3 Stories and 3 Swords
Othniel - 3:7-3:11
Cushan-rishathaim: Cushan of double wickedness
served 8 years
The Lord gave Cushan into Othniel’s hand
The land had rest 40 years
Othniel’s influence died with him
Ehud - 3:12-30
Eglon - king of Moabites
Moabites were to have been expelled
Ruth was a Moabitess
served 18 years
Ehud - a left-handed Benjamite
The land had rest 80 years
Ehud’s influence died with him
Deborah & Barak - ch 4 & 5
Jabin had iron chariots and oppressed the people cruelly for 20 years
Deborah was a prophetess
Miriam -
Anna
Deborah & Barak seem to share the judgeship
Whereas the people followed Ehud after he killed the king, Deborah directed and blessed Barak, Barak led the army, but Jael killed Sisera, the leader of the army.
The land had rest for 40 years
Deborah and Barak’s influence died with them
Jael received the glory
We NEED Jesus
judg 3:7
rom 1:
This is the first time humans decided they didn’t need God to know what was right or best; that we could come up with it on our own
ex 32:
We need Jesus as the Righteous Judge
We need Jesus as our deliverer
We ned the real Jesus
ex 32:
Unlike the 3 swords, His impact extends eternally, and He will receive ALL the glory!
The cost of our salvation
Othniel
judg 3:10
Ehud
Deborah (and Barak)
judg 4:22-24
…and the land had rest for forty years
10s of thousands dead for 160 years of peace
WWI (1914-1918) - 15-19M dead, 23M wounded for ~ 20 years of peace
1 cor
WWII (1939-1945) - 70M dead, 1950 Korean War begins
Yet none of these represent the greatest price paid
It was the only sinless, spotless lamb of God whose life was paid for our eternal peace!
May we see in the failure of the people, a warning for ourselves, our families, and our church.
May we see in these Judges our need of Jesus.
God grant us to remain faithful and to pass that heritage to our children.
