Gideon's Plea for Divine Support: A Historical Moment from the Bible's Old Testament This evocative image captures the pivotal moment when the Old Testament judge Gideon receives a heavenly sign of God's support in his battle against the Midianites. In the photograph, an angel appears before Gideon, holding a sacrificial lamb. The scene is set against a backdrop of ancient ruins, adding to the historical and religious significance of the moment. According to the biblical account in the Book of Judges, Gideon was a humble man who was called by God to lead the Israelites in battle against the Midianites, who had been oppressing them for seven long years. Overwhelmed by the task and unsure of his abilities, Gideon asked God for a sign to confirm his calling and to assure him of heavenly support. In response, God instructed Gideon to prepare a sacrifice and place it on a rock. As Gideon completed the ritual, an angel appeared and touched the sacrifice with the tip of his staff, causing it to burst into flames. This miraculous event was a clear sign from God that He would be with Gideon in his upcoming battle against the Midianites. This photograph, taken from the extensive collection of historical images at Mary Evans Picture Library, beautifully captures the essence of this biblical story. The image of the angel and the sacrificial lamb, with the flames of divine fire illuminating the night sky, serves as a powerful reminder of the deep faith and trust that Gideon placed in God during a time of great uncertainty and challenge.
