APRIL 21, 2017: The Cincinnati East, Ohio, congregation of the United Church of God is continuing its bi-weekly Beyond Today Bible study series titled: “The Minor Prophets.” Part 11 will be given on Wednesday, April 26, at the time of 7 p.m. ET and will be available live via webcast.

For the eleventh study, Gary Petty, a presenter on Beyond Today Television and Nashville, Tennessee, pastor, will present “Obadiah: God's Message to Edom.”

The smallest book in the Old Testament may also be one of the least known prophecies. Obadiah was sent to declare God’s judgment on Edom—the descendants of Esau. The Edomites are accused of cruelty and supporting Israel’s enemies. Because of this they will suffer God’s wrath at the “day of the LORD” that comes on all nations. To understand this future judgment on the Edomites we need to recount the history between Israel and the Edomites and the future events that will culminate in the coming of the Messiah.

Plan to attend in person, or you can listen online. You can also view the Bible study using your smartphone Internet browser. And, the Bible study webcast can be watched LIVE on Beyond Today apps on Roku, Apple TV, Amazon Fire TV and Samsung Smart TVs.
