1
00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:03,200
Speaker 1: And when the children of Israel cried unto the Lord,

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,360
Speaker 1: the Lord raised up a deliverer to the children of Israel,

3
00:00:07,680 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: who delivered them, even Athniel, the son of Canaz, Caleb's

4
00:00:12,880 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 1: younger brother Judges three nine. Dear God, as I meditate

5
00:00:19,239 --> 00:00:22,799
Speaker 1: on today's reading of Judges two to three, I ask

6
00:00:22,920 --> 00:00:25,959
Speaker 1: Lord that you make me like the mighty men and

7
00:00:26,040 --> 00:00:29,720
Speaker 1: women of Judges who were used to deliver your children

8
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:33,559
Speaker 1: from the hands of the enemy. Quicken my heart and

9
00:00:33,720 --> 00:00:37,559
Speaker 1: strengthen my hands so that I can take on the

10
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 1: honor of being used to bring freedom and break through

11
00:00:42,120 --> 00:00:46,040
Speaker 1: to those who are hurting and in bondage. Raise me

12
00:00:46,200 --> 00:00:50,000
Speaker 1: up like Athniel. Let your spirit come upon me as

13
00:00:50,040 --> 00:00:55,920
Speaker 1: I continue to win battles and take territory for your kingdom. Next,

14
00:00:56,520 --> 00:00:59,880
Speaker 1: I thank you that you are giving me the boldness

15
00:00:59,880 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 1: of the Hut so that I can face my oppressor

16
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:08,520
Speaker 1: head on and without fear. Give me divine strategy today

17
00:01:09,160 --> 00:01:12,000
Speaker 1: so that I know where my enemy's weak points are.

18
00:01:13,560 --> 00:01:17,520
Speaker 1: Thank you for inside information that will insure the victory

19
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:21,679
Speaker 1: for me and for all of your children. Shout out

20
00:01:21,720 --> 00:01:26,280
Speaker 1: loud and declare that you have given us complete victory

21
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:32,640
Speaker 1: over all of our enemies. Thank you for rest and restoration,

22
00:01:34,160 --> 00:01:40,880
Speaker 1: and Jesus name, Amen, thank you for making prayer a

23
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,319
Speaker 1: priority in your day. To learn more about the Bible,

24
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: stay tuned for today's story, brought to you by Bible

25
00:01:48,400 --> 00:02:00,840
Speaker 1: in a Year dot Com. Rescuing Judges. The generation of

26
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,880
Speaker 1: Joshua had passed and Israel made a home for themselves

27
00:02:04,880 --> 00:02:08,120
Speaker 1: in their new land. The gods of the other kingdoms

28
00:02:08,280 --> 00:02:12,120
Speaker 1: surrounding Israel made their way into their hearts, and they

29
00:02:12,200 --> 00:02:16,040
Speaker 1: turned their backs on God. In this story, we will

30
00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 1: learn how God heard the cries of Israel as he

31
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:22,840
Speaker 1: did once in Egypt, only now instead of sending Moses,

32
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:28,240
Speaker 1: he sent his judges, mighty heroes of great courage. Inspired

33
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:34,240
Speaker 1: by the Book of Juches, Hello, I'm Pastor Jack Graham

34
00:02:34,280 --> 00:02:37,239
Speaker 1: with today's episode of the Bible in a Year podcast.

35
00:02:37,720 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: In today's reading, we concluded the story of Job and

36
00:02:40,600 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: learned how God restored Job to health and wealth, giving

37
00:02:44,120 --> 00:02:47,799
Speaker 1: him more than even he had lost. Today we returned

38
00:02:47,840 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: to the story of Israel. The hearts of God's people

39
00:02:51,040 --> 00:02:54,400
Speaker 1: have turned to other gods, and rather than influencing the

40
00:02:54,440 --> 00:02:58,160
Speaker 1: culture around them, they were letting the pagan cultures. The

41
00:02:58,240 --> 00:03:05,400
Speaker 1: unbelieving cultures shape corrupt them. Soon they find themselves enslaved again.

