The Comforts of the Christian Life (Obadiah 1:1-21) (selected verses 10-11)

And why? Because of the violence you did to your relatives in Israel.  Now you will be destroyed completely and filled with shame forever.  For you deserted your relatives  in Israel during their time of greatest  need.  You stood aloof, refusing to lift a finger to help when foreign invaders carried off their wealth and cast lots to divide up Jerusalem.  You acted as though you were on of Israel's enemies.  (Obadiah 10-11) Hi everyone, The book of Obadiah: Obadiah means servant, worshipper of Jehovah I am going to make a bit of a review on the book of Obadiah in the Bible.  The goal is hopefully to encourage you to all read it as it is one of the least read book in the Bible. We have to approach every book of prophecy in the Bible with faith and not fear. This book offers incredible comfort to the people of God as they are protected by Him.  But a great retribution to the nations who rise against them.  In this case Edom vs Israel. In the middle of this book of Obadiah, there is a

He is Coming and yes it is soon! (2 Peter 3:2-4)

 First, I want to remind  you that in the last days there will be scoffers who will laugh at the truth and do every evil thing they desire.  This will be their argument: "Jesus promised to come back, did he? Then where is he?  Why, as far back as anyone can remember, everything has remained exactly the same since the world was first created." (2 Peter 3:2-4) Although no one knows the hour of Jesus Christ's coming, we sure can now see the signs here on earth.  We go by the signs! Peter, here announced that in the last days scoffers and mockers will be present and today we sure see and hear an abundance of them.  So the evidence of the last days are obvious.  The Bible even quotes what the mockers will say, I paraphrase: "Things have been the same for a long time, when will he ever come?"  But be sure he will come and he will come when there is the least expectation of his coming here on earth.  God just wants to put those mockers out of the way so that his true f

In Preparation of the Coming of Jesus Christ (Philippians 4:4-7)

 Always be full of joy in the Lord.  I say it again---rejoice!  Let everyone see that you are considerate in all you do.  Remember, the Lord is coming soon.  Don't worry about anything; instead, pray about everything.  Tell God what you need, and thank him for what he has done.  If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand.  His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus. These are very simple and basic verses to follow and yet we fail so miserably at experiencing peace.  Why?  I would venture to suggest that it is probably because we focus on peace.  This old world likes to focus on the rewards rather than the process even to the point of disregarding the process altogether.  We have everything revolving around peace.  Yet the true peace from above comes through prayer. First of all though in this passage we are encourage to think of others through our joy and consideration in all we do.
