Today: [Obadiah] You Will Possess Your Possessions! In Obadiah we see the people of Edom brought to judgment for their warfare against the southern kingdom. The name Edom means “Red man” the same as the name “Adam”, therefore we understand it as a prophetic foretelling of the ultimate end of godless humanity who shake their fist in the face of God, rejecting His rule. Yet, by contrast as Edom is condemned, at the same time the people are God are said to possess their possessions and to come into the rule and reign of the earth as promised apocalyptically throughout the word of God.
