Obadiah

Bible Reference: Obadiah 1

Obadiah served as a prophet of God.
There were twelve biblical characters known as “Obadiah” which means “servant of the Lord.”
Not much is known about the Obadiah who wrote this book, which is the smallest in the Old Testament.
It is thought that Obadiah is one of the earliest minor prophets, used in connection with the prophecies of Joel and Jeremiah.
His prophecy was against Edom, the descendants of Esau, for being prideful and violent.
Ultimately he prophesied that Edom would be destroyed with no survivors, which was fulfilled as there are no remaining Edomites.
