The Dark Days of Israel’s Judges A Study of the Book of Judges The Dark Days of Israel’s Judges A Study of the Book of Judges Lesson 7 Judges 6:1-35 First Things First September 27, 2009

I.Introduction A.I have a reputation for being harsh on some characters in the Bible (Jonah, Esther, Naomi). 1.But I must admit to having a certain sympathetic compassion towards Gideon. 2.There is a common thread running through Judges, as 2:10—3:5 summarizes. 3.But there are also unique elements, as we are about to see in the story of Gideon. 4.Our approach in this lesson

II.The Setting (Judges 6:1-6) A.Israel once again does evil in the sight of the Lord (6:1a). B.God gives Israel into the hands of the Midianites (6:1b). 1. Descendants of Abraham (Genesis 25:2-6) 2. They bought Joseph and took him to Egypt (Genesis 37:28, 36). 3. A kinship with Moses (Exodus 2:15-21) 4. Associated with Balak of Moab (Numbers 22:4-7; 25:6, 14) C.A different kind of oppression, causing the Israelites to cry out (6:2-6)

III.Israel’s Cry for Rescue; God’s Response is a Rebuke (6:7-10) A.God does not immediately send a deliverer, as before (see 3:9, 15; 4:3f.). B.Instead, God sends a prophet C.God’s past, powerful acts on Israel’s behalf are reviewed (6:8-10) D.The emphasis is on God’s great works (as opposed to the Canaanite gods – “I...”). E.The God who did all this also gave the Israelites a clear command not to worship the gods of the land, but Israel disobeyed (6:10). F.Note what isn’t said here. 1. No explicit call for repentance 2. No indication of repentance

IV. Between God and Gideon (6:11-27) A.Divine assurance (6:11-12) B.Gideon’s response (6:13) C.Why doesn’t Gideon get it? D.Further assurance (6:14) E.Gideon’s protest (6:15) F.Further assurance (6:16) G.Gideon’s request: “Give me a sign that it is really God speaking to me” (6:17-24). H.God’s instruction: “Make your private faith public” (6:25-26). I.Gideon’s fainthearted obedience (6:27)

V.Beyond Gideon: Preparing the Abiezrites to Fight the Midianites (6:28-35) A.Gideon’s actions come to light, and the Abiezrite clan takes a dim view (6:28-30). B.The Canaanization of these Israelites C.Joash (Gideon’s father) takes charge (6:31-32). D.The Abiezrites are now ready to fight (6:33-35). VI.Conclusion A.It all began with one man. B.The kind of people God chooses C.God uses a process to build leaders. D.Faltering obedience is obedience.

E.God ministers to others through our weakness. F.First things first – getting right with God before going to war. G.Privatizing faith: God doesn’t want “private” faith – Private faith must become public. H.Dealing with the problem of pluralism Copyright © 2009 by Robert L. Deffinbaugh.
