F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Judges 6:7-18

a Farmer Called to Be Deliverer Judges 6:7-18 God is not content with sending a prophet to condemn our sins; He commissions an angel to bring help. Surely there is truth in the old belief that the Angel-Jehovah, designated here, was our Lord, whose delights were ever with the sons of men. Compare Isaiah 63:9 and Acts 7:30 with Exodus 3:2 ; Exodus 3:6 . He still comes to us, not visibly to the eye, but sensibly to the heart. There is a peculiar burning at the heart, which those who love Him... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Judges 6:1-40

After the passing of these forty years, sin again brought punishment. The people passed under the oppression of Midian. It was oppression of the severest kind and lasted for seven years. A terrible picture is drawn of the people of God hiding in dens and caves and strongholds. In answer to their cry deliverance began. It came through Gideon. He is revealed as a man continuing his work with the bitterness of the whole situation burning like a fire in his bones. He was conscious of the true... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Judges 6:11-40

Gideon's Call to Conquest Judges 6:11-40 INTRODUCTORY WORDS There come times of special exigencies when God speaks to special men calling them to special service. Such a call came to Gideon, and there may come such a call to some who study with us today. In. the days of Gideon the Children of Israel had turned aside to worship Baal. The Lord had given them into the hands of Midian, and they had, in their affliction, cried unto the Lord. When they cried, the Lord heard them and raised up a... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:16

‘ And Yahweh said to him, “I will surely be with you, and you will smite the Midianites as one man.” ’ God’s reply was that Gideon should consider the odds. He would be there with him. Thus it would be Gideon and Yahweh against Midian, ‘two’ against ‘one’, ‘one God and one man’ against ‘one man’. And He assured him that His presence with Gideon was guaranteed. The men of Midian and Amalek and of the East may seem numberless, but to Yahweh they were merely ‘as one man’. And one of His blows... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Judges 6:11-24

Judges 6:11 . On the angel of Yahweh see Judges 2:1, Genesis 16:7 *. For “ oak” read “ terebinth.” While the primitive Semites were animists, the Israelites came to associate Yahweh’ s own presence with sacred trees (p. 100, Genesis 18:1). Judges 6:12. With the assurance “ Yahweh is with thee” cf. the faith grandly expressed in the name Immanuel, “ God is with us” ( Isaiah 7:14). On hearing the words “ Yahweh is with thee,” Gideon replies, “ Oh, my lord, if Yahweh is with us” (used five... read more

CHAPTER 6.—Judges 6:11-24THE UNSEEN FRIENDCRITICAL NOTES.— Judges 6:11. There came an angel of the Lord.] Rather, “the angel of the Lord came.” The reference being to one particular person known already by that name (ch. Judges 2:1-5). He almost always personated Jehovah, or speaks in His name (Exodus 23:20-22; Ex. 3:23; Exodus 14:19). He is generally supposed to have been the Messiah, the Son of God, anticipating the appearance He was to make in human form in the fulness of time. He had other... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Judges 6:1-40

Judges 6-8 In the first words of Gideon we find the key to his character. (1) He was a man who felt deeply the degradation of his people. He could not enjoy his own harvest while the Midianites were robbing all around; he had the patriot's wide sympathy. (2) He was a man also of the strongest common sense, accustomed to look through words to things, and to look the facts of life fair in the face. (3) He was a man of abundant personal valour, but yet unwilling to move a step until he was sure... read more
