Holy BIBLE OBADIAH (William Tyndale Majority Transcript)

The book of Obadiah delivers a prophetic judgment against Edom, rooted in divine justice and the consequences of pride, violence, and complicity in Judah's suffering. Centered on the theme of retribution, the passage declares that Edom's arrogance—symbolized by its fortified stronghold—will be undone by God, who will bring down even the highest aspirations. The nation's moral failure, including rejoicing in Judah's downfall, exploiting their distress, and betraying allies, will result in total destruction, as God's day of judgment draws near and retribution mirrors their own actions. In contrast, Mount Zion stands as a beacon of hope, where deliverance, holiness, and divine sovereignty prevail, culminating in the ultimate triumph of God's kingdom as the remnant of Israel is restored and Edom is utterly consumed. The message is both a warning to the proud and a promise of redemption for the faithful.
