Judges; Chapter 6 Verse 23-24
23 But the Lord said to him, “Peace! Do not be afraid. You are not going to die.”
24 So Gideon built an altar to the Lord there and called it The Lord Is Peace. To this day it stands in Ophrah of the Abiezrites
23 لیکن خداوند نے جدعو ن سے کہا، “تیری سلامتی ہو ! بالکل نہ ڈرو! تم نہیں مروگے۔” 24 اس لئے جد عون کے خدا وند کی عبادت کے لئے اس جگہ پر ایک قربان گاہ بنائی جِد عون نے اس قربان گاہ کانام ، “خدا وند سلامتی ہے ” رکھا۔ وہ قربان گاہ اب تک عُفرہ میں ہے جہاں ابیعزر کا خاندان رہتا ہے۔
My point of view about above verses
Lord became very angry with Israel and said as this nation has violated the covenant I made with their ancestors – I will no longer drive other nations out and will test Israel through them whether they follow the way of the Lord as their ancestors did
When Israel cried out to Lord because of Midian –
Angel of Lord appeared to Gideon and said mighty warrior – lord is with you
God told Gideon go in strength and save Israel out of Midians’s hand- As Gideon showing doubt that God is with us – but God said Am I not sending you
God told Gideon – I will be with you and you will strike all Midianites leaving none alive as Geaden said I am the weakest in the family of Manasseh
Gideon said if I found favor in your eyes Lord- stay here until I bring my offering and Lord waited
On Gideon offering of meat & bread – God’s angel said to place your offering on a rock and he touched it with his staff & fire flared from the rock, consuming the meat and the bread
God told Gideon peace be with you – don’t be afraid – you will not die as he was afraid after seeing Lord’s angel face to face
When we returns to God, he plans for our rescue
May God give us wisdom to understand His Word and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
