The Slaughter Of The Warriors

Let us muse today from Obadiah verse nine and the slaughter of Edom’s warriors. Obadiah fine tunes the prophetical telescope and looks down through time. He saw Edom begin to be overcome and slaughtered by Nebuchadnezzar’s army. He saw the Maccabean warriors reduce Edom even lower. When the Romans came Edom would lose their identity. No matter of wisdom or warriors could save Edom when God decreed their downfall. It happened just like Obadiah saw it. I wonder when God will decreed the downfall of America? Our armies or our great wisdom will not save us. Let us as God’s people look to him to be our refuge and strength and not man’s wisdom or might.
