Obadiah 1:10 For thy violence against thy brother Jacob shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt be cut off for ever. “Violence against … Jacob”: Edom’s opposition is in view, which began as Israel approached the land (Num. 20:14-21) and continued to Habakkuk’s day. “Slaughter” (verse 9) and shame for Edom will be just retribution for Edom’s violence and slaughter against her brother’s people. The bitter feelings of Edom went back to Esaus hate for his brother Jacob. They had even refused the Israelites passage through their land into the Promised Land. They even sided in with Babylon against Judah. They were eager to destroy their relative Judah, anytime they could. God did not look kindly upon them for this hatred. After this battle, Edom, as a nation, fades from history and is heard from no more. WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE LIKE THAT, THEY HATE YOU BECAUSE OF FRIENDS OR FAMILY MEMBERS, THEY WILL DO EVERYTHING TO STOP ANY SERVANT OF GOD FOR THEIR FRIENDS AND FAMILY MEMBERS...JUST REMEMBER THAT WHEN NO BODY ELSE WAS THERE FOR YOU, GOD WAS THERE AND HE WILL NEVER LEAVE YOU ALONE.