42
00:03:06,320 --> 00:03:09,560
Speaker 1: It is the result of their unfaithfulness to God and

43
00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:14,640
Speaker 1: their forgetful hearts. But as will learn again today, God

44
00:03:14,760 --> 00:03:17,840
Speaker 1: is not about to abandon his children. He will hear

45
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:21,239
Speaker 1: their cries and come to their rescue just in time.

46
00:03:21,760 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 1: So let's listen now to today's reading. Truth had been forsaken,

47
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,720
Speaker 1: The generation that fought for the promised Land had passed away.

48
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:35,960
Speaker 1: God's mighty acts had been buried and forgotten with the past.

49
00:03:36,680 --> 00:03:40,280
Speaker 1: Now Israel lived in comfort, sinning on the graves of

50
00:03:40,280 --> 00:03:44,040
Speaker 1: those who bled before them. Israel abandoned the Lord and

51
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:47,880
Speaker 1: adopted the gods of the natives. Since they forsook God,

52
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:52,320
Speaker 1: all their military exploits went without victory. In vain, they

53
00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:55,320
Speaker 1: marched to conquer new lands, but they were left with

54
00:03:55,440 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: heartache and bloodshed. Israel spiraled into a whirlpool of de feat.

55
00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: They had forgotten that Israel's strength was not in their

56
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:09,000
Speaker 1: military might, but in the sovereignty of God. Weakened and distressed,

57
00:04:09,280 --> 00:04:13,760
Speaker 1: Israel was vulnerable to outside attacks. Other nations would descend

58
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: upon the people and plunder them. Women and children were

59
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: stolen in the dead of night, homes were set ablaze,

60
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:23,400
Speaker 1: and their food and live stock was taken. So God

61
00:04:23,520 --> 00:04:26,840
Speaker 1: raised up mighty men and women of valor, those who

62
00:04:26,880 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: would save them and bring them out of oppression. Yet

63
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,760
Speaker 1: Israel would not bow to them. They hoard themselves to

64
00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: other gods and did only what seemed to write in

65
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:40,200
Speaker 1: their own eyes. Yet God would not relent in his

66
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:45,520
Speaker 1: compassion over his people. When Israel descended into destruction and slavery,

67
00:04:45,680 --> 00:04:50,839
Speaker 1: God would send his heroes to save them. After delving

68
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,320
Speaker 1: deep into the worship of other gods, Israel found themselves

69
00:04:54,440 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: overcome by Kushan, the king of Mesopotamia. Kushan's army Israel

70
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:05,320
Speaker 1: by force, and God's people found themselves once again in slaves.

71
00:05:05,680 --> 00:05:09,960
Speaker 1: For eight years, they sat under the cruel reign of Mesopotamia.

72
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,000
Speaker 1: The people of Israel cried out to God, begging him

73
00:05:13,040 --> 00:05:15,719
Speaker 1: to save them, as he had thousands of times before.

74
00:05:16,640 --> 00:05:20,080
Speaker 1: God did not ignore their cries. He raised up his

75
00:05:20,200 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: first judge, Athniel, the nephew of Caleb. The spirit of

76
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:29,480
Speaker 1: God was with Athniel the same burning intensity Joshua once

77
00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:33,279
Speaker 1: had came upon him. Athniel gathered men from all over

78
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,760
Speaker 1: Israel to raise a resistance. For weeks, he plotted, schemed,

79
00:05:37,760 --> 00:05:42,240
Speaker 1: and strategized. Athniel was a man a few words. He

80
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,000
Speaker 1: was a man of the sword and exactly what Israel needed.

81
00:05:46,920 --> 00:05:49,279
Speaker 1: Athniel stood at the top of a valley in front

82
00:05:49,320 --> 00:05:52,960
Speaker 1: of Kushan's army. Weeks of preparing had led him to

83
00:05:53,160 --> 00:05:57,359
Speaker 1: this moment. The air was cold, and the piercing wind

84
00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:02,719
Speaker 1: of winter blew from the north. Athniel was silent as lightning.

