    Why did Gideon do the thing the Lord had told him to do at night? Judges 6:27

    • Because that's when the Lord told him he wanted it to be done

    • Because he was afraid his family and the other people of the town would see him

    • Because he didn't want to do it when Baal and Asherah were awake

    Correct Answer
    A. Because he was afraid his family and the other people of the town would see him
    Explanation
    Gideon did the thing the Lord had told him to do at night because he was afraid his family and the other people of the town would see him. This suggests that Gideon may have been concerned about the potential backlash or ridicule he could face from his community if they witnessed him carrying out the task. By doing it at night, he could maintain a level of anonymity and avoid any potential negative consequences.

    • Baal and Asherah

    Correct Answer
    A. Baal and Asherah
    Explanation
    Gideon's father worshipped Baal and Asherah, as stated in Judges 6:25. Baal and Asherah were pagan gods that were commonly worshipped in the region during that time. The worship of Baal and Asherah involved rituals and sacrifices, which were part of the religious practices of the Canaanites. Gideon's father's choice of worshipping these gods reflects the prevalent polytheistic beliefs and practices of the society in which he lived.

    Explanation
    When the 300 men of Gideon blew their trumpets, God caused the Midianites to kill each other with their swords. This suggests that the sound of the trumpets, combined with the confusion and fear it caused among the Midianites, led to chaos and infighting within their ranks. As a result, the Midianites turned against each other, resulting in their own demise. This demonstrates the power and intervention of God in assisting Gideon and his men in their battle against the Midianites.
