Gideon Defeats Midianites from The Story of the Bible… by Charles Foster, 1884; Illustrators: F.B. Schell, et al
Then Zevach and Tzalmuna said, ‘You, do it. You, kill us. Let a grown man do what takes a grown man’s strength.’ So Gid‘on got up and killed Zevach and Tzalmuna; then he took the ornamental crescents from around their camels’ necks. ~ Judges 8:21, CJB
The Old Testament’s events that are recorded in the Book of Judges, specifically in chapters 6 through 8, clearly are divinely designed to be a forewarning about the end-times conflict that Israel will have with her Arab enemies, as well as a forewarning about the One who will be Israel’s end-times Deliverer/Savior. In fact, Psalm 83 is a second biblical source in which can be found proof that Gideon’s Midianite onslaught is a type of end-times Arab invasion, and proof that Gideon is a type of Christ.
Numerous biblical prophecy scholars agree that the Arab attack mentioned in Psalm 83 is a final war that will take place during the end-times Tribulation Period. So then, when the psalmist states in Psalm 83:4 that the purpose of this final Arab invasion is so that these enemies of God and Israel can wipe Israel off of all maps so that Israel’s name will be forgotten, it stands to reason that the psalmist then would utter the following curse:
Do to them as you did to Midyan, to Sisra and Yavin at Vadi Kishon — they were destroyed at ‘Ein-Dor and became manure for the ground. Make their leaders like ‘Orev and Ze’ev, all their princes like Zevach and Tzalmuna, who said, ‘Let’s take possession of God’s meadows for ourselves.’ ~ Psalm 83:10-13, CJB
Now, since Gideon is the one who destroyed the Arab enemies mentioned in the above Psalm 83:10-13 curse, then it should be clear that Gideon’s Arab onslaught also is a foreshadowing of the same events that will take place during the Tribulation Period, as well as a prediction about this biblical Truth: Gideon is a type of Christ Jesus. For sure, what Gideon did to his Arab enemies, especially Zevach and Tzalmuna (or Zebah and Zalmunna), Christ Jesus will do to His Arab enemies! Gideon not only killed these Midianite leaders but also removed the crescent (moon-shaped) chains that were around the necks of these Arab leaders’ camels. Similarly, the Lord Christ Jesus not only will destroy every Arab who, in the end-times, comes against Israel and her people, but also He will remove from this Earth every crescent moon with a star symbol that now is visible throughout the Arab world—indeed, this symbol is visible throughout the entire Muslim or Islamic world.
There are so many other hints in Judges’ chapters 6 through 8 that Gideon’s Israel is also a picture of end-times Israel. This truth is made evident beginning with the opening verses. The Word of God says:
But the people of Isra’el did what was evil from Adonai’s perspective, so Adonai handed them over to Midyan for seven years. Midyan exercised its power harshly against Isra’el, and because of Midyan the people of Isra’el hid themselves in mountains, in caves and in other safe places. ~ Judges 6:1-2, CJB
The 7 years in the above verse represent the duration of Israel’s punishment at the hands of the Midianites. Prophetically, these 7 years also signify the length of Daniel’s 70th Week (cf. Daniel 9:25-27). Daniel’s 70th Week is the time when God will pour out His wrath on this Earth during the Tribulation Period, flooding this world with His intense global judgment mostly during the last 3½ years, which is the time of Jacob’s Trouble. Jacob’s Trouble is the time when God especially punishes Israel, the land and the Jewish people, for the Jewish people’s rejection of the Savior God sent to them, and for their deliberate disobedience and unbelievable unfaithfulness shown to God and His commandments.
Now the initial reason for why the Midianites, Amalekites, “…and others from the east…” (Judges 6:3) attack Israel in Gideon’s day and time seems to be so that they could ravage the land and steal the cattle, oxen, donkeys, and sheep, for the purpose of leaving the people of Israel absolutely NOTHING to live on (see Judges 6:4). Apparently the Ezekiel 38 invaders have the same motive, because the prophet Ezekiel questions if the raiding end-times Arabs have “…come to seize spoil…to loot; to carry off silver, gold, livestock and other wealth; to take much plunder” (Ezekiel 38:13, CJB).
