THE REAL MEANING OF LIFE

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 300 men would be needed to defeat the Midianites. Had the entire Israel army went to battle and won, they… 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 harvest time, they would have to hide to thresh the grain and hide it from the Midianites. Once again, God… 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 of the community to talk about their various occupants. And of course, there were two fireman that came and talked… 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 this is the first time in the Bible we see a woman taking a lead position. It doesn’t mean women… 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 faith, I consider myself a “spiritual Jew” because Christ was a Jew and as “Christians” who follow Christ, I feel… 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. What I tend to believe is that God fully had the power to eradicate the pagans, but He chose not… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/2.htm I usually refer to this webpage to get an idea of the timeline of the events of the Bible. https://timeline.biblehistory.com/home. And while it is a good reference, it is just that, a reference. It was developed using scripture, the ages of those mentioned in the Bible, then working backwards from the birth of Jesus to Creation. But it is just an estimate, I have no idea how they calculated years back then or even… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/1.htm After a short chronological detour to the end of the Book of Judges, we now return to Chapter 1 to continue our study. As I’ve said before, the children of Israel were indeed fruitful and multiplied greatly, and sin had increased dramatically as well. God had set judges over the children of Israel, much as Moses and Joshua had served as judges. After the death of Joshua, the children of Israel continued their efforts… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/20.htm In Chapter 20, we read where the Levite’s concubine was raped and killed by the men of the tribe of Benjamin in Gibeah, and the Levite cut her into 12 pieces and sent a piece each to the 12 tribes. And when the tribes heard about the rape and murder, they gathered together to demand who was accountable for the crimes.. And when they heard that it was the tribe of Benjamin, they gathers… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/judges/19.htm Who loves a good horror story? Well, buckle up. I’m not sure any modern day horror story can rival this. And I’ll just tell you the lesson I got from this at the onset, and not wait until the end. Now I don’t want my take on this to influence you; by all means, read it for yourself, pray about it, ask God for instruction and understanding. Over the last 66 years of my… Continue reading
