It was a time of vulnerability and uncertainty, as night often symbolizes in Scripture. The timing underscores God's sovereignty and His ability to work in unexpected ways. Nighttime encounters with God are seen elsewhere, such as with Jacob in <a href="/genesis/32-22.htm">Genesis 32:22-32</a>.<p><b>the LORD said to Gideon</b><br>The direct communication from the LORD highlights the personal relationship between God and Gideon. This divine interaction is consistent with God's pattern of calling and guiding leaders in Israel, as seen with Moses in <a href="/exodus/3.htm">Exodus 3</a> and Joshua in <a href="/joshua/1.htm">Joshua 1</a>. It emphasizes God's initiative in delivering His people.<p><b>Get up and go down against the camp</b><br>This command is a call to action, requiring faith and obedience from Gideon. The phrase "go down" suggests a descent, possibly indicating the geographical setting where the Midianite camp was located in a valley. This mirrors other biblical narratives where God calls His servants to confront challenges directly, such as David against Goliath in <a href="/1_samuel/17.htm">1 Samuel 17</a>.<p><b>for I have delivered it into your hand</b><br>This assurance of victory is a common theme in the Old Testament, where God promises deliverance before the battle is fought. It reflects God's omnipotence and faithfulness to His covenant people. The phrase "into your hand" signifies complete control and victory, similar to God's promises to Joshua in <a href="/joshua/6-2.htm">Joshua 6:2</a>. This prefigures the ultimate victory found in Jesus Christ, who delivers believers from sin and death.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/g/gideon.htm">Gideon</a></b><br>A judge of Israel chosen by God to deliver the Israelites from the oppression of the Midianites.
