dc.description.abstract | Ethnic hatred has caused many lives on the African continent. In
many cases victims of ethnic hatred are left without hope for the
future. The book of Obadiah shows that there is hope for victims of
ethnic hatred. This article looks at the book from the viewpoint that
considers God's wrath and judgment on ethnic hatred, his assurance
of justice and his plan to give hope to victims of ethnic hatred.
Compared to Judah's misfortune, the Edomites used their advantage
to participate in the destruction of "a brother" nation. But God
would administer justice which would lead to the abasement of
Edom and offer hope to Judah. Victims of ethnic hatred in Africa
should console themselves with the fact that God will administer
justice that would see to the punishment of those who take
advantage of their condition and offer them (victims of ethnic
hatred) a better future. | en_US |
