That's an interesting perspective......
Thanks for sharing that.
The Hebrew Bible often portrays women as victors, leaders, and heroines with qualities Israel should emulate. Women such as Hagar, Tamar, Miriam, Rahab, Deborah, Esther, and Yael/Jael, are among many female “saviors” of Israel.
What do we learn from Hagar?
Hagar: The Woman Who Named God | Genesis 16, 21 | Women of ...
Hagar shows us that even when we wander in wilderness places, even when life circumstances and systems of power push us down and toss us out, God is drawing near to us.
What is the lesson of the story of Tamar?
Tamar’s story with Judah is important in the way it shows how very human and flawed and yet chosen is the family through whom God would bring about redemption for the world. It shows that God works through messy human situations, including sexual relationships to bring about God’s will.
Miriam’s story demonstrates how God’s hand is in every event of our life, no matter how insignificant or difficult it may seem. It shows how we can have courage regardless of our circumstances, because God has a plan for our lives.
What is the legacy of Rahab in the Bible?
Rahab’s legacy is that God will save anyone. God does not restrict his grace to a certain nation. He is willing to accept even Canaanite prostitutes—when they have the faith and courage to seek him. Rahab’s legacy is that God will save anyone who believes.
The story of Deborah in the Bible shows us that the Lord calls ordinary people to do extraordinary things that can only be accomplished through the Spirit. This Bible study of Judges 4 and 5 explores what we can learn from Deborah about calling and the power of the Holy Spirit.
What is the reflection of the book of Esther?
The book of Esther is a classic expression of the biblical idea that God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. And God is still in the habit of elevating those who society has deemed unimportant. It might not always look as heroic as Esther’s story, but God can use anybody as an instrument for his purposes.
What is the lesson of the story of Jael?
This event in Jael’s life reveals a series of lessons, the first of which is that God will always fulfil His word. It may not be in line with our idea of perfect timing, however He “is not a man that He should lie;” His word does not return to Him void but accomplishes what He pleases (Isaiah 55:11)
