November 19, Prophet, Αβδίας
The holy prophet Abdias, called Obadiah in the Hebrew Scriptures, is one of the twelve minor prophets, and his book is the shortest in the Old Testament. In it he pronounces the judgment of God upon Edom for its pride and its violence against Israel, and he foretells the day of the Lord and the deliverance that shall be upon Mount Zion.
