Smallest of all prophetic messages is the literary fragment, which was left by Obadiah. Only one chapter of his writings has survived. His message, which was spoken after the destruction of the first Temple, contains a promise of judgment against the kingdom of Edom. “On the day of the Lord’s Wrath,” prophesied Obadiah, “the house of Jacob would be a fire and the house of Edom would be devoured like stubble.”

When the enemy would suffer defeat, “saviors shall come up on Mount Zion and the kingdom shall be the Lord’s.” The words, “Ladonai Ham’lucha,” “the kingdom is the Lord’s,” dominate the window.