In contrast, the Psalm 83 writer emphasizes that couched in the Midianite Arabs’ religious zeal language is the real reason for why the Midianite Arabs attacked Israel in Gideon’s day, and therefore the reason why the Arab 10-nation alliance will attack Israel in the end-times. The psalmist writes that the Midianites’ leaders like Oreb, Zeeb, Zebah, and Zalmunna eventually declared that they really wanted to “…take possession of God’s meadows for [them]selves” ~ Psalm 83:12-13, CJB (bracketed word is this blogger’s emphasis).
So for six years, while the marauding Arabs are depleting Israel’s livestock and diminishing the land’s grain, Gideon’s Israelites are hiding in caves. After crying out to the Lord for relief, in the seventh year God finally provides a deliverer/savior: Gideon. Similarly, at a time when it takes “…[t]wo pounds of wheat for a day’s wages! Six pounds of barley for the same price” (Revelation 6:6, CJB), the Tribulation’s inhabitants, Jewish people included, also will be hiding in the caves, because they will be terrified by the Tribulation’s cosmic distresses. Sadly, even then, they still will believe God to be a vengeful being. This is the reason why they will be crying out to the rocks and mountains to hide them from the imminent “wrath of God” instead of crying out to God. John the Revelator agrees, because he writes:
Then the earth’s kings, the rulers, the generals, the rich and the mighty — indeed, everyone, slave and free — hid himself in caves and among the rocks in the mountains, and said to the mountains and rocks, ‘Fall on us, and hide us from the face of the One sitting on the throne and from the fury of the Lamb! For the Great Day of their fury has come, and who can stand?’ ~ Revelation 6:15-17, CJB
Even though these petrified people are hiding in caves and crying out to the rocks and mountains to save them from the “wrath of God,” Father God still will send them a Deliverer/Savior, who will be Jesus Christ. However, the Lord will not appear until the end of the 7-year Tribulation Period.
Next, what needs to be considered is the size of Gideon’s army and the peace this mighty man of God achieves with his soldiers’ help. After reducing his army to 300 warriors, the Israelites’ deliverer/savior, Gideon, defeats the Midianites, in the same Plain of Esdraelon and Valley of Jezreel where the Battle of Armageddon will be fought. Peace is restored in Israel, but this peace only lasts for the rest of Gideon’s life, which is about forty years. After Gideon dies, the Israelites once again turn away from God to worshipping idols, and once again peace is broken. This time the Israelites’ peace is broken by three years of betrayal and mayhem caused by Gideon’s son Abimelech, the traitor Israelite who has himself proclaimed king.
In comparison, the Lord initially chooses only 12 Jewish men to follow Him, and by the start of the Tribulation Period only 144,000 of the possible left-behind masses will be His spiritual warriors on this Earth. At the end of the Tribulation Period, when the Lord, Christ Jesus returns to Earth and solely defeats all of His Arab enemies who have come against Israel and her Jewish people, there will be 1,000 years of peace. At the end of the Lord’s 1,000-year reign, there is one last attempt to wage war against Christ Jesus. Satan, the ultimate traitor, is released from out of the Bottomless Pit so that he can deceive many of the millennial kingdom’s individuals to join his global military. However, before any fighting begins, Father God rains down fire from Heaven, and Satan’s soldiers are consumed (cf. Revelation 20:7-10).
It is important to note here that in Gideon’s day the Midianites (Arabs) were wealthy people. This truth is revealed in the list of plunder taken by Moses when he fought the Midianites some two centuries before Gideon’s war (cf. Numbers 31), and revealed in the list of plunder taken in Gideon’s war against the Midianites, Amalekites, “…and others from the east…” (Judges 6:3; Judges 8). Together, the goods Moses and Gideon took forcibly were gold, silver, brass (bronze), iron, tin, lead, tablets; purple garments; jewels of gold, like chains, bracelets, rings, earrings, pendants, neck bands, crescent (moon-shaped) chains that were about the camels’ necks; sheep, cattle, and donkeys, and so forth (cf. Numbers 31:11-12, 22, 32-34; Judges 8:24-27).
