Obadiah & “The Day of the Lord” The End Time Battle Between Edom & Israel

The ancient Edomites formed an unholy alliance with the Palestinians & the Arabians To destroy Israel & the Jews We need to know who “Edom” is because it will happen again! The shortest O.T Book * Foretells Israel’s Future…. * Describes God’s Judgment…. for Irrational Hatred of Jews & * Declares Israel’s eternal destiny Obadiah BC “God’s Servant & Worshipper

Obadiah announces God’s End Time judgment against Israel’s twin brother Esau – known here as Edom. God accuses Edom of violence against his brother Jacob….not just one event, but systematic, unrelenting, escalating VIOLENCE against ISRAEL. This indictment included Edom’s physical & spiritual descendants for their cruel, sadistic, and horrific crimes against family bloodlines in Genesis….all the way until now. Who are these modern day Edomites? The Arab Palestinians Under Islam

God’s Wrath is over repeated attempts to dispossess His People, the Jews from His Land, Israel & specifically His Holy Mountain in Jerusalem, the Temple Mount. History records Babylon’s Invasion of Israel and the destruction of the Temple in 586 BC. Then the Roman Invasion of Israel and Temple destruction in 70AD. In modern times, Islam has seized the Temple Mount and built the Dome of the Rock & Al Asqa Mosque in its place

The Coming Battle Between The Jews & The Palestinians

The Vision of Obadiah 1.Thus says the Lord concerning EDOM ‘We have heard a rumor from the Lord & an ambassador has been sent among the heathen nations saying, Arise & let us go against her for battle’ 2. Behold, I will make you small among the nations: you are greatly despised. 3. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that says in his heart, who shall bring me down to the earth? Where and Who is Edom?

5 If thieves came to you, if robbers by night ( how you are cut off!) Won’t they steal until they have enough. If grape-gatherers come to you, will they not leave some grapes? 6. How are the things of Esau searched out - his hidden things sought out. Palestinans throw rocks at Jewish settlers working in the vineyards

7. “All the men of your confederacy have brought you even to the border: the men that were at peace with you have deceived you, and prevailed against you; those that eat your bread have laid a wound under you: there is no understanding in him.

8.“ Shall I not in That Day, says the Lord, even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understand out of the Mt. of Edom? 9. And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the Mt. (kingdom) of Esau shall be cut off by slaughter.

10. “For your violence against your brother Jacob Shame shall cover you And you shall be cut off forever! Violence in Hebrew is Hamas

11. “In the day that you stood on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces & foreigners entered into his gates & cast lots upon Jerusalem, even YOU were one of them.” Joel 3:3 Nahum 3:10

12.”But you should not have looked on the day of your brother in the day that he became a stranger; neither should you have rejoiced over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction. 13. You should not have entered into the gate of My people in he day of their calamity; yes, you should not have looked on their affliction in the day of their calamity, NOR have laid hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.”

14. “Neither should you have stood in the crossway to cut off those of his that escaped; nor should you have delivered up those of his that remained in the day of distress.” Arab Revolts Hitler & Hajj Amin al-Husseini Nazis & Islam Killing the Jews

15.“For the Day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as you have done, it shall be done to you: your reward shall return upon your own head. 16.For as you have drunk on My holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yes they shall drink and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.”

17. “But upon Mt. Zion shall be deliverance and there shall be holiness, and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions. 18. And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble. They shall kindle in them & devour them; & there shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau; for the Lord has spoken it.”

19. “And they of the south shall possess the Mount of Esau; & they of the plain shall possess the fields of Ephraim, & the fields of Samaria: & Benjamin shall possess Gilead. 20. And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel shall possess that of the Canaanites, even unto Zarphath: & the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the south.”

21. “And the Savior shall come up on Mt. Zion to judge the Mt. of Esau; and the Kingdom shall be the Lord’s.”

Who & Where is Edom? Genesis 25 & 32 & 36 Exodus 15:15 Numbers 20:14-23; 24:18 Joshua 15: 1,21; Judges 5:4; 11: Sam. 14:47; 2 Sam 8:14; 1Kings 11: Kings 8:22; 14:7; 1 Chron. 1 Psalms 60:8-9, 83:6; 108:9-10; 137:7; Isaiah 11:14, 63:1; Jeremiah 9 Lamentations 4 Ezekiel 25 & 32 Daniel 11:41 Joel 3:19 Amos 1 & 2 & 9 Obadiah Malachi 1:4

It all starts in Genesis 16 With Abraham & Sarai To Understand the End... We Have to Know the Beginning!

