Understanding Christianity

Jephthah was a self-centered brutal man who did not put the nation of Israel first. In essence, he represents the lowest point of the judges up to this point. His identity as the son of a prostitute mirrors the spiritual prostitution of Israel who whored after foreign gods. Here is the fundamental question: Where are the SPIRITUAL LEADERS IN ISRAEL? ¢ Where are the priests and why aren't they discipling and teaching the people? ¢ Where are the fathers and why aren't they discipling and teaching their children? Here's the bottom line: When men abdicate their roles as spiritual leaders both in the home and in the church, the people spiral into idolatry, sin, and disunity.
