We now turn to the book of Judges to understand the heart of God in delivering Israel from their wayward heart. The condition of Israel at that time is summarized best in chapter 2. There we read that the people served the Lord all the days of Joshua and all the days of the elders who survived Joshua, but then it says, “There arose another generation after them who did not know the Lord, nor yet the work which he had done for Israel.”
That was the problem, the next generations hadn’t experienced the miracles of God as the generations before them had and so they did not know the Lord. That is the key phrase. They didn’t know the Lord and so they didn’t follow after Him with all their heart, soul, mind and strength as Joshua’s generation had heard so many times that they must do. Joshua admonished the people that they should cling to the Lord and to take diligent heed to love the Lord.
So the book of Judges is really about the lessons of unfaithfulness. They were unfaithful and then, sure enough, just as God had forewarned them, life became extremely difficult. It would finally get so bad that they would cry out to the Lord.
What is amazing is that each time they cried out to the Lord, He would answer by sending them a deliverer, a judge, to rescue them from their oppression. They would then follow the Lord while that deliverer was alive, but then they would fall back to the ways of the world, of the gods of the nations that remained among them. We see here another cause of their failure, they didn’t fully follow the Lord in removing the pockets of worldliness that remained among them and so they became a snare to them and thorns to their sides. It was these foreign gods would seem to trip them up over and over.
So here is the story of a time of oppression and in their distress they called out to God and God sent a deliverer, but a more unlikely deliverer would be hard to find.
