Judges 9-10
from One Accord · host The Exalted Christ
Judges 9-10 reveals one of the darkest chapters in Israel's history. Abimelech murders 70 of his own brothers to seize power, and the people of Shechem cheer him on. But when God sends an evil spirit to tear the alliance apart, it raises one of Scripture's most uncomfortable questions: Does a good God use evil means to accomplish righteous ends? Join Joe, Eric, and Greg as they unpack Jotham's prophetic parable of the trees, wrestle with whether Abimelech was actually a judge, and explore how Israel's repentance in chapter 10 appeared to change God's heart — or did it?
