For these actions, as well as others Edom finds itself at the words of Obadiah as he prophesies their judgement. Although Obadiah is not related to as a ¡§prophet¡¨ of God (Obad 1:1) his purpose is clearly established as God¡¦s mouth piece against Edom, and later confirmed by his contemporary, Jeremiah (Jer 49:7-22).
