[Vision2020] Moscow is Being Used - Yeah, but by whom is thetrue question

Thu Jul 7 16:40:37 PDT 2005

Excellent, J.  My only thought is that the Scriptures anticipate the 
(sinful), gloating reaction of those who would mock Sisera for his 
cowardice, using Deborah as the "point man" for their mockery -- when God 
clearly chose her as His point person for the battle.

Ok, you need to try reading that enrire chapter.

Deborah was a prophetis and a "judge of Israel" and at the time of this 
particular passage, "And she would sit under the palm tree of Deborah 
between Ramah and Bethel in the mountains of Ephraim.  And the children of 
Israel came up to her for judgement." (Judges 4:5)

She states to Israel what was going to happen at God's hand in regards to a 
battle with Sisera (a MALE leader, BTW) and how Sisera will be delivered up 
to Israel: "Up! For this is the day in which the Lord has delivered Sisera 
into your hand. Has not the Lord gone out before you?" (Judges 4:14)  The 
passage clearly states Barak's resistance to go into battle without Deborah; 
she goes with him but it was not what God had wanted to have happen - and 
not because she was a woman.

To end that chapter of the Bible, Israel won the battle and Israel "rested 
for forty years" afterwards...with Deborah in their midst.  In fact, "Then 
Deborah and Barak sang on that day." (Judges 5:1)

The WHOLE Bible needs to be read as a WHOLE, not just parts that say what 
you want it to.
