1 Peter Chapter 3 – A Detailed, Study Bible Commentary Photo by  iam_os  on  Unsplash I open 1 Peter chapter 3, I feel this strange mix of calm heaviness—like when you smell old paper in a Bible that’s been read too many times and you can almost taste the dust on the page. It’s one of those chapters that feels gentle and sharp at the same time. Soft like wool on the skin, but with a little thorn hiding in it. And honestly, that’s fitting, because Peter wrote to people walking through fire yet told them to answer with peace. Kinda wild. And so here we go, verse by verse, thought by thought, with those ancient Greek words whispering through the text like the sound of a slow wind moving through cedar trees, and sometimes I’ll dip into Hebrew roots where the ideas overlap—because the Bible breathes in both languages like lungs inhale and exhale. “Wives, likewise, be subject to your own husbands...” Greek key word: hypotassō (ὑποτάσσω) — “to arrange under, to willingly ...

  Obadiah Chapter 1 – Commentary and Explanation Photo by  Tingey Injury Law Firm  on  Unsplash “The Smallest Prophet with the Biggest Punch” Alright, let’s talk about Obadiah. Yeah… not the guy most people bring up in church small talk. He's often overlooked, tucked away in the dusty pages of the Old Testament, sandwiched between Amos and Jonah. You blink and you miss him. But don’t let that fool you. This one little chapter—it packs heat. One single chapter, but it's fierce. It's a warning. It’s a judgment. It’s a promise. And it’s a glimpse into the heart of God when it comes to pride, betrayal, and justice. Let’s break this thing down. Who Even Is Obadiah? That’s a good starting point. Who is Obadiah? Well, that’s a bit of a mystery. The name “Obadiah” means “servant of the Lord,” but there are like, a dozen Obadiahs mentioned in the Old Testament, and none of them are clearly this Obadiah. So we don’t know his background, hometown, family—nothing. He ju...

Introduction of the Book of Obadiah – Commentary and Explanation

Introduction of the Book of Obadiah – Commentary and Explanation Photo by Tingey Injury Law Firm on Unsplash Alright, let’s talk about a book you probably don’t hear much about. It’s short. Real short. Just one chapter , in fact. But don’t let that fool you. The Book of Obadiah might be the smallest book in the Old Testament, but it’s got a powerful punch. It’s not just some obscure prophetic rant tucked away in the dusty corners of Scripture. Nope. It’s relevant. It’s sharp. And it’s a message we still need to hear today. So, who was Obadiah? Why did he write this short but intense prophecy? And why should we care? That’s what this Study is all about. We’re gonna unpack it—bit by bit—and get to the heart of what God was saying back then... and what He’s still saying now. Who Was Obadiah? To be honest, we don’t know a whole lot about Obadiah. His name means "servant of the Lord" or “worshiper of Yahweh,” which is beautiful in itself. But there’s no big family history,...
