Context Summary

Judges 6:19-27 - Face To Face With The Angel Of Jehovah

Gideon realized the momentous character of that interview. He only wanted to be sure that it was no dream or fancy, and so hence the proposal of the flesh and broth. As the fire started forth at the Angel's touch, he knew that the veil of the unseen world had been rent to send him direction and help. At first he was startled, and then the peace of God fell upon his soul. He heard the Voice that uttered a similar benediction in Daniel 10:19 and John 20:26. The peace of God henceforth kept His heart and mind.

On Gideon's side, God required an act of immediate obedience: the destruction-though they stood on his father's property-of the hideous emblems of cruel and unclean rites and the substitution of an altar to the Lord. Ten of his household servants, beneath the spell of his personality, aided him in this heroic deed, which exposed him to disownment by his family and the forfeiture of his life by the townsfolk. God demands that we should love Him best, Luke 14:26-27; Luke 14:33. But when our heart is perfect toward Him, He shows Himself strong in our behalf, 2 Chronicles 16:9. [source]
