Judges
The Book of Judges covers the men with spiritual discernment,
military prowess and administrative abilities that the LORD GOD raised
up to guide the fortunes of Israel. These leaders were established from
the death of Joshua to the days of Samuel, the last judge. Samuel is
traditionally thought to have written this book. The account notes
the failure of the children of Israel to maintain the high spiritual
standards laid down by Moses and Joshua in their failure to conquer the
land of Canaan as God had challenged them to do, to their growing
disobedience and spiritual apostasy brought on by wicked immorality.
God would teach His people through this period that "rest" was fully
available, and provided for by Himself, but must be entered into by an
obedient people.
