Sermon Tone Analysis

JUDGES 2

 

·         Israel's good behavior under Joshua,  and the elders that outlived him,  #Jud 2:6-9;

·         their idolatries they fell into afterwards,  which greatly provoked the Lord to anger,  #Jud 2:10-15;

·         the goodness of God to them nevertheless,  in raising up judges to deliver them out of the hands of their enemies,  of which there are many instances in the following chapter,  #Jud 2:16-18;

·         Yet upon the demise of such persons, they relapsed into idolatry which caused the anger of God to be hot against them, and to determine not to drive out the Canaanites utterly from them, but to leave them among them to try them,  #Jud 2:19-23.
