Application 3:

Find the historical events about this poem (9/ 12) in Judges and talk about your feelings.

Answer (1) Chapter 4/5; God raised up Deborah and Barak, prophetesss, more than Sisera and Jabin.

(2) Chapter 6/7; God raised Gideon and defeated Midian.

I feel that the victory of the war is not to summon people, but to summon God, who has demonstrated his glory with his strength in every battle against the God of War. Voters and foreigners all know that God is a powerful God. If you believe in God, nothing is impossible. Those who are enemies of God will perish.
