Obadiah 1:1 [1] The writings of the prophets are not only valuable contributions to Old Testament history, but the reader is also enriched by familiarity with the forecasts of events which have been fulfilled, thus revealing the divine inspiration of the books and the wisdom and power of the God who prompted their writings.

Obadiah 1:10 [2] The Ammonites and Moabites, descendants of Lot and related to Israel, were forbidden to enter the congregation of the Lord, "even to their tenth generation," because they refused to assist the sons of Israel when they were escaping from Egypt, and because they hired Balaam to curse Israel (DEU 23:3, 4). The Israelites never assembled any closer to the sanctuary of the temple than in the court outside its door. No Jew, not even David was authorized to enter the sanctuary proper except for certain Levites to whom such service was assigned. But now, Jeremiah says, the forbidden pagan nations enter the Holy of Holies to vandalize.
