https://rumble.com/user/Amos37/channels The moment we push God away in our lives, we replace Him with other things or people. The same was true for the nation of Israel during the period of the judges. Fake gods replaced the one true living God. But as the Lord gave them over to their desires and delivered them into their enemies' hands, they cried out to Him. In this study, we follow the progression of the judges to a man named Jephthah, and we learn why it's crucial to truly know our God and His Word.

Book of Judges, Chapters 14 through 16: The life of Samson as a judge over Israel was marked with supernatural gifts from God Almighty and success, to a weakness that is common to all men. Beautiful women and pride, but God used it all. Samson's life is a warning of straying from God's provision. See also: Romans 6 Getting Victory over Sin:

https://rumble.com/user/Amos37/channels You might have all the natural advantage and spiritual privilege in the world, like Samson did, but that doesn't guarantee your spiritual success in life.

https://rumble.com/user/Amos37/channels The nation of Israel has declined politically, morally, and spiritually. The people of Israel are confused, conflicted, and ignorant. Chapter 17 ushers in the final section of the book of Judges in which the author recounts anecdotal evidence to demonstrate Israel's downturn. In this study, we see how dangerous it is to lose sight of our spiritual history and biblical prophecy. When we seek to know and understand biblical history, we are moved to obedience. When we study the prophetic Word of God, we have the confidence to face whatever the future holds.

Book of Judges, Chapters 19 to 21 ( Civil War, Benjamin Defeated). We can all learn from this portion of the Bible. This is a disturbing scenario that leads to Civil War, and the tribe of Benjamin is nearly wiped out. I find it interesting that until the rest of the Children of Israel "Fast and Pray", they are given victory. Three times God says, "Go up" to fight, and God will give victory. But they lost badly the first two times. A spiritual truth that Jesus would confirm about spiritual forces in the temptation in the wilderness, and dealing with demons, (Mark 9:17-29, and further explained in Ephesians 6:12) See also: Romans 6 Getting Victory over Sin:

https://rumble.com/user/Amos37/channels The book of Judges is a mark of the veracity of Scripture—the Bible doesn't hide the truth, no matter how bad the truth is. Israel in the time of the judges was a nation rife with anarchy, and this book is a stark contrast to the previous book and the following book: Joshua is about victory through faith. The book of Ruth is about God's providence during a time of perversion. Judges is about defeat through faithlessness—defeat through compromise.
