FAMOUS STORIES INCLUDED: MOST FAMOUS VERSES: • No stories are included in this short book of prophecy. The pride of your heart has deceived you, you who live in the clefts of the rocks and make your home on the heights, you who say to yourself, "Who can bring me down to the ground?'' Obadiah 1:3 Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down," declares the LORD." Obadiah 1:4 Important points about the Book: Most of Obadiah's prophecy is judgment on the foreign nation of Edom. Therefore, Obadiah is one of only three prophets who pronounced judgment primarily on other nations. The others are the prophets Nahum and Habakkuk.
