Year in the Bible Week 14

Gideon Overcoming the Midianites by Peter Paul Rubens (ca. 1650)

Wow! it’s week 14! So much, happening so fast. The book of Judges is a wild time. Let’s go to the Bible Project video to help break it down. This will help us for the next couple weeks.

This era of the chosen people’s history might look like a time when they were doing things in spite of the God they worshipped., but this isn’t just a disobedient nation. It is a nation that has forgotten who their God is. It is likely that these ways to worship God were only practiced locally and sporadically, since nothing is written about about festivals or sacrifices, or even the Sabbath. I know it’s hard to be in this spot in the Easter season, but allow me to give you a preview of what’s coming! In a few short days Ruth and Boaz will begin the line of David, and ultimately Jesus. As Boaz rescued Ruth, so would Jesus rescue all of us. Praise God for his mercy, and for the wisdom of his plan!
