THE VISION OF OBADIAH

OBADIAH 1:1-6

THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD CONCERNING EDOM; 
WE HAVE HEARD 
A RUMOUR FROM THE LORD, 
AND AN AMBASSADOR 
IS SENT AMONG THE HEATHEN, 
ARISE YE, 
AND LET US RISE UP 
AGAINST HER IN BATTLE. 
BEHOLD, I HAVE MADE 
THEE SMALL AMONG 
THE HEATHEN: 
THOU ART GREATLY DESPISED. 
THE PRIDE OF THINE HEART 
HATH DECEIVED THEE, 
THOU THAT DWELLEST 
IN 
THE CLEFTS OF THE ROCK, 
WHOSE HABITATION IS HIGH; 
THAT SAITH IN HIS HEART, 
WHO SHALL BRING 
ME DOWN TO THE GROUND? 
THOUGH THOU EXALT
THYSELF AS THE EAGLE,
AND THOUGH
THOU SET THY 
NEST AMONG THE STARS,
THENCE WILL I BRING THEE DOWN, SAITH THE LORD.
IF THIEVES CAME TO THEE, 
IF ROBBERS BY NIGHT, 
(HOW ART THOU CUT OFF!) 
WOULD THEY NOT 
HAVE STOLEN 
TILL THEY HAD ENOUGH? 
IF THE GRAPEGATHERERS
 CAME TO THEE, 
WOULD THEY 
NOT LEAVE SOME GRAPES? 
HOW ARE THE THINGS 
OF ESAU SEARCHED OUT! 
HOW ARE HIS HIDDEN 
THINGS SOUGHT UP!

Hebrews 11:17-40 BY FAITH  ABRAHAM, WHEN HE WAS TRIED, OFFERED UP ISAAC:  AND HE THAT HAD RECEIVED THE PROMISES  OFFERED UP HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON,  OF WHOM IT WAS SAID,  THAT IN ISAAC SHALL THY SEED BE CALLED:   ACCOUNTING THAT GOD WAS ABLE  TO RAISE HIM UP,  EVEN FROM THE DEAD;  FROM WHENCE  ALSO HE RECEIVED HIM  IN A FIGURE.   BY FAITH ISAAC blessed Jacob and Esau  CONCERNING THINGS TO COME BY FAITH JACOB, WHEN HE WAS DYING blessed both the sons of Joseph; and  WORSHIPPED, LEANING UPON THE TOP OF HIS STAFF. BY FAITH  JOSEPH,  WHEN HE DIED, MADE MENTION  of the departing of the children of Israel; and  GAVE COMMANDMENT CONCERNING HIS BONES. BY FAITH MOSES WHEN HE WAS BORN,  was hid three months of his parents,  because they saw he was A PROPER CHILD;  and they were NOT AFRAID of the king's commandment. BY FAIT...

JEREMIAH 6:1-9     O YE CHILDREN OF BENJAMIN ,  GATHER YOURSELVES  TO FLEE OUT OF  THE MIDST OF JERUSALEM ,  AND  BLOW THE TRUMPET IN TEKOA ,  AND SET UP A SIGN OF FIRE  IN BETHHACCEREM :  FOR EVIL APPEARETH  OUT OF THE NORTH,  AND GREAT DESTRUCTION. I HAVE LIKENED  THE DAUGHTER OF ZION   TO  A COMELY AND DELICATE WOMAN. THE SHEPHERDS WITH THEIR FLOCKS  SHALL COME UNTO HER;  THEY SHALL PITCH THEIR TENTS  AGAINST HER ROUND ABOUT;  THEY SHALL FEED EVERY  ONE IN HIS PLACE.  PREPARE YE WAR AGAINST HER;  ARISE,  AND LET US GO UP AT NOON.  WOE UNTO US!  FOR THE DAY GOETH AWAY,  FOR THE SHADOWS OF THE EVENING  ARE STRETCHED OUT.  ARISE, AND LET US GO BY NIGHT,  AND LET US DESTROY  HER PALACES.  FOR  THUS HATH THE LORD OF HOSTS SAID,  HEW YE DOWN TREES,  AND  CAST A MOUNT AGAINST  JERUSALEM:  THIS IS THE CITY TO ...
