Obadiah

[trianglecats]

Watched Ironman 1 again and

It always cracks me up when it’s where Obadiah steals Tony’s arc reactor and says, “This is your 9th symphony.”

Like it’s HILARIOUS!

But every time I think about it I always have to sit down and wonder if people know it’s a joke because usually when composers compose their 9th symphony they die (it’s called “the curse of the ninth”) and he thought Tony was going to die.

Am I just a classical music geek?

Obadiah 1:4 is GNARLY

[mybeautifulchristianjourney]

The Destruction of Edom (2 Chronicles 20:1-4)

1 The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning Edom: We have heard tidings from the LORD, and an ambassador is sent among the nations, saying, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.

2 Behold, I have made thee small among the nations: thou art greatly despised.

3 The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, O thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?

4 Though thou mount on high as the eagle, and though thy nest be set among the stars, I will bring thee down from thence, saith the LORD.

5 If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not steal till they had enough? if grapegatherers came to thee, would they not leave some gleaning grapes?

6 How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden treasures sought up!

7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee on thy way, even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread lay a snare under thee: there is none understanding in him.

8 Shall I not in that day, saith the LORD, destroy the wise men out of Edom, and understanding out of the mount of Esau?

9 And thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one may be cut off from the mount of Esau by slaughter.

10 For the violence done to thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever.

11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that strangers carried away his substance, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.

12 But look not thou on the day of thy brother in the day of his disaster, and rejoice not over the children of Judah in the day of their destruction; neither speak proudly in the day of distress.

13 Enter not into the gate of my people in the day of their calamity; yea, look not thou on their affliction in the day of their calamity, neither lay ye hands on their substance in the day of their calamity.

14 And stand thou not in the crossway, to cut off those of his that escape; and deliver not up those of his that remain in the day of distress.

The Deliverance of Israel

15 For the day of the LORD is near upon all the nations: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee; thy dealing shall return upon thine own head.

16 For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the nations drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and swallow down, and shall be as though they had not been.

17 But in mount Zion there shall be those that escape, and it shall be holy; and the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

18 And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall burn among them, and devour them: and there shall not be any remaining to the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken it.

19 And they of the South shall possess the mount of Esau; and they of the lowland the Philistines and they shall possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess Gilead.

20 And the captivity of this host of the children of Israel, which are among the Canaanites, shall possess even unto Zarephath; and the captivity of Jerusalem, which is in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South.

21 And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S. — Obadiah 1 | English Revised Version (ERVB) The English Revised Version of the Holy Bible, which is in the public domain.

Consequences Of Disobedience To God?

“The Lord said the following to the Edomites in the book of Obadiah. "All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads." I wonder what the consequences of disobedience to God look like. The people of Israel will be a raging fire and Edom a field of dry stubble. The descendants of Joseph will be a flame roaring across the field, devouring everything. There will be no survivors in Edom. I, the Lord, have spoken! Obadiah 1:18 One of my friends, a farmer, raises corn, soybeans, and some cattle, but his main crops are hay and straw. He spends his summer bailing them and filling at least two large barns. Straw, a very soft substance, is useful for bedding. Animals love it. And humans can lie on it comfortably because of its softness. One of the things it is not suitable for is burning. It burns very well, but it burns too fast. One second, it is here. The next, it is gone. It's hard to use as a fire starter because it doesn't burn long enough to ignite the kindling. Because of the low density of straw, the ashes blow away when it burns, leaving nothing behind.

The Consequences of Disobedience

That is precisely what God was saying about the house of Edom. They would burn up quickly and thoroughly, leaving absolutely nothing behind. Why would the Lord do such a thing to a nation who were close relatives to the Israelites? The answer was written earlier in this chapter. The Edomites not only refused to help the Israelites when they were taken into captivity, but they boasted and rejoiced because of it. Their decision resulted in disobedience to God. They then went into Israel and plundered the land, taking all of their wealth. In verse 15, the Lord says, "All your evil deeds will fall back on your own heads." The Lord says the same thing to us, only differently. Edom received judgment because of what they did. Now, in the New Testament, our judgment comes because of what we don't do. Our consequences arise when we fail to follow the Lord’s guidelines and live in disobedience to Him. Obadiah made a list of things they did, but shouldn’t have. What the Edomites Shouldn’t Have Done - He said, you shouldn’t have . . . - gloated when they exiled your relatives. - rejoiced when the people of Judah suffered. - spoken arrogantly in that terrible time of trouble. - plundered the land of Israel. - gloated over their destruction. - seized their wealth when they were suffering. - stood at the crossroads, killing those who tried to escape. - captured the survivors and handed them over. Obadiah 1:12-14

The Results of Obedience

Jesus died and rose again as the ultimate sacrifice. He made salvation available to all who will accept that for themselves. If a person does not accept, this salvation will face eternal judgment. In the book of Galatians, chapter 6 says, "Don't be misled—you cannot mock the justice of God. You will always harvest what you plant." 6:7 As a young person, I learned that verse worded like this, "Do not be deceived, God is not mocked; for whatever a man sows, that he will also reap." Just a side note on the wording of that translation. Satan will do everything he can to deceive people from believing that salvation is as easy as receiving Jesus. Our verse for today talks about the total destruction of Edom. The Edomites thought they were getting away with something, but they weren't. We won't get anything past the Lord, either! Obedience to the Word will keep us from seeing the consequences of disobedience to God. Lord, help us sow love, hope and joy, not selfishness or discord, for we want to reap a life you favor.

1 Kings 18: God Gives Elijah A Message To Deliver To Ahab

1 After a long time, in the third year, the word of the Lord came to Elijah: “Go and present yourself to Ahab, and I will send rain on the land.” 

