...Here's a little background on the life of Sampson - before I delve into Judges 13: Samson Accomplishing God's Purpose the Hard Way Small Excerpt: Ask someone who was the strongest man in the Bible and you’ll likely hear “Samson.” After all, it’s not every day that one hears of a man who kills 1,000 men in hand-to-hand combat. Armed with only the jawbone of a donkey, Samson was one tough adversary (Judges 15:15). Set during the time of Israel’s judges some 3,000 years ago, Samson’s life was a highly unusual one—yet one that bears lessons for us today.... As we consider Samson’s life, it is important for us to understand from the outset that God is not calling men today to imitate Samson’s conduct. As a physical, carnal nation, ancient Israel waged war with other nations. New Testament Christians, however, look to future citizenship in God’s Kingdom, which is not of this world, and do not fight in physical warfare, being ministers of life, not death (see Matthew 5:38-39, 43-44; John 18:36; 2 Corinthians 3:6)... [ link to www.ucg.org (secure)] Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76070797 A little more background on Sampson: God gave Samson the unique job of weakening the Philistine nation during the time of Israel’s judges—a job He is not giving to people today. Furthermore, like everyone, Samson did some things right and he also made mistakes - Big ones!! Finally - Sampson God it!! Samson clearly understood God’s purpose for his life—to weaken the Philistine nation... Did he? Judges 13 Unsurprisingly enough: 1 And the children of Israel did evil again in the sight of the Lord; and the Lord delivered them into the hand of the Philistines forty years. In the story of Sampson - we see prophecy playing an important role in the life of Zorah and Manoah: Judges 13:2 And there was a certain man of Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren, and bare not. 3 And the angel of the Lord appeared unto the woman, and said unto her, Behold now, thou art barren, and bearest not: but thou shalt conceive, and bear a son.
