Obadiah.
The book of Obadiah has a single theme - judgment upon Edom, the nation that was descended from Esau. The Edomites were trying to control trade routes, and would often go out on raiding expeditions and then retreat to their capital, Sela (now known as Petra). Petra was cut out of solid cliffs of rose-colored rock, and overlooked a valley of marvelous beauty. There was only one path in, through a narrow path that would require even a large army to enter single file. The Edomites felt secure in their stronghold, and it seemed unlikely that harm could come to them.
Obadiah prophecied the complete destruction of the Edomites (vv. 10, 16, 18), and that a remnant of Judah would be saved (vv. 17, 19, 21). History has shown the prophecy was fulfilled precisely as Obadiah said it would happen.
