The book of Abdias is composed of only one chapter and is a message of judgment against Edom because of its hostility and violence against the people of Israel. Here are five verses related to the topics addressed in Abdias 1:

Exodus 17:16: "For he said, For the Lord, the Lord has sworn that there will be war of the Lord against Amaleque from generation to generation." The war between the descendants of Jacob and Esau (from which Edom came dating back to biblical times. The Exodus verse shows that this war was initiated by the Lord Himself and that it would be fought from generation to generation.

Jeremiah 49:14: "A message from the Lord against Edom is heard, and news is heard in Seir." Jeremiah prophesies against Edom, announcing that he would be destroyed as one of the neighboring nations of Israel who had opposed God and his people.

Ezekiel 35:5: "For eternal enmity you have, and you have given the children of Israel to the wire of the sword in the time of calamity, in the time of final iniquity." Ezekiel also prophesies against Edom, saying that she was a ruthless enemy of Israel and would be punished for it.

Psalm 137:7: "Remember, Lord, of the children of Edom on the day of Jerusalem, who said, I discovered it, I discovered it to its foundations." This psalm recalls the suffering of the Jewish people in Babylonian exile and claims that the Edomites rejoiced with the fall of Jerusalem and encouraged their destruction.

Obadiah 1:21: "And he will be saviors to Mount Zion to judge the hill of Esau, and the kingdom will be of the Lord." The last verse of Obadiah's book prophesies Israel's final victory over Edom and the ascension of the Lord as king upon all the earth.
