Deborah was a major judge, there is a lot written of her and Barack, and Barak was also considered a judge. He is recorded in Hebrews 11:32. The children of Israel continued their decline into sin after each judge and deliverer died.

Not very much is written about Shamgar, who was a judge in Israel. But he was as much a deliverer in Israel than any other of the judges.

This series is designed to give Christians and church members an understanding of the church as written from the Word of God.

Noah's faith is now put on display. Don't lose sight of the fact that Noah found grace in the eyes of the LORD, and that Noah's faith was given to him by God. But now that it was Noah's faith, he must used it and exercise it toward God. We must never lose sight of the fact that we are to live in this world by faith. "The just shall live by faith."

This Man who confronted Jacob at the Ford of Jabbok was the God Man, and none other but the pre-incarnate Christ. He came to Jacob when Jacob was alone and wrestled with him, confronted him, and would not allow him to cross into Canaan until Jacob was weakened and brought into a place of having no strength to trust in himself, but rather in God and God alone.

David's last words.

In this passage, the Sadducees questioned Jesus about the resurrection of the dead, which they did not believe. Jesus proceeded to reprove them and then to teach them that they did not know the scriptures.

Once again, the children of Israel did evil in the sight of the LORD, descending into sin and walking in the ways of the Canaanites. So when they cried to the LORD, He raised up Ehud, the left-handed judge, who delivered Israel from the tyranny of Eglon and the Moabites. Sometimes deliverance comes from unusual people.

The Vow of a Nazarite was voluntary vow of separation for either a man or a woman in Old Covenant Israel. The Nazarite was a wonderful thing for a believer in Israel to undertake. A Nazarite was one who was an uncommon believer, who vowed to follow God in a greater and deeper way. They were standard bearers and shining lights in Israel. Their lives were to be distinct for God, and they were to point others to God from their lives. The three notable Nazarites in the Bible were Samson, Samuel, and John Baptist, but they were called to be Nazarites from the womb. All of their mothers were barren, not able to have children until they gave birth to Nazarites.

If you are a Christian, you are united to God through faith in Jesus Christ. In John 17:20-23, Jesus prayed for every believer that would believe in Him in future times, and His prayer was that you, Christian would be one with He and His Father. If this is true of you, shouldn't it be that you have a very special private and secret relationship with God?
