• We may distinguish between the past troubles of Edom, which the heathen or Gentiles inflicted, and a still more appalling one in the future, which seems distinguished in this brief prophecy, when by Israel as a whole mount Seir shall be given to desolation more than ever, because of the indignity they did to the sons of Zion, who shall then be saved and blessed....It is not the beginning that decides a war, but the end. And this is a grave thought for us to keep in view habitually in all our ways. (“Obadiah” by W. Kelly)
