All About Edom (Part Four): Obadiah and Edom's Sin
'Prophecy Watch' by Richard T. RitenbaughEdom's hatred, rooted in pride and a deep-seated grudge against Israel, stands as a fundamental flaw in their character. This animosity stems from Esau's belief that he deserved mastery and his father's blessings, fostering a bitterness that became a defining trait of the Edomite people. In 586 BC, the Edomites allied with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylonian forces against Judah, taking pleasure in the Jews' defeat and committing atrocities against the defenseless, including babies and youngsters. The violence perpetrated by Edom against ancient Israel and Judah is well-documented, revealing a persistent pattern of cruelty. God takes great offense to these acts, promising that Edom shall be cut off forever as a consequence of their relentless hatred and crimes against His chosen people.
