Angel Dive Encouraged Encourages Gideon Midianites Promising Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image depicts the biblical story of Gideon, a humble Israelite farmer who was called upon by God to lead his people in battle against the oppressive Midianites (Judges 6-8, Bible, Old Testament). In this moment, an angel of the Lord appears to Gideon, encouraging him to take up arms and trust in divine intervention. The angel's outstretched hand and reassuring expression convey a sense of comfort and strength, while Gideon, clad in simple garments and holding a staff, appears uncertain yet determined. The event is believed to have taken place around 1200 BCE, during a time when the Israelites were under the yoke of foreign oppression. The Midianites, a nomadic people from the eastern desert, had been raiding Israelite territory for years, destroying crops and livestock and leaving the population in a state of despair. Gideon, who was initially hesitant to accept the call to leadership, requested several signs from God to confirm his divine mission. The angel complied, and Gideon went on to lead a small but victorious army against the Midianites, using unconventional tactics such as lighting torches in jars to confuse the enemy. This photograph print, from the extensive collection of Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of this inspiring story of faith, courage, and divine intervention. The image invites viewers to reflect on the power of belief and the strength that can be found in the face of adversity.
