	Obadiah, Book of - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		The unity of Obadiah was first challenged by Eichhorn in 1824, 1:17-21 being regarded by him as an appendix attached to the original exilic prophecy in the time of Alexander Janneus (104-78 BC).
		But it is remarkable, on this hypothesis, that no allusion is made either in Obadiah or Jeremiah 49:7-22 to the Chaldeans or to the destruction of the temple or to the wholesale transportation of the inhabitants of Jerusalem to Babylonia.
		Pusey indeed argues from the use of the form of the direct prohibition in Obadiah 1:12-14 that Edom had not yet committed the sins against which the prophet warns him, and so Jerusalem was not yet destroyed, when Obadiah wrote.

	Obadiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		According to the Talmud, Obadiah was a proselyte of Edomite origin (Tracate Sanhedrin 39b), and is said to have been a descendant of Eliphaz, the friend of Job.
		Obadiah is supposed to have received the gift of prophecy for having hidden the hundred prophets from the persecution of Jezebel.
		Obadiah's fear of God was one degree higher than that of Abraham; and if the house of Ahab had been capable of being blessed, it would have been blessed for Obadiah's sake (Sanh.

	Book of Obadiah - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Obadiah is classified as a "minor prophet" in the Christian Bible due to the brevity of the writing (only 21 verses) and the content (prophetic material).
		The earlier period would place Obadiah as a contemporary of the prophet Elisha, and the later would place Obadiah as a contemporary of the prophet Jeremiah, both of whom were prophets in the respective time periods.
		One can therefore expect that Obadiah's purpose was to make it known that according to his God, Yahweh, if members of the same family were to treat each other in the same manner as Edom treated the Israelites, they too may be subject to the wrath of God.

	Commentary on Obadiah
		Obadiah accuses Edom of "violence against your brother Jacob." (v 10) This is not an isolated incident of violence, but systematic, repetitive, unrelenting violence.
		Obadiah's repetitive emphasis on "the day of their disaster", "day of their calamity", "day of their destruction", "day of their trouble", "day of their misfortune", "day of their ruin", "day of their anguish", does seem evocative of the Holocaust.
		The utter annihilation of Edom visualized to Obadiah was such a shock to the prophet that when writing it down, overcome with the trauma, he interrupted himself to interject "Oh, what a disaster awaits you!" (v 5) Edom would be betrayed by allies, despised by the world, covered with shame, ransacked, pillaged, obliterated.

	OBADIAH: DEATH TO EDOM!
		Obadiah, the shortest book in the Old Testament, is the pronouncement of doom against an ancient and long-forgotten nation, the land of Edom.
		The book of Obadiah tells the story of two nations, the nation of Israel and the nation of Edom, the country to the south of Israel that is now usually referred to as the Negev or Negeb.
		Obadiah turns the spotlight first on Esau, who is the man of the flesh, and Edom, the proud nation that came from the flesh, and he answers the question "Why does God hate Esau?" The trouble with Esau, the prophet says, is this (verse 3):

	Bible Survey: The Book of Obadiah
		Virtually nothing is known about Obadiah; even the date of writing is obscure, though two dates dominate the discussion.
		Most scholars consider the calamity Obadiah describes in 11-14 is the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 587-586 BC.
		Since some of the additional material in Jeremiah is characteristic of that prophet, and since the order is more natural in Obadiah, it is likely that the latter is closer in form to the original prophesy.

	Obadiah - Judgment Against Israel’s Brother
		Obadiah says that the judgment coming upon Edom will be far worse than what happens when robbers come and steal, because they usually stop when they have enough.
		Obadiah 1:1-9 is paralleled remarkably in Jeremiah 49:7-22, so Jeremiah probably had Obadiah’s prophecy before him as he wrote and ministered.
		Obadiah tells all God’s people: “Don’t worry about those who ignore your need, those who rejoice at your problems, those who take advantage of your crises, those join their hands with others in attacking you.

