Lord because of the Midianites
on Judges 6:7-10
The prophet is unnamed, says nothing of a rescue, and is never mentioned again. His speech runs the same course as the angel's at 2:1-3: brought up out of Egypt, delivered from every oppressor, given the land, and then a charge that the voice was not obeyed. The charge is exact, fear not the gods of the Amorites, and verse 25 finds an altar of Baal standing in the house of the man God is about to call.
