Old Testament Readings
Which Are Never Read In A Roman Catholic Mass
Prophecy
Of Abdias
(Obadiah)
If one of the Faithful participates in a Roman Catholic Mass every single day of the year, for three years, he/she will hear a considerable part of the Holy Scriptures (New and Old Testaments) during these liturgies. However, many parts of the Holy Scripture will never be read in Mass; thus, they will not be heard by the most faithful of the Faithful unless they make a point of studying the Holy Scriptures.
In the four Gospels the omissions, in many cases, make sense, since the same story or parable appears in more than one Gospel. Although they do not necessarily appear in the same manner, the key concept is still transmitted to the Faithful. The real problem arises when major portions of the Old Testament are simply left out from what should have been the Evangelization Process.
Take the Books of the Major Prophets, for example. Most of their contents are not read in a Roman Catholic Mass. Thus, most of the Faithful are ignorant of their very important contents unless they have made an effort to study it on their own.
Through the Grace of God and the diligent work of Mrs. R. M., from Puerto Rico, we are able to bring to you today all verses from the Prophecy Of Abdias (Obadiah) which have been left out of the Roman Catholic Masses.
The on-line Douay-Rheims Version of the Holy Bible was used in the development of what we now call the "Inconvenient Bible".

[1]
The vision of Abdias. Thus saith the Lord God to Edom: We have heard a
rumour from the Lord, and he hath sent an ambassador to the nations:
Arise, and let us rise up to battle against him.
[2]
Behold I have made thee small among the nations: thou art exceeding
contemptible. [3] The pride of thy heart hath lifted thee up, who
dwellest in the clefts of the rocks, and
settest up thy throne on high: who sayest
in thy heart: Who shall bring me down to the ground? [4] Though thou be
exalted as an eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars: thence will I bring thee down,
saith the Lord.
[5]
If thieves had gone in to thee, if robbers by night, how wouldst thou have held thy peace?
would they not have stolen till they had enough?
if the grapegatherers had come in to thee,
would they not have left thee at the least a cluster? [6] How have they searched Esau, how have
they sought out his hidden things? [7] They have sent thee out even to the border: all the men of
thy confederacy have deceived thee: the men of thy peace have prevailed against thee: they that
eat with thee shall lay snares under thee: there is no wisdom in him.
[8]
Shall not I in that day, saith the Lord, destroy the wise out of Edom,
and understanding out of the mount of Esau? [9] And thy valiant men of the south shall be afraid,
that man may be cut off from the mount of Esau.
[10]
For the slaughter, and for the iniquity against thy brother Jacob, confusion shall cover thee, and
thou shalt perish for
ever.
[11]
In the day when thou stoodest against him, when strangers carried away
his army captive, and foreigners entered into his gates, and cast lots upon Jerusalem: thou also
wast as one of them.
[12]
But thou shalt not look on in the day of thy brother, in the day of
his leaving his country: and thou shalt not rejoice over the children
of Juda, in the day of their destruction: and thou
shalt not magnify thy mouth in the day of distress. [13] Neither
shalt thou enter into the gate of my people in the day of their ruin:
neither shalt thou also look on in his evils in the day of his
calamity: and thou shalt not be sent out against his army in the day
of his desolation. [14] Neither shalt thou stand in the crossways to
kill them that flee: and thou shalt not shut up them that remain of
him in the day of tribulation.
[15]
For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to
thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy own head. [16] For as you have drunk upon my holy mountain,
so all nations shall drink continually: and they shall drink, and sup up, and they shall be as
though they were not.
[17]
And in mount Sion shall be salvation, and it shall be holy, and the
house of Jacob shall possess those that possessed them. [18] And the house of Jacob shall be a
fire, and the house of Joseph a flame, and the house of Esau stubble: and they shall be kindled in
them, and shall devour them: and there shall be no remains of the house of Esau, for the Lord hath
spoken it.
[19]
And they that are toward the south, shall inherit the mount of Esau,
and they that are in the plains, the Philistines: and they shall possess the country of Ephraim,
and the country of Samaria: and Benjamin shall possess
Galaad.