	OBADIAH, NRSV HEBREW BIBLE (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Obadiah, the briefest book in the Hebrew Bible, is located between two eight-century prophets, Amos and Micah.
		Though Obadiah contains no date formula, on the basis of its allusion to the fall of Jerusalem (586 BCE), it probably stems from the first half of the sixth century.
		Indeed, as indicated in the notes to the book in the Oxford Annotated editions, Obadiah's words of judgment bear striking similarities to this larger corpus of prophetic oracles against Edom.

		One night, when Obadiah was only a child, his father returned to the hotel room where they were staying, having just won a great deal of money gambling.
		Later, Obadiah decided that his father had realized that the world was his opponent against which he could not succeed, and had therefore intentionally committed suicide.
		Obadiah believed that life was itself a game, at which his father had lost; Obadiah determined that he himself would never lose at anything.

	MyJewishLearning.com - Texts: The Second Wave: Zephaniah, Nahum, Habakkuk, Obadiah
		The message of Obadiah, the shortest book in the Hebrew Bible, is again more in line with Isaiah and Nahum, in that he believed fervently in the survival of a righteous remnant in Jerusalem‑‑one that would become the nucleus of a new and powerful people in a restored Zion (verses 17‑18).
		The historical context of this prophecy appears to have been the aftermath of Jerusalem's destruction by Babylon, in 586 (see verse 11), when the Edomites to the south took advantage of the plight of their "brother Jacob" and mistreated him (verses 10‑14).
		Obadiah is vehement about the ruin that will befall the Edomites because of this (vv.

	EAGLE EDOM WILL COME DOWN - (Obadiah) - John Piper
		Obadiah and his people knew that their own distress and calamity were deserved.
		But, in typical prophetic perspective, Obadiah does not distinguish between the more immediate historical judgments of God upon Edom and the final day of judgment at the end of the age.
		Since Judah had recently been driven into exile for her unbelief, and since judgment was coming upon Edom and the nations because of their pride and violence, we must assume that the people who escape God's judgment are those who humble themselves and trust God for his mercy (as Habakkuk 2:4 said).

		The most compelling argument is not the historical events, however, as much as the similar themes and quotations between Obadiah and Jeremiah, giving credence to the thought that they were contemporaries.
		If Obadiah is quoting Jeremiah that would put the date of Obadiah after the exile, giving credence to the third date.
		Although Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament with only 21 verses, the prophecy against Edom encompasses many of the themes found throughout the prophetic books [2]:

		Now we've already been there, for in the past weeks we looked at the book of Habbakuk, and for seven studies we looked at how this nation of Judah was taken from their homeland, from their home city of Jerusalem, they were taken as captives away to Babylon for seventy years captivity in that place.
		And Obadiah verse 2 says this: 'Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen' - pride is a sin that is found in the smallest creature that you could imagine.
		And Obadiah says to the Edomites, 'You're small, and I as the Almighty God have made you small, yet in all your smallness, in all your insignificance you are so full of pride'.

		This would place Obadiah in the 6th century B.C.E. instead of the 8th century B.C.E. The Midrashic rabbis read Edom to refer to the Rome and the Romans to be the children of Esau.
		Since most of Obadiah's prophecy has to do with the destruction of Edom and the children of Isaac overcoming the children of Esau, it would make sense for Obadiah to have been speaking at the time of the Roman invasion.
		Obadiah would then be speaking very late (maybe even contemporary with Malachi).

	Biblical Personalities: Obadiah (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-29)
		Said the Holy One, Blessed is He, “Let Obadiah, who dwelt among two wicked people, Ahab and Jezebel, but did not learn from their bad deeds, come and prophesy about Esau, who dwelt among two righteous people, Isaac and Rebecca, but did not learn from their good deeds” (Sanhedrin 39b).
		Now Obadiah feared the Lord greatly; for it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the Lord, that Obadiah took a hundred prophets, and hid them fifty in a cave, and fed them with bread and water” (I Kings 18:3-4).
		The progenitor of this archenemy of Israel was Esau, and since the rabbis view Obadiah as a descendant of Esau as well as a proselyte, this prophet would prove his mettle with an explicit vision of Esau’s future.

		Obadiah's version is a bit wordier perhaps, but both either draw on the same tradition, or Obadiah borrowed from Jeremiah.
