An Innocent Deviation Off Course

In Judges 17:1 - 18:31, there is recorded a story of a Israelite that compromises.  He influences a Levite and idolatry enters the home. This one man's sin expanded to the sin of an entire tribe: Dan. The Danites were forever known as the center of idolatry. In the list of the Twelve Tribes of Israel in Revelation 7 it is omitted.  The tribe of Levi appears in the place of the tribe of Dan.

What starts as an innocent deviation of course, finds it culmination in the destruction of a nation.

Sobering thought.
