Obadiah Video Teachings by Tom Bradford - Torah Class

Explore the prophetic Book of Obadiah through 6 in-depth MP4 video teachings by Tom Bradford from Torah Class.

Although Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, its message addresses important themes of divine judgment, pride, justice, and God's sovereignty over the nations.

The prophet's name, derived from the Hebrew Ovadiah, is commonly understood to mean "servant of the Lord." His prophecy primarily concerns Edom, a nation descended from Esau, and its actions against Judah.

Through biblical interpretation, original-language studies, Jewish history, and cultural context, Tom Bradford examines the relationship between Edom and Israel, the consequences of pride and hostility, and the prophetic promises concerning God's people.

His teaching approach emphasizes the Hebrew and Jewish background of Scripture, helping students better understand Obadiah's message within its original historical and biblical setting.
