THE ORIGIN STORY OF JESUS
Part 31: Valley of Decision |
|
|
The time period in the Book of Judges was a spiritual
rollercoaster in which Lucifer was clearly winning. Divine
intervention was needed and the Godhead chose a barren woman to give
birth to a prophet. The man chosen to train Samuel was a moral
failure. But God doesn’t care about circumstances and Samuel became
a judge of Israel who loved the Lord and was faithful to call the
people to repentance. Unfortunately, he neglected his son’s just
like Eli had done and the people of Israel demanded a king when
Samuel put them in charge. A monarchy was not better than a
theocracy but the Hebrews wouldn’t listen to reason. Their hearts
were set on being like other nations with a king that would make
demands, tax the people, raise an army, and need servants. This
referendum was not a rejection of Samuel, but of the government set
up by Jesus, and the Israelite's decision would enable future evil
kings to lead the nation into sin. |
