Dipping into the book of Obadiah
The historical relationship between Esau and Jacob was an uneasy one. This is reflected in today’s uneasy and often violent confrontations and assaults by both the Israelis and the Palestinians and other Middle Eastern peoples. How does God feel about this rivalry among people who are mostly related through Abraham? Does He still hold people accountable for breaking the brotherhood? Or do these ties no longer matter? What about all those who follow in Edom’s footsteps? These and more are what we will discover from the book of Obadiah.
