“The Vision of Obadiah. Thus says the Lord God to Edom” [1:1]. The prophet Obadiah prophesied. He was born a gentile in Edom who converted and became a prophet. He prophesied how Edom would have a downfall in the days of the Messiah. That is why, someone from Edom prophesied about Edom. That is to say, let someone from Edom come and let him punish Edom, someone who lived among the two evildoers, Ahab and Jezebel, and did not learn from their evil deeds and remained righteous. Therefore, Obadiah should punish Edom, which is Esau, who lived among two righteous people, Isaac and Rebecca, and did not learn from their learn from their good deeds.1B. Sanhedrin, 39b. Obadiah is also identified with the Obadiah who served Ahab and hid the prophets (I Kings, 18:4).
