Angel Judges 4 After Ehud died, the Israelites once again did evil in the eyes of the LORD . 2 So the LORD sold them into the hands of Jabin, a king of Canaan, who reigned in Hazor. The commander of his army was Sisera, who lived in Harosheth Haggoyim. 3 Because he had nine hundred iron chariots and had cruelly oppressed the Israelites for twenty years, they cried to the LORD for help. 4 Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, was leading [1] Israel at that time. 5 She held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and the Israelites came to her to have their disputes decided. I dont understand where youre coming from. deborah Was in charge before Barak said hed only fight if she'd come with him |

Hi, God's servant! Look at verses 8 and 9 and 21 through 24: Barak replied, 'If you come with me, I shall go; if you will not come, I shall not go, for I do not know how to choose the day when the angel of Yahweh will grant me success.' 'I shall go with you then,' she said, 'but, the way you are going about it, the glory will not be yours; for Yahweh will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman. But Jael the wife of Heber took a tent-peg and picked up a mallet; she crept up softly to him and drove the peg into his temple right through to the ground. He was lying fast asleep, worn out; and so he died. And now Barak came up in pursuit of Sisera. Jael went out to meet him and said, 'Come in, and I will show you the man you are looking for. He went into her tent; and there was Sisera dead, with the tent-peg through his temple. Thus God that day humbled Jabin king of Canaan before the Israelites. And the Israelites bore down more and more heavily on that king of Canaan, Jabin, until he was utterly destroyed. So the Lord used Jael to bring down an enemy of Israel when BaraK, a military leader, was ambivalent about his obligations and seeked to determine for God when and where God would bless him. God Bless! Angel |

i wasnt thinking about the battle i thought that "SHE held court under the Palm of Deborah between Ramah and Bethel in the hill country of Ephraim, and THE ISRAELITES CAME TO HER TO HAVE THEIR DISPUTES DECIDED." judges 4:5 means that deborah was "ruling/judging" isreal instead of a male, because if god would rather have a male leading his people wouldnt judges 4:4 say it was a male instead of deborah? "Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lappidoth, WAS LEADING Israel at that time." and if you read before that it doesnt say she lead because a male was scared to, like Barak was scared going in to battle? |

Hi, God's servant! I was attempting to convey the message that God chooses who He wants to appoint to whatever office He desires to fill... In the particular case of Barak, his cowardice kept him from achieving victory and being renown. When he refused to trust God, and rejected his office, Yahweh used a female, who was not a warrior, to bring about His Will! But the Promise was made to Abraham not his wife, Sara... every single covenant has been made to a male figure... the priesthood was entrusted to the male Levites... Am I saying that that means that God cannot use a female? No! But Biblical history demonstrates that He has chosen man to be the vessel of the priesthood. And Jesus did not change that selection! Has God ever use a female to bring about His Salvation Plan? Afirmative! Just like He chose Israel to be His people--and when Israel refuse to obey and exhausted His Patience (in God's terms of course), God used their disobedience to allow the Gentiles to come into Salvation. Again, I ask you to use the whole Bible as reference--we may choose to obey God or select a few passages that seem to OK "worship as you please." God Bless! Angel |
