Prayers in the Bible: Gideon (concluding thoughts).
Finishing the thought from the last post; until the time of Solomon there would be a gradual gain of Promised Land but never a full obtaining of all the territory; that won't come until the Millennium. There would be an increase when Godly kings ruled; and temporary losses when wicked ones were ruling. After Solomon; and the following exiles there would never again be such a nation with the lengthy diaspora until just before the New Testament times; and the further one after AD 70 until 1948. We; of course see the enemies of Israel and in fact all nations of the world going against Israel as we expect with the war of Armageddon soon to come. Nothing has changed much; we see New Age mysticism among many Jews who are in reality only Jews in name rather than believing the Old Testament exclusively; and many are into Kabballah and Talmudic practices and traditions. Tel Aviv is known for gay pride events; and sodomite activities. Christians are; as far as I am aware unable to be citizens there and street preaching can bring a death sentence; with any Messianic Jews likely at least to be shunned and cut off from their families; similar to what we see with Muslim converts to Christianity. Their ultimate sin clearly is rejection of the Messiah who they would have had peace under if they hadn't rejected Him the first time ( Matt. 23:37-39). But; alas this was not meant to be.
A couple other points:
TESTING GOD
We see Gideon putting God to the test with the fleece incidents. This reminds us somewhat of the bargaining Moses did with the Angel of the Lord. Clearly this was a manifestation of God likely the preincarnate Christ as we see in this incident as well.
Part of the receptiveness is because this is God's chosen vessel; but also of course there was a willing heart to obey God's commands even when no doubt actions taken would be ridiculed and worse by the surrounding peoples or their own families.
