“For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near;
As you have done, it shall be done to you;
Your reprisal shall return upon your own head.” Obadiah 1:15
We have entered a period of the final judgment of God. The day of the Lord is upon all nations. As you have done, it shall be done to you.

God is furious with the lack of respect and fear for who He is. He will be unleashing His punishment upon all nations. He also detests those who live with a haughty or arrogant attitude.
God has communicated His plan to me through the Book of Obadiah. The nation of Edom did not come to the rescue of Israel when they were under siege by enemy nations. In fact, they participated in the destruction of Israel.
The actions of Edom caused their nation to suffer greatly and to be literally destroyed by God.
God made an everlasting covenant with Abraham and all his descendants. They were selected by God to be His chosen people and a special treasure above all the nations. Regardless of the Israelites lack of faith and stubbornness, God promised to never leave or forsake them.
As a believer, you are standing in the middle of this cloud of judgment and cannot escape the scrutiny of God. You can choose to be lukewarm and suffer or you can turn to God with a heart of repentance and a desire to do His will.
The good news in this story is God has set a place in Mount Zion (the sanctuary of God) to deliver His people and allow them to dwell in His holiness.
The survivors of this judgment will be the remnant of the Body of Christ. They will be God’s anointed people and will live with Him forever!
This is the perfect time to make sure you are good with God. Come to Jesus with a genuine heart and an openness to walk in His ways!
