• Thus it would appear from Ezekiel 25 that the divine vengeance on mount Seir and the Edomites is to be by the hand of Israel. And the great burden of all the numerous prophetic warnings is that the presence of Jehovah is to be manifested in it; next, that it will be at the time when all nations and all the earth are to come under the hand of God: and thirdly, that the epoch of the judgment is to be just when blessing comes beyond example and unchangeably to Israel and to the earth in general. Compare Isaiah 11; 34; Lamentations 4:21-22; Ezekiel 25; 35; Isaiah 63:3in no way excludes (what is elsewhere affirmed) that Jehovah will execute His judgment through Israel; for “of the people” should be understood “of the peoples” or nations, without including Israel amongst them. (“Obadiah” by W. Kelly)
• At that time, Israel will be given the opportunity to extinguish any remaining Edomites until every last one will be cut off from the earth. “There shall not be any remaining of the house of Esau” (vs. 18). (“The Prophecies of Obadiah” by B. Anstey)
