Barak

Isreal feared iron chariots, and Barak is called to step in, but his involvement is conditional and indecisive

How much faith do we need?

Hebrews 11:32 ESV

32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets—

Enough to be used, BUT

Gideon - did give God all the credit, or his heart.

Barak - lacked decisive action

Background

Israel didn’t follow through with claiming the promise land. The land of milk and honey is not going the way the thought.

900 Chariots - like tanks but for killing felling enemies

Deborah - Woman Prophetess, Same function as the Angel of the Lord with Gideon. God uses the “weaker” to confound (stun) the wise & mighty.
