210. Internal Meaning of Obadiah, Chapter 1
Of those who are in self-intelligence and pervert the sense of the letter of the word; these are Edom. (2)
1-3 They must be combated, because they believe themselves to be more intelligent than others. (2)
4-5 They defend falsities by natural light, but they will perish, and with them, the falsities themselves. (2)
8-9 They will perish on the day of judgment, because they have oppressed the church. (15, 3)
10-14 They destroy the church still further, and this is their delight. (3)
15-16 Destruction will come upon them on the day of judgment. (15)
17 A new church will come into existence (11)
18 in place of the former church, which is condemned. (11, 3)
19-21 The new church will be in the understanding of truth, and those that are in it will be saved. (11)
15
For the day of Yahweh is near all the nations! As you have done, it will be done to you. Your deeds will return upon your own head.
16
For as you have drunk on my holy mountain, so will all the nations drink continually. Yes, they will drink, swallow down, and will be as though they had not been.
