Picture for Day 347

Today’s story

Obadiah condemns Edom’s pride and violence against Judah. Nations rise and fall, but the kingdom ultimately belongs to the Lord.

John is taken into heaven and sees the throne. Everything centers on God’s holiness, worthiness, and creative authority.

God’s covenant with David and His choice of Zion point toward a lasting King and dwelling place. Proverb Summary Fear of people is a trap; trusting the Lord brings safety. Discover Jesus Jesus is the promised Son of David, and Revelation teaches us to interpret earthly chaos from the throne room - not the other way around. Reflect Whose approval am I more afraid to lose than God’s? Fellowship Read Revelation 4 aloud and name what changes when God’s throne becomes the center of our perspective.

The story in children’s words

Obadiah spoke God's word against Edom, the people of Esau's family. Edom was proud and lived high in the rocks, and when their brother Jacob's people were in trouble, Edom stood by and was even glad. God said pride had tricked Edom, and He would bring them down, but on Mount Zion there would be people who escaped and were safe. At the end, the kingdom would be the LORD's. Then John saw a door open in heaven and a throne, with a rainbow all around it. Twenty-four elders in white bowed down, threw their crowns before the throne, and sang, "Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty." God made all things, and one day His King Jesus will rule the kingdom that is the LORD's forever.
