Ehud Barak is the Defense Minister of Israel. When I see his name my mind always goes to the Barak of the Bible who judged Israel with Deborah.
The second Judge of Israel was Ehud. So, this modern day Ehud Barak has the name of two judges. Today he is the Defense Minister of Israel and I wonder if he feels the pressure of living up to his name.
Never a more exciting story than that of Deborah, Barak and Jael. Read about them in Judges 4 and don't neglect the song of Deborah and Barak in chapter 5. It ends:
"So let all Thine enemies perish,O LORD: but let them that love Him (the LORD) be as the sun when he goeth forth in his might.
And the land had rest forty years" (Judges 5:31).
