Discuss Judges 21 Page 2

I think the key to this whole incident is found in the last verse: "every man did that which was right in his own eyes."

When we keep in mind what Jeremiah 17 says about the heart of man that it is deceitful above all things and desperately wicked, it is not surprising that man left to decide what is right in his own eyes, ignoring the clear laws of God, gets it totally wrong as both sides did.

When we fail to follow the commandments of God then we open to the temptations of the ruler of this world. This is a hard chapter to digest however it gives us a clear picture of what will happen when people are disobedient to God. God is still a loving and just God because He could have blotted out the whole tribe of Benjamin. He shows compassion on those who truly repent.

Franklin, the Israelites still had excellent spiritual leadership Phinehas the grandson of Moses' brother Aaron and other fine spiritual leaders by their faith the Ark of the covenant and the Holy Ghost was still with them. Read judges chapter 20. Glory be to God in the highest through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! Amen.

BIBLE VERSES ABOUT ONCE SAVED ALWAYS.

the other tribes of Israel Lamented for Benjamin meaning they still considered them a brother in Israel however they could not associate with them because as in the other chapters they did a detestable thing so they did not give their wives to the Benjamites

When we make any vow to God we must honour it Also we should learn to live by God s standard

Without the presence of God is utter confusion

1.how the Israel knew how to seek the face of God and how to do de extraordinary things.

2.They also did not give up after all the defeat.

3.After the victory they lent not to go back again and they overtook.

When we turn our eyes from God, we get confused and lost.

This chapter is one of the most interesting ones in the bible.
