Obadiah and Edom

Reading the book of Obadiah in the Living Bible including the introduction to the book.

The introduction is really informative:

Also.. I thought the line “…drink and stagger back and disappear from history” is rather chilling.

The imagery of this is good… and the truth of it as well, since the Edomites are long gone.

I always think of Indiana Jones and the Search for the Holy Grail when I think of the Edomites, because the carved stone city of Petra was featured in the movie, and it is in the territory of Edom. Pretty sure that the carved “buildings” in Petra (such as “the bank”) were done much later than the Biblical Edomites, though.
