1 | What is the significance of Obed Edom? D | Bible general Archive 4 | fgravagna | 196361 | ||
What is the significance of Obed Edom? David brought the ark to his home where it dwelt for three months and Obed Edom was greatly blessed. 1 Chron. 13:13-14, 2 Samuel 6:10-12. I am seeking deeper revelation in prayer as the Lord spoke this to me repeatedly following a vision that I actually got up to write it all down. Thank you and God bless you. Frank |

Dear fgravagna, Welcome to the forum! The terms you use, "significance" and "deeper revelation" indicate that your understanding of Scripture is allegorical. The forum is founded on the doctrine of sola Scriptura. Consequently, we'd not be interested in extra Biblical sources of divine communication, nor would we want to encourage the believe in such things. We can help you, however, adjust your presuppositions so that they accurately reflect the Biblical message. In Him, Doc |

Let me clarify significance then. The mere fact that he's mentioned in the word makes him significant.Signifigance as it pertains to the fact that David delivered the ark to him specifically.He was a Levite descendant as well. | ||||||

Dear fgravagna, There is an unwritten convention on the forum to use the "Question" button only when addressing the forum as a whole. Follow-up questions and comments addressed to individuals should use the "Note" button. The individual you're addressing will receive notification. This practice keeps the home page clear. Thank you for clarifying your use of the word "significance." I think we can conclude from this passage that the presence of God brings blessedness. The blessings that Obededom experienced were certainly of such a nature that it was clear to everyone that their source was divine. I'd deem that they were more than just blessings of a temporal nature, but of a spiritual nature as well; for David, who was not in need of material blessings, acts so hastily in moving the ark to Jerusalem (2 Samuel 6:12), whereas before he was feared moving it (v9). Further good questions would be: What does this passage tell us about God? (See post #157733) In Him, Doc |
