Judges Chapter 2 - a handout

 

Judges 2:6-3:6 (p243)

 

The big picture of the Book of Judges:

 

 

After Joshua (2v6)…

 

 

A cycle / downward spiral:

 

(1)   Disobedience / Rebellion        (vv10-13, 17, v19)

 

(2)   Defeat               / Retribution   (vv14-15, v20-23)

 

(3)   Distress             / Repentance (v15b, v18b)

 

(4)   Deliverance     / Rescue           (v16, v18)

 

 

The need for a better Rescuer (21v25)

 

 

Why did God leave the nations in the land?

 

(1)   A test of loyalty to the LORD (2v22; 3v1, 4)

 

(2)   Training in warfare (3v2)

 

 

So what? What now?