More important than the kinds of spoils Gideon took forcibly is the fact that the English word “ornaments,” as mentioned in the King James Version of Judges 8:21, is translated from the Hebrew word saharon, which means crescent moon. Thus, the crescent (moon-shaped) chains Gideon removes from around the camels’ necks are comparable to the latter-day crescent and star symbols of today’s Arabs, Muslims, and their Islamic religion. This truth is the reason why this crescent moon and star symbol is seen almost everywhere there are Arabs and Muslims. Therefore, as already mentioned, Gideon’s removal of the crescent (moon-shaped) chains clearly foreshadows Christ Jesus’ removal of every crescent moon with a star symbol that now is visible throughout the Arab, Muslim and Islamic world, because this Islamic symbol conveys the idea that Allah, a moon god, and Lucifer, the devil, are one in the same!
The above last statement is true, because both the Midianites’ crescent (moon-shaped) chains around their camels’ necks and the 21st century’s Islamic crescent moon with a star symbol on armored combat vehicles, minarets, turrets, and flags no doubt represent the idolatry copied from ancient Mesopotamian civilizations, of which their people not only worshipped a pantheon of pagan gods but also one common god—the moon-god Sin. What is important to note here is that as ancient Mesopotamian astral religion grew, the worship of stars also increased, especially since every god was given its own star. More important, after the astral triad, which consisted of the supreme gods Sin (The Moon), Ishtar (Venus), and Shamash (The Sun) developed, worship of the moon, the stars, and the sun eventually spread across the entire ancient world.
Consequently, nation states like Assyria, Babylon, Persia, Phoenicia, Canaan, Egypt, and Saudi Arabia all assimilated some of the same Mesopotamian idolatrous worship features. More important it was Ur, the city from which Abraham came, that was the center for worship of the earlier mentioned moon-god Sin, who was reverenced in the form of a golden calf with crescent-moon shaped horns, and a long flowing lapis lazuli beard.
Thus, once the worship of the moon-god Sin spread across the entire ancient world, in every one of the aforementioned Middle Eastern nation states the moon-god Sin usually was represented by the crescent moon. This truth is why, when Israel fell into idolatry, it typically was because the Israelites or Hebrews or Jewish people were worshipping a feature of the moon-god Sin, like, for example, the golden calf venerated near Mount Sinai.
Even though the moon-god Sin has been around since Pre-Islamic Arabia; indeed, since the earliest post-flood world, it is conceivable that the Divine Truth in apostle Paul’s statement “…what one earns from sin is death…” (Romans 6:23, CJB) will be demonstrated best by those individuals who will be worshipping the moon-god Sin during the Tribulation Period. The fact that this idolatrous worship of the moon-god Sin still permeates the Middle East, and the truth that this last fact is verified today by countless Islamic images of the crescent moon and star, undoubtedly point to the future masses of people who will continue to reject Christ Jesus as their Lord and Savior all the way up until the second He returns!
Perhaps since the symbol of the crescent moon has been used by the Arab religions as far back as the time of Abraham, this 21st century Arab, Muslim, and Islamic religion’s universal image, which is a remnant of ancient moon-god Sin worship, will be the main reason why, when Christ Jesus returns to destroy the enemies of God and Israel, those individuals who worship this image will be found guilty of committing the unpardonable sin for which their crime is punishable by death. That’s why it should be clear that the Tribulation’s Jewish people who survive up to the moment of the end-times Arab/Muslim/Islamic holocaust (Armageddon) but still refuse to learn the lesson of total commitment to their Messiah will be destroyed at pretty much the same time as the extant remnant of their Arab/Muslim/Islamic enemies. This Divine Truth is what Gideon’s life and his Midianite (Arab) victory teaches, because Gideon is indeed a type of Christ Jesus and Gideon’s divinely orchestrated triumph is a type of Battle of Armageddon.
In a nutshell, like Gideon, Christ Jesus also led a humble, hidden life during His early years. Also like Gideon, the Lord overcame his numerous enemies with a few soldiers. Gideon defeated his Midianite Arabs and other enemies with just 300 warriors, and Christ Jesus defeated the first century’s secular world with just 12 disciples turned apostles.
