Q6. (Judges 7:13-14) What does the rolling barley loaf mean in the Midianite's dream? Why does the Lord show Gideon this dream?

Gideon will overthrow the Midianites.

To help him because he is so fearful of attacking the Midianites. To increase his faith.

[Jonathan Edwards]

Rolling barley loaf meant the sword of Gideon would have the victory over the enemy.  He worshipped the true God when he heard about this dream.   It was truly a confirmation of God's favor.  It was so real to Gideon that it gave him the get up and go to start delivering his people.
