Obadiah prophesied judgment against who?
Edom
Who is Obadiah in The Bible?
About 586 B.C., Babylon took Judah into exile and as neighbor Edom helped Babylon and took away Judah's southern territory, God sent His servant Obadiah to explain the situation to His people. Obadiah has two messages: God know and will judge the sins of His people's enemies, and the day of the Lord will bring deliverance for God's people. Obadiah shows God's justice, sovereignty, and grace amid disaster. The salvation of God's people and the destruction of Edom were both prohesied in the book of Obadiah verses 17+18. The fact that Edom no longer exists, and that the Israelites were again restored to their homeland, prove the accurate fulfillment of this prophecy.(Jeremiah 25:15-17, 21, 27-29; 49:7-22 and Ezekiel 25:12-14; 35:1-15 joined Obadiah in his prophecy about Edom's destruction).

The subject of Obadiah is the destruction of Edom. The message for people of today would seem to be the futility of fighting against God or God's people. I don't see Obadiah responding to social issues of the day.

What was the prophet Obadiah's main message?
Hi Yal''Answer:Obadiah's vision is an end time prophecy concerning the nation of "Turkey"... the descendants of Jacob's brother, Esau, or "Edom":"Esau said to Jacob, 'I'm starved! Give me some of that red stew you've made.' (This was how Esau got his other name, Edom - 'Red.') (Gen.25:30 NLT New Living Translation)"The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith the Lord God concerning EDOM..." (Obadiah 1:1).Many end time prophecies are about "the Day of the Lord"... the time at the end of God's plan when Jesus Christ returns to earth with the Kingdom of God [see Isa 13:6; Jer.46:10; Ezek.30:3; Joel 1:15; Amos 5:18; Zeph.1:7; Zech.14:1; Mal.4:5; Acts 2:20; I Cor.5:5; I Thess.5:2; II Peter 3:10].And so is the time frame of Obadiah's prophecy set in the Day of Christ's return:"For the Day of the Lord is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee..." (verse 15).

Who are the descendants of edom now?
Answer>Esau: Eldest son of Isaac and twin brother of Jacob. Esau settled in the country round about Mount Seir (also know as Mount Esau) which became known as Edom(meaning red), and Esau's descendants where, of course, known as the Edomites. The relationship between Israel and Edom was not exactly constructive and resulted in many violent conflicts. The prophet Obadiah (KJB. pg1146) prophesied concern the downfall of Edom because it joined forces with the foreign forces which invaded Israel his brother. Verses 8 and 9 speaks of the pending destruction of the wise men of Edom, and the understanding men of Esau, and the mighty men of Teman. Teman, which means "south", was another name for Edom or part of Edom. Verse 18 of Obadiah describes the pending destruction of the house of Esau, "And the house of Jacob shall be a fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau for stubble, and they shall kindle in them, and devour them; and there shall not be [any] remaining of the house of Esau; for the LORD hath spoken [it]." Ezekiel 25:13-14 also prophecies the end of Edom. Amos 9:12 speaks of the remnant of Edom being possessed by Israel. And last but not least, we read in Malachi 1:3, "And I hated Esau, and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness." The word hate in the verse is meant that the Lord hated the sins of the children of Esau. The prophecies concerning Edom were partly fulfilled in the reign of King David, 1 Kings 11:15-16, "For it came to pass, when David was in Edom, and Joab the captain of the host was gone up to bury the slain, after he had smitten every male in Edom; (For six months did Joab remain there with all Israel, until he had cut off every male in Edom:)". Edom ceased to be a kingdom during the Roman, Jewish rebellion wars 66 - 73 AD. Esau and Jacob were born about 1825BC. Edom also became known as Idumea. King Herod (and family) who ruled Israel at the time of the birth of Jesus Christ was an Idumaean but converted to the Jewish faith.>Answer:Esau's descendants are "Teman," the Ottomans... the Turks (Turkey)."...thy mighty men, O Teman, shall be dismayed, to the end that every one of the mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter." (Obadiah 1:9)
