| 0:05.2 | Obediah 1 verse 15, for the day of the Lord is near upon all the nations. So what's interesting |
| 0:14.0 | about this Bible book, it's really only one chapter, is it is specifically focused on God's judgment |
| 0:22.6 | coming upon Adam, which is the nation made up of the descendants of Esau, think distant cousins |
| 0:29.7 | of the Israelites. And we see Adam mentioned at many different points and prophetic books |
| 0:37.8 | in the Old Testament. But here in Obediah, the focus is pretty much entirely devoted to God's |
| 0:45.9 | coming judgment upon Adam. And we get to this verse in verse 15 where it says the day of the |
| 0:52.4 | Lord is near, but listen to the phrase, not just upon Adam, the day of the Lord is near upon |
| 0:58.8 | all the nations. This verse, this Bible book is a reminder to us that all the nations, |

| 1:51.8 | think of countries today. It's talking about ethnic groups and languages and tribes and |
| 1:57.5 | peoples, all these different words that we see in different places in the Bible. And it's why |
| 2:02.6 | we pray for specific people groups. It's why in just a minute we're going to pray for the |
| 2:07.3 | Tim Katolek for the Tim Kodakoli people of Togo and Ghana and Benin, this small people group, |
| 2:16.7 | I say small, relatively small, hundreds of thousands of people in West Africa. And we're going |
| 2:22.5 | to pray for them like we pray most every day on this podcast because the Katolekoli people of |
| 2:30.0 | Togo and Ghana and Benin are going to stand before God is judge. And specifically we pray for them |
