Episode 904: Awake, Awake - Worship and Warfare (Judges 5:12–23)

Peter Leithart and James Bejon, joined by Brian Moats, continue their discussion of Judges 5, exploring Deborah’s summons to battle and the tribes’ differing responses. They examine the song’s distinctive repetitions, Barak’s taking captivity captive, and the courage of Zebulun and Naphtali, drawing connections with Psalm 68, Ephesians 4, and Revelation. Along the way, they consider echoes of Jacob’s tribal blessings and the exodus, showing how the stars and waters join Yahweh’s fight against Sisera. The episode closes by considering Israel’s calling as Yahweh’s warrior bride and the church’s participation in His warfare through sung worship.