85
00:06:02,839 --> 00:06:06,839
Speaker 1: With thousands of Israelite soldiers behind him, Athniel stormed the

86
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,280
Speaker 1: city of their oppressors. Bloods scattered across the sky above them.

87
00:06:11,800 --> 00:06:15,679
Speaker 1: Israel had its first taste of true victory in years.

88
00:06:16,480 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: They were free. God had gone before them, and Athniel

89
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,400
Speaker 1: was judge over Israel for forty years until he died.

90
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:29,359
Speaker 1: After forty years of peace. Under Athniel's leadership, the people

91
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:34,400
Speaker 1: of Israel fell prey to their old devices. Slowly and gradually,

92
00:06:34,760 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: their old idolatry crept back into their lives and hearts.

93
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: They let their guard down and became complaisant. While Israel rested,

94
00:06:44,240 --> 00:06:48,200
Speaker 1: feasted among idols, and enjoyed their new found freedom. King

95
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:52,880
Speaker 1: Eglon from Moab gathered the Ammonites and the Amalekites to

96
00:06:52,960 --> 00:06:57,719
Speaker 1: overtake Israel. He succeeded, and for eighteen years, his cruelty

97
00:06:57,760 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: and greed plagued the Hebrew people like a sickness. The

98
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 1: people of Israel cried out again to God, not knowing

99
00:07:05,960 --> 00:07:08,640
Speaker 1: that he was already raising up a young man named

100
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:12,280
Speaker 1: Ahood from the tribe of Benjamin. He was a left

101
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: handed man, which was uncommon and looked down upon in

102
00:07:15,400 --> 00:07:18,520
Speaker 1: his time. Yet his skill as a warrior and master

103
00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,239
Speaker 1: of deception were exactly what the people of Israel needed,

104
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:26,280
Speaker 1: so God provided. It was tradition for the people of

105
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:29,239
Speaker 1: Israel to pay a tribute to King Eglon in his palace.

106
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: These tributes were large platters of food filled with meats, cheeses,

107
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:37,160
Speaker 1: and grains. For Eglon was a large and slothful man.

108
00:07:37,800 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: He gorged on Israel's offerings and grew fat in both

109
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: mass and confidence. The people sent Ahood to pay the tribute.

110
00:07:45,920 --> 00:07:49,160
Speaker 1: With a double edged sword strapped to his right thigh,

111
00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:52,960
Speaker 1: Ahood brought in the tribute. Hail the king, He said,

112
00:07:53,520 --> 00:07:57,000
Speaker 1: I have brought you your tribute. Ayhood then leaned over

113
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,400
Speaker 1: to the King's side and whispered, I have secret news

114
00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:04,760
Speaker 1: from some spies in Israel. My King Eglon's interest and

115
00:08:04,840 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: concern rose. He showed away his guards and rose from

116
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: his seat to speak with a hood. As Eglon rose

117
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:15,240
Speaker 1: from his seat, ahod unstrapped the sword from his thigh

118
00:08:15,320 --> 00:08:18,960
Speaker 1: and lodged it into Eglon's gigantic stomach. In one motion,

119
00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:25,040
Speaker 1: Eglon's fat wrapped around the blade and closed it into

120
00:08:25,080 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: his belly. Entrails and dung came spewing out of Eglon

121
00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:33,080
Speaker 1: as he fell to the floor and died. Aihad drugged

122
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,720
Speaker 1: the king's massive body into his restroom. The guards heard

123
00:08:36,720 --> 00:08:39,960
Speaker 1: a noise and entered into the king's chambers. They heard

124
00:08:39,960 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: a stirring in the lavatory and did not want to

125
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:46,560
Speaker 1: bother the king while he was relieving himself. While they delayed,

126
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: Ehod escaped through the hole where the excrement was released

127
00:08:50,080 --> 00:08:53,920
Speaker 1: and crawled to safety. Moments later, the guards opened the