Now Sarai Abram’s wife bore him no children: & she had a handmaid, an Egyptian called Hagar. And Sarai said to Abram, Behold now, the Lord has restrained me from bearing; I pray you, go into my maid; it may be that I may obtain children by her. Genesis 16:1-4 And Abram harkened to the voice of Sarai. And Sarai took Hagar her maid, the Egyptian, after Abram had dwelt 10 years in Canaan & gave her to her husband Abram to be his wife. And He went into Hagar & she conceived; & when she saw that she had conceived Her mistress was despised in her eyes. Sarai said to Abram, ‘My wrong is upon you: I gave my maid to your bosom & when she saw that she conceived, I was despised in her eyes. God Promised to Make Abram a Great Nation Sarai blames Abram …He puts Sarai in charge of Hagar

And God said to Abraham ‘As for Sarai, your wife, you shall not call her name Sarai, but Sarah shall her name be. I will bless her, & give you a son & she shall be the mother of nations; kings of people shall be of her.’ Genesis 15: Then Abraham fell on his face & laughed & said in his heart, Shall a child be born to him that is 100 years old? Shall Sarah who is 90 years old, bare?

And the Lord visited Sarah as He said & the Lord did unto Sarah as He had spoken. For Sarah conceived and bare Abraham a son in his old age, at the set time which God had spoken to him. And Abraham called his son Isaac And Abraham circumcized him at 8 days as God commanded him. And Abraham was 100 years old. Genesis 21: 1 – 5 And God said, ‘Sarah your wife shall bear you a son indeed & you shall call his name Isaac. I will establish My covenant with him for an everlasting covenant & with his seed after him.’ Genesis 17:19 The Son of the Covenant

And the child grew and was weaned & Abraham made a great feast the same day. And Sarah saw the son of Hagar, the Egyptian, which she had born to Abraham, mocking. So she said to Abraham, ‘Cast out this bondwoman & her son: for the son of the bondwoman shall not be heir with my son, even with Isaac. Genesis 21:8-11 And the thing was very grievous with Abraham because of his son Ishmael God said to him, ‘Let it not be grievous in your sight because of the lad & be of your bondwoman; in all that Sarah has said to you, listen to her voice, for in Isaac shall your seed be called. God calls Isaac Araham’s only Son! More Ancient Family History

And Sarai dealt harshly with Hagar and she fled from her face. And the Angel of the Lord found her by a fountain of water in the wilderness & told her to return & submit to Sarai. The Angel also tells her she will name her son Ishmael & “he will be a wild man. His hand will be against every man & every man‘s hand against him Ishmael will dwell in the presence of his brothers.” Genesis.16:11-12 Ishmael is the Son Born of the Flesh Ishmael is the Son Born of the Flesh

Galatians 4:22-26 For it is written: that Abraham had 2 sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was after the flesh: but he of the freewoman was by promise. Which things are an allegory: for these are 2 covenants: one from Mt. Sinai, which lends to slavery which is Hagar. For Hagar is Mt. Sinai in Arabia and answers to Jerusalem which now is, & is in bondage with her children. But Jerusalem which is above is FREE, which is the mother of us all.

For it is written, Rejoice you barren that bare not; break forth & cry, you that travail not; for the desolate has many more children than she which has a husband. Israel Now we brethren are the children of the promise But as he that was born after the flesh persecuted him that was born after the Spirit, even so it is now. What says the scripture? ’Cast out the bondwoman & her son: for the bondwoman’s son won’t inherit with the son of the freewoman. Israel’s Husband is God – He will cast out Islam As Christians Arabs hate the Jews

Abraham – God’s man joined himself to Hagar (Egypt=the World) producing Ishmael, the wild son of the flesh. Then Abraham went into Sarah (God’s appointed woman) at God’s appointed time (25 years after the Promise made to Abraham) & by God’s supernatural grace ( Sarah is too old to bare a child) Isaac is born, the son of the Spirit of God. Ishmael - Arabs – Islam Slavery Isaac – (Jacob) Israel – Messiah = Freedom The Final Battle is over Covenant

The Ancient War between 2 brothers Will Become the Final War Between Israel & the Arabs

Edom The Battle in the Middle East is Simple: An irrational hatred exists between bloodlines from the beginning…in Genesis Abraham had 2 sons - Ishmael and Isaac God chose Isaac as His Covenant partner. Isaac had 2 sons - Esau and Jacob God chose Jacob as His Covenant partner. Ishmael ‘s family intermarried with Esau’s family. Irrational hatred between these bloodlines increased over 6000 years!