Finally, just like Gideon won his war against the Midianites, Amalekites, “…and others from the east…” (Judges 6:3) with broken pitchers (clay jars), trumpets, and torches, Christ Jesus’ disciples turned apostles’ only weapons were their individual body (clay jar, pitcher) broken so that the life and Light of Christ Jesus could shine through; their preaching (trumpet) of the Gospel; and the Holy Spirit (torch) within in them who caused them to produce good works, and who caused others to see the life and Light of Christ Jesus in them.
These are today’s disciples turned apostles, prophets, evangelists, and shepherds-teachers’ weapons, too. So let a word to the wise be sufficient!

very great work sir. walid shoebat is following your teaching. pls check on him. he has added more details to it.
Thank you sagar. I have read many works by Walid Shoebat!
wow it was great to hear from you 🙂 . I’m so happy. Could you please clarify more on this topic: I shall bring strangers against you…. And one in Micah 5.. we have set seven shepherds.. or even eight. What could that possible mean ??
Sagar,
Thank you for your interest in my blog posting, and thank you for your comments.
Briefly, Mr. Shoebat believes Micah 5:5’s seven shepherds and eight princes of men refer to seven end-times nations and their seven military/political leaders (7 princes of the Messiah), with the 8th prince (military/political leader) being the Messiah. These are the nations and the leaders that God Himself will raise up in the last days to fight against the end-time Assyrian or Antichrist, and his forces.
These seven nations (Israel’s end-times allies) will surround the Antichrist and his confederation of nations that have invaded Israel. Micah’s seven nations will fight the Assyrian or Antichrist and his forces, until the second bodily return of Christ Jesus, the Jewish Messiah. When the Messiah appears, He will deliver Israel from Her end-times invaders, and He will defeat the Antichrist.
Many blessings . . . .
Thank you pastor for the teaching. Could you please explain one more thing? It has been a doubt to me and to many more people i guess. It is because i was reading Bible from several years, and still have this doubt.
Will antichrist be ruling the whole world, or just the islamic worlds? now we see the rise of islam in all western countries. are they going to conquer all western countries so that anti christ will rule over the whole world, or that the west will overcome islam, and anti christ will rule only the islamic nations surrounding israel??
Sharia Law will rule in the Middle Eastern Islamic nations, and in the lives of those individuals who follow Islam in the countries in which Sharia Law does not rule these entire nations, which means only some people in many nations other than the Middle Eastern Islamic nations will be followers of Islam. Furthermore, end-times prophecy focuses on Israel and her Middle Eastern enemies. This biblical truth is why, like the Egyptian, Babylonian, Persian, Grecian, Roman, and Islamic/Turkish empires or kingdoms (Israel’s enemies) were not empires or kingdoms that ruled over the entire world just only over all the nations that were within the extent of their kingdoms, the Antichrist’s kingdom, the revived Islamic/Turkish empire or kingdom, also only will rule over all the nations within the extent of the Antichrist’s empire or kingdom, which primarily consists of those nations within the boundaries of the old Babylonian, Medo-Persian, and Grecian Empires. These nations were, and still are, Middle Eastern countries.
For the record, it is my understanding that when the prophet Daniel mentions that the fourth beast will devour the “whole world” (Daniel 7:23-24) that this prophetic writer is using a synecdoche, a figure of speech in which a part is used to represent the whole or the whole is used to represent a part. In other words, the prophet Daniel is NOT speaking in a LITERAL sense. Bible readers will know Daniel doesn’t mean the entire world, because the Bible says that, during the latter 3 and ½ years, the time of the Tribulation when the Antichrist is wreaking havoc, that the Antichrist is met with fierce opposition from rival nations (e.g., Daniel 11:44-45 speaks of nations to the north and east of where the Antichrist is located making war against him). Even Edom, Ammon, and Moab (today’s Jordan) escape the Antichrist’s control (Daniel 11:41), so then if the Antichrist cannot control all of the nations near him in the Middle East, how is he going to control the literal entire world (e.g., USA, Canada, South America, Australia, UK, etc.) in 3 and ½ years?
thank you very much.
that was very relieving.
but for many years i held the belief that he will rule the entire world. 99% of other christians i met, expressed the same belief that he will rule the entire world.
if he is not ruling the entire world, what effect does he have on other countries like india ? do we simply escape his persecution ??
