What is the Book of Judges all about?Judges is the seventh book of the Old Testament, covering about 300 years between Joshua and the rise of Israel’s kings. It’s a story of cycles—sin, oppression, repentance, deliverance, and peace—repeated again and again.At the heart of the book is this phrase: “In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in their own eyes” (Judges 21:25). It’s a powerful reminder of what happens when people forget God.In this video, we cover: • The repeating cycle of sin, oppression, and deliverance. • How God uses broken and flawed leaders like Gideon, Jephthah, and Samson. • Why Judges points us forward to our ultimate Deliverer—Jesus Christ.👉 Subscribe for more Bible overviews and teachings.
