095 | Samuel as judge (1 Samuel 7)

Picture this: it's around 1050 BCE, during what archaeologists call Iron Age I. The ancient world has already experienced the great Bronze Age collapse about 150 years earlier, when major empires fell and Sea Peoples migrated across the Mediterranean. Now, in this new Iron Age world, city-states and tribal peoples are establishing new identities and power structures. In this landscape, a small hill-country people called the Israelites are trying to figure out who they really are. This is the world we're stepping into today as we explore one of the most dramatic chapters in their early history - 1 Samuel chapter 7.Source:https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hYaoc5HkJd_MuE03wgHnDAOr5P_3Ysa1/view