128
00:08:53,960 --> 00:08:58,560
Speaker 1: doors to see the king dead on the floor. Ehud

129
00:08:58,640 --> 00:09:02,080
Speaker 1: ran past the temples us arrived. When he arrived at

130
00:09:02,120 --> 00:09:05,480
Speaker 1: the right spot, he sounded a trumpet that echoed throughout

131
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: the entire hill country as one wave. The Israelite army

132
00:09:10,160 --> 00:09:14,679
Speaker 1: emerged from the horizon and ran behind Ahod. They followed him,

133
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:18,120
Speaker 1: and Ehad let out a battle cry, saying, follow me,

134
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:23,120
Speaker 1: for the Lord has given them into our hand. Ahood's

135
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 1: left handed swings tore apart the flesh of the Moabite army.

136
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:31,040
Speaker 1: One by one they fell, and hope and God was restored.

137
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: Ten thousand Moabites fell that day, all of them strong

138
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,760
Speaker 1: and able bodied soldiers. No one escaped. For eight years,

139
00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:44,319
Speaker 1: Ahod protected the people of Israel, and there was peace

140
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: in the land. Yet danger and temptation lurked around every corner.

141
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:53,120
Speaker 1: Ahood understood just as well as God that the peace

142
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:57,960
Speaker 1: would not last. Soon, Israel would hole itself to other

143
00:09:58,040 --> 00:10:02,800
Speaker 1: idols again, and God, as a faithful groom, would do

144
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:10,560
Speaker 1: anything to protect them. In today's reading, in God's Word,

145
00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:15,319
Speaker 1: we begin with a new generation of Israelites. This generation

146
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:20,360
Speaker 1: is different from those who followed Joshua. Joshua's people were gone,

147
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:23,920
Speaker 1: but now the people who have been living in comfort

148
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:30,880
Speaker 1: became complacent. They turned to false gods idols. They allowed

149
00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,000
Speaker 1: the world around them to infiltrate their daily lives. And

150
00:10:34,120 --> 00:10:37,720
Speaker 1: the God of their fathers, the God of Abraham, Isaac

151
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: and Jacob, the God of Moses and Joshua, these were

152
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: a distant memory. As always, rebellion and unbelief have consequences.

153
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:51,200
Speaker 1: God had warned them that if they turned from him,

154
00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:55,880
Speaker 1: they would not experience victory, but only the bitterness and

155
00:10:55,960 --> 00:11:00,599
Speaker 1: the brokenness of defeat. And that's exactly what they experience.

156
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:05,560
Speaker 1: In loss after loss after loss, they became weaker and

157
00:11:05,679 --> 00:11:09,360
Speaker 1: weaker as a nation. Even though God sent them a

158
00:11:09,400 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: godly leader, the Israelites persisted in their rebellion until they

159
00:11:13,760 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: were overcome by the king of Mesopotamia, Kushan, and then

160
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:20,880
Speaker 1: the people were once again under the rule of another.

161
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:24,440
Speaker 1: They were slaves in a pagan nation. This was the

162
00:11:24,520 --> 00:11:28,320
Speaker 1: price to be paid for their sins against God. But

163
00:11:28,520 --> 00:11:30,800
Speaker 1: God would not abandon his people, and when they cried

164
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,000
Speaker 1: out to him, he brought a mighty warrior, a judge

165
00:11:34,080 --> 00:11:37,080
Speaker 1: named Athonial. He was the nephew of Caleb, and he

166
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:40,439
Speaker 1: burned with zeal, a zeal for God and a zeal

167
00:11:40,480 --> 00:11:43,959
Speaker 1: for the people of God. And so God began the

168
00:11:43,960 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: time of the Judges. Athoniel raised up an army, and

169
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:51,840
Speaker 1: under God's protection, he led them to victory over Hushan's army.

