The book of Joshua speaks of a high-point in the history of God’s
people, Israel. By faith, they took possession of the land which the
Lord had provided for them. The book of Judges tells of the downward
slope - “ ... The people of Israel did what the Lord considered evil
... “ (Judges 2:10-15). Although this was a bad time in the history of
Israel, there was also some encouragement - “Then the Lord would send
judges to rescue them from those who robbed them” (Judges 2:16). Sadly,
the people wouldn’t listen to the judges (Judges 2:17-19). There were
difficult times ahead for the people of Israel. The Lord allowed the
nations to remain in the land. This was His way of testing His people
(Judges 2:20-23).
