JudgesSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg provides a detailed analysis of Judges 6-7, which concludes with the victory of Israel over the Midianites. The story follows the cycle of sin, punishment, repentance, and deliverance recurring throughout the book of Judges. Gideon, chosen by God as the leader of Israel's army, uses a sign from God to gather soldiers and defeat the Midianites. The account includes an interpretation of the role of the "angel of the Lord" as a distinct figure from a regular angel, and a discussion of the significance of Gideon's use of an ephod as a priestly garment.
