Judges; Chapter 7 Verse 4-
4 But the Lord said to Gideon, “There are still too many men. Take them down to the water, and I will thin them out for you there. If I say, ‘This one shall go with you,’ he shall go; but if I say, ‘This one shall not go with you,’ he shall not go.”
4 تب خداوند نے جدعون سے کہا ، “اب بھی ضرورت سے زیادہ لوگ ہیں ان لوگوں کو پانی کے پاس لے آؤ اور وہاں میں ان کی آزما ئش تمہا رے لئے کرو ں گا۔ اگر میں کہوں گا یہ آدمی تمہا رے ساتھ جا ئے گا تو وہ جا ئے گا۔ اگر میں کہوں گا کہ یہ آدمی تمہا رے ساتھ نہیں جا ئے گا تو وہ نہیں جا ئے گا۔”
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
God gave Gideon the resposibility to save Israelites from Midianites, Amalekites and other eastern peoples
So God told Gideon not all men will go for war against Midian otherwise they will boast against me that their own strength saved them – so any one who tremble with fear may leave so 22,000 men left
God told Gideon that there are still more men so I will reduce them more for you – only those will go with u for war which I will tell you
When we returns to God, he plans for our rescue, and His plans are always better - just trust and obey and all will go well
May God give us wisdom to understand His Word and apply it in our lives to have a blissful life on earth
