The last five chapters of Judges has the most reprehensible story in the Bible—in my opinion—other than the evil treatment that Jesus of Nazareth experienced in His lifetime. The list of judges is not mentioned here and the account begins (17:6) and ends (21:25) under the following remark: “People did whatever they felt like doing” (The Message). A sampling of this lifestyle can be seen or heard in nearly every newscast in the world today. Then—it was a part of daily life in the promised land. As you meditate on this, please turn everything off around you and do it alone. Pray after reading each chapter. You will need to.
