Book of Judges (pt. 2 of 2)
The book of Judges shows us the cyclical decline of Israel's society during the period of the Judges. The result of this decline is a descent into a civil war (Judges 20).
Judges 19 symbolically represents the deterioration of societal norms. At the end of chapter 19, we find a disturbing story of a Levite who dismembers his concubine's body and delivers the pieces to the tribes of Israel. What are we to make of this act? Join us today as we work through some of the ancient symbolism present in the book of Judges that God uses to communicate this important message.

Book of Judges (pt. 1 of 2)
The book of Judges tells the story of Israel's cyclical descent into chaos and eventually civil war.
In this lesson, we examine the cycle that repeats six times throughout the book, each getting worse than the last. Amid these cycles, we find a parable (technically a fable) that is a warning about the people making sure they choose the proper leadership. The key to understanding the parable is a particular tree in Israel. We examine the characteristics of the tree to see how it helps us understand the embedded message of the parable.
