Obadiah 1:8
The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms #210
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)
Obadiah 1:19-21
19
Those of the South will possess the mountain of Esau, and those of the lowland, the Philistines. They will possess the field of Ephraim, and the field of Samaria. Benjamin will possess Gilead.
20
The captives of this army of the children of Israel, who are among the Canaanites, will possess even to Zarephath; and the captives of Jerusalem, who are in Sepharad, will possess the cities of the Negev.
21
Saviors will go up on Mount Zion to judge the mountains of Esau, and the kingdom will be Yahweh's.
