Victory and Defeat in the Promised Land Judges 21:1-25

We have come to the end of the book of Judges and as we’ve seen throughout this book what happens when a nation’s spiritual and moral state sinks to such a level that the theme of their lives is “everyone did what is right in their own eyes”. Israel who started out with so much promise has turned aside to do what is right in their own sight, where they call evil good and good evil, and when we get to the point where we can’t tell the difference between right and wrong, trusting in self, then all you can expect is defeat and disappointment.
