dream: To my surprise, a loaf of barley
bread tumbled into the camp of Midian;
it came to a tent and struck it so that it

said, “This is nothing else but the
sword of Gideon the son of Joash, a
man of Israel! Into his hand God has
delivered Midian and the whole
camp.”

Gideon and the Israelites.
They were despised.

• 35 And Jesus said to them, “I am the
bread of life. He who comes to Me
shall never hunger, and he who
believes in Me shall never thirst.
10. The Tent
• Represented the authority of the
Generals, the place where they do
their plans to go riding against the
Israelites.
• The plans were overturned, they
killed between themselves, and the
whole camp was devastated.
11. Judges 7:15 (NKJV)
• 15 And so it was, when Gideon heard
the telling of the dream and its
interpretation, that he worshiped. He
returned to the camp of Israel, and
said, “Arise, for the LORD has
delivered the camp of Midian into
your hand.”
12. Gideon’s reaction
• First thing Gideon does after hearing
the dream and its interpretation is to
worship God.
