Judges 17-19: The Dark Days of Israel
Listen now
Description
In Chapters 17-19 of the Book of Judges, we delve into the grim realities of a time when Israel had lost its moral compass. These chapters offer a street-level perspective on the chaotic lives of the people, each person living as they saw fit. We begin with the story of Micah, a man who attempted to manipulate God's favor through a lost Levite. However, the Levite's stay was short-lived, and he eventually departed, leading to further loss and confusion. The tribe of Dan, equally lost, had also lost their land and seemed to have lost their connection to God. As the narrative unfolds, we encounter another Levite who makes a horrifying decision. In a desperate attempt to save himself from a gang of rapists, he sacrifices his concubine, a deeply disturbing act that reveals the depths of moral decay and depravity that had engulfed the land during these dark days of Israel.