Sagar,
The Tribulation Period will be Hell on Earth, a Hell unlike the world has ever known before. That’s why even though the Antichrist and False Prophet mainly are persecuting God’s chosen people (all of the Tribulation’s Jews–those unsaved and saved), and any Gentiles who become sold out for Christ Jesus during the Tribulation Period, other left behinders will suffer persecution, too. No doubt many devout followers of Islam living in non-Islamic/non-Sharia Law nations (i.e., UK, USA, India, South America, etc.) also will be persecuting the Jews and Christians in their countries, just like Muslims will be persecuting those infidels who are living in the Middle Eastern Islamic nations that surround Israel, those infidels living in many Islamic African countries, those infidels living in Islamic Pakistan, Afghanistan, and other “…stans,” those infidels living in Islamic Indonesia, Malaysia, and other Southeastern Asian countries, and etc.. In fact, even though the Antichrist’s kingdom will not be global (that is, he won’t conquer the entire world), his control in the Middle East will be far reaching.
The widespread effects of his attempts to establish his one-world government (Caliphate/Sharia Law), one-world economy (oil), and one-world religion (Islam) will reach pandemic levels, and this is when God begins using the Antichrist’s global aspirations to usher in the beginning of His wrath/judgments that are to be poured out on the entire world. In other words, even though the Antichrist doesn’t succeed in controlling the whole world, people in all nations will feel the effects of the broken peace treaty in the Middle East, which the Antichrist causes. Furthermore, this broken peace treaty leads to wars, lawlessness and anarchy, economic depression, famine, diseases, and deaths, as symbolized by the Book of Revelations’ four horsemen of the Apocalypse (the opening of the first four seal judgments).
Bottom line, people in India, UK, USA, China, Canada, indeed the whole world, might not be directly persecuted by the Antichrist, but the Antichrist’s wrath, which is poured out on the Tribulation’s Jews and Christians residing in the Middle Eastern countries that are part of the Antichrist’s kingdom, not only will trigger the persecution of Jews and Christians all over the world but also will be the beginning of God’s wrath that will affect the entire world. Therefore, anyone who is left behind, anyone who has not been raptured either in the pre-Tribulation (the Bride of Christ/Body of Christ/CHURCH) or before and after mid-Tribulation begins (2 Jewish witnesses, 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists, martyred beheaded saints), as the result of God’s poured out wrath, will suffer plenty of pain, hunger, thirst, sickness, disease, pestilence, natural disasters, and so forth!
Many blessings . . . .
That brings me to another important confusion… will the devout christians see anti christ?
– the story of Lot escaping the judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah indicates that the church escapes
-noah suggests that church escapes
– shadrach, mesech and abednego suggest that the church goes thru persecution..
Sagar,
I addressed your concern about genuinely devout Christians or the true Body of Christ, also known as the Bride of Christ and the CHURCH, in my last comment:
“Therefore, anyone who is left behind, anyone who has not been raptured either in the pre-Tribulation (the Bride of Christ/Body of Christ/CHURCH) or before and after mid-Tribulation begins (2 Jewish witnesses, 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelists, martyred beheaded saints), as the result of God’s poured out wrath, will suffer plenty of pain, hunger, thirst, sickness, disease, pestilence, natural disasters, and so forth!.”
Only the Bride of Christ escapes (is raptured before) the Tribulation Period. Those who become genuinely devout Christians during the Tribulation might be beheaded for their beliefs. Martyred saints immediately are resurrected and taken to Heaven; the 144,000 sealed Jewish evangelist will never be harmed while they are in the Tribulation, and they also will be raptured, but near Mid-Tribulation point. Those who become genuinely devout Christians during the Tribulation and survive the entire Tribulation Period are the prophesied figurative “sheep and wheat” that are mentioned in the Word of God who populated the Earth during the Lord’s 1,000 year reign.
Many blessings . . . .
could you please make it more clear for me..
Those who become genuinely devout Christians during the Tribulation and survive the entire Tribulation Period are the prophesied figurative “sheep and wheat” that the are mentioned in the Word of God who populated the Earth during the Lord’s 1,000 year reign.
