LESSON TEXT—Judge* CU-H, 32-40, read «ntir* chapter, GOLDEN TEXT—Bleased U the man whomthou cboo*«#t.—P*. 66-4. We have before os now the fourth apostasy and servitude oj Israel, one which seems to have affected chiefly the four northernmost tribes (v. 36). .In preparation for the call and work of Qideon,; the sixth judge, ’’the chil­ dren of Israel cried unto heavenand God sent unto them a prophet who en­ couraged their flagging faith in Jeho­ vah and turned them back to him (6:1-10). The now Impoverished and Overridden Israelites, who had enjoyed prosperity after their former deliver* ance, had again dona evil and must first judge their sin and obey the voice of Jehovah before they could receive a message of hope and deliverance through one of Jehovah’s prophets, God's Call to. Gideon. I, Gideon in Prayer, vv. 11*13. That the "'angel of Jehovah” was a •mani­ festation of Jehovah 1 b clear from a Careful Teading of verse 13. There the first use of the word "lord” is not cap Italized, whereas in e second in­ stance it. is car’taUzed, This angel was a foreshadowing o, the incarna­ tion In Jesus of Nazareth. He is clearly identified with Jehovah (see Judges 2:1, 2; Gen, 16:10,13, R. V.), It was thus - that -Abraham saw *'my day'"* (John 8:66). “The angel of the Lord" at no time appears after Jesus came, as -the revised text shows. The no, madic Mldianitea brought min-to Is­ rael-as the bitter fruit of its Bln. Then was uttered the cry for relief (Ps. 130), The father of Gideon is passed by, for he wae a worshiper of Baal (v. 25) They who bear the vessels of the Lord, .those through, whom he works, must ■have clean hands. Hod’s call to Gid­ eon came to him (1) while he was alone, as he was threshing wheat in the hiding place of a winepress, for he dare not thresh in the customary, open place of a threshing- floor. This call came to him (2)’ as be was faith­ fully performing hie duty, that one nearest his hand (v. 11, Ex. 3:1, 2f Luke 2:8, 9). II. Gideon in Doubt, vv. 13-16,' Gid­ eon’s thought must have been one of amazement as well as of doubt. 'His Question, “Why then is all this befal­ len. us?” was a most natural one and one that men even now are, asking When they are in great trouble. Suf- ' feringand misery are not,ail to be laid at God’s door,,though be permit it, but chiefly at the door of sin. (Ps. 77:7-9; Isa. 49:1,- 2). • It is possible that Gid­ eon had not yet recognized his heav­ enly visitor fcf, v. 21), The name Gideon means "Hewer” or "Tfeefdllar” and. indicates, m all eastern name** do, something of his personal, character ,br-appearance. Hence the significance of r„ 14. The Lord in the person of the angel looked upon, him and said/ seeing all. of his natural qualifications, but with the emphasis upon the ‘T 1—- “Go in thy might , * . have not f sent thee?” ’ GideonWas the Agent, ill. Gideon Assured, vv..33-36. Gid­ eon’s first act on being assured of .this heavenly communication was one of worship (w . 17-26), His second one was to take ten picked men and over* throw the altar to Baal, thereby dem­ onstrating the impotence of Baal and the futility of nailing upon him for deliverance* The tribesmen at once light upon him as having performed this act and demand bis death from Joash, his father, who seems to have: been a, sort of caretaker of the idol (v. 25). These same men later become Gideon’s enthusiastic followers (vv. 34,35). Gideon thus translated theory into action and gained confidence. It was one man against the community, and to further rebuke them he erected an altar to Jehovah (v, 28). IV. Gidson’s Caution,,w . 36-40. Spur­ geon said that he never entered his pulpit to preach without trembling, and Gideon would bave been more ■ than human, even after assembling his army, bad he been absolutely free from doubts, We should never place an “If” before any Of God’s promises, and Jesus reprimanded those of his day when they demanded a "sign” (won­ der), but Gideon proved his heroism in part by his Caution. Gideon was afraid of himself but was sure of God. Once assured of God’s leading he was willing to lead 300 men against the overwhelming force of his enemies. If such a demand was a weakness God deslfc with It With marvelous patience ahd tenderness, just as he condescends to treat our weaknesses. The very life of thenationia at stake, everything de­ pendsup6n,v. ideon’asuccess or failure. Cautionwhd eoifrage are never far apart. Caution i* the soul of courage. The fleece suggests a “figure of for­ lorn Israel;" the dew, the presence of the Holy Spirit. In the old dispensa­ tion the dew rested upon Israel while others Were dry, In this dispensation Israel is dry while the dew of God rests upon the nations, “When God calls lift your soul in prayer and follow ito the direction it leads, Ad you lift your soul before God it will wax or wane. If it wanes,, abandon It; if it waxes, follow It, though all hell attempt to stay you."— F. B.
