Selected Theme: The power & blessings of repentance
Category: History
Written by: Prophet Samuel
Written for: The book of Judges represents the life of every believer. From being spiritually slothful, despising the multitude of God’s gifts; provokes God to chastise him with afflictions and sufferings to bring him back to Him. We then taste the sweetness of the new life in Christ Jesus, being the spiritual land that flows with milk and honey.
At the time of: Written in the days of king Saul, or the beginning of those of king David; when the prophet of the time was Samuel.
Main Focus: This book came, not to give the history of that era, but to deal with the problem of apostasy that made the congregation lose its sanctity and unity resulting in being destroyed and humiliated before the enemies. This was a divine allowance to bring them back to God in a collective repentance and to open up their hearts to God, who would then send help and salvation to them.
A Key Verse: Judges 2:16
