In Part 2 of our deep dive into Judges 9, we witness the unraveling of Abimelek’s ruthless reign. After murdering his brothers to seize power, his tyranny begins to collapse under the weight of betrayal, paranoia, and divine justice. This episode picks up with the rise of rebellion and explores how God allows evil leaders to fall by the same sword they wield.

We’ll explore the consequences of unchecked ambition and how God's justice is not always immediate, but always inevitable. From the curse of Jotham to the civil war that erupts in Shechem, Abimelek’s story is a sobering reminder of what happens when leaders reject God and exalt themselves. Even amid chaos, God is still at work—holding every deed accountable in His perfect timing.

Join us as we reflect on the spiritual lessons this brutal chapter of Israel’s history offers for modern Christians navigating corrupt leadership, prideful ambition, and divine sovereignty. Judges 9 is not just history—it’s prophecy for every soul tempted by power and a call to trust in the righteous Judge above all earthly thrones.
