Gideon's first call was a demolishion job, but we must remember that he also had to BUILD and alter to Yahweh.
Destruction then Construction
Here we see Joash viewing the alter with elements of guilt or shame. The realization that he had turned away from God. With his repentance speech we see Joash taking a step back in the right direction. Stepping closer to the Lord.
Gideon's mission didn't just tear down the lies of paganism, it restored the truth of God.
Joash declared . . . "No longer will my son be named Gideon... He is now Jerubbaal. He has wrestled with baal, now lets see if baal will come after him."
So Gideon as gone from a coward hiding in a wine press, to the famous "baal fighter"
