Consequences for Indifference

About this episode

The episode discusses the consequences of indifference as illustrated in the Book of Obadiah, particularly in relation to the attacks on Israel.

Have you ever seen someone being attacked, their home being broken into...and done nothing? Could you imagine doing nothing if it was your relative's home? The Book of Obadiah laws down the consequences for Edom (descendents of Esau's) indifference when Jacob (Israel) was in need. It serves as a warning for us today. Editing note: in the recording I mistakingly state that the October 7 attacks on Israel happened in 2024. That is incorrect. It happened in 2023. In my bible margins, I wrote Oct 7 2024 as I read Obadiah on the 1 year anniversary of the attacks. I just didn’t remember that’s what I did, nor did I check the historicity of my statement until after the sermon was presented.
