Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Obadiah 1:21

_ _ saviours — There will be in the kingdom yet to come no king, but a prince; the sabbatic period of the judges will return (compare the phrase so frequent in Judges, only once found in the times of the kings, 2 Chronicles 14:1, “the land had rest”), when there was no visible king, but God reigned in the theocracy. Israelites, not strangers, shall dispense justice to a God-fearing people (Isaiah 1:26; Ezekiel 45:1-25). The judges were not such a burden to the people as the kings proved afterwards (1 Samuel 8:11-20). In their time the people more readily repented than under the kings (compare 2 Chronicles 15:17), [Roos]. Judges were from time to time raised up as saviours or deliverers of Israel from the enemy. These, and the similar deliverers in the long subsequent age of Antiochus, the Maccabees, who conquered the Idumeans (as here foretold, compare 2 Maccabees 10:15, 23), were types of the peaceful period yet to come to Israel.

_ _ to judge ... Esauto punish (so “judge,” 1 Samuel 3:13) ... Edom (compare Obadiah 1:1-9, Obadiah 1:15-19). Edom is the type of Israel’s and God’s last foes (Isaiah 63:1-4).

_ _ kingdom shall be the Lord’s — under Messiah (Daniel 2:44; Daniel 7:14, Daniel 7:27; Zechariah 14:9; Luke 1:33; Revelation 11:15; Revelation 19:6).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Obadiah 1:17-21.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Obadiah 1:21

Saviours — Deliverers, literally the leaders of those captive troops, who shall come up from Babylon, such as Zerubbabel, Ezra, and Nehemiah. Mystically, Christ and his apostles, and other preachers of the gospel. To judge — To avenge Israel upon Edom. The Lord's — The God of Israel, Jehovah, shall be honoured, obeyed, and worshipped by all.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Obadiah 1:21

And (q) saviours shall come up on mount Zion to judge the mount of Esau; and the kingdom shall be the LORD'S.

(q) Meaning that God will raise up in his Church those who will rule and govern for the defence of it, and for the destruction of his enemies under the Messiah, whom the Prophet here calls the Lord and head of this kingdom.
