Obadiah 1
Edomites - Modern Jewbies
1The
vision of Obadiah. Thus saith YHVH concerning Edom; We have
heard a rumour from YHVH, and an ambassador is sent among the
heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3The
pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the
clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart,
Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith YHVH .
5If
thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!)
would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape gatherers
came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7All
the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the
men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed
against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee:
there is none understanding in him.

Bonus. In the pic above are two obvious eyes.
Obadiah
was the family buggle tree for nearly ten years, named by Randy. He
gave and got, a great many hugs, prayer hours, friendship, and doings.
In point of fact, when Matt moved out in January 2020, the next day, a
HUGE main branch broke off and landed right on the roof, right over
where he slept, which was next to Obadiah. Then he dropped a bunch of
leaves. He was broken hearted Matt had gone.

| Obadiah shed a third of himself. The jagged edges were trimmed back. |

After, with branch removed. The hole that reminded me daily, Matt had left. Obadiah and I both wept and for a long while too.
You
know what the owners did, first thing after I moved out? They cut
Obadiah down, because he had become, over the years, A SACRED TREE
dedicated to YHVH.
Guess what the spiritual estate of the owners were? You get only ONE guess.

spirits are a class of angel. They love. They mourn. They give. They
receive. If you will have it. Everything is alive. Treat the living with
love and respect and receive in kind. |
I
often wonder how much of what is given over really lands on the reader.
What a different life people would have if they just would treat the
world around them with love and respect. Rather than violate it with
scorn, disregard, and unholy doings.
I do what I do and that's all I can do.
What you do with it all is up to you.
