Obadiah 1:17

"But in Mount Zion, there will be those who escape, and it will be holy. The house of Jacob will possess their possessions."

Key Reflection

In Obadiah 1:17-18, the spiritual meaning lies in the preservation and restoration of God's people. Those who remain faithful ("those who escape") in Mount Zion will be sanctified and inherit the blessings intended for them, including the reclamation of their ancestral lands and possessions lost to judgment.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

But (And) upon (in) Mount Zion, shall be deliverance, or, an escaped remnant, and there (and it) shall be holiness -The sifting times of the Church are the triumph of the world; the judgment of the world is the restoration of the Church. In the triumph of the world, the lot was cast on Jerusalem, her sons were carried captive and slain, her holy places were desecrated.
