    Ju.19 "Bethlehem-Judah" (2 of 2)

    Bethlehem-Judah is an indictment against the partisanship of tribes and against their tribal mentality where God delivered them out of the fiery furnace that was Egypt as 'a people' and not any particular tribe. Israel wad his first born because of his Son whom he would send to them in due time. 'In the fulness of time' speaks of his perfect will. By their disbelief they led events overtake them as with a flood.

    Gideon's shrine at Ophrah set in motion, ravages of sin dividing tribes that shall result ultimately into the twin monarchial system. Abimelech made the men of Shechem his base and brought the present schism. This lesson is relevant for us. "Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour(Ec.10:1)": Even a holocaust cannot cure a nation's apostasy. Before they can be helped they need see themselves as they are. It is God who the Shepherd of souls who is in charge.
