Darkness (Judges 19 - 21)

Share a commentWhat happens when a society rejects God’s truth? Judges 19–21 provides one of the darkest and most disturbing accounts in all of Scripture. Violence, corruption, and moral failure dominate Israel because everyone does what is right in their own eyes. They justify evil, defend wickedness, and make decisions without ever seeking God’s wisdom.This episode explores what happens when people abandon God’s authority. The results are tragic—immorality, violence, and devastating consequences. Instead of repentance, Israel tries to fix sin with more sin, leading to greater destruction. This final section of Judges is a sobering warning about what happens when people determine morality for themselves instead of following God’s design.But is there any hope? What can you learn from Israel’s failure? This lesson will challenge you to consider where you turn for truth and why following God’s Word is the only path to peace and satisfaction. If you’ve ever questioned why the world feels broken, this episode will give you a clear, biblical answer.Support Us: https://www.wisdomonline.org/giveStephen Davey's newest book, The Disciples Prayer, is available now. https://www.wisdomonline.org/store/view/the-disciples-prayer-hardbackThe Christian's Compass is a companion study guide that corresponds to each of these lessons along The Wisdom Journey.
