Above therefore are the exact words of the LORD God through Obadiah the Prophet to a tiny nation. Intriguingly, Jesus, around AD 30 referred to the Law and the Prophets – including Obadiah – in this way: “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.”
