The Book of Obadiah centers on God's judgment against the nation of Edom for their gloating and violence against Judah during the Babylonian exile. Obadiah's vision reveals that Edom's arrogance and mistreatment of their kin will lead to their complete destruction and loss of national identity. Conversely, the vision also foretells the restoration of Jerusalem and Judah, with the "kingdom" ultimately belonging to the Lord.
