Esau's Doom: A Guide to Obadiah (Guides to God's Word Book 27) Kindle Edition

by Michael Whitworth (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 4.4 out of 5 stars 41 ratings

Discover the horror of God's international kegger-of-wrath tour.

The book of Obadiah may be among the most neglected in the Old Testament. It is a message of divine judgment against Israel’s cousins, the Edomites. Descended from Esau, Jacob’s brother, the Edomites taunted Israel and celebrated her destruction at the hands of the Babylonians in 586 BC.

In response to such arrogance and hatred, a little-known Judaean prophet named Obadiah predicted Esau’s doom and Israel’s restoration. Obadiah reminds us of God’s faithfulness to the humble and lowly, and of his oath to punish and humiliate the wicked.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"My guess is there are not very many followers of Jesus who have read, much less studied, the writings of the prophet Obadiah lately. May I suggest to you that we need to read what this man of God wrote. It speaks volumes to our current culture. If you read Esau's Doom along with your study of Obadiah, it will be a great help to you." —Jeff A. Jenkins, The Jenkins Institute

"In Esau's Doom, Michael fully displays his gift for taking the best of biblical scholarship and making it readable and practical. Though Obadiah may be seen as a tiny, insignificant book, it has a message that is real and applicable for the church today. Esau's Doom will help you understand God's Word in Obadiah in a way that will directly impact your life." —Drew Dabbs, Morrison Heights Baptist Church

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Book On Obadiah!
Reviewed in the United States on June 4, 2014

As with all of Michaels books they aren't going to bog the reader down or confuse them as a commentary might. They make sense. Michael constantly brings the reader to a place where they can see the implications of the minor prophets in both their immediate context, the context of the NT fulfillment, and the impact they have on the church today. This short book will be a blessing to you and I definitely recommend it!

I thoroughly loved this book! I learned so much! I had never thought to read the book of Obediah, but it truly has a relevant message for this day and age.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now I Understand Obadiah
Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2015

This is a great little (I finished it in about an hour or so) exposition on the book of Obadiah. Even though the biblical book is only 21 verses long, it has always been a difficult book for me to wrap my head around. Whitworth's book finally helped me understand what it's all about.
This book also reinforced what the Lord has been teaching me lately about my feelings toward those who are antagonistic toward the Christian faith. God has been helping me to see that those folks are acting like heathens because they ARE heathens. I shouldn't be surprised when they lash out at Christians because they are enemies of God. And I was exactly like them before God saved me. I need to be praying for these present day Edomites rather than being angry toward them.

We need to be careful what we say about the bad times other believers have. This book made me take a step back and take a good look at myself.

This book has some good information, but I expected a bit more regarding the historical understanding of the nation of Edom.

The book is detailed for a short book of the Old Testament. It gives an extensive list of references.

It has a section for application for today.

This book (Obadiah) is applicable to today as it was when it was written.
