Encouraging Words
The “him” that is referred to in this verse is Gideon. Gideon lived in a time when his people were being oppressed by the people of Midia. He was hiding in a wine press and attempting to thresh some wheat for his starving people. He finds out tha he has been selected by God to lead his people out of this oppression and into the glory once promised to them. The early church fathers viewed Gideon as a prefiguration, or image, of Jesus Christ, who came to deliver His people from the oppression of sin and into the heavenly kingdom. Lord, have mercy! Lord, have mercy! Lord have mercy!
