3400 years ago, in an age of overwhelming male dominance and control, one of the most remarkable women in world history was the undisputed leader of God's Chosen People. Deborah was smart, strong, brave and righteous. She was a prophet and a judge who held court under the "Palm of Deborah" and the Israelites went up to her to have their disputes decided. When she ordered her male army commander to attack their violent enemy and free their people from the yoke of oppression, he flatly refused to go into battle without her! In response, she famously said “Certainly I will go with you...But because of the course you are taking, the honor will not be yours, for the Lord will deliver Sisera into the hands of a woman!”
