Default The Story of Jephthah - 06-02-2007, 02:51 AM

I'd like to share the story of Jephthah, one of my personal favorite passages in the Holy KJV Bible. But first, let me summarize the story for you, as I recently did for the little Christian tykes in Sister Mary Maria's Sunday School class. Those 3-5 year olds were enraptured with my every word, I can tell you!



A long time ago the nation of Israel was fighting the evil terrorist nation of Ammon. One of their military leaders was named Jephthah and he loved God very much, just like your Daddy loves you. But the soldiers from Ammon were beating Israel and Jephthah was worried!

So Jephthah prayed to God. Jephthah told God:

"If you let me kill all of the Ammonites, I will burn alive whoever comes out of my house when I come home from victory from this fighting!"
(Judges:11:29-31)

God was very eager that He would get a burnt sacrifice from Jephthah so He agreed to help Israel. The Israelites and Ammonites fought, and the Israelis came out as the winners! Everyone was very happy and now it was time for Jephthah to go home.

When Jephthah walked up to his house, his daughter Adah came out dancing excitedly at the joyous return of her father. She was so happy! Jephthah then said:

"Oh hi! I told God I'd burn alive whoever walked out of the house!"
(Judges:11:34-35)


Adah told her Daddy:

"Oh that's alright......Daddy, can I go to the wilderness to cry a couple months with my friends? Then you can kill me!"
(Judges:11:36-37)


And then Jephthah told his daughter:

"Sure! Why not?!"

So Adah went with her friends into the wilderness and cried for a couple months.
(Judges:11:38)

Then, when Adah came back, her Daddy, Jephthah burned her alive! It was great fun! And it made God so happy!
(Judges:11:39)

And God loves you all too, kids. So always remember to do whatever your Daddy tells you to do, because God wants us to make Him happy, okay?




Quote:
Judges 11:29-40 Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah, and he passed over Gilead, and Manasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over [unto] the children of Ammon.

And Jephthah vowed a vow unto the LORD, and said, If thou shalt without fail deliver the children of Ammon into mine hands,

Then it shall be, that whatsoever cometh forth of the doors of my house to meet me, when I return in peace from the children of Ammon, shall surely be the LORD'S, and I will offer it up for a burnt offering.

So Jephthah passed over unto the children of Ammon to fight against them; and the LORD delivered them into his hands.

And he smote them from Aroer, even till thou come to Minnith, [even] twenty cities, and unto the plain of the vineyards, with a very great slaughter. Thus the children of Ammon were subdued before the children of Israel.

And Jephthah came to Mizpeh unto his house, and, behold, his daughter came out to meet him with timbrels and with dances: and she [was his] only child; beside her he had neither son nor daughter.

And it came to pass, when he saw her, that he rent his clothes, and said, Alas, my daughter! thou hast brought me very low, and thou art one of them that trouble me: for I have opened my mouth unto the LORD, and I cannot go back.

And she said unto him, My father, [if] thou hast opened thy mouth unto the LORD, do to me according to that which hath proceeded out of thy mouth; forasmuch as the LORD hath taken vengeance for thee of thine enemies, [even] of the children of Ammon.

And she said unto her father, Let this thing be done for me: let me alone two months, that I may go up and down upon the mountains, and bewail my virginity, I and my fellows.

And he said, Go. And he sent her away [for] two months: and she went with her companions, and bewailed her virginity upon the mountains.

And it came to pass at the end of two months, that she returned unto her father, who did with her [according] to his vow which he had vowed: and she knew no man. And it was a custom in Israel,

[That] the daughters of Israel went yearly to lament the daughter of Jephthah the Gileadite four days in a year.


Who Will Jesus Damn?