170
00:11:52,600 --> 00:11:55,359
Speaker 1: They were once again free, and for the next generation,

171
00:11:55,760 --> 00:11:59,680
Speaker 1: this Man led the people as God's appointed judge. But

172
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:03,720
Speaker 1: as it happened, after Joshua died, once Athonial was God,

173
00:12:04,320 --> 00:12:08,160
Speaker 1: the people rebelled against God again and so began a

174
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: tragic pattern of turning from God facing defeat, turning back

175
00:12:12,600 --> 00:12:16,880
Speaker 1: to God for help, and God helping. The words in

176
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:20,160
Speaker 1: Judges three twelve signal the refrain that will repeat itself

177
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,920
Speaker 1: too many times in the years to come. And the

178
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,080
Speaker 1: people of Israel again did what was evil in the

179
00:12:27,160 --> 00:12:34,800
Speaker 1: sight of the Lord. Rescue, rebellion, repentance, and return. Before

180
00:12:34,840 --> 00:12:38,720
Speaker 1: we too quickly judge the Israelites for their unfaithfulness, let's

181
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,600
Speaker 1: consider how often we do the same thing. When we

182
00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:44,400
Speaker 1: allow other gods to take over our hearts and our

183
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:47,840
Speaker 1: minds idols of the heart, we get caught up in

184
00:12:48,080 --> 00:12:51,760
Speaker 1: the world and rebel against God. But here's what we know.

185
00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: Because of what Jesus Christ has done for us on

186
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: the cross, and by the power of his resurrection, God

187
00:12:59,600 --> 00:13:03,839
Speaker 1: can deem us, renew us, and restore us. When we

188
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:08,160
Speaker 1: repent of our sin and return to him, God will

189
00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: respond and receive us. Because of what Christ has done

190
00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 1: for us, we do need to remember that there are

191
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: consequences to our sins, and so when the people once

192
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: again turned against God again and again they were conquered

193
00:13:23,640 --> 00:13:27,600
Speaker 1: by another nation, they cried out to God and God

194
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:32,000
Speaker 1: brought them a new judge. Eho Ehod courageously faced the

195
00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:34,679
Speaker 1: king of Moab and put him to the sword before

196
00:13:34,760 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: leading an army against ten thousand Moabite men, killing them all.

197
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,400
Speaker 1: Once again, faith in God and hope for the future

198
00:13:42,640 --> 00:13:47,280
Speaker 1: was restored, but once again this would be only temporary,

199
00:13:47,600 --> 00:13:52,080
Speaker 1: as the people would turn away. They would often lose

200
00:13:52,120 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 1: their faith and their faithfulness. But God was faithful to

201
00:13:55,960 --> 00:13:59,559
Speaker 1: his people and he would not abandon them. And it's

202
00:13:59,559 --> 00:14:02,160
Speaker 1: a one of will promise to know that God loves you,

203
00:14:02,760 --> 00:14:05,120
Speaker 1: that his plans for your life, even when you fail,

204
00:14:05,240 --> 00:14:08,080
Speaker 1: when you are fickle, and when you fall, If you

205
00:14:08,120 --> 00:14:11,240
Speaker 1: will return to Him and receive Him through his son

206
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:14,960
Speaker 1: Jesus Christ, you can be forgiven and God will lift

207
00:14:15,000 --> 00:14:18,719
Speaker 1: you up. Dear God, thank you for your patience with us.

208
00:14:18,760 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: When our hearts fall away and stray, and our attentions

209
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:25,320
Speaker 1: drifts to the gods of this world. Help us to

210
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,000
Speaker 1: come back to you and to cry out to You

211
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: for your unending mercy and grace. We know this grace,

212
00:14:31,960 --> 00:14:36,080
Speaker 1: this mercy is available because of your son Jesus, who

213
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:38,800
Speaker 1: died on the cross for our sins and rose again

214
00:14:39,240 --> 00:14:42,000
Speaker 1: that we may have eternal life. It is at his

215
00:14:42,120 --> 00:14:45,840
Speaker 1: name that we pray. Amen. Thank you for listening to
