Obadiah 12-14 - God, The Radical Politician

It's so unfair.


How was Edom meant to know that the God of Israel was the real God? They grew up with the common sense that their own pagan gods were real, since they probably did grant some of their requests. But because of that, doing perfectly normal things such as taunting their enemies (in this case Israel), they get scolded by Obadiah.

So what's going to happen with countries like China, and its province/neighbour country Tibet? Neither of them are favoured, so they're allowed to torment each other?

Israel was born worshiping the right God. Everyone else was born worshiping the wrong gods. Back in the days, they didn't have evangelists. How were they supposed to convert? It's a true example of 屈機.
