History Lessons on Esau

Obadiah 1:6-9

"How are the things of Esau [Edom] searched out! How are his hidden treasures sought out!
All the men of your confederacy (your allies) have brought you on your way, even to the border; the men who were at peace with you have deceived you and prevailed against you; they who eat your bread have laid a snare under you. There is no understanding [in Edom, or] of it.
Will not I in that day, says the Lord, destroy the wise men out of Edom and [men of] understanding out of Mount Esau [Idumea, a mountainous region]?
And your mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that everyone from Mount Esau will be cut off by slaughter."

This prophet told of the Lord saying He would destroy this hill country people who terrorized His people of Jacob...

In verses of warnings, Obadiah spoke out for God... When you stand aloof, then you stand with the enemy's of God...

The Word says; "choose you this day Who you will serve..."
