Obadiah的预言预示时候，当宗主以色列在巴勒斯坦人的手将被扩展现在包括土地基本上(告诉Edom和Esau在Obadiah)。 五个区域将被合并到以色列里适当[Oba 1:19 - 20] -北部乔丹(Gilead)的Gaza (Philistia在Obadiah)，王国和南乔丹(Esau山)，西岸(Ephraim和Samaria)和南黎巴嫩(北部对Zarephath)。

这在我给您的父亲”的土地代表God给的土地的未来恢复以色列的十二个部落， “您将居住。 (Ezekiel 36:28) Obadiah A特点是，它是从巴勒斯坦人比我们在南黎巴嫩恢复这些区域，不用上帝的可看见的帮助的以色列(*看笔记在末端)那里是无疑义补救由这些区域以色列将介入轰炸， shellings、火箭、坦克和职业由以色列地面部队，在大规模目击了。

此外，这些土地以色列补救将需要永久职业的以色列的意图。 这是那操作之间的关键的区别，并且什么是以色列的方法hithertoo。

毫无疑问黎巴嫩军队和联合国维护和平人员无法压制Hizb’阿拉和无法防止更加进一步打仗在黎巴嫩。 如果以色列必须一再侵略南黎巴嫩防止对它的土壤的火箭和边界攻击，您是否认为她在南黎巴嫩将决定停留的一天？ 当然。 下次？ 并且，当她决定这次我们将参加并且停留，第一个部分 Obadiah 1:20 will come to fruition.

And what about Gaza? How many times have Israeli forces been into Gaza in attempts to stop rocket attacks on south Israel? Sooner or later they will decide to stay!

Can you imagine the world’s hysterical reaction to such moves? The ravings in the UN will be awesome. The BBC will be enormously offended.
The Arabs thunderous rhetoric will be devastating. The Moslem world will apply yet more sanction.

Obadiah nominates five pieces of land to be attached to Israel. Do you think Israel could do it all at once? North, south, east and west? Not likely. Can you imagine the building crescendo of condemnations, accusations, inflammatory declarations. rantings, as Israel proceeds, step by step, to fulfil Obadiah’s prophecy.

The suggestion is that the UN will do nothing, as usual, but eventually will be forced to act against Israel. Two more prophecies now come into play. One is Isaiah 63, “I looked and there was none to help:” Israel is on its own and Zechariah 14:2-3, “I will gather all nations to the battle against Jerusalem….then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations”. Perhaps the UN may send a representative force of many nations, against Israel.

The eventual result is that the visible power of God is employed on Israel’s behalf and Jerusalem is established as an appropriate site for the centre of Jesus rule.

(* Notice that Isaiah 63 does describe God’s visible power in a final dealing with Edom and Bosrah, presumably due to Israel’s inability to complete the removal of the Palestinians. Obadiah’s list does not include Bashan, Reuben’s old land, now the Golan Hts claimed by Syria and not by the Palestinians. Bashan is apparently recovered in a separate action)
