June 24, 2013 – 1 Maccabees 5:33 – 5:68

How many Gentile soldiers were there.  Every time Judas turns around he is up against another huge army and defeats them, but evidently huge armies were prevalent because when he turns around, there is another one.  He keeps mowing through them and yet there are still more to go.  We also see that it isn’t just being a Jew that equals victory, but you must be going about it for God.  The two that want to make a name for themselves are defeated.
