Amos warns Israel that the Day of the LORD can be darkness and judgment; Obadiah announces that the Day of the LORD is near upon all nations.

Isaiah 34 moves from judgment on all nations to a concentrated oracle against Edom; Obadiah similarly moves from Edom to the Day of the LORD upon all nations.

Jeremiah 25 portrays the nations drinking the cup of the LORD’s wrath, beginning with Jerusalem; Obadiah 16 likewise uses drinking for the nations’ judgment.

Isaiah 51 portrays Jerusalem drinking the cup of divine wrath and then the cup passing to her tormentors; Obadiah 16 similarly juxtaposes drinking on God’s holy mountain with the nations drinking judgment.

Lamentations tells Edom to rejoice only for the moment because the cup of judgment will pass to her; Obadiah likewise announces that the Day of the LORD brings recompense to the nations, including Edom. The shared Edom-plus-cup reversal makes the canonical relationship especially strong.

Obadiah 17 says that on Mount Zion there will be deliverance; Joel 2:32 says that in Mount Zion and Jerusalem there will be deliverance “as the LORD hath said.”

Zephaniah and Obadiah belong to the same prophetic Day-of-the-LORD horizon: Zephaniah emphasizes the great Day as sweeping judgment, while Obadiah explicitly widens Edom’s case to “all nations.” Together they show the Day theme moving beyond one local crisis toward universal accountability before God.

Obadiah says the Day of the LORD is near upon all nations; 1 Thessalonians 5 carries the same Day-of-the-Lord horizon into Christian teaching about vigilance, wrath, and salvation. Paul explicitly centers escape from wrath in “our Lord Jesus Christ,” giving the prophetic Day theme a clear Christological horizon without quoting Obadiah directly.
