In contrast to Joshua where obedient people conquered the land through trust in the power of God, during Judges, a disobedient and idolatrous people are frequently defeated because of their rebellion against God. In seven distinct cycles of sin, Judges shows how the nation has set aside God's law and in it place "everyone did what was right in his own eyes" (21:25). Result: corruption from within and oppression from without. From time to time God raises up military champions to throw off the yoke of bondage and restore the nation to pure worship. But all too soon the 'sin cycle' begins again as the nation's spiritual temperature grows steadily colder.
