Hey, folks, this week we're looking at Judges 2. It's a wild one. So, in this chapter, God gets mad at the Israelites for not following his commandments and he sends a messenger to tell them they're gonna be punished. And then, as if that weren't bad enough, the messenger tells them that all the battles they've been fighting are gonna be for nothing. So, yeah, that's fun. Eventually, the Israelites realize their mistake and start worshipping other gods, which doesn't go well for them. As punishment, God sends the Angel of Death to take away all the firstborn sons of the people. So yeah, that's a bummer. But then God has a change of heart and decides to forgive the Israelites and gives them a chance to start over. Moral of the story: don't mess with God.
