Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Obadiah 1:15-21

The day of the Lord (15-21)In the day of the Lord, God will intervene in human affairs and punish sinners according to their sins. The Edomites celebrated their plunder of Jerusalem by holding wild drinking parties among the ruins of the temple on Mt Zion. They, as well as Jerusalem’s other enemies, will now be drunk in a different way. They will drink the cup of God’s wrath until, unable to stand any longer, they will stagger and fall (15-16).Having punished Jerusalem’s enemies, God will... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Obadiah 1:19

"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."Mount Esau and the Philistines are used here as "a synecdoche for all of the countries around about Canaan."[23] This passage has the same thought as that in Isaiah 54:3, where it was said of Israel that their seed "should possess the Gentiles." Israel's possession of Gentile nations was never... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Obadiah 1:19-20

Obadiah predicted that Jews living in various parts of Israel would possess parts of the Promised Land that other nations formerly occupied (cf. Isaiah 66:8; Zechariah 12:10 to Zechariah 13:1; Zechariah 14:1-9). These parts included Mt. Seir (Edom), Philistia, and territories to the north of Judah, including Ephraim and Samaria (the Northern Kingdom), and Transjordan (Gilead). Formerly exiled Israelites living to the north near Zarephath (in modern Lebanon) and in Sepharad (perhaps Sardis in... read more

B. The Occupation of Edom by Israel Obadiah 1:19-21This pericope (section of text), as the former one, also has a framing phrase: "the mountain of Esau" (Obadiah 1:19; Obadiah 1:21). This mountain, of course, contrasts with the Lord’s holy mountain, Zion (Obadiah 1:16-17). read more

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers - Obadiah 1:17-21

17-21.—ESTABLISHMENT OF THE KINGDOM OF JEHOVAH ON MOUNT ZION.(17) Deliverance.—Better, as in margin, the fugitives of Israel who have survived the recent calamity. This is clear from Isaiah 10:20, where phelêytah is in parallelism with shear=remnant, as well as Joel 2:32; Hebrews 3:5, where it is parallel to serîdîm, also remnant. (Comp. also Judges 21:17; 2 Chronicles 20:24.) While the judgment is falling upon all the heathen nations, Mount Zion will be an asylum for all the Israelites who had... read more

EDOM AND ISRAELObadiah 1:1-21IF the Book of Obadiah presents us with some of the most difficult questions of criticism, it raises besides one of the hardest ethical problems in all the vexed history of Israel.Israel’s fate has been to work out their calling in the world through antipathies rather than by sympathies, but of all the antipathies which the nation experienced none was more bitter and more constant than that towards Edom. The rest of Israel’s enemies rose and fell like waves:... read more
