How does Gideon's victory relate to Christ's victory?

Answered in 1 source

Gideon's victory serves as a foreshadowing of Christ's ultimate victory over sin and death.

Gideon's conquest over the Midianites not only showcases God's sovereign deliverance but also serves as a typological foreshadowing of Christ’s victory. Just as Gideon overcame with a small and seemingly weak force, Jesus triumphed over sin and death through His humble sacrifice on the cross. The shouting of 'the sword of the Lord and of Gideon' emphasizes the divine victory granted to God’s people. This points to the greater reality of Christ being our Champion, who won the greatest battle for our souls, securing our salvation by His finished work.
