Judges 4 Verse 6 - Barak Lightning Name

»»»»»»»» Judges 4 Verse 6 – To Barak, ‘Go! This is the day the LORD has given Sisera into your hands. Has not the LORD gone ahead of you?’



You gotta love when Bible verses show up in Google Trends. And today, people are all over searching for everything Judge 4, Verse 6 — because it has the name “Barak” not “Barack” in it.


I’d have to give Judges 4:6 a serious study to know what it’s really about. First I perused Judges Chapter 4 wherein it mentions “Barak” in my favorite BibleGateway.com.


Then I popped over to LifeWay’s online Bible, because they have the Strong’s concordance with the King James Version to give more details on what they meant in the original Hebrew or Greek language.


Thru LifeWay, I found the meaning of the name Barak:

English Words used in KJV:
Barak 13
[Total Count: 13]

Barak = “lightning” or “lightning flash”



1) son of Abinoam of Kedesh who, incited by Deborah, a prophetess of Ephraim, delivered the Israelites from the yoke of Jabin by routing the Canaanites in the plain of Jezreel



Very interesting.


The lightning flash really could describe Obama’s quick ascent to the presidency.


But that’s also how Satan fell from the sky. I’m not gonna liken the two, however. There’s enough about that around the net.


Was Barack Obama named after Judges 4:6? Or rather, his father? I would doubt that, but I don’t know…
