Obadiah 1
Edomites - Modern Jewbies
1The vision of Obadiah. Thus saith YHVH concerning Edom; We have heard a rumour from YHVH, and an ambassador is sent among the heathen, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her in battle.
2Behold, I have made thee small among the heathen: thou art greatly despised.
3The pride of thine heart hath deceived thee, thou that dwellest in the clefts of the rock, whose habitation is high; that saith in his heart, Who shall bring me down to the ground?
4Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith YHVH .
5If thieves came to thee, if robbers by night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not have stolen till they had enough? if the grape gatherers came to thee, would they not leave some grapes?
6How are the things of Esau searched out! how are his hidden things sought up!
7All the men of thy confederacy have brought thee even to the border: the men that were at peace with thee have deceived thee, and prevailed against thee; they that eat thy bread have laid a wound under thee: there is none understanding in him.

Bonus. In the pic above are two obvious eyes.
Obadiah was the family buggle tree for nearly ten years, named by Randy. He gave and got, a great many hugs, prayer hours, friendship, and doings. In point of fact, when Matt moved out in January 2020, the next day, a HUGE main branch broke off and landed right on the roof, right over where he slept, which was next to Obadiah. Then he dropped a bunch of leaves. He was broken hearted Matt had gone.

| Obadiah shed a third of himself. The jagged edges were trimmed back. |

| Obadiah main branch laying against roof. If you look with the eyes of your heart, he's crying. |
After, with branch removed. The hole that reminded me daily, Matt had left. Obadiah and I both wept and for a long while too.
You know what the owners did, first thing after I moved out? They cut Obadiah down, because he had become, over the years, A SACRED TREE dedicated to YHVH.
Guess what the spiritual estate of the owners were? You get only ONE guess.

| Tree spirits are a class of angel. They love. They mourn. They give. They receive. If you will have it. Everything is alive. Treat the living with love and respect and receive in kind. |
 |
| Dad always used white egrets to confirm a move of the family or a member. This one appeared on Jan 6th. So, I knew, for sure, Matt was moving out, hard by the door. |
Egrets. Every time I have ever had to move, since 2005, a white egret appeared, no matter where; desert, mountains, all over. Which was a great deal, sadly. He bounced to his mothers and a secular life and thence to sharing an apartment with his older brother, Nick.
January 2020 was quite a month. At home and in the world, what with the corona virus scam going down.
I often wonder how much of what is given over really lands on the reader. What a different life people would have if they just would treat the world around them with love and respect. Rather than violate it with scorn, disregard, and unholy doings.
I do what I do and that's all I can do.
What you do with it all is up to you.

I really miss that tree. I must have given a bazillion buggle hugs over the years. We all did. I used to just lean back against him and look out over the valley. He kept the ants away from that spot, I don't know how, but he did. Even friends sent me pics of him from the highway below, with comments about light beams coming from him and his BIG EYES.
Miss that guy. Sad day when they killed him. Only because I had loved him. Just to be mean and cruel.
The shites here have been trying to do the same thing with Michael, my huge Pine tree on the edge of the property, dozens of times, using city crews with bs reasons.
