Why did God tell Gideon to reduce the size of his army?
It is the last time: and as ye have heard that antichrist shall come, even now are there many antichrists; whereby we know that it is the last time. 1 John 2:18
Why did God tell Gideon to reduce the size of his army?
Because God wanted credit for defeating the Midianites.
The LORD said unto Gideon, The people that are with thee are too many for me to give the Midianites into their hands,
lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying, Mine own hand hath saved me. Judges 7:2
