Judges 19:27-30 Compound of beast and devil!

 ”When her master arose in the morning, and opened the doors of the house and went out to go his way, there was his concubine, fallen at the door of the house with her hands on the threshold.“ ‭‭Judges‬ ‭19‬:‭27‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

”And he said to her, “Get up and let us be going.” But there was no answer. So the man lifted her onto the donkey; and the man got up and went to his place.“

‭‭Judges‬ ‭19‬:‭28‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Get up and let us be going: This is a painfully clear demonstration of the heartlessness of the Levite towards his concubine.” (Guzik)

”When he entered his house he took a knife, laid hold of his concubine, and divided her into twelve pieces, limb by limb, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel.“

‭‭Judges‬ ‭19‬:‭29‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

“Divided her into twelve pieces, limb by limb, and sent her throughout all the territory of Israel: This was an obviously grotesque way to deliver a message, but the method worked. It was tragic that the Levite did not show this kind of concern for righteousness earlier.” (Guzik)

”And so it was that all who saw it said, “No such deed has been done or seen from the day that the children of Israel came up from the land of Egypt until this day. Consider it, confer, and speak up!”“ Judges‬ ‭19‬:‭30‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Therefore, what are we here for? Why would the Lord allow this in the Bible?

Clarke’s commentary from yesterday says it all: “Rascals and miscreants of the deepest dye; worse than brutes, being a compound of beast and devil inseparably blended.”

If mankind Isn’t restrained by the word of God we would all become “a compound of beast and devil inseparably blended.” Mob mentality would rule.

It’s Jesus Christ, Bible study and devotionals that help me put on the full armor of God.

Thank you for allowing me to send you this devotional and keeping me accountable!
