Judges 3, part 3: Ehud in the church age?

What is the relationship between the story of Ehud and Eglon…and the story of the church? What enduring principles does this story exemplify, and how do they inform the way Christians should live today? Should we expect God to still raise up men like Ehud — men of daring and deceit? What would they look like, and how would they act? To answer this question, we must understand how the symbols of Israel’s history are visible words which have a “future tense” — which must now be translated into the “perfect” tense of the church age.
