Lesson: Judges/ Deborah: Judge and Prophetess

Today's Lesson: Deborah is mentioned in the Book of Judges (Judges 4&5). She was just one of the few prophetess mentioned in the Scriptures. She also held the office of judge. During the time of Israel's captivity by the Caananites, Deborah was raised up by G-d, for Israel's deliverance. She had strong faith in G-d. Where no man was willing to go, she was. She, along with Barak, gathered an army to fight against the Caananites and won victory for Israel. But Deborah received the recognition for the victory, not Barak. She was known as the real leader of Israel, because of her great faith in G-d
