Obadiah 1:20-21
We Will Be Delivered
20 This company of Israelite exiles who are in Canaan
will possess the land as far as Zarephath;
the exiles from Jerusalem who are in Sepharad
will possess the towns of the Negev.
21 Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion
to govern the mountains of Esau.
And the kingdom will be the LORD's.
Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament...Obadiah, which means worshiper of the LORD, was probably written after the Babylon exile in 587 b.c...
Obadiah talks about Edom, the descendants of Esau, the older twin brother of Jacob...Edom was still fighting a long bitter, at very best a feud against their brother nation Israel (Jacob)...Off and on the two nations fight for years and years, even though Esau had forgiven Jacob for cheating him out of his blessing (Genesis 27 and Genesis 33)...
Humanity has prejudice, hold grudges, seeks revenge, and wages war...Sometimes it seems these will never end the violence in the world...But someday the LORD will come...He will deliver us and govern all, and the Kingdom will be the LORD's... The LORD will rule over all people, and the fighting and suffering will end...
