Obadiah: 'No wisdom'

"The Palestinians are nomads, wanderers. They’ve never had a homeland. I mean, if it was important for the Palestinians to have a state and the Arabs really wanted it, well, Jordan is Arab. Arabia is Arab. All of that desert, give them some of it. But they’re not interested in that; they want to get rid of Israel," explains Richard Jordan.

"These tribulation saints are asking Jehovah to, ‘Rescue us. They hate us; they’re trying to destroy us.’ Look at what they ask in Psalm 83:

[9] Do unto them as unto the Midianites; as to Sisera, as to Jabin, at the brook of Kison:
[10] Which perished at Endor: they became as dung for the earth.
[11] Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:

Verses 15-17: [15] So persecute them with thy tempest, and make them afraid with thy storm.
[16] Fill their faces with shame; that they may seek thy name, O LORD.
[17] Let them be confounded and troubled for ever; yea, let them be put to shame, and perish:

“This is one of the things that’s so wonderful about your Bible. Over and over, and Isaiah does this, Zechariah does this. They’ll look at the Second Advent and say, ‘This is going to be just like . . . You remember that passage back in Judges 5 and 6 when God used Deborah and Barak to destroy Sisera? Nail them like you did back there!’

“That think back in Judges 4 is actually called a rehearsal. We’re going to rehearse how God’s going to destroy the satanic policy of evil.

“You’ve got all these rehearsals in the history of Israel. All of a sudden when you read Judges, it’s not just old, dead, dry history. You’re learning things about how the heaven’s going to fight with them and so forth and you’re literally being instructed on how the Second Advent’s going to take place.

“There’s the Midianites is Judges 7 with Gideon. Sisera is in Judges 4 and 5. When you see that, it makes your Bible a living history. It’s alive. It’s not just dead stuff back there God had to put in there to fill up His pages.

Obadiah 15: [15] For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

“The Abrahamic Covenant said, ‘I’ll bless them that bless thee and curse them that curse thee.’ The ways the Gentiles treated Israel would be the way God would treat them.

"In Matthew 25, the judgment of the nations at the end of the tribulation, He gathers all those nations together and says, 'Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
[41] Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

“They get into the kingdom based upon the reciprocity of how they treated the nation Israel. Well, the Edomites are going to treated based on, ‘How did you treat Israel?’ Pretty rough, always hating them. So He’s going to do some hating on them.

Obadiah: [14] Neither shouldest thou have stood in the crossway, to cut off those of his that did escape; neither shouldest thou have delivered up those of his that did remain in the day of distress.
[15] For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.
[16] For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

“He’s going to use the nation Israel to destroy these people. Watch how he says it in Ezekiel 35: [5] Because thou hast had a perpetual hatred, and hast shed the blood of the children of Israel by the force of the sword in the time of their calamity, in the time that their iniquity had an end:

[6] Therefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD, I will prepare thee unto blood, and blood shall pursue thee: sith thou hast not hated blood, even blood shall pursue thee.

“There’s a perpetual hatred that starts with Esau. Ishmael and Esau were jealous of the blessings of God in the Abrahamic Covenant given to their brothers. God chose Isaac, not Ismael, and Jacob, not Esau.

“God promised to bless Ishmael but Ishmael turned his back on it. That’s why there’s no wisdom. Obadiah says there’s no knowledge in them. Instead of understanding how to function by faith in the Abrahamic Covenant, bless Israel and get blessed, they turned bitter.

“You remember how bitter Hagar was? Esau was the same way. There’s this perpetual hatred, meaning all through time. That stuff going on over there right now has its roots in Genesis.”
