Gideon leads his 300 troops into battle with some unusual weapons and a unique battle plan. Nathan and Emily discuss how the Divine Council Worldview might explain why this plan was effect by comparing Gideon’s battle with Elisha’s servant’s vision of God’s army. We also see why Gideon may have been the closest thing to royalty in Israel at this time, and how his desire for revenge turns his heart away from God. And we ask the question, were Gideon and his father the first kings of Israel?
