Obadiah 1:15-17
"15 “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head. 17 “But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions."
"15 “For the day of the Lord upon all the nations is near; as you have done, it shall be done to you; your reprisal shall return upon your own head. 17 “But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, and there shall be holiness; the house of Jacob shall possess their possessions."
Matthew 7:1-2 1 “Judge not, that you be not judged. 2 For with what judgment you judge, you will be judged; and with the measure you use, it will be measured back to you."
Judgement in the sense of condemning, not discerning, comes back on all but the Righteous Judge, Jesus Christ, to whom it belongs. He offers deliverance from eternal judgement and forgiveness here and now. We are to discern for the good of others in humility in the church, leaving those outside with no eternal justification to Him who judges rightly. So let us be holy, as He is, but humble because we are not Him.
