Скачать или смотреть Lessons from the Book of Judges

The Book of Judges is full of stories that happened after the Israelites moved into the land Yah promised them. At that time, they didn’t have kings. Instead, Yah gave them special leaders called judges to help guide and protect them.

The people of Israel had a habit they kept repeating. First, they would forget about Yah and start doing things He told them not to do. Then, trouble would come. Other nations would attack them or take over their land. When things got really bad, the people would cry out to Yah for help. And every time, Yah would send a judge to rescue them. The people would be happy and safe for a while—but after some time, they would forget again, and the whole cycle would start over.

Some of the judges were really brave and surprising leaders. There was Deborah, a wise woman who helped lead the army into victory. There was Gideon, who was nervous at first, but trusted Yah and beat a giant army with only 300 men. And there was Samson, who had incredible strength because of a promise made to Yah. Even though he made some bad choices, Yah still used him to save His people.

Through these stories, we learn that Yah is patient and kind. Even when the people forgot Him over and over again, He still helped them when they called out. We also see that Yah can use anyone—men, women, young people, or people who feel too small or weak. What matters most is trusting Him.

The Book of Judges shows us that when we follow Yah, life goes much better. But when we forget Him, things can get really hard. Yah wants us to remember Him, trust Him, and do what is right. And just like back then, when we call out to Him, He listens.
