Judges 6:11-12
Judges 6:11-12
KJV 11 And there came an angel of the LORD, and sat under an oak which was in Ophrah, that pertained unto Joash the Abiezrite: and his son Gideon threshed wheat by the winepress, to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the angel of the LORD appeared unto him, and said unto him, The LORD is with thee, thou mighty man of valor.

Judges 6:11-12
11 Joash, the Abiezrite, had a farm in Ophrah. The angel from the Lord came and sat there, under a tree. Gideon was taking the seeds out of their hard skins. He was the son of Joash and was hiding from the Midianites. 12 The angel of the Lord said to Gideon, ‘The Lord is with you, powerful soldier’.

These are my thoughts, please share yours.
11 So its interesting Gideon that man God would use to defeat the Midianites was busy hiding from them. With God what cant happen can.
12 So the angel speaks to Gideon, this is a message from God, this was common prior to the written word, while I personally believe this can happen today, I don’t believe it was ever common then and shouldn’t be now. We today have the scriptures of what we should do. Gideon was hiding but the angel was telling him that he was a powerful solider this was because his power came from the Lord being with him.
