2019-11-15 [오바댜(Obadiah) 1:1 - 1:9]

1	The vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard a report from the LORD, and a messenger has been sent among the nations: "Rise up! Let us rise against her for battle!"
2	Behold, I will make you small among the nations; you shall be utterly despised.
3	The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rock, in your lofty dwelling, who say in your heart, "Who will bring me down to the ground?"
4	Though you soar aloft like the eagle, though your nest is set among the stars, from there I will bring you down, declares the LORD.
5	If thieves came to you, if plunderers came by night-- how you have been destroyed!-- would they not steal only enough for themselves? If grape gatherers came to you, would they not leave gleanings?
6	How Esau has been pillaged, his treasures sought out!
7	All your allies have driven you to your border; those at peace with you have deceived you; they have prevailed against you; those who eat your bread have set a trap beneath you-- you have no understanding.
8	Will I not on that day, declares the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of Mount Esau?
9	And your mighty men shall be dismayed, O Teman, so that every man from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter.

2019-11-15 Obadiah hears a message from the Lord that they are to rise and go against Edom. What did Edom do that they are about to receive judgment?

이해하기(Understanding)
Edom is located southwest of Israel and they are descendants of Esau. They should technically be a sister nation since Jacob’s descendants make up the nation of Israel. However, because Jacob stole Esau’s blessings (Gen. 27:35-36), people of Edom never looked favorably at Israel. This is the reason why when the Israelites were roaming around in the wilderness, they did not let them through (Num. 20:14-21), and raided them (2 Chr. 20:11). They also took Israelites captives when northern Israel fell (Amos 1:9) and when southern Judah fell they handed the Israelites over to Babylon (Eze. 35:5). God sends Obadiah to deliver the message of judgment. Edom took pride in their fortress that stood tall up on a high rock, however, God planned to completely annihilate them. God mentions that he will take everything, more than a thief would ever take. He also promises that Edom’s allies will betray and deceive them. Edom was known to have many wise men and warriors but none of that will be effective against the Lord (v. 1-9).

적용하기(Applying)
Who is God?
people. Do you know of anyone who is being betrayed or deceived by his or her close ones? Trust that vengeance of your enemies is God’s and learn to focus on God’s plan to use the hardships you are going through to refine and make you shine.

What lesson is God teaching you?
Edom had many advantages: geographical, great wealth accumulated through trades, political alliances with foreign nations, a lot of knowledge and intelligence, and a strong military. However, all of these advantages and securities that they leaned on would be useless against God. What are some things you rely on before turning to God? Do you rely heavily on your own knowledge and ability like Edom?

기도하기(Praying)
Help me to remember what it says in Romans 12:19 and let there be only forgiveness and love in my life.
