"I have more understanding than all my teachers, for your testimonies are my meditation.” Psalm 119:99
In my 20s I knew I could not out-read my liberal professors. But I took heart from this verse that I could out-meditate them.
So can you.
-John Piper

HaYom HaAdonai (The Day of the Lord) overshadows the Book of Judges. The cycle of idolatry, gentile oppression in the Land, "crying out" to the Lord, the sending of a judge, military victory/deliverance is a repeated microcosm of Jacob's Trouble and the Lord's Return. Deliverance by a judge is celebrated by prophetic foresight into ultimate, eschatological fulfillment. The Song of Deborah and Barak after their defeat of Sisera's Canaanite army is a prime example. Language within the prose is clearly parallel to eschatological passages.
1.A.
Judges 5:4 - “Lord...when you marched from the region of Edom, the earth trembled and the heavens dropped..."
1.B
Isaiah 63:1 - "Who is this who comes from Edom, is he who is splendid in his apparel, marching in the greatness of his strength?"
4.A
2.A.
Judges 5:19 - “The kings came, they fought; then fought the kings of Canaan, at Taanach, by the waters of Megiddo..."
2.B.
Revelation 16:14-16 - "to the kings of the whole world, to assemble them for battle on the great day of God...at the place that in Hebrew is called Armageddon."
3.A
Judges 5:23 "Curse Meroz, says the angel of the Lord, because they did not come to the help of the Lord."
3.B
Matthew 25:41: "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire...For I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me no drink..."
Judges 5:31: “So may all your enemies perish, O Lord! But your friends be like the sun as he rises in his might.”
4.B
Matthew 13:43: "the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father."
