One message that Obadiah delivers to the 21st century world is that Gosd is very much aware of all that is happening in the world. The genocide in Congo has not esacped God's notice. The pirates of Solmolia do not sail freely away from God. I think Obadiah also explains God's reason for delaying his intervention: "on that day". Twice Obadiah mention the day of God's judgement and he relates that Edoms actions form another day will be accounteds on that day. We live in a time where many believe that God either does not exist or care or even notice. But another possibility is that God is strengthening his people to share his message and allow the world to respond to his truth.
It took me about 6 minutes to read Obadiah's vision.
