OUR FATHER WHO WILL BRING DOWN THE ENEMIES OF HIS PEOPLE FROM THEIR LOFTY PLACE
The book of Obadiah chapter 1 verse 4 says this;
Though you soar like the eagle and make your nest among the stars, from there I will bring you down,” declares the Lord.
This verse parralells Isaiah chapter 14 verses 14 - 15 where the king of Tyre is brought down into the pit from where he had perched himself above the clouds;
I will ascend above the tops of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.” But you are brought down to the realm of the dead, to the depths of the pit.
Obadiah's account describes the conquering and the takeover of the territory of Edom ( the kingdom the oppressors of God's people ) and the chapter culminates in verse 21 saying this;
Deliverers will go up on Mount Zion to govern the mountains of Esau. And the kingdom will be the Lord’s.
Amen.
