Obadiah is the shortest book in the Old Testament, but that does not take away from its value. It is, after all, the Word of God. 

We don’t really know who this Obadiah fellow was, though. Some think that he is the Obadiah that was a servant in Ahab’s household as in 1 Kings 18:3. If this is he, then he was the man who hid and fed the prophets spoken about in that chapter. Others think that this Obadiah was a man who lived some time later, at around the same time as Hosea, Joel and Amos. And still others believe that he lived around the time that the Edomites destroyed Jerusalem.

Regardless of when he lived, he was given the vision we heard about concerning Edom and the Day of the Lord.
