[1] {standing}
The position of the Lord (Adonai) is significant. The altar speaks
properly of mercy because of judgement executed upon an interposed
sacrifice, but when altar and sacrifice are despised the altar becomes a

Scofield Reference Notes (1917) Book Introductions OBADIAH
Internal evidence seems to fix the date of Obadiah's ministry in the reign
of the bloody Athaliah
# 2Ki 8:16-26
If this be true, and if the ministry of Joel was during the reign of
Joash, then Obadiah is chronologically first of the writing prophets,
and first to use the formula, "the day of the Lord." (Cf.)

The book is in four parts: I. Edom's humiliation, vs. 1-9. II. The

in the future kingdom, vs. 17-21 (Num 24.17-19)

Scofield Reference Notes (1917) Book Introductions JONAH
The historical character of the man Jonah is vouched for by Jesus Christ
# Mt 12:39-41
as also that his preservation in the great fish was a
"sign" or type of the Lord's own entombment and resurrection. Both are
miraculous and both are equally credible.
# 2Ki 14:25
records the fulfilment of a prophecy by Jonah. The man himself was
a bigoted Jew, unwilling to testify to a Gentile city, and angry that
God had spared it. Typically he foreshadows the nation of Israel out
of its own land; a trouble to the Gentiles, yet witnessing to them;
cast out by them, but miraculously preserved; in their future deepest
distress calling upon Jehovah-Saviour, and finding deliverance, and then
becoming missionaries to the Gentiles.
# Zec 8:7-23
He typifies Christ as the Sent One, raised from the dead, and carrying
salvation to the Gentiles. The chapter divisions indicate the analysis
of Jonah.
