I Know I'm Being Worrisome, but...

And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said, Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor; and if the dew be on the fleece only, and it be dry upon all the earth beside, then shall I know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said. And it was so: for he rose up early on the morrow, and thrust the fleece together, and wringed the dew out of the fleece, a bowl full of water. And Gideon said unto God, Let not thine anger be hot against me, and I will speak but this once: let me prove, I pray thee, but this once with the fleece; let it now be dry only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground let there be dew. And God did so that night: for it was dry upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all the ground.-Judges 6:36-40***Gideon the judge was an Israelite from the tribe of Manasseh, descended from Abraham (Abram the Hebrew) and Sarah (Sarai), Isaac and Rebekah, Jacob (Israel) and his 2nd wife Rachel, Joseph and Asenath, and Joseph and Asenath's firstborn son Manasseh, whom Jacob proclaimed to be his own son. One group of Amalekites were descendants of Amalek, the son born to Eliphaz and his concubine Timna. Eliphaz was born to Jacob's older fraternal twin brother Esau (Edom) and his wife Adah. The Midianites descended from Abraham and his 2nd wife Keturah. For a specific 7-year period, years after the Israelites began living upon the Promised Land, the Israelites were oppressed by the Midianites, Amalekites and other groups. The Israelites were suffering, according to the will of the Lord God, due to the idolatry of the Israelites. Samuel the priest and prophet was an Israelite from the tribe of Levi, descended from Jacob and his 1st wife Leah, and Jacob and Leah's 3rd born son Levi. Saul was an Israelite from the tribe of Jacob and Rachel's 2nd and last son Benjamin. Over 1,000 years after Samuel was the last judge serving and worshiping the Lord God, and Samuel anointed Saul to reign as the 1st king over the Israelites in the Promised Land, according to the will of the Lord God, Jesus the Christ, the Son of God, was born. Jesus was conceived of the Holy Spirit in the womb of Mary, a virgin, and Jesus was born into the tribe of Jacob and Leah's 4th born son Judah to Mary and her husband Joseph when Mary was a virgin.-Genesis 11:26-50:26, Exodus, Numbers 13:1-14:45, 20:1-29, 26:1-27:23, Deuteronomy 31:1-34:12, Joshua 1:1-4:24, 23:1-24:33, Judges, Ruth, 1 Samuel, 2 Samuel, 1 Kings, 2 Kings, 1 Chronicles, 2 Chronicles, Ezra 1:1-11, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts 1:1-26
