How firm a foundation, ye saints of the Lord is laid for your faith in his excellent word.

When Esau despised his birthright, he declared that he didn't care about God at all.

And 1,200 years later, when his descendants had become a great people, they followed in his footsteps, declaring their ability to live without God.

Welcome to Through the Bible. I'm Steve Schwetz.

And our teacher, of course, is Dr. J. Vernon McGee.

And he's going to tell us how God deals with this

type of arrogance through the very unusual prophecy of Obadiah. But first, through the Bible's

President Greg Harris is here with me today to talk about our core values, one of them specifically.

Which, of course, is that we don't just teach the Bible Bible we teach the whole word of God and and we're

in Obadiah how many Christians as you say are those pages stuck together yeah so we got some

great letters that prove the value of this you want to start this first one yeah it's Jackson in

Georgia who let us know what Obadiah means to him I I am an 81-year-old on my first trip on the

Bible bus. In the summer of 2020, my Bible group leader called and told me to listen to a lesson on

Obadiah because it would help with our study of Genesis. As soon as I heard Dr. McGee's voice,

I knew it was what I had been looking for, a voice that spoke the truth about the scriptures.

My prayer to God since then has been to be allowed to live long enough to finish the five-year study.

Well, amen to that.

I have learned more from Dr. McGee than from all my Bible courses in college and seminary.

Seminary, wow.

And then he goes on, please use the enclosed as you see fit to continue Dr. McGee's work.

I thank all of you for your good work.

And that's powerful, because this is a man that probably was in ministry of some vocational ministry.
