Judgeship Part 3: Deborah - The Second Moses with Rev. Dr. Nika Spaulding

Throughout Scripture, key figures often echo those who came before them, creating a tapestry of themes and patterns that lead us toward Jesus. One of the most fascinating comparisons in the Old Testament is between Moses and Deborah. While Deborah is often recognized as a judge and prophet, her role is much deeper—she is a Second Moses, a deliverer raised up by God for her generation. Here are five key similarities they share:

1. Both Faced Oppressive Rulers
2. Both Served as Judges for Their People
3. Both Witnessed Cosmic Water Events that Defeated Their Enemies
4. Both Experienced Victory in Battles Fought in Valleys
5. Both Had Songs Sung About Their Victories

While Moses and Deborah were remarkable leaders, they ultimately point us to Jesus—the final deliverer, judge, and victorious King.
