They Watched Jerusalem Burn and Celebrated—Then Vanished From History | Book of Obadiah

Описание: Only 21 verses. One nation condemned. A betrayal so terrible it echoes through 2,600 years of history.

When Jerusalem burned under Babylonian invasion, the Edomites—blood relatives of the Jews descended from Esau—didn't just refuse to help. They blocked escape routes, robbed desperate refugees, captured survivors and handed them to the enemy, and celebrated as the Temple went up in flames.

A simple farmer named Obadiah witnessed it all. His daughter was beaten and robbed by Edomite soldiers. His son died fighting. His family was torn apart. And from that pain came the shortest book in the Bible—a prophecy that an entire nation would be erased from history for their betrayal.

Incredibly, it all came true. Edom vanished completely. The proud kingdom in the mountains of Petra was conquered, absorbed, and forgotten—while the Jewish people they betrayed survived exile and returned.

Discover why this tiny book carries massive lessons about betrayal, justice, and the consequences of standing by while evil happens.
