"Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will be the LORD’s."
The book of Obadiah ends with a note of hope — the kingdom will be the LORD’s. His rule will be established, His justice complete, His peace unshakable.
This is the ultimate end of history: God reigning without rival, His people secure in His presence. For Edom, this meant the end of prideful opposition. For God’s people, it means the beginning of eternal joy.
In Christ, the kingdom has already broken in. He is the Deliverer who has ascended the true Mount Zion, bringing salvation for all who trust Him. And one day, His reign will be seen in all its fullness.
What hope does the promise of God’s final reign give you in the present?
Lord, thank You that the kingdom belongs to You. Help me live now in light of Your coming reign. Keep my eyes fixed on Jesus, my Deliverer. Amen.
