The Most Gruesome Chapter of the Bible

The Most Gruesome Chapter of the Bible
​

 In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did that which was right in his own eyes. ‭‭(Judges‬ ‭21:25‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

If you were to ask me which is the creepiest, scariest and most gruesome chapter in the Bible, I would have to say Judges 19. 

In it, the depths of moral degradation and depravity can be seen, even though in terms of the volume of bloodshed, it's nothing compared to the Book of Revelation.

If you thought the Bible doesn’t depict or describe sin, then be prepared to be challenged in your belief. 

The Bible doesn't portray violence and evil just to scare you or for shock factor like in horror movies. There is a purpose for it, and it's always God-centered.
In this case, we are given a frightful chapter to show what happens when man doesn't want God to be in charge.   

Today, we see the world descending into deep moral darkness, just like the times which we will examine in Judges 19. 

Sin is not only being tolerated, but even celebrated. If you don’t accept it, then the world will say that you’re being hateful, discriminatory, and intolerant. 

“Yahweh saw that the wickedness of man was great in the earth, and that every imagination of the thoughts of man’s heart was continually only evil.” ‭‭(Genesis‬ ‭6:5‬ ‭WEB‬‬)

When we live as though God isn’t King over all and try to be upright according to our own biased sense of morality (we tend to excuse the sins that we or our loved ones commit), the inevitable outcome is wickedness and evil.