After the Lord returns to the Earth and defeats the Antichrist and False Prophet, there will be two End of the Age Great Harvests: 1. A harvest of the Lord’s believers who survive the Tribulation, who are separated from the unsaved Tribulation survivors; 2. A harvest of those people who received the Mark of the Beast, whom the Lord slays—crushes like grapes in a winepress (see Revelation 19:21 and Revelation 14:17-20).
Now, there are many Christians who disagree with the following interpretation, but everything the Holy Spirit has taught me proves that the wheat and tares and the sheep and goats parables are about the Lord’s judgment of the living nations of people at the time of Jesus Christ’s second bodily return (read the Parable of the Wheat and Tares in Matthew 13:24-30; 36-43, and the Parable of the Sheep and Goats in Matthew 25:31-46). In both of these parables, the Lord is prophesying about what will happen to the surviving Tribulation believers, those who become devout, sold out for Christ believers during the Tribulation (His wheat and sheep), and what will happen to those surviving Tribulation individuals whom the Lord NEVER knew (the tares and goats). His sold out surviving Tribulation believers are in the Lord’s End of the Age Great Harvest of saved souls who do not have glorified bodies. The apostle John describes this harvest in Revelation 14:14-16:
14 Then I looked, and there before me was a white cloud. Sitting on the cloud was someone like a Son of Man with a gold crown on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. 15 Another angel came out of the Temple and shouted to the one sitting on the cloud, “Start using your sickle to reap, because the time to reap has come — the earth’s harvest is ripe!” 16 The one sitting on the cloud swung his sickle over the earth, and the earth was harvested. ~ CJB.
The wheat and sheep (devout believers) enter the Lord’s 1,000-year Kingdom. The Tribulation Period was their threshing floor, or winepress, or being led to slaughter experience, so to speak. Having made it through the Tribulation is why they become the saved Tribulation survivors over whom the Lord’s saints in glorified bodies (the raptured alive Bride of Christ/CHURCH and 144,000 Jewish Tribulation evangelists, and all the resurrected dead in Christ believers and Tribulation martyrs) rule over for 1,000 years with the Lord in His Kingdom on Earth. These wheat and sheep Tribulation survivors are the people who repopulate the Earth during the Lord’s millennium. Apostle John explains:
4 Then I saw thrones, and those seated on them received authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for testifying about Yeshua and proclaiming the Word of God, also those who had not worshipped the beast or its image and had not received the mark on their foreheads and on their hands. They came to life and ruled with the Messiah for a thousand years. 5 (The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were over.) This is the first resurrection. 6 Blessed and holy is anyone who has a part in the first resurrection; over him the second death has no power. On the contrary, they will be cohanim of God and of the Messiah, and they will rule with him for the thousand years. ~ Revelation 20:4-6, CJB
On the other hand, the tares and goats are those unsaved Tribulation survivors who, because they did not accept the Lord as their Savior, will receive the same judgment as the Antichrist and the False Prophet. According to apostle John, “…The beast and the false prophet were both thrown alive into the lake of fire that burns with sulfur” (Revelation 19:20b). The Lord explains their judgment this way:
…the harvest is the end of the age, and the harvesters are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are collected and burned up in the fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send forth his angels, and they will collect out of his Kingdom all the things that cause people to sin and all the people who are far from Torah; 42 and they will throw them into the fiery furnace, where people will wail and grind their teeth. ~ Matthew 13:39b-42, CJB
And
41 “Then he will also speak to those on his left, saying, ‘Get away from me, you who are cursed! Go off into the fire prepared for the Adversary and his angels! 42 For I was hungry and you gave me no food, thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 a stranger and you did not welcome me, needing clothes and you did not give them to me, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ 44 Then they too will reply, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry, thirsty, a stranger, needing clothes, sick or in prison, and not take care of you?’ 45 And he will answer them, ‘Yes! I tell you that whenever you refused to do it for the least important of these people, you refused to do it for me!’ 46 They will go off to eternal punishment….” ~ Matthew 25:41-46, CJB
Many blessings . . . .
Thank you for the enlightening commentary. I listen to Jacob Prasch a lot and he’s a Midrashic teacher and this definitely follows the pattern of Midrash.
Trevor,
You are very welcome. May God be praised and given all the Glory! Shalom . . . . .
Every blessing,
