God’s sovereignty in history is amazing. He truly doth “depose kings and raise up others” (Dan 2:21). This this narrative in Judges, God brings judgement upon Israel for its spiritual adultery from one of its own. The bramble rises up and seems to succeed to successfully subvert justice, but his end is sure. God’s kingdom will be established as the highest of the mountains, justice and righteousness issuing therefrom. He uses the physically lowliest of people (a woman) to bring his wrath, at the same time giving us an epic portrayal of His victory over the serpent, “that great deceiver that is Satan”, on Golgotha.
