Judges Week 10: A Nation in Decline – Judges 19–21

Judges concludes with a deeply sobering illustration of what the kingdom of this world is like. While the author doesn’t shrink from revealing the horrors of what humanity becomes when they reject God as king, he nonetheless ends his history of the judges on a hopeful note. He invites us to look through the gloom of “those days” to a new day when “the kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his [King], and he shall reign forever and ever” (Rev 11:15).

That day is coming! And it comes courtesy of a willing Savior—and now enthroned King—whose Father sent him out the doors of heaven into the arms of a worthless mob intent on doing him harm. While we “worthless fellows” blindly stumbled around seeking other saviors, Jesus quietly laid down his life for ours. Now freed from sin’s tyranny, previously “worthless fellows” have become citizens of Heaven’s kingdom, anticipating the day when all the earth does what is “right” in God’s eyes.
