Judges 7:1 Then Jerubbaal, who is Gideon, and all the people that were with him, rose up early, and pitched beside the well of Harod: so that the host of the Midianites were on the north side of them, by the hill of Moreh, in the valley.
  • Gideon means warrior, he that cuts down
  • Host = camp
  • Jerubbaal, who is Gideon means (contender with Baal), the surname of Gideon, which he acquired in consequence of destroying the altar of Baal, when his father defended him from the vengeance of the Abiezrites.
  • Midianites are the Arabians. Abraham and Keturah son

  • Last Days any time you teach God's word = you're a type of Gideon. You are tearing down Satan's altar of Baal and building the Altar unto The Lord
2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands, lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me.
  • Israel had 32,000 troops, but the Midianites had 135,000 soldiers
  • Israel was already outnumbered four to one.
  • God is going to thin Israel's numbers even further so there will be no doubt that it was the Lord who delivered them.
3 Now therefore go to, proclaim in the ears of the people, saying, Whosoever is fearful and afraid, let him return and depart early from mount Gilead. And there returned of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand.
  •  Probably "the wood of Ephraim", on east side; so named here out of compliment to the half tribe on west side (2 Sam 18:6).
  • Two out of every three were cowards.
  • Now Israel is outnumbered more than thirteen to one.
  • This is still too many troops in Israel's army for God's liking.
  • Mount Gilead = What was more natural than that the half tribe of Manasseh (USA & Canada) on the west side of Jordan should so name a mount in their tribe in compliment to the famous mount on the east side?
  • Gideon was of that tribe. Probably "the wood of Ephraim", on east side; so named here out of compliment to the half tribe on west side.
  • Twenty = probably 20 + 2,000 = 2,020.
  • Judges 12:6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.
  • 1 Samuel 6:19 And he smote the men of Beth-shemesh, because they had looked into the ark of the Lord, even he smote of the people fifty thousand and threescore and ten men: and the people lamented, because the Lord had smitten many of the people with a great slaughter.
  • If there remained 10,000, there must have been 10,000 + 2,020 = 12,020; and, as only 300 remained, 9,700 must have gone away at the second testing.
  • Only 1,000 of each tribe = 12,000, sent out to fight in Numbers 31:4,5
  • Numbers 31:4 Of every tribe a thousand, throughout all the tribes of Israel, shall ye send to the war.
    5 So there were delivered out of the thousands of Israel, a thousand of every tribe, twelve thousand armed for war.
  • The first tribe to be conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh, in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
  • Manasseh means "forgetfulness" and if there has ever been a people forgetful of all their past, it is the tribe of Manasseh-Israel people in United States.

