Week 5 - Disaster at Beth-Shemesh; Revival & Victory

This lesson shows the Israelites dealing with the aftermath of the Ark's capture and return. For seven months, the Ark of God brought devastation to the Philistines. Desperate to rid themselves of the suffering, they devised a plan to return the Ark to Israel with an offering. The story of the Ark’s return is both a reminder of God’s holiness and the Israelites' failure to fully grasp the Ark's spiritual significance.
