Welcome to Gospel Rant, and our new series, Breaking Badly!

Welcome back to Breaking Badly, our journey through one of the darkest—and most honest—books in the Bible: the book of Judges.

The Seven Nations

Over the centuries, powerful nations had filled the land.

Seven of them.

Each one militarily stronger than Israel.

Each one capable of tossing Israel around the ancient Near Eastern sandbox without much trouble.

But something remarkable had happened.

The Celestial Judge—the God of heaven and earth—had declared these nations guilty of rebellion against Him.

Guilty of what we might call cosmic treason.

And the sentence had been pronounced.

Judgment.

And then came the surprise.

Instead of executing that judgment Himself, God assigned Israel to carry it out.

Which, frankly, seems like a strange choice.

Because Israel wasn’t exactly a model nation.

They were also guilty of rebellion.

We will see what you think.

And now, it’s your turn…
