Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Obadiah 1:20

"And the captives of this host of the children of Israel, that are among the Canaanites, shall possess even unto Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, that are in Sepharad, shall possess the cities of the South."This is a continuation of the thought of the preceding verses; and the captives mentioned are not, in any sense, those carried away by the Assyrians or the Babylonians, but those who were captives of sin and rebellion against God. It is here prophesied that at the time of the... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Obadiah 1:21

"And saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be Jehovah's."There were to be sure, primary, partial, and more immediate fulfillment's of this prophecy of the preeminence of Jerusalem which came to pass exactly as Obadiah promised. Perhaps, as Deane noted, "Zerubbabel and the valiant Maccabees, who severely punished the Edomites"[24] were, in a sense, "saviours" that rose up to restore the true religion, the reading of God's law, etc.; but all such... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Obadiah 1:20

Obadiah 1:20. And the captivity of this host— And those very children of Israel, who had been captives to the Canaanites, even to Zarephath, and the captives of Jerusalem, who shall have been in Sepharad, [that is to say, as some suppose, a province of Babylon] shall possess, &c. Houbigant. The prophet here foretels what might seem almost incredible; namely, that those very Jews who shall go into captivity, shall hereafter possess all the countries here mentioned; particularly those of the... read more

21. saviours—There will be in the kingdom yet to come no king, but a prince; the sabbatic period of the judges will return (compare the phrase so frequent in Judges, only once found in the times of the kings, :-, "the land had rest"), when there was no visible king, but God reigned in the theocracy. Israelites, not strangers, shall dispense justice to a God-fearing people (Isaiah 1:26; Ezekiel 45:1-25). The judges were not such a burden to the people as the kings proved afterwards (1 Samuel... 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

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Obadiah 1:21

In summary, those who would deliver the Jews to their divinely intended destiny would ascend Mt. Zion and would judge Mt. Seir (cf. Judges 3:9; Judges 3:15). Edom would not prevail over Israel, but Yahweh would prove to be sovereign (cf. Judges 3:1). His kingdom would extend over the whole Promised Land, even the part that Israel’s enemies formerly occupied and the people who formerly opposed them. The conquest of the land that Joshua began but did not finish will be complete then. Thus... read more
