Insights into our current problems in America from Judges 6, 7, and 8.
Jonathan Cahn in his excellent series of books has shown
that events in the history of Israel are often harbingers of events in America.
During one of our C4LC men’s Bible studies, one of our members made an
interesting observation concerning Judges chapter 7. This led me to take a
close look at Judges 6, 7, and 8, the story of Gideon and the Midianites. Could
these events in Israel’s past possibly be a harbinger of the events occurring in
America today?
Let’s look at these scriptures seeing Israel as America, The
Midianites as the evil cabal or globalists that have invaded our nation, and
Gideon as a man, Trump, sent by the Lord to deliver America from the evil that
has invaded America, a type of Gideon.
Judges 6:1-6 America
to a large extent has turned from God and become a largely secular nation doing
what is evil in the sight of the Lord. What we have seen in the past several
years is evil people getting into positions of influence and power working to fundamentally
change America into a socialist/communist nation and eventually to establish a
one-world government controlled by a few elite people. This invasion of evil could
be seen as the Lord giving America into their hands for a season due to the
fallen condition of the nation.
But like Israel, a remnant of the people (the true Church) cried
out to the Lord for help. And the Lord heard and responded by sending a man (Trump)
to deal with these evil people that were destroying America. It is interesting
that in verse 10 the Lord implies that this battle is against the “gods of the
Amorites” (the evil ones). All of this is a spiritual battle against Satan’s
ultimate plan to establish his kingdom on the earth.
Judges 6:11-24 At this point the Lord calls Gideon (Trump) to
deliver Israel (America). The Lord assures Trump that He is with him and calls
him a mighty man of valor. Then the Lord sends Trump to save America from the
hand of the evil ones. Trump, like Gideon, seems to be the least likely and qualified
person to be called for such a task. But through a miraculous event, the surprising
election of Trump as the president of the USA, the Lord confirms His call on Trump.
The first task Gideon (Trump) is given is to attack and tear down the idols
that the evil people worship. During Trump’s first term as President of the USA,
he accomplished many things that unraveled (torn down) many of the adverse
activities and policies the previous governments had put in place. But like
with Gideon this caused the evil ones to mount up a great attack against him. This
has been going on since Trump’s election and is raging right now (Judges 6:33-35).
Then an alarm is sounded and a large group of supporters comes together to
support Trump. It is estimated that over 85 million people voted for Trump in
the Nov. 3, 2020 election.
Judges 7:1-8 Now
with the enemy “encamped” before America and seemingly in positions of power,
the Lord makes some unusual moves. He first removes from Trump’s supporters all
who are afraid and halfhearted. We are seeing this happen today. Fear is the
primary weapon the enemy is using to get people to be compliant and obedient to
their control and abandoned Trump. The Lord allows this because there were too
many with Trump “lest the people boast over God and say that their own hand has
saved them”. But there are still too many with Trump so the Lord then removes
others leaving only those that are true warriors. It is with this remnant that
the Lord will move to pull down the enemy in such a manner that all the world
will know that only God could do such a thing and God will get all the glory.
Judges 7:9-15 At
this point the Lord sounds the attack alarm. But there is still some fear and
hesitancy in the camp so the Lord provides intelligence from the enemy’s camp
that reassures Trump and reveals that the enemy camp is fearful and in a state
of panic. This is occurring this very day as the evil plots and deeds of the
enemy are being exposed. Now Trump and his forces are ready for the attack
At this point, we peer into the future. If this harbinger
continues then we might expect to see events such as these very soon.
Judges 7:16-22 What
happens next is amazing. God gives Gideon (Trump) the battle plan. Instead of
weapons of physical war (carnal weapons) the Lord gives Trump spiritual weapons,
a trumpet for the right hand and a torch for the left hand. The weapons are the
voice (word) of the Lord (the trumpets) and the power of the Holy Spirit (flames
of fire). The enemy camp is surrounded by this spiritual army and at the Lord’s
signal the trumpets are sounded and the light of the torches (the power of the
Holy Spirit) is revealed. The result is that the enemy turns against one
another (“every man’s sword against his comrade and against all the enemy’s
army”) and the army is defeated and they flee away. The defeat of America’s
enemies will be supernatural by the hand of God and He will get all of the
glory!
Judges 7:23-25 Now,
like with Gideon, many others will join the Trump movement as the enemy is pursued,
captured, and judged. Key leaders of the enemy camp will be captured and executed
like Oreb and Zeeb were.
Judges 8:1-3 But the
story does not end here. There will be certain people of America that will
still grumble that were not given credit as a part of the victory. But
eventually, they also will come to understand that it was God who gained the
victory and not mere men and God will be honored and glorified.
Judges 8:4-9 Trump and his followers (army) will pursue the
enemy beyond the borders of America, he will ask those of other nations to
help. But because the “Kings” of all this evil have yet to be taken, they will refuse
to help. There will be severe consequences for them after the “Kings” are taken
down. These “Kings” are the real evil leaders (the king pins) of the globalist
movement to establish a one-world government.
Judges 8:10-12 The
real “Kings” of the evil movement (the cabal) will flee to a retreat with a small
remnant army and feel secure. But Trump and his army will pursue them, attack
them, and will capture the “Kings” (as Zebah and Zalmunna were captured).
Judges 8:13-21 After
the battle, the nations, and people that did not support Trump’s efforts will
experience severe consequences for their non-support. And the captured “Kings” will
be killed.
Judges 8:22-28 The
people of America will want Trump to rule over them but he will say “no, the
Lord will rule over you” and there will be a great revival for a season in the
nation and throughout the nations of the earth.
Judges 8:29-35 But,
after a season of revival, good times, and prosperity, America, as it was with
Israel, will turn once again to evil, worshipping false gods, and not
remembering the Lord their God who had delivered them from their enemies. And
they will not show respect to the family of Trump in return for all he had done
for them. In the end America will fall back into the camp of the enemy.
The defeat of the evil of the current cabal will not end
Satan’s work to establish his kingdom on earth. However, this evil will be
restrained until “he who restrains” is taken out of the way (2 Thes 2:7). When
the restrainer is taken away, Satan will be released in the person of the Antichrist
to begin his work at the end of the age. Then God will move in His wrath (Rev
6:16-17) to bring righteous judgment to Satan and all who follow him whose
names are not found in the Lamb’s Book of Life, and the seven years of the
great tribulation will begin.
