AMERICAN CHRISTIAN #24
Judges 20-21
War is waged against the tribe of Benjamin for a horrific act that was carried out in Gibeah, the rape and murder of a young concubine. All who heard said there was no such deed done or seen from the day that the Israelites came up out of the land of Egypt to this day! All of Israel, from Dan to Beersheba, along with all the leaders of the people, and of all the people stood united in going up against the tribe of Benjamin. In the confrontation, Benjamin doesn’t surrender their offenders, instead they chose to fight and defend their tribesmen. Also, Doc explains who the “Sons of Belial” are, a worthless and wicked, evilness identified with Satan; actually, it’s personification of all that is evil, still in existence today. The battle is waged three times, the first two defeats are handed to Israel, but they do not walk away, they humble themselves before the Lord. Through praying and fasting, by seeking the Lord as they were taught by Moses and the law, they are given the victory. We also discuss the oath taken by Israel in chapter 21 of Judges pertaining to the remnant of Benjamin.
