I am reading a series of short books in the Bible about several minor prophets - this one is named Obadiah.
Obadiah has a vision that the country of Edom will be destroyed. Bad news again. I think it is because Esau was violent with his brother Jacob, gloated over Jacob’s misfortune, was cruel to the survivors of disaster, and Edom is his kingdom. Payback time. As you have done, it will be done to you.
In the end, it reaffirms that the exiles of Israel will possess all the land again, in time.
On to Jonah…
