Judges 7:13-14 - Gideon arrived just as a man was telling a friend his dream. "I had a dream," he was saying. "A round loaf of barley bread came tumbling into the Midianite camp. It struck the tent with such force that the tent overturned and collapsed."
His friend responded, "This can be nothing other than the sword of Gideon son of Joash, the Israelite. God has given the Midianites and the whole camp into his hands."
I wonder what else Gideon had done to make his name known to the Midianites. Somehow word got around that he was the new leader and one to be feared.
I'm curious. Could you please tell me what brought you to this page by mentioning it in a comment? I won't publish the comment, if you ask me not to.
Our church is having vacation bible school on the subject of dreams in the bible. I have always been fascinated by this large barley loaf dream. We will reinact the story of Gideon and use this dream to reinforce ways God works in our lives leading us to victory. Charles Spurgeon did a sermon on this which is viewable on line. There are several interesting interpretations of this dream.