  • Why did God love less Esau?
  • Esau (Russia) despised his birthright, He didn't care about his birthright, He sold it
  • God knew the soul He placed in the flesh body of this man, who was called Esau.
  • Genesis 25:32 And Esau said, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this birthright do to me?
    33 And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.
  • This has nothing to do with the people in Russia that Love the Lord. John 3:16 (KJV) For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
4 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The people are yet too many; bring them down unto the water, and I will try them for thee there: and it shall be, that of whom I say unto thee, This shall go with thee, the same shall go with thee; and of whomsoever I say unto thee, This shall not go with thee, the same shall not go.
  • The number 300 means, The strength of the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God
  • 300 = Pastor Murray tells us this is a type of the very elect from all races, in the last days.
  • Matthew 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
  • Mark 13:9 But take heed to yourselves: for they shall deliver you up to councils; and in the synagogues ye shall be beaten: and ye shall be brought before rulers and kings for my sake, for a testimony against them.
    10 And the gospel must first be published among all nations.
    11 But when they shall lead you, and deliver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye shall speak, neither do ye premeditate: but whatsoever shall be given you in that hour, that speak ye: for it is not ye that speak, but the Holy Spirit.
  • Luke 21:18 But there shall not an hair of your head perish.
  • Matthew 10:19 But when they deliver you up, take no thought how or what ye shall speak: for it shall be given you in that same hour what ye shall speak.
  • Matthew 24:42  Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come.
  • Matthew 24:44 Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.
  • Luke 12:12 For the Holy Spirit shall teach you in the same hour what ye ought to say.
  • Luke 12:40 Be ye therefore ready also: for the Son of man cometh at an hour when ye think not.
  • John 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live.
  • Hour = Satan's tribulation = 5 months
  • Revelation 9:4 And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads.
    5 And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a man.
    6 And in those days shall men seek death, and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and death shall flee from them.
  • Last days = In the book of Hosea chapters 2, 4, 7, 8. 9 gives a pretty good glance at the sad state of His people in this day. God says, Israel (the 13 Christian Nations) has slideth back as a backslider, they are half-baked; strangers have taken over their power, and they are no longer young and don't even realize it.
  • Joel warns us of the one world government system, described in Revelation that shall take over the monetary system and control the world, until the tree is debarked with nothing left.
  • He says a nation is come up upon God's land (Christian Nations).
  • 2 Chronicles 7:14 If my people, which are called by My name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
  • The number God had in mind for the armies of Israel was three hundred.
  • By these three hundred God would deliver Israel from the Midianites
  • There was no room for anyone of Israel to say, "We delivered ourselves".
  • There was another place that Israel though about invoking the "no cowards rule", but in this case there would have been no one left in the armies of Israel.
  • Good reading 1 Samuel 17
5 So he brought down the people unto the water: and the Lord said unto Gideon, Every one that lappeth of the water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
  • Lappeth means without kneeling down as idolaters were accustomed to do (1Ki 19:18) (2Ch 29:9).
  • These do not follow the one world order
  • Esther 3:2 And all the king's servants, that were in the king's gate, bowed, and reverenced Haman: for the king had so commanded concerning him. But Mordecai bowed not, nor did him reverence.
    as = according as.
6 And the number of them that lapped, putting their hand to their mouth, were three hundred men: but all the rest of the people bowed down upon their knees to drink water.
  • The number 300 means, The strength of the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God. (Act 2)
  • In the last days the very elect will be with the two witnesses, 4th vial, Rev 16:8-9, Rev 11, Zech 4, Acts 2
  • Rev 16:8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial upon the sun; and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire.
    9 And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, which hath power over these plagues: and they repented not to give him glory.
  • Acts 2 this fire is the holy spirirt.
  • Acts 2:1 And when the day of Pentecost was fully come, they were all with one accord in one place.
    2 And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
    3 And there appeared unto them cloven tongues like as of fire, and it sat upon each of them.
    4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.
    5 And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout men, out of every nation under heaven.
  • Mark 13, Matthew 24 and Luke21, what will happened just before the Lord's Day, the 7th trump

7 And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place.

8 So the people took victuals in their hand, and their trumpets: and he sent all the rest of Israel every man unto his tent, and retained those three hundred men: and the host of Midian was beneath him in the valley.
  • The 300 are called.
  • 300 means The strength of the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God
9 And it came to pass the same night, that the Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee down unto the host; for I have delivered it into thine hand.
  • Notice again this time The Lord told Gideon to go at night.
10 But if thou fear to go down, go thou with Phurah thy servant down to the host:

11 And thou shalt hear what they say; and afterward shall thine hands be strengthened to go down unto the host. Then went he down with Phurah his servant unto the outside of the armed men that were in the host.

