Read Obadiah 1 in context

Scripture Focus

15For the day of the LORD is near upon all the heathen: as thou hast done, it shall be done unto thee: thy reward shall return upon thine own head.

16For as ye have drunk upon my holy mountain, so shall all the heathen drink continually, yea, they shall drink, and they shall swallow down, and they shall be as though they had not been.

Obadiah 1:15-16

Biblical Context

Obadiah 1:15-16 speaks of universal judgment: what you have done to others returns to you, and nations mirror the state of their inner worship.

Neville's Inner Vision

To me, the 'day of the LORD' is the moment you awaken to the I AM within; the heathen are the fluctuating moods and opinions of your own consciousness. The verse is not a threat but a counsel: whatever you have sown in your inner terrain, you will reap in your outer theater. When it says you have drunk on my holy mountain, it speaks to the habit of worshiping a belief and then tasting its consequences in your life. You are not punished by some external judge; you experience the return of your own inner vibration as events and reactions. Therefore, you can invert the sense of retribution by reimagining the inner cause. Decide that you have already moved into a state of justice, gratitude, and harmony, and dwell there in imagination until it feels real in the body. The Lord God is your awareness; its power is yours to use, here and now, to fashion a world that reflects your settled state.
