Every time I read about wars that are written in the Bible, I
always see the heart and mind of God as to how He sees things.
They reveal His emotions, His thoughts and ways. In Judges
chapter 4 the children of Israel were oppressed for twenty years
under the wicked Canaanite King Jabin of Hazor. They cried unto
God for help and soon after they came to Deborah the wife of
Lapidoth for answers. She was the current Judge of Israel who sat
under a Palm tree. Yet she does not answer them a word, instead
she calls for Barak the commander of Israel's army to come to
her.  


She tells him that "God will sell Sisera in the hand of a woman."
She wonders why he has not done what God has commanded him to do.
Why he has tarried and not done according to the prescription of
war. He told her that if she did not go with him then he would
not go. So she went to war with him and the armies of Israel.
 


The Lord was already defeating Sisera the commander of King
Jabin's army when they arrived to the plain. He fled away on foot
because of a sudden flood that disabled his chariot. He fled to
Jael's tent and out she came and told him to turn into her tent.
She put a blanket on him, fed him "butter in a lordly dish," and
he fell into a deep sleep. Jael took a workman's hammer and a
tent peg nail and smote him in his temples and he died.
  


Then Barak came to her tent on foot and she came out to meet him.
She told him to come into her tent, and showed him the dead
commander. Deborah's song said, "At her feet he bowed, he fell,
he lay down: at her feet he bowed, he fell: where he bowed, there
he fell down dead."   This woman Jael the wife of Heber
fought the battle with a mantle, a cup of milk, a workman's
hammer and a nail. This story is not just for women, it is for
both men and women who love the Lord. 


The main Person in view is God in this account. Look at what He
does when He gives a charge to war. He will use His people and
give them power over and against the will of the enemy. He will
give them all out victory. He will give you courage, strength and
power. The final words of Deborah's song will be their's that
fight in the Lord's battles, and will be given the same outcome.
 "So let all thine enemies perish, O Lord: but let them that
love him be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might. And the
land had rest forty years."





"Glory be to God, we know the end of the war. The great dragon
shall be cast out and for ever destroyed, while Jesus and they
who are with him shall receive the crown. Let us sharpen our
swords to-night, and pray the Holy Spirit to nerve our arms for
the conflict. Never battle so important, never crown so
glorious." ~Charles Spurgeon
