Game 6C: The Levite and His Concubine. Mass Rape
First Extension of the Cycle of Creation.
Game 6C: The Levite and His Concubine (Mass Rape)
With these and many other stories, Bierny tried to instill: interpersonal values, respect for the conjugal bed and fidelity for life. And of course he achieved his goal. Many of them were seen to blush, others called their parents, others their brothers and sisters ... Each and every one of those attending the Pre-Marriage Talks. They ended up making pacts of love, fidelity and family care.
On the other hand, the fight is not against another human, although the darkness that in the beginning covered the face of the abyss; then they covered a woman, then her husband, then her home, then a whole community, then all of humanity; and therefore the flood came.
But we do not have a fight against blood and flesh (it is not against our neighbor: it is not against our wife, child, parents, brothers, family); but: (Ephesians 6:12)
- against principalities,
- against powers,
- against the rulers of darkness of this age,
- against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly regions.
As is this struggle, mixed no longer with divine or Creator aspects, but rather between the created, call it: angels and men; the main objective being the destruction of a home and if the fallen angel destroys a home he destroys a community. Let's see: (Judges Chapters 19, 20 and 21)
"Tell how was this evil?" The Leaders asked.
Then the Levite man, the dead woman's husband, said:
"I came to Gabaa with my concubine, to spend the night there." And those of Gibeah got up, surrounded the house at night, with the idea of killing me, and they humiliated my concubine in such a way that she died. There was a silence, and he added:
—Then taking my concubine, I cut her into pieces, and sent her throughout the territory (to all the tribes), because they have done evil and crime.
Let's expand the information:
(Let's look at the pattern of delinquent behavior in the entire community: Is it always a sexual problem?)
"They were a time when they were joyful" (drunk?), Behold, the men of that city, wicked men, surrounded the house, knocking on the door; And they spoke to the old man, the owner of the house, saying:
"Bring out the man who has entered your house, so we can meet him!"
The owner of the house came out to them and said:
"No, my brothers, I beg you not to do this wrong; since this man has entered my house, do not do this evil. Begging, he decided the following:
"Here is my virgin daughter, and his concubine; I will take them out now; humiliate them and do with them as you see fit, and do not do such an infamous thing to this man.
But those men would not listen to him; therefore, that man taking her concubine, he took her out; and they entered her, and abused her all night until morning, and left her at dawn.
And when it was dawn, the woman came, and she fell in front of the door of that man's house where her master was, until it was daylight. (Did she wake up dead?)
Then the man picked her up, and laying her on her ass, he got up and went to her place. And coming to her house, he took a knife, and took hold of her concubine, and broke her by her bones into twelve parts, and sent her to the twelve tribes ...
And everyone who saw that said:
"Consider this, take advice, and speak up."
The Tribes agreed:
—We will take ten men out of every hundred for all the tribes, and one hundred out of every thousand, and one thousand out of every ten thousand, to bring food for the people, so that when they go to Gibeah they will do according to all the abomination that he has committed. .
And all the men of Israel were gathered against the city, bound together as one man. And the tribes sent to ask:
"What evil is this that has been done between you?"
"So now hand over those wicked men who are in Gibea, so that we may kill them, and take away the evil."
But the Benjaminites did not want to hear the voice of his brothers, but the Benjaminites gathered from the cities in Gibeah to go out to fight against everyone.
And there were twenty-six thousand men who drew the sword, excluding those who dwelt in Gibeah, who were by number seven hundred chosen men.
(Did 700 men from that community do evil? Was this a biblical case of mass rape? And in defense 26,000 men from an entire region rose up? Did they regionally approve of his heinous sexual aberration?)
But this whole event of national magnitude: how did it start? What was the trigger? Let's recap the facts in the family or couple environment: (Judges 19-1-3)
In those days, when there was no king (and was there no law?), There was a Levite who dwelt as a stranger in the remotest part of Mount Ephraim, who had taken for himself a concubine wife from Bethlehem of Judah.
AND HIS CONCUBINE WAS UNFAITHFUL TO HIM, and she went from him to the house of his father, to Bethlehem of Judah, and was there for four months.
And her husband got up and followed her, to speak lovingly to her and make her come back ...
Infide
marital life, was the spark that lit such an infernal fire. Let's detail at the level: human (bad) and angelic (evil)
1. Levitical woman committed adultery against her husband. (a demonic possession: adultery)
2. The 700 men of Gibeah abused her. (700 Demon Possessions - Sexual Perversion)
3. The 26,000 men of the tribe of Benjamin who rose to war in defense of the Gibeans (26,000 demonic possessions: assassins)
This great event of social claim had the direction of the Creator of the seven games. Including this, let's see:
They got up and went up to the house of God and consulted God, saying:
"Who will rise from us first in the war against the children of Benjamin?"
And Jehovah answered:
"Judah will be the first."
When the sons of Benjamin left Gibeah, they struck down on the ground that day twenty-two thousand men (of the 12 tribes). Did the good ones lose the bad before !? Why!? Let's finish the story:
But the people reviving themselves, they again ordered the battle in the same place where they had ordered it the first day. (Because 'first' they went up and wept before Jehovah until evening), and consulted Jehovah, saying:
"Will we return to fight with the sons of Benjamin our brothers?"
And Jehovah answered them:
Go up against them.
And that second day, when Benjamin came out of Gibeah against them, they brought down another eighteen thousand men to the ground (What is happening? Who is being executed?)
Then they all went up, and all the people, and came to the house of God; and they wept, and sat there in the presence of Jehovah, and fasted that day until evening; and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the Lord.
And they asked the Lord (for the ark of the covenant of God was there in those days, and Phinehas was ministering before it in those days), and they said:
"Will we still go out against the children of Benjamin our brothers, to fight, or will we give up?"
And Jehovah said:
"Come up, because tomorrow I will deliver them to you."
