Wo have before us now tho fourth apostasy, and servitude of Israel, ono. which scorns to have affected chiefly tho four northernmost tribes (v. 35). In preparation for tho cull and work of Qldeon, tho sixth Judge, "tho chil dren of Israel cried unto heaven," nnd God sent unto them a prophet who en couraged their flagging faith In Jeho vnh and turned them back to him (G:l-10). Tho now impoverished and overridden Israelites, who hnd enjoyed prosperity after their former deliver ance, had agnln dono evil nnd must first Judgo their sin nnd obey tho voice of Jehovah before they could rccolvo a messago of liopo and deliverance through ono of Johovnh'H prophets. God'o Call to Gideon. I. Gideon In Prayer, vv. 11-13. That tho "nngel of Jehovah' was a mani festation of Jehovah Is clear from ti enreful rending of verst 13. Thcro tho first use of the word "lord" Is not cap italized, whereas in o second in- stanco it 1b caHtaltzed This nngel was a foreshadowing o tho Incarn'n Hon in Jesus of Nazareth. Ho Is clearly identified with Jehovah (eeo Judges 2:1, 2; Gen. 1G:10. 13, R. V.). It was thus that Abraham saw "my day" (John 8:5C). "Tho angel of tho Lord" at no time appears after Jesus camo, as tho revised text bIiows. Tho no madic Midlanltcs brought ruin to Is raol as tho bitter fruit of its sin. Then was uttered the cry for relief (Ps. 130). Tho father of Gideon is passed by, for bo woe a worshiper of Daal (v. 25). They who bear the vessels of tho Lord, those through whom ho works, must havo clean hands. God's call to Gid eon came to htm (1) while ho was alone, as ho was threshing wheat In the hiding place of a winepress, for he daro not thresh in the customary open place of a threshing floor. This call camo. to him (2) as ho was faith fully performing his duty, that one nearest bis hand (v. 11, Ex. 3:1, 2; Lulto 2:8, 9). 11. Gideon In Doubt, vv. 13-16. Gid eon's thought must havo been ono ol amazement as well as of doubt. Ills question, "Why then Is all this befal len us?" was a most natural one and ono that men even now are asking when they are in great trouble. Suf fering nnd misery aro not all to be laid at God's door, though he permit it, but chiefly at tho door of sin (Pb. 77:7-9; Isa. 49:1, 2). It is possible that Gid eon had not yet recognized his heav enly visitor (cf. v. 21). The name Gideon means "Hewer" or "Treefeller" and indicates, as all eastern names do, something of his personal character or appearance. Hence the significance of v. 14. Tho Lord In the person ol the angel looked upon him and said, seeing all of his natural qualifications, but with tho emphasis upon the "I" "Go in thy might . . . have not Bent thee?" Gideon Was the Agent. III. Gideon Assured, vv. 33-35. Gid eon's first net on being assured of this heavenly communication was ono of worship (vv. 17-26). His second one was to tako ten picked men and over throw the altar to Baal, thereby dem onstrating tho impotence of Baal and tho futility of calling upon him for deliverance. The tribesmen at onco light upon him as having performed this act and demand his death from Joash, his father, who seems to have been a sort of caretaker of the idol (v. 25). These same men later become Gideon's enthusiastic followers (vv. 34, 35). Gideon thus translated theory into action and gained confidence. It was one man against tho community, and to further rebuke them ho erected an altar to Jehovah (v. 28). IV. Gideon's Caution, vv. 36-40. Spur geon said that ho never entered his pulpit to preach without trembling, nnd Gideon would have been mora than human, even after assembling his army, had life been absolutely free from doubts. Wo should nover place an "If" beforo any of God's promises, and Jesus reprimanded those of his day when they demanded a "sign" (won der), but Gideon proved his heroism in part by his caution. Gideon was afraid of himself but was sure of God. Onco assured of God's leading he was willing to lead 300 men against the overwhelming force of bis enemies. If such a demand was a weakness God dealt with it with marvelous patlcnco and tenderness, Just as ho condescends to treat our weaknesBoe. The very life of tho nation Is at stake, everything de pends upon udeon'w bucccss or failure. Caution and courage are never far apart. Caution i tho soul of courage. Tho fleece suggests a "figure of for lorn Israel;" tho dew, tho presence ot the Holy Spirit. In the old dispensa tion tho dew rested upon Israol while others wero dry. In this dispensation Israel is dry whllo tho dew of God rests upon tho nations. "When God calls lift your soul In prayer and follow In tho direction it leads. As you lift your soul before God it will war or wano. If It wanes, abandon it; if it waxes, follow it, though nil hell attempt to stay you." F. B.
