Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Obadiah 1:1

DISCOURSE: 1197BLESSED EFFECTS OF THE GOSPEL IN THE LATTER DAYSObadiah 1:17. Upon Mount Zion shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.IT is curious to observe throughout the prophetic writings, that the richest promises relating to the Christian Church follow, and, I had almost said, arise out of, denunciations of vengeance against the enemies of God: the design of God being to display thereby, in a more abundant measure, the... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Obadiah 1:1-21

Tonight shall we turn now to Obadiah.Who Obadiah was, or where he came from, when he prophesied, nobody knows for sure. There have been a lot of guesses as to who Obadiah actually was, but they are all just guesses.It is amazing how much men can say whenever the Bible is silent on a subject. And it seems to just be a take-off place for guys to develop theories and to write theme papers or doctrinal dissertations on some area where the Bible is silent. But at best, when God's Word is silent, all... read more

Obadiah 1:1The vision of Obadiah.The Divine purpose in relation to humanityA voice thundering at midnight is the voice of Obadiah. It was the voice of a stranger. His age, his country, his parents, his cradle, his grave, are all unknown. Yet his was a prophet’s voice,--deep as the boom of thunder, and penetrating as the lightning it fell upon the fortressed host of Idumea, and destruction was in every shivering note. He had been standing on some high pinnacle, on which he hoard a “rumour from... read more

Obadiah 1:3-5The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee.PrideI. That the most despicable people are often the most disposed to pride. Edom is described as “greatly despised.” Small and disdainable as they were, they were nevertheless proud. Men of great intellect and lofty genius are characteristically humble. An old writer has observed that “where the river is the deepest the water glides the smoothest. Empty casks sound most; whereas well-fraught vessel silences its own sound. As the shadow... read more

Obadiah 1:6-9How are the things of Esau searched out! Hidden things searched outAll that any test or trial can do is to show what was in us already.In many places of the East there is the horrible disease called leprosy. When a man is feeling ill they have a curious way of discovering whether he has leprosy or not.
