'And theLorddelivered them into the hand of Midian seven years(6:1b)'.
Gideon was a new creation and he had to build up his life as mighty man of valor in complete trust and it is signified by God's command,'And build an altar unto theLordthy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place,' The Spirit clues us in its significance: Christ is the rock and foundation on which he had to grow unto the measure God had in mind.
And it came to pass the same night, that theLordsaid unto him, Take thy father's young bullock, even the second bullock of seven years old, and throw down the altar of Baal that thy father hath, and cut down the grove that is by it:
26And build an altar unto theLordthy God upon the top of this rock, in the ordered place, and take the second bullock, and offer a burnt sacrifice with the wood of the grove which thou shalt cut down.
27Then Gideon took ten men of his servants, and did as theLordhad said unto him: and so it was, because he feared his father's household, and the men of the city, that he could not do it by day, that he did it by night.
"At the ordered place"
