A few things we need to know about yokes and how they can be shattered based on the example of "Miden's Defeat.
1. The blessed people of God can live under great oppression.
The goal of the oppressor is to make us...
*Unproductive (vv.3-4)Hebrew shahat: ruin...corrupt...lose...spill...waste." In the KJV terminology, the oppressors destroyed the increase."
*Impoverished (v.6)Hebrew dalal: "bring low, dry up, be emptied, not be equal, fail, be impoverished."
2. If we don't seek freedom, we will seek shelter (v.2 and glance ahead to v.11).
3. God stands to get much glory from making might warriors out of the least likely.
4. Whatever we may end up setting on the alter will be holy received by God.
5. The purpose of this journey is not to kill us but to bring us to the full measure of abundant life He promised us (v. 23).
