Judges Class 09 - Samson

Samson is perhaps the preeminent judge of Israel, both as the last one discussed and the one discussed the most. Samson and Samuel are very similar; for both their birth is auspicious, and they are both called to be Nazarites for life. The life of Samson begins when the Angel of the Lord comes to the Danite Manoah and promises them a son. He returns after their prayer to counsel them how to raise the special son they will be given. This Angel only declares His name as “Wonderful” (compare this with Isaiah 9:6), then vanishes into the flame of the sacrifice. To this Manoah declares “we have seen God”.
