Disaster and Deliverance, these two words sum up something
of the message of both Joel and Obadiah. In Joel, the prophet
begins by announcing a disaster in terms of a locust invasion,
which has affected Judah. This, however, is but the pretext for
warning of an even greater disaster on the horizon for Judah.
Nevertheless, the prophet holds out the prospect of
deliverance. In the case of Obadiah, the focus is on Edom.
