Judges 2

Judges 2:1

THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL ARE REBUKED FOR THEIR DISOBEDIENCEI believe that the “angel of the Lord” is none other than the pre-incarnate Christ. God appeared in a form that could be perceived by the human senses. Although He had always met the need of His people, they had not obeyed His voice. This is the beginning of Israel’s “hoop of history.” They repeated the weary round of forsaking God, sinning, being reduced to servitude by the enemy, returning to God in repentance, being delivered by God-appointed judges, back to obedience to God.

Judges 2:16

GOD RAISES UP JUDGESEach time the nation hit bottom, God raised up a judge to deliver them.
