Judges 4:11-13 Iron Chariots!

 11Now Heber the Kenite had moved away from the Kenites, the descendants of Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, and had pitched his tent by the great tree of Zaanannim, which was near Kedesh.

12When Sisera was told that Barak son of Abinoam had gone up Mount Tabor, 13he summoned all nine hundred of his iron chariots and all the men with him, from Harosheth-hagoyim to the River Kishon.

“a. Heber the Kenite: These were distant descendants of Israel, through Jethro, the priest of Midian and the father-in-law of Moses, back to Abraham and his second wife Keturah (Genesis 25:1-4).

b. So Sisera gathered together all his chariots, nine hundred chariots of iron: This was sophisticated and impressive military technology. The armies of Israel, under the direction of Barak and Deborah, were at a great disadvantage.” (Guzik)

Iron Chariots!

Sophisticated and impressive military technology against mere men! But wait!

1 Corinthians 1:27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.

That same biblical principle applies to us as followers of Jesus Christ! We may be weak, old, handicapped etc but with the love of Jesus we can change our world and those around us!

What will happen when 10,000 men meet 900 sophisticated and impressive iron chariots? Stay tuned!
