0:00.0 | Hey Bible readers, I'm Tara Lee Cobble, and I'm your host for the Bible Recap. |
0:12.8 | Before we dig into our chapters today, let's zoom out a little on this situation to make sure |
0:17.4 | we're addressing some of the possible nuances of these prophecies. |
0:21.2 | Yesterday, we left off with Edom being turned into a sticky, smelly wasteland covered in weeds |
0:26.2 | and birds. It represented a kind of undoing of creation, much like the flood when God |
0:31.8 | destroyed Earth 1.0 and then opened Earth 2.0 for business. When God first made Earth 1.0, the words he used to describe it in Genesis 1-2 were |
0:41.4 | without form and void, shapeless and empty, basically. |
0:46.0 | The Hebrew words used here are Tohu and Bohu. |

1:23.8 | So to understand this section well, we have to ask, does this refer to the time around 700 |
1:28.4 | BC when this was written, or is this a future prophecy of the final days? |
1:33.7 | And if you had a chance to watch the short video we linked to about the Day of the Lord, |
1:37.5 | you may be wondering, is this A day of the Lord or is this THE day of the Lord? |
1:42.7 | If you missed that video, we'll link to it again in today's show notes. |
1:46.4 | A popular opinion among scholars is that it's both, judgment on the earth then and judgment |
