An Outline Introduction to the Bible—Judges

Bible: Divine revelation of God’s plan for redemption in Christ, kingdom rule in Christ, and the Glory of God in Christ—Resulting in love for God and man 1

Part 1: Old Testament—Redemption in Christ and the kingdom of God anticipated [Promised] 2

II. The Prophets: The prophetic history, and call to the nation to look to Yahweh as king and to anticipate His coming kingdom

  1. The Former Prophets: The faithfulness of Yahweh and the failure of the nation to faithfully follow Him 3
    1. Judges: The nation failed to recognize 4 Yahweh as King, but King Yahweh was faithful to send them both discipline and deliverers
      1. The failure of the second generation to possess the land (Jdg 1-3:6)
      2. The faithfulness of Yahweh to discipline and deliver His people (Jdg 3:7-16:31)
      3. The failure of the nation to recognize Yahweh as King (Judges 17-21)

1 2Ti 3:15; Eph 1:3-14; Mat 22:37-40; cf. Gen 1:1ff; Isa 45:18-25; Dan 2:44; Zec 14:9, 16-17; Rev 22:3-5

2 See for example Gen 3:15; Gen 12:3; Psa 2; Psa 22; Psa 118:22-23; 1Ch 17:11-14; Isa 7:14; Isa 9:6; Isa 53:1-12; cf. Luk 24:27, 44-47; Jhn 1:45

3 See Deu 28-30

4 I take Jdg 17:6; Jdg 18:1; Jdg 19:1 and Jdg 21:25 as thematic—but not as an apologetic for the need of a human monarchy in Israel, rather as a comment on the next generation’s demand for a human king and Samuel and Yahweh’s disapproval of that demand (see 1Sa 8:1-22; 1Sa 10:17-19; 1Sa 12:1-25). Yahweh is Israel’s King—even if men do not submit to Him as such. He is able to govern in spite of the Nation’s sin.
