Obadiah 1
This is what the Sovereign Lord says about Edom—We have heard a message from the Lord: An envoy was sent to the nations to say, “Rise, let us go against her for battle”—ee, I will make you small among the nations; you will be utterly despised. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, ‘Who can bring me down to the ground?’
Because of the violence against your brother Jacob, you will be covered with shame; you will be destroyed forever.
You should not gloat over your brother in the day of his misfortune, nor rejoice over the people of Judah in the day of their destruction, nor boast so much in the day of their trouble.
But on Mount Zion will be deliverance; it will be holy, and Jacob will possess his inheritance. Jacob will be a fire and Joseph a flame; Esau will be stubble, and they will set him on fire and destroy him.
Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will be the Lord’s.
Why?
Esau and Jacob are brothers, but Esau did not help Jacob when they were in trouble, so the Lord will judge Esau and his inheritance.
When delivers go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau, then the kingdom will be the Lord's. One day the kingdom of Esau will be destroyed.
問題：以東的狂傲；自以為鷹；與多國結盟，可以高枕無憂；學者、人才很多；多有寶物、農業好，高收入的國家；地勢險要；這可以用於教會、國家、個人的提醒。這些正是世人所追求的。我們人會以為是靠自己的能力闖出來的。
以東的暴行：趁火打劫，8個不當，六親不認，利益擺中間，友情放兩旁，反目成仇。這也是社會的現實面。
How?
Do not worry about what happens in the world, the Lord is the sovereign Lord who knows everything and it is in the hands of the Lord.
