Obadiah 21

There is deliverance and salvation in the Body of Christ. There will be holiness in His house.

These were Obadiah’s last words against all human arrogance, pride, and rebellion. Edom had thought itself indestructible; but the Lord humbled that nation and restored the fallen Judah. Many people are tempted to consider themselves beyond the reach of God. But God will bring them low, just as He will lift those who humble themselves before Him. 

And one great day, He will establish His just rule over all.

holiness |ˈhōlēnəs|

noun

the state of being holy: a life of holiness and total devotion to God.

The Book of Obadiah is one of only two minor prophets that is addressed entirely to a nation other than Israel or Judah. It deals with the ancient feud between Israel and the nation of Edom, between the descendants of Jacob and those of his brother Esau. Through the prophet Obadiah, the Lord expressed His indignation at the nation of Edom. When they should have been helping their relatives, they were gloating over the Israelites’ problems and raiding their homes. A day was coming—the day of the Lord—when all these wrongs would be righted. 

The Lord would bring justice to the world.