Here is a partial list from just a few scripture verses:

Hypocrites (Matthew 24:51), The Unforgiving (Mark 11:26), Homosexuals (Romans 1:26, 27), Fornicators (Romans 1:29), The Wicked (Romans 1:29), The Covetous (Romans 1:29), The Malicious (Romans 1:29), The Envious (Romans 1:29), Murderers (Romans 1:29), The Deceitful (Romans 1:29), Backbiters (Romans 1:30), Haters of God (Romans 1:30), The Despiteful (Romans 1:30), The Proud (Romans 1:30), Boasters (Romans 1:30), Inventors of evil (Romans 1:30), Disobedient to parents (Romans 1:30), Covenant breakers (Romans 1:31), The Unmerciful (Romans 1:31), The Implacable (Romans 1:31), The Unrighteous (1Corinthians 6:9), Idolaters (1Corinthians 6:9), Adulterers (1Corinthians 6:9), The Effeminate (1Corinthians 6:9), Thieves (1Corinthians 6:10), Drunkards (1Corinthians 6:10), Reviler (1Corinthians 6:10), Extortioners (1Corinthians 6:10), The Fearful (Revelation 21:8), The Unbelieving (Revelation 21:8), The Abominable (Revelation 21:8), Whoremongers (Revelation 21:8), Sorcerers (Revelation 21:8), All Liars (Revelation 21:8)

A most edifying story, Pastor. I always use that story to show the neophytes the importance of keeping a vow to God. If you promise to tithe to Landover (or to click the PayPal button), then you'd better do so.

If Jephthae had gone back on his word in the Old Testament, he wouldn't have received honorable mention in the New Testament, would he?

Hebrew 11:32 And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthae; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:
Hebrew 11:33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, wrought righteousness, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions,


Holbein

1st Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
1st Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1st Corinthians 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.

"Jephthah"

A Godlier-sounding Name I do not Believe I have heard in a month of Sundays.

I wonder how many people in the State of Tennessee might have Children called Jephthah?

I was just wondering how a heathen Ephraimite would pronounce old Jephtah's name:
Judges 12:5 And the Gileadites took the passages of Jordan before the Ephraimites: and it was so, that when those Ephraimites which were escaped said, Let me go over; that the men of Gilead said unto him, Art thou an Ephraimite? If he said, Nay;
6 Then said they unto him, Say now Shibboleth: and he said Sibboleth: for he could not frame to pronounce it right. Then they took him, and slew him at the passages of Jordan: and there fell at that time of the Ephraimites forty and two thousand.


O Lord our God, help us to tear their soldiers to bloody shreds with our shells; help us to cover their smiling fields with the pale forms of their patriot dead; help us to drown the thunder of the guns with the shrieks of their wounded, writhing in pain; help us to lay waste their humble homes with a hurricane of fire; help us to wring the hearts of their unoffending widows with unavailing grief; help us to turn them out roofless with little children to wander unfriended the wastes of their desolated land in rags and hunger and thirst, sports of the sun flames of summer and the icy winds of winter, broken in spirit, worn with travail, imploring Thee for the refuge of the grave and denied it--for our sakes who adore Thee, Lord, blast their hopes, blight their lives, protract their bitter pilgrimage, make heavy their steps, water their way with their tears, stain the white snow with the blood of their wounded feet! We ask it, in the spirit of love, of Him Who is the Source of Love, and Who is the ever-faithful refuge and friend of all that are sore beset and seek His aid with humble and contrite hearts. Amen.


God being truth, justice, goodness, beauty, power, and life, man is falsehood, iniquity, evil, ugliness, impotence, and death. God being master, man is the slave. Incapable of finding justice, truth, and eternal life by his own effort, he can attain them only through a divine revelation... he who desires to worship God must harbor no childish illusions about the matter, but bravely renounce his liberty and humanity.

A powerful story, Pastor Zeke. If only more of us could love the Lord as much as Jephthah did, imagine how much better our world would be!

I'm not sure that the Lord got all of the Ammonites (He did, of course, slay all of the Ammonite children), because they were still around to be slaughtered in 2 Samuel 12:31, 2 Chrinicles 20, Amos 1:13, 2 Kings 24:2, Jeremiah 27:3, Ezekiel 21:20, Ephaniah 2:8, and Ezra 9:1. If only Jephthah had promised to sacrifice his entire family, then perhaps God would have wiped out the entire vile race all at once.

I never did quite understand why Jephthah so badly wanted to kill a bunch of molluscs, but it certainly explains why they are extinct today.



Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name.... Jeremiah 10:25