12 And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
  • Kings of the east the 6th vial = Revelation 16:2 And the sixth angel poured out his vial upon the great river Euphrates; and the water thereof was dried up, that the way of the kings of the east might be prepared.
  • The word east is two words = Kedem and Mizrach
  • Kings of East = Where did he tells us to go?
  • Euphrates is the borders between Truth and Baal (Babylon means confusion)
  • The Arabia Nations that join the East side of the great river Euphrates = Palestine, Arabia, Mesopotamia and Babylonia = Parts of Turkey, parts Syria, parts Iraq, Libya, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan
  • EAST = From Smith Bible Dictionary
  • EAST =The Hebrew term kedem properly means that which is before or in front of a person, and was applied to the east form the custom of turning in that direction when describing the points of the compass, before, behind, the right and the left representing respectively east, west, south and north.
  • Job 23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
    9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
  • The term as generally used refers to the lands lying immediately eastward of Palestine, Arabia, Mesopotamia and Babylonia; on the other hand mizrach is used of the far east with a less definite signification.
  • Mizrach = Far east China
  • MIDIAN = The Midianites are described as true Arabs, and possessed cattle and flocks and camels as the sand of the seashore for multitude. The spoil taken in the war of both Moses and of Gideon is remarkable. (from Smith's Bible Dictionary)
  • Mdianities were not bad people, but look = who's with them The Arabia, coming from the east
  • Amalek, a descendant of Esau; also his posterity and their country: Amalek. = Russia
  • Grasshoppers = locusts =Arabia = they're coming from the east.
  • As the sand by the sea side for multitude
  • Why does God refer to these people as Locusts?
  • They come in groups (from their rapid increase) and try to destroy everything in their path. They use a gentle appearance shown by the reference to having "hair of women", by their flattery to deceive and a false gentleness. But their teachings and actions will have the same effect as a lion when it attacks.
  • Who's army is this?
  • Joel 2:25 And I (God Army) will restore to you the years that the locust (Satan's seed, the kenites) hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you.
  • Study Judges 6,7,8
  • The Midianites were of son of Abraham and Keturah progenitor of the Midianites, or Arabians dwelling principally in the desert north of the peninsula of Arabia.
  • Midian = descendant of Abraham, by Keturah. Moses was called in this land (Arabia); Mahomet also arose there. backside. Would be the West side, very fertile. First mention of Desert of Sinai is in connection with feeding a flock!
  • Keturah the wife of Abraham after the death of Sarah
  • Amalekites were of Amalek, a descendant of Esau; also his posterity and their country:
  • The children of the east = Judges 7:12  And the Midianites and the Amalekites and all the children of the east lay along in the valley like grasshoppers for multitude; and their camels were without number, as the sand by the sea side for multitude.
  • Study the book of Joel, the 4 stages of the locusts.
  • Joel 2:25 And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, My great army which I sent among you.
  • 1st stage the Gnawer The Conspiracy against God's children, deception of their lies, false teaching, ripping people off, new laws to enforce the people to do things against their religious beliefs, corona-virus vaccines mandates, they fine and tax businesses right out of business.
  • 2nd stage the Swarmer, the grasshoppers, the imago stage, their sounds come out with peace, but what do they do?  A day of darkness and of gloominess.
    How does Satan's seed, Cain's sons, and the church of Satan, deceived the nation?
  •  By lies
  • The Conspiracy is the deception of the end times. They almost bring in Satan's one world order. They try to control everything.
  • 3rd stage of the locusts. 3rd stage the Devourer's the young locusts,  these are very evil,  You can hear their sound all around the world, they want to take over the world. They want to bring in Satan's one world order, under one god their god. (Joel 1-3) (Revelation 13:18, Bullinger's notes.) (Daniel 11:13) Stronger army with much riches..
  • 4th stages the Consumers the fallen angels. This has not happened yet. 
    Satan and the supernatural creatures will appeal by the sound of their wings. False wings, They claim to be pastors, a man of God, but they are false prophets (Matthew 24, Luke 21 and Mark 13)
    Matthew 24:34 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass, till all these things be fulfilled.
    35 Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.
    36 But of that
    day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of heaven, but my Father only.
    37 But as the days of Noah were, so shall also the coming of the Son of man be.
  • Genesis 37:28 Then there passed by Midianites merchantmen; and they drew and lifted up Joseph out of the pit, and sold Joseph to the Ishmaelite for twenty pieces of silver: and they brought Joseph into Egypt.
  • Joseph brother sold him, they were jealous of him, they conspired against him to slay him.
13 And when Gideon was come, behold, there was a man that told a dream unto his fellow, and said, Behold, I dreamed a dream, and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the host of Midian, and came unto a tent, and smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the tent lay along.
 
