Jerubbaal's 300

They walked out of the bushes, down the mount of Gilead -The Heap of Testimony. They do not tremble before death, they escape no battles, they kneel not for man nor run away from beast, death is close, yet they don't step back. A fine breed of men that bend not for their needs yet answer the call of those who ask, ready to give it all. I have seen in their eyes, that fire kindled from the altar of Heaven. Their colors were like those of the lions of the wilderness, their skins bore thick and deep scars but though too many, are so few to the ones that pierced their hearts. Dead, though full of life, abandoned yet brought salvation. Though bitter, they were a sweet savor to the Lord and their people. The Amalekites and the Medianites were vast in numbers, like swarms of locust so was told., invincible enemy so was said. Something about their calmness was out of strength, something about their peace was because of their might, O men of God! Blessed be your names written in light in the eternal Book of Life. Splendor of Eagles and Courage of lions were within and upon them. Horned in power like wild bulls, yet so much wise as the face of man. Every step of the way, their minds held firm, holding pots and fire, horns of rams, following a man, who listens to the Voice that Speaks of Miracles and Wonders. A Voice like no other, misjudged by sanity and unfathomable to emotions, A Voice of One who is truly Faithful and Exceptionally Wise. Beyond Strength, more than Might, Wiser than wisdom and superior to logic.. He Is. God!

We lived as brothers and we die as friends, we follow the light of our hope till the end. My life is not much but our life is what we fight for. Something within me is so strong, something I know of yet I shall not reveal, behind the sacred curtains of my heart, in my inner most place. I walk the earth among the beasts of the land, I know who I am, where I am from and where I am going. O brothers, friends of my childhood we should go, Let your hearts be strengthened and your legs stand firm for tonight we shall see the promise of the Lord and we shall testify for His Faithfulness! Tonight is when our people declare the Holiness of the Lord, Tonight is when He brings Salvation to His people. Let not your lives be more precious than those who we defend! Let it be taken if it pleases the Lord, tonight! Shout for the Lord, Shout for Gideon! Let the battle start and worry not for when it ends. Come and fight you beasts of unholiness, come up and reveal your deceit. Let your numbers do the math for you and trick you to your doom, for flesh is no stronger than the Spirit of Fire that we carry within! Let nightmares disturb your sleep and fear consume your wake. Armies were given to the hand of defeat and warriors to the hand of death, But the soldiers of the Lord were delivered and their tents were saved. Tonight is when all comes to pass, Tonight!
