of survivors.
For the Lord has spoken.
The Lord
1. Yahweh — the name the God of Israel gives to the Israelites through Moses.
Theology in Action
Day of the Lord
God’s enemies (both Edom & the nations) will drink the cup of God’s wrath, but His people will be rescued on the day of the Lord
