The Book Of Obadiah Commentary. Obadiah is like a ghost writer in that he is there, but we do not know him. Nothing is known of obadiah’s ministry apart from what is contained in the short book that bears his name, though he must have been one of the few genuine prophets left in judah at the time of its overthrow and captivity.
· an obadiah was sent out by king jehoshaphat of judah to teach the law in the cities of judah (2 chronicles 17:7). And to refer to the destruction of the enemies of the gospel church. See the prediction of the success.
· an obadiah was sent out by king jehoshaphat of judah to teach the law in the cities of judah (2 chronicles 17:7).
All these verses point out the part the edomites took against the jews. These four prophets are cloaked in anonymity. Its destruction seems to have been typical, as their father esau's rejection; Obadiah is a prophet of god who uses this opportunity to condemn edom for sins against both god and israel.
