Obadiah 1:11
In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them. In the day that thou stoodest on the other side, in the day that the strangers carried away captive his forces, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even thou wast as one of them.
Obadiah's prophecy is to be read together with the account of Jacob's trouble in Genesis 32 and Jeremiah 30:7. In that combined light Jacob stands for believers and Esau stands for unbelievers. The two figures thus set forth the two opposing classes, one on the side of faith and the other against it. Their separation will be clearly seen and fully revealed in the final conflict with the image beast.
