“The day of the Lord is near for all nations. As you have done, it will be done to you; your deeds will return upon your own head. Just as you drank on my holy hill, so all the nations will drink continually; they will drink and drink and be as if they had never been. 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. There will be no survivors from Esau.” The Lord has spoken.
- Obadiah 1:15-18
Are we living in the end times?
There are hundreds of thousands of scholars and people in general that are reading the Bible and seeing “signs” everywhere.
In 1995 Tim LaHaye and Jerry Jenkins stared collaborating on a series of books called the Left Behind series.
People were snagging these books up and devouring them the minute they were released and in some cases there was a waiting list because the publisher could not keep up.
And suddenly, every one every where was watching for the false prophet and the mark of the beast because these books were so well written and biblically based that readers felt the story could actually happen at any moment.
Obadiah was given a vision, and it must be pretty important because it is in the Bible, it is one chapter set between Amos and Jonah, so it’s often missed.
This vision was of Edom, a city that was full of evil as many cities in that day were.
God was harsh in His judgement of the city and laid out exactly how their punishment would go.
If the time really I near, if we are about to live the “Left Behind” series, I want to be with Jacob and Joseph, not Esau.
It is far past time to set our lives straight and live according to God’s will.
