As you read the book of Obadiah in the Old Testament, just one chapter long, you’ll see the “Law of the Seed” presented vividly.  Listen to Obadiah 15, “The Day of the Lord is near for all nations.  As you have done it will be done to you.  Your deeds will return upon your own head.”  

Edom was a proud people.  Their valleys had rich soil.  Surrounding them were high, rugged mountains.  From these secure dwellings the Edomites went forth to plunder surrounding nations.  Israel was often their target.  When they struck and stole what they could they retreated to the safety of their cities. 

Obadiah points to their pride and declares their impressive strongholds would be destroyed by almighty God.  He predicted that what they did to others would one day be done to them.  History confirms the prediction.  I’ve personally seen the barren remains in the former rock fortress of Petra. 

The “Law of the Seed” still operates today, so take care what you sow.  In the book of Obadiah the “Law of the Seed” focuses on sowing destruction and reaping the consequences.  Galatians 6:7-8 says, “Do not be deceived; God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows, The one who sows to please his sinful nature, from that nature will reap destruction; the one who sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life.” 

Take your choice, the “Law of the Seed” works both ways.
