Good message. You are never at a disadvantage with our God..Thank You. I have a question in parallels that maybe you can help with. Sampson had 300 fox’s with tails of Fire a Lamp. Gideon had 300 men lapping like dogs with lamps. Gentiles are called dogs. See where I’m going? Any idea the connections?
In ancient times the observation was that gentiles followed their noses at whim much like a dog would search for its next meal. A dog by nature isn’t able to distinguish between what is and isn’t holy. Without God, they were thought to be aimlessly wandering. In the story of Gideon, those likened to dogs brought the water to themselves, letting the water serve them, unlike other cultures that worshipped waters (Nile/Egyptians). Referencing your question, gentiles were called dogs. I’m reminded of Jesus’ words in Matthew 15. A Canaanite woman is seeking a word with Jesus asking for help concerning her daughter. Jesus responds saying it isn’t good to throw the children’s bread to little dogs, and that he’s there for the lost sheep of Israel. Her response? “Even the dogs eat the crumbs from the table.” I see she had humility, and recognized that while Israel was in the midst of their time to potentially recognize their Messiah was among them, he wasn’t a blessing to the Jewish people, alone. In the story of Gideon, even those likened to dogs so to speak, had light of the lamp, and would use it to see. Even is dogs can be called for service and worship.
