EHUD – SECOND JUDGE OF ISRAEL
“When God is asked: “Remember your great mercy and love,” he is being asked to act according to his character. When someone asks God to “remember not [my] sins,” he or she is asking that God would not act on what he knows. Therefore, to say that the Israelites “forgot” God is to say that they no longer were controlled by what they knew. We could put it another way. Though they knew who God was and what he wanted, those things were not real to them.” ― (Timothy J. Keller, Judges For You)
THE DAYS OF THE JUDGES BEGIN
“Therefore the LORD was very angry with Israel and said, “Because this nation has violated the covenant I ordained for their ancestors and has not listened to me, I will no longer drive out before them any of the nations that Joshua left when he died. I will use them to test Israel and see if they will keep the way of the LORD and walk in it as their ancestors did. – (Judges Chapter Two)
DAN AND THE CANAANITES
“But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the detestable, as for murderers, the sexually immoral, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their portion will be in the lake that burns with fire and sulfur, which is the second death.” – (Revelation 21:8)
