Listen to hear what happened to God’s people during a very big rainstorm. Deborah was a woman who loved God and listened to Him. God told Deborah mes- sages to give to His people. God loved His people, but they were not listening to Him. They were not obeying Him. They were not praying. Because they disobeyed God, the people had big trouble! An army with many strong soldiers and 900 chariots wanted to fight them! (A chariot is a cart pulled by a horse.) The leader of the army was named Sisera. Finally, the people of Israel remembered to pray to God. God gave Deborah a mes- sage for a man named Barak. Deborah told Barak, “God has an important job for you. God says: ‘Take 10,000 men to Mount Tabor. I will bring Sisera with his chari- ots and army to the river there. I will help you get rid of Sisera.’” But Barak was afraid! Barak said, “Deborah, if you go with me, I will go. But if you don’t go, I won’t go.” Deborah wanted Barak to trust God and obey. “I will go with you,” she said. Soon 10,000 men went with Barak and Deborah up Mount Tabor. Sisera was getting ready to fight, too. He and his army rode toward Mount Tabor. Sisera was sure he would win. But Sisera didn’t know the Israelites had GOD’S help! Deborah and Barak looked down from the mountain. They could see out across the big flat land. The chariots were coming closer and CLOSER. Soon the whole valley was FULL of chariots! Deborah smiled at Barak. “Go!” she said. “God will help you. You will win!” Barak and his men started down the mountain. Just then, God sent a thunderstorm! Lightning flashed. Rain poured. Sisera and his men ran away. Barak’s army chased them until there was no one left to chase! Deborah and Barak were glad they had obeyed God. Summer Unit 2: God Cares for His People 430 • © 2010 Gospel Light. Permission to photocopy granted to original purchaser only.

  • When God Says Go and What More Shall I Say? I Do Not Have Time to Tell About Gideon, Barak…
    When God Says Go And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak… Hebrews 11:32 The next two heroes that we come to in Hebrews 11 may be less familiar to you and me. They aren’t really stories that you’ll find in the children’s picture Bibles on your kids’ shelves, but the writer of Hebrews commends them for their faith. Gideon’s and Barak’s stories both start the same way – with the Israelites again doing evil in the eyes of the Lord (Judges 4:1, 6:1). It’s a fairly common occurrence in the Old Testament, actually. The Lord gives the Israelites chance after chance after chance to follow His law, but they keep messing it up – by worshipping other gods and disobeying direct commandments from God. During Barak’s time in the spotlight, Deborah, a prophetess, is leading Israel. The Lord had handed the Israelites over to the Canaanites because of their wickedness, and after twenty years of oppression, they cried out to the Lord for help. Read Judges 4:6-4:10 If the Israelites had learned anything over the years, it should have been this: when God says that He will do something, He will do it. God said He would bring the people out of slavery in Egypt, and He did, by parting the Red Sea. He said He would give the Israelites the Promised Land, and He bulldozed the way for them, even tearing down the walls of Jericho and giving them victory over all of those in their way.

  • Moses Deborah Samuel Gad and Nathan Elijah and Elisha Amos
    PROPHECY, PROPHETS Reception and declaration of a word from the Lord through a direct prompting of the Holy Spirit and the human instrument thereof. Old Testament Three key terms are used of the prophet. Ro'eh and hozeh are translated as "seer." The most important term, nabi, is usually translated "prophet." It probably meant "one who is called to speak." Moses History Moses, perhaps Israel's greatest leader, was a prophetic prototype (Acts 3:21-24). He appeared with Elijah in the transfiguration (Matt. 17:1-8). Israel looked for a prophet like Moses (Deut. 34:10). Deborah Prophets also played a role in the conquest and settlement of the Promised Land. The prophetess Deborah predicted victory, pronounced judgment on doubting Barak, and even identified the right time to attack (Judg. 4:6-7,9,14). Samuel Samuel, who led Israel during its transition to monarchy, was a prophet, priest, and judge (1 Sam. 3:20; 7:6,15). He was able to see into the future by vision (3:11-14) and to ask God for thunder and rain (12:18). Samuel led in victory over the Philistines (1 Sam. 7), and God used him to anoint kings. Gad and Nathan Gad and Nathan served as prophets to the king. Elijah and Elisha Elijah and Elisha offered critique and advice for the kings. The prophets did more than predict the future; their messages called Israel to honor God. Their prophecies were not general principles but specific words corresponding to Israel's historical context. Amos, Hosea, Isaiah, Micah Similarly the classical or writing prophets were joined to history.

