Bible Study, Obadiah

In this study Mr. Smith goes verse by verse through the shortest book in the Old Testament. Obadiah presents God's judgement against the people of Edom. Mr. Smith ends this study by reminding us that when we read accounts of God's strong judgment against various peoples we must always keep in mind the future offer of salvation that the Last Great Day promises to all people.