2 So Elijah went to present himself to Ahab.

Now the famine was severe in Samaria, 

3 and Ahab had summoned Obadiah, his palace administrator. (Obadiah was a devout believer in the Lord. 

4 While Jezebel was killing off the Lord’s prophets, Obadiah had taken a hundred prophets and hidden them in two caves, fifty in each, and had supplied them with food and water.) 

5 Ahab had said to Obadiah, “Go through the land to all the springs and valleys. Maybe we can find some grass to keep the horses and mules alive so we will not have to kill any of our animals.” 

6 So they divided the land they were to cover, Ahab going in one direction and Obadiah in another.

7 As Obadiah was walking along, Elijah met him. Obadiah recognized him, bowed down to the ground, and said, “Is it really you, my lord Elijah?”

8 “Yes,” he replied. “Go tell your master, ‘Elijah is here.’”

9 “What have I done wrong,” asked Obadiah, “that you are handing your servant over to Ahab to be put to death? 

10 As surely as the Lord your God lives, there is not a nation or kingdom where my master has not sent someone to look for you. And whenever a nation or kingdom claimed you were not there, he made them swear they could not find you. 

11 But now you tell me to go to my master and say, ‘Elijah is here.’ 

12 I don’t know where the Spirit of the Lord may carry you when I leave you. If I go and tell Ahab and he doesn’t find you, he will kill me. Yet I your servant have worshiped the Lord since my youth. 

13 Haven’t you heard, my lord, what I did while Jezebel was killing the prophets of the Lord? I hid a hundred of the Lord’s prophets in two caves, fifty in each, and supplied them with food and water. 

14 And now you tell me to go to my master and say, ‘Elijah is here.’ He will kill me!”

15 Elijah said, “As the Lord Almighty lives, whom I serve, I will surely present myself to Ahab today.”

Elijah on Mount Carmel

16 So Obadiah went to meet Ahab and told him, and Ahab went to meet Elijah. 

17 When he saw Elijah, he said to him, “Is that you, you troubler of Israel?”

18 “I have not made trouble for Israel,” Elijah replied. “But you and your father’s family have. You have abandoned the Lord’s commands and have followed the Baals. 

19 Now summon the people from all over Israel to meet me on Mount Carmel. And bring the four hundred and fifty prophets of Baal and the four hundred prophets of Asherah, who eat at Jezebel’s table.”

20 So Ahab sent word throughout all Israel and assembled the prophets on Mount Carmel. 

21 Elijah went before the people and said, “How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him.”

But the people said nothing.

22 Then Elijah said to them, “I am the only one of the Lord’s prophets left, but Baal has four hundred and fifty prophets. 

23 Get two bulls for us. Let Baal’s prophets choose one for themselves, and let them cut it into pieces and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. I will prepare the other bull and put it on the wood but not set fire to it. 

24 Then you call on the name of your god, and I will call on the name of the Lord. The god who answers by fire—he is God.”

Then all the people said, “What you say is good.”

25 Elijah said to the prophets of Baal, “Choose one of the bulls and prepare it first, since there are so many of you. Call on the name of your god, but do not light the fire.” 

26 So they took the bull given them and prepared it.

Then they called on the name of Baal from morning till noon. “Baal, answer us!” they shouted. But there was no response; no one answered. And they danced around the altar they had made.

27 At noon Elijah began to taunt them. “Shout louder!” he said. “Surely he is a god! Perhaps he is deep in thought, or busy, or traveling. Maybe he is sleeping and must be awakened.” 

28 So they shouted louder and slashed themselves with swords and spears, as was their custom, until their blood flowed. 

29 Midday passed, and they continued their frantic prophesying until the time for the evening sacrifice. But there was no response, no one answered, no one paid attention.

30 Then Elijah said to all the people, “Come here to me.” They came to him, and he repaired the altar of the Lord, which had been torn down. 

31 Elijah took twelve stones, one for each of the tribes descended from Jacob, to whom the word of the Lord had come, saying, “Your name shall be Israel.” 

32 With the stones he built an altar in the name of the Lord, and he dug a trench around it large enough to hold two seahs of seed. 

33 He arranged the wood, cut the bull into pieces and laid it on the wood. Then he said to them, “Fill four large jars with water and pour it on the offering and on the wood.”

34 “Do it again,” he said, and they did it again.

“Do it a third time,” he ordered, and they did it the third time. 

35 The water ran down around the altar and even filled the trench.

36 At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your command. 

37 Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you, Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”

38 Then the fire of the Lord fell and burned up the sacrifice, the wood, the stones and the soil, and also licked up the water in the trench.

39 When all the people saw this, they fell prostrate and cried, “The Lord—he is God! The Lord—he is God!”

40 Then Elijah commanded them, “Seize the prophets of Baal. Don’t let anyone get away!” They seized them, and Elijah had them brought down to the Kishon Valley and slaughtered there.

41 And Elijah said to Ahab, “Go, eat and drink, for there is the sound of a heavy rain.” 

42 So Ahab went off to eat and drink, but Elijah climbed to the top of Carmel, bent down to the ground and put his face between his knees.

43 “Go and look toward the sea,” he told his servant. And he went up and looked.

“There is nothing there,” he said.

Seven times Elijah said, “Go back.”

44 The seventh time the servant reported, “A cloud as small as a man’s hand is rising from the sea.”

So Elijah said, “Go and tell Ahab, ‘Hitch up your chariot and go down before the rain stops you.’”

45 Meanwhile, the sky grew black with clouds, the wind rose, a heavy rain started falling and Ahab rode off to Jezreel. 

46 The power of the Lord came on Elijah and, tucking his cloak into his belt, he ran ahead of Ahab all the way to Jezreel.