  • What Is Biblical Prophecy?
    What is Biblical Prophecy? What Biblical Prophecy is NOT, and What It Really IS: Contrary to what many fundamentalist preachers or late-night radio hosts would have you believe, biblical prophecy is not primarily about “predicting the future” or finding clues in the Bible that correspond to people or events in our own day and age! The prophets of Ancient Israel did not look into some kind of crystal ball and see events happening thousands of years after their own lifetimes. The books they wrote do not contain hidden coded messages for people living in the 20th or 21st centuries! Rather, biblical prophets were mainly speaking to and writing for the people of their own time. They were challenging people of their own world, especially their political rulers, to remain faithful to God’s commandments and/or to repent and turn back to God if they had strayed. They were conveying messages from God, who had called or commissioned them, rather than speaking on their own initiative or authority. However, because the biblical prophets were transmitting messages on behalf of God (as Jews and Christians believe), much of what they wrote for their own time is clearly also relevant for people living in the modern world. The overall message of faith and repentance is timeless and applicable in all ages and cultures. To understand what biblical prophecy really is, let’s look more closely at the origins, definitions, and uses of some key biblical words. In the Hebrew Bible, the word for “prophet” is usually nabi’ (lit. “spokesperson”; used over 300 times!), while the related feminine noun nebi’ah (“prophetess”) occurs only rarely.

  • The Image of Female Prophets in Ancient Greek and Jewish Literature
    The Image of Female Prophets in Ancient Greek and Jewish Literature Ancient Jewish literature contains frequent references to prophets as the hu- man transmitters of allegedly divine messages.1 Prophetic figures appear in prose narratives, and texts preserve oracles that are attributed to prophetic figures, as well. Given this rich background, one can say that in some ways prophecy is a characteristic element of ancient Jewish literature. But within the canonical biblical texts that ground this tradition, only four women – Miriam, .(נביאה) Deborah, Huldah, and Noadiah – are explicitly referred to as prophets General treatments of prophets in the Hebrew Bible have on occasion paid attention to the remarkably few references to women prophets found in these texts.2 Meanwhile, others have brought female figures into the center of their studies in different ways. Carol Meyers explores the professional women of ancient Israel and argues that women had different functions in that realm, including prophecy. According to Meyers, the work of female prophets was not restricted to proclaiming the divine will; their function may have been broader and may have overlapped with other professionals.3 Apart from his- torical studies, attention has been dedicated to female prophets in studies that focus more generally on women in the context of biblical literature and with particular attention to different biblical authors’ views on women and their status.4 More recently, the study of classical prophecy has been brought into 1 For the definition see, e. g., M. Nissinen, “What is Prophecy? An Ancient Near Eastern Per- spective,” in Inspired Speech: Prophecy in the Ancient Near East (eds.

  • Rest in the Lord in the Land
    Rest in the Lord in the Land We should never underestimate God, because He is GOD! He is LORD of all, and only in Him will we ever find true rest and peace. Man may vacillate, man may prevaricate, but: “I the LORD do not change” (Malachi 3:6). Nations may come, nations may go, but: “Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD” (Psalm 33:12). Please turn to Psalm 37. (I’ll quote this verse from the KJV and all subsequent reFerences from the English Standard Version, or ESV.) In times oF trouble we can rest in the LORD and know that He will be our reFuge as we wait patiently For Him. Psalm 37:7 (KJV): Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyselF because of him who prospereth in his way, because oF the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass. After the death oF Joshua and beFore the ministry of Samuel, Israel entered a period oF troubled times where they Forsook the LORD their God and “everyone did what was right in his own eyes” (Judges 17:6). It was during this turbulent period in Israel’s history that God sent forth a series oF judges to set things right and turn people From their evil ways to rest in the LORD, each time restoring rest in the land. The Book oF Judges is the record oF the judges’ repeated interventions on behalF oF God’s people.

  • Deborah and Barak TEACHER BIBLE STUDY the Time of the Judges Continued After the Death of Ehud
    1st-3rd Grade Kids Bible Study Guide Unit 9, Session 2: Deborah and Barak TEACHER BIBLE STUDY The time of the judges continued after the death of Ehud. The Israelites fell into a continuous cycle of sin, bondage, deliverance, and peace. The people of Israel were oppressed by the king of Canaan. At this time, Deborah was the judge of Israel. Deborah sent for Barak and encouraged him to take up an army and fight the army of Canaan and its leader, Sisera. Deborah reminded Barak that God would hand Sisera and his troops over to him. (Judges 4:6-7) Barak agreed to go under one condition: that Deborah would go with him. Deborah went, but she informed Barak that he would get no glory for the battle; God was going to use a woman to defeat Sisera. When Barak went down from Mount Tabor with 10,000 men, “The LORD threw Sisera and all his army into confusion with the sword before Barak” (Judges 4:15). Everyone in the army died, but Sisera escaped on foot. Sisera fled to the tent of Jael, who invited him inside and gave him a drink. While Sisera slept, Jael drove a tent peg through his temple and he died. Judges 5 records a victory song Deborah and Barak sang on that day, praising God for defeating the Canaanites. The land had rest for 40 years. The Israelites’ sin had resulted in 20 years of defeat. God fought for the Israelites and used Deborah, Barak, and Jael to accomplish the Israelites’ victory over Canaan.
