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 |

Hello Frank, The significance of Obed-Edom can be understood from 2 Sam. 6:5-15. Specifically, verse 11 tells us that the ark was "in the house of Obed-edom...three months, and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and his household".(ESV). Verse 12 gives us the significance, "...The LORD has blessed the household of Obed-edom and all that belongs to him, because of the ark of God..." (ESV). Any deeper revelation should be sought from prayer- certainly- and study of the Word of God! Be careful of "visions" as they are both subjective and extra-Biblical! Sola Scriptura! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |

How are dreams and visions not scriptural? Joel, Daniel, Joseph, etc... either had prophesied or interpreted the things of God through dreams and visions. | ||||||

Dear fgravagna, Brad is a dear brother, who loves the Lord deeply, and reflects that in his careful and diligent study of the Word. He will, no doubt, render a good answer. Until then, please permit me to comment: Yes, God has granted men visions. However, you will note that each of the men you mentioned, and the forty or so others you do not mention, represent a very tiny fraction of all humanity. God has given us His holy, authoritative (see thread #195864), inerrant (#155648), infallible (#181426), necessary (#195840), clear (#156917), and sufficient (#195841) Word. The canon is closed. The church no longer awaits further revelation from anyone. Your desire for personal revelation is a common one through the centuries. The church has dealt with it over and over again. Dr. James I. Packer wrote of it relative to the great divine John Owen (1560–1622), who dealt with it even back in the 16th century. "Once the Scriptures were written, and the prophetic and apostolic witness to Christ was complete, no need remained for private revelation of new truths, and [John] Owen did not believe that any were given. He opposed the 'enthusiasm' of those who, like the Quakers, put their trust in supposed revelations taken apart from, and going beyond, the Word. ...Owen calls the Quakers... 'fanatics', for their attitude. He is quick to deploy against them the old dilemma that if their 'private revelations' agree with Scripture, they are needless, and if they disagree, they are false." Please keep in mind that this forum is based on the doctrine of sola Scriptura. If you would like to better understand that doctrine, I would commend you to the following article, which explains the doctrine in very perspicuous modern language. http://www.biblicalstudies.org.uk/article_sola_sproul.html In Him, Doc |
