The period of the Judges is a time when God continued to bring deliverance to Israel when they repented of their evil and called up His name. Were he not a God of mercy and grace, Israel would have had no hope. He is also a God that keeps his Word and he had promised Abraham that his posterity would not only be preserved, but they would become a great people that would bless the nations of the earth.
At the end of the time of the judges, there was no ruler: Judges 21:25 "In those days there was no king in Israel. Every man did that which was right in his own eyes."
Sounds sort of like things are today. So thankful though that God continued to have a remnant then and now as well.
Can't wait to write about Ruth tomorrow. What a wonderful story!