14 And his fellow answered and said, This is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a man of Israel: for into his hand hath God delivered Midian, and all the host.
  • All of host = children of the east (Rev 16:12)
15 And it was so, when Gideon heard the telling of the dream, and the interpretation thereof, that he worshipped, and returned into the host of Israel, and said, Arise; for the Lord hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian.
 
16 And he divided the three hundred men into three companies, and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.
  • Gideon only had 300 men. Notice he divided the three hundred men into three companies and he put a trumpet in every man's hand, with empty pitchers, and lamps within the pitchers.. When they went out to fight the Midian, they didn't know how many men were in Gideon army because it was dark.
  • Lamps = torches, which smoulder till waved in the air.
  • 300 means = The strength of the Holy Spirit of the Almighty God
  • Notice The Lord told them to go at night
17 And he said unto them, Look on me, and do likewise: and, behold, when I come to the outside of the camp, it shall be that, as I do, so shall ye do.

18 When I blow with a trumpet, I and all that are with me, then blow ye the trumpets also on every side of all the camp, and say, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.

19 So Gideon, and the hundred men that were with him, came unto the outside of the camp in the beginning of the middle watch; and they had but newly set the watch: and they blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that were in their hands.

20 And the three companies blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps in their left hands, and the trumpets in their right hands to blow withal: and they cried, The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon.

21 And they stood every man in his place round about the camp: and all the host ran, and cried, and fled.

22 And the three hundred blew the trumpets, and the Lord set every man's sword against his fellow, even throughout all the host: and the host fled to Beth-shittah in Zererath, and to the border of Abel-meholah, unto Tabbath.
  • Who with them? The Lord set every man's sword against his fellow. They started fighting each other.
  • So what going to happen in the last days to the locust army, the media, the one world order?
  • They are going to start fight again each other.
  • Feb 2022 this is happening now.
23 And the men of Israel gathered themselves together out of Naphtali, and out of Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued after the Midianites.
  • Manasseh & Canada, the USA the gathering of all the tribes. In God we Trust. Nation Under God
  • Asher = Sweden
  • Zebulun = France
  • Naphtali = Norway
  • Christian Nations
24 And Gideon sent messengers throughout all mount Ephraim, saying, Come down against the Midianites, and take before them the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. Then all the men of Ephraim gathered themselves together, and took the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan.
  • Notice Gideon sent messengers throughout all the mount Ephraim (Great Britain) to come down against the Midianites
  • Ephraim = Great Britain we start with 721 B.C. when Samaria, the capital of the northern Kingdom of Israel, fell to the Assyrians. Exactly 2520 years from that date, Great Britain became a Common wealth January 1, 1881.
25 And they took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb; and they slew Oreb upon the rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at the winepress of Zeeb, and pursued Midian, and brought the heads of Oreb and Zeeb to Gideon on the other side Jordan.
  • Two princes = Compare Psalms 83:11, Isaiah 10:26 =  took two princes of the Midianites, Oreb and Zeeb
  • Psalm 83:11 Make their nobles like Oreb, and like Zeeb: yea, all their princes as Zebah, and as Zalmunna:
  • Isaiah 10:26 And the LORD of hosts shall stir up a scourge for him according to the slaughter of Midian at the rock of Oreb: and as his rod was upon the sea, so shall he lift it up after the manner of Egypt.
  • Rock of Oreb = the "raven's crag," the spot, east of Jordan, at which the Midianite chieftain Oreb with thousands of his countrymen, fell by the hand of the Ephraimites, and which probably acquired its name therefrom. It is mentioned in.
  • Oreb means (raven), one of the chieftains of the Midianite host which invaded Israel, and was defeated and driven back by Gideon.
  • Zeeb means (wolf), one of the two "princes" of Midian in the great invasion of Israel. (B.C. about 1250.) He is always named with Oreb.
 
Exactly 2520 years from the exile of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
 
  The first tribe to be conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh, in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.

(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.

He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them among the heathens (like lost sheep)
