May 10, 2012 – Judges 18

I don’t really understand how good things happen for this tribe when they are breaking the law by having an idol.  Maybe the point is that Micah is the one that suffers by losing because he first made the idol.  I do think it is interesting that this was done in Dan as long as God was at Shiloh.  God left Shiloh to go to Jerusalem, and we can assume from the way it is written that the use of this idol was stopped when that happened.  That is when there became a king, an authority, a common rule.  Do non-Catholic Christians feel there will be a time when authority will bring us all under one set of rules or do they think we already have that (which I cannot understand).
