I watch a lot of movies and one thing I have come to expect from sequels is that, your essentially going to get the same plot, just in a different situation. For example, when the star wars movie rogue one came out, surprise surprise, the first order had built, wait for it, another planet sized space gun. This paints a good picture of the repeated cycle in the book of Judges. We get the same plot, in a different situation. But what we see is how God is at work in unexpected ways to show grace to those whose faith is weak.
