https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/12.htm Some things you just cannot comprehend. I’m sure there is some theologian that can explain it, but then it would be the interpretation of man, which may not be correct. The Bible doesn’t say exactly why Ephraim was upset with Jephthah for not calling on them to help fight the Ammonites. But what is Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/11.htm What a story we have in this study of the Book of Judges. There was a Gilead named Jephthah who was the son of a harlot, and in this case, we should take the word “harlot” to be a prostitute. Remember in the story of Rahab of Jericho, sometimes a “harlot” could also mean Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/10.htm Some of the stories of judges are in depth, some are very brief. And the first story in this chapter is about a judge named Tola, and is extremely brief. But stories like this are always a good example to learn more about the history that is in the Bible, world history, our history. Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/9.htm Lying. Envy. Covetousness. Treachery. Deceit. Murder. Arson. I think we’ve covered it all in this chapter. Gideon’s sin was making the ephod that the children of Israel worshiped. But Gideon was still a man of God; when the people asked him and his sons to rule over them, Gideon told them that no one Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/7.htm In chapter 7, we read of the battle between Israel and the Midianites, and there were thousands upon thousands of Midianite soldiers. Now God wanted to prevent the army of Israel from being prideful, so He instructed Gideon to narrow the army down to 300 men. God was with them, and knew that only Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/6.htm The Midianites attack Israel. If you remember, Midian is the land where Moses fled to after he killed the Egyptian slave master and left Egypt. The country is now likely southern Jordan or far northwest Saudi Arabia. The Midianites would raid the country, robbing the people of Israel of all of their food. At Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/5.htm I had wanted to be a fireman since I was five years old, maybe younger. I have many stories throughout my childhood that reinforced my desire, but the big turning point was in my Freshman year when, in Civics class, our teacher spent and entire 9 week period reviewing different occupations, bringing in members Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/4.htm The Bible is full of scripture that makes it sound as if man dominates woman, but that is certainly not the case. I can start to ramble about my beliefs of the relationship between man and woman, but that is not what this chapter is about. The only reason I mention it is because Continue reading

If you’ve just came across my page, or have been following and I’ve confused you, let me restate the purpose of this. First, allow to say;1. I’m not an ordained minister2. I have no ministry3. I’m not associated with any certain denomination4. I consider myself a “Bible Christian”, and while I’m not of the Jewish Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/3.htm Chapter 3 starts out listing the pagans that remained in Canaan that the children of Israel failed to move out. Scripture says that “God tested” the children of Israel, but I’m not sure that that is wholly true. Since God is like Jesus, I can’t see Jesus intentionally testing the faithfulness of His children.
