, r v i LESSCIl IN THE TIMS OF THE JUDGE3 Kit Lesson I a International Sunday School For July 6, 1952. Memory Selection: , "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord," iPsalm 83: 12. ' Leaaota Text: Judges 2: 8-18; 21: 25 With this lesson, we begin study of the rise of the (Hebrew Kingdom,' , from the time of the Judges to the reign of King Solomon. It would be wll for n in ,Hiia Hav to remember t that the laws of God are immutable, and the experiences of the Israelites will be our experiences, unless we re member the words of our memory se lection, "Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord." After crossing the river Jordan into the Promised Land, the children of Israel, under the leadership of Joshua, had to conquer the territory. Canaan was divided into twelve portions and each portion assigned to one of the twelve tribes, whose tasic it was w conquer and destroy the people who lived in. its assigned' territory. Borne of the tribes accomplished this, while others made arrangements with the natives and lived together with them. This make-shift arrangement resulted almost disastrously for the Israelites. The Canaanites, who possessed the land, were an idolatrous people, wor shipping many gods, particularly Baal and Ashtaroth. Their -state of "civi- 'lization was higher than that of the Israelites. As a result of their close association, many of the Israelites took Canaanite women for their wives and gradually absorbed into their minds the superstitions and fears of their heathen companions. A very important warning to par ents today is given in this (passage from Judges. It declared that after "Joshua and his generation, having been gathered unto their fathers, ; there arose another generation which knew not the Lord, nor yet the work which he had wrought for Israel. And the children of Israel did that : which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and served as Baalim." The past history of our country proves that iwe have a heritage based upon the love of and worship of God. Our forefathers suffered untold hard' ships and some even died in order that they and their children might wor- , ship God as theylSw Jit. Our "Gov ernment was thus founded and even our coins declare the 'faith which the founders of our . government had in God. n-p i -'"- Shall we, like the Israelites of old, become so absorbed in other things the making of money and the provid ing of luxuries for ourselves and our families that we, too, forget God? Or,: has that already happened to America, as a whole? Are we pass ing on to our children the Heritage we have received from those who have gone before us t v ' " The history of the period of the Judges can be told in three states: i 1. Apostasy: And the children of Israel did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah. 2. (Punishment: And the anger of Jehovah was kin dled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hands of their enemies. 3. Penitence and forgiveness: And Jehovah raised them up Judges, and saved them out of the hands of those that despoiled v them.' 4. Apostasy again: And it came to pass, when the judge; was dead, that they turn ed back, : and dealt more ; corruptly ' than their fathers. ' James S. Dennis has declared: "iWe can readily believe that God main' tains a sovereign control over the his torical development ; of nations in modern as well as ancient times. is as truly the God of nations now as he was then. The (Hebrew writers described with realistic diction the sovereign workings of God among the nations, and in forms of speech which made clear their vivid recognition' of the direct:. agency of an overruling Providence. "The modern historian, however, de vout his mood, may not, perhaps, use biblican formulae, but this does not necessarily indicate any deliberate in tention on his part to ignore or ban ish, the idea of God's sovereignity and his supreme guidance of the contem porary life of nations. He simply brings his trend of thought together with his literary style and termi nology, into conformity with preval ent philosophical theories of the mode and order 'of divine activities as re lated to historical progress. "A new 'view of the divine methods of working requires hew forms of ex pression, which, while giving promi nence to secondary causes and evo lutionary processes, do not rule out the IFirst Cause or make the exist ence of supreme Intelligence any less essential in a true philosophy of his tory." . , 'When one reads the book of Judges, one cannot help but wonder why God did not cast off the Israelites com pletely, but if we will read Verse 17 of Judges 2, the description is so fa miliar and ??t for us today that we should all t.ari- Cod that (He is a patient, ever-loving Father, who still looks after Els own. , i T1" b THIS PAGE MADE Lynch Funeral Home PHONE 2811 , Simon's OUTFITTERS FOR THE FAMILY Robertson's Cleaners - PHONE 2976 ' HERTFORD, N.
