“They fought from heaven; The stars in their courses fought against Sisera.”
Judges 5:20 KJV
Deborah composed this victory song and sang it with Barak, utilising brilliant imagery and forceful expression, as they rejoiced over the defeat of the kings of Canaan. Even the stars in the sky joined in the fight, moving across the sky, shining as they fought against Sisera. Metaphorically, the stars represent the mighty host of heaven’s angels. Deborah declared that the angelic realm wheeled into formation and joined Israel in their fight. With the power of God they quenched the violence of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, out of weakness were made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to flight the armies of the aliens. Such is the power of God made available to us through the finished work of the Cross by the Holy Spirit. When God is for us who can be against us? Hallelujah!
