Samson : Un Préfigurateur Du Christ

Samson : Un Préfigurateur Du Christ

La Bible nous dit que les histoires de l’Ancien Testament ont été enregistrées à titre d’exemples (1 Corinthiens 10:6 S21).

La Bible est un récit de personnages historiques, d’événements réels et de lieux littéraux. Mais la Bible est plus qu’un livre d’histoire. Les vies et événements spécifiques enregistrés dans les Écritures ont été inclus par l’inspiration de Dieu dans le but de faire avancer le plan de salut. Nous lisons sur les descendants d’Abraham, d’Isaac et de Jacob, car c’est par eux, leurs familles et leurs descendants, que le Messie promis viendrait (Genèse 3:15).

Mais plus encore, bon nombre des expériences de vie enregistrées sont des exemples, des leçons de choses ou des préfigurations de réalités plus grandes dans le plan du salut.

Par exemple, outre la naissance virginale de Jésus, sept naissances miraculeuses sont enregistrées dans la Bible. Ces autres naissances miraculeuses n’étaient pas des naissances virginales ; c’étaient des femmes infertiles que Dieu a guéries. C’était donc un miracle de guérir la maladie de l’infertilité afin que les femmes tombent enceintes de la manière normale. Ces sept naissances spéciales représentent toutes Jésus d’une manière ou d’une autre :

  1. Sarah—Isaac : représente l’Enfant promis qui serait sacrifié.
  2. Rébecca – Jacob : en union avec Dieu, Jacob a lutté contre ses propres peurs et son égoïsme et a vaincu, devenant finalement le père de la nation bâtie sur ses douze fils. Cela préfigure Jésus, qui a lutté contre la tentation et a vaincu pour devenir la pierre angulaire de l’Église, bâtie sur l’œuvre des douze apôtres.
  3. Rachel—Joseph : les événements de la vie de Joseph préfigurent grandement la vie de Jésus ; vous pouvez en savoir plus à ce sujet sur notre blog Joseph : Une préfiguration du Christ.
  4. Hannah—Samuel : représente notre Souverain Sacrificateur céleste, Jésus.
  5. Femme sunamite – enfant décédée et ressuscitée : représente Jésus, mort et ressuscité.
  6. Elizabeth – Jean-Baptiste : Jean a été décrit comme le plus grand des prophètes et représente fidèlement Jésus, qui était le plus grand de tous les prophètes.
  7. La femme de Monoah : Samson
Samson : une préfiguration du Sauveur

Samson était un enfant issu d’une naissance miraculeuse, préfigurant, comme les autres ci-dessus, la naissance miraculeuse de Jésus notre Sauveur.

Samson était doté d’une force physique surnaturelle. Jésus était doté d’une force spirituelle surnaturelle.

La force physique de Samson venait de sa connexion avec Dieu. Jésus, en tant que notre Sauveur humain, a reçu sa force spirituelle de sa connexion avec son Père.

Jésus a dit,

En vérité, en vérité, je vous le dis, le Fils ne peut rien faire de lui-même, sinon ce qu’il voit le Père accomplir. Tout ce que le Père fait, le Fils aussi le fait pareillement.… Je ne peux rien faire de moi-même (Jean 5:19, 30 S21).

Samson a utilisé sa force surnaturelle pour affronter et renverser les ennemis d’Israël, et lorsqu’il a été attaqué par un lion, il a été rempli de l’Esprit du Seigneur et a déchiré la bête à mains nues (Juges 14:4, 6).

Jésus était rempli de l’Esprit du Seigneur et a utilisé sa force spirituelle surnaturelle pour affronter, vaincre et détruire nos ennemis, y compris Satan le lion rugissant (1 Pierre 5:8), ainsi que ses mensonges et le pouvoir de la mort lui-même :

Puisque ces enfants ont en commun la condition humaine, lui-même l’a aussi partagée, de façon similaire. Ainsi, par sa mort, il a pu rendre impuissant celui qui exerçait le pouvoir de la mort, c’est-à-dire le diable, 15et libérer tous ceux que la peur de la mort retenait leur vie durant dans l’esclavage.  (Hébreux 2:14, 15 S21).

Samson a défié ses ennemis dans diverses énigmes (Juges 14:12). Jésus a défié ses ennemis avec des paraboles et des exemples de vie (Jean 21:25).

Samson aimait une femme réprouvée et indigne de confiance dont il avait fait sa femme, et elle l’a trahi. Jésus aime l’humanité, qui est décrite comme une femme adultère dont il a fait sa femme, et elle (nous) l’a trahi, rejeté et crucifié (Jérémie 3:20 ; 9:2 ; Jacques 4:4).

Samson fut le dernier des juges à régner sur Israël. Jésus est le juge ultime de toutes choses (Jean 5:27).

Samson, dans sa mort, a détruit le temple païen et ceux endurcis dans leur rébellion contre Dieu. Jésus, par sa mort, a détruit la synagogue de Satan, celui qui détient le pouvoir de la mort, détruisant la mort et mettant en lumière la vie et l’immortalité, et a détruit l’œuvre du diable (Hébreux 2:14 ; 2 Timothée 1:10 ; 1 Jean 3:8).

La Bible est le récit de personnes réelles et historiques qui ont vécu des vies réelles et historiques. Mais c’est encore plus : c’est une révélation divine de l’amour, du caractère, des méthodes, des principes et du plan de Dieu pour nous sauver, vous et moi, du péché.

En étudiant les Écritures, apprenez non seulement les faits historiques, mais recherchez également les vérités éternelles profondes : les vérités ultimes sont les vérités sur Dieu telles que révélées par Jésus !

Testimony 58

I have been watching your videos in The Power of Love seminar and I must say these have liberated me and have improved my relationship with the Lord. I am no longer terrified of him as I was before following your teachings.

Thando N., South Africa

 

Testimony 9

I really enjoy with you the view of a gracious God. Thank you for sharing the work you are allowing the Lord to do in you.

L., Queensland, Australia

 

Testimony 63

I’ve been very blessed by “The God Shaped Brain” and this ministry, through video and podcast, over the last few years. It’s truly opened up my eyes more to the truth about God and the importance of that truth in the present world. The message is so inviting, freeing and enlightening and MORE people need to know about it. I believe it is the last message that can truly, not only prepare a people for salvation and translation, but vindicate the character of God.

Michael V., Yonkers, NY, USA

 

Testimony 64

I’ve been reading the bible and walking with Jesus since I was around 16. I’m 42 now. I’ve mostly been alone in my walk although I went to several churches in different denominations. For the past 3 years God has been showing me His character of agape. It’s been a blessing and changed how I view God and my walk with Jesus. About a year ago I came across the power of love and the principles of design law. These teachings changed how I read scripture and have been such a beautiful blessing. I’m very excited and grateful for these truths. We share these truths of agape, design law and the reality of the principles of the two trees in the garden of Eden with people on Facebook and YouTube. People all over are learning to trust God and His agape design law which makes life possible. Thank you for everything you shared with me. May God continue to bless your ministry and lives.

Bradley M., Hinsdale, NY, USA

 

Testimony 1

Thank you! I love listening to the Come And Reason Ministries Bible study classes and am using some of your notes to get the lessons together that I will be teaching. You always have such good quotes and Bible texts and pull things together to make good sense.

T. C., IN, USA

 

Testimony 15

I have been sharing Come And Reason Ministries Bible study lessons with several folk. You have such a beautiful view of the plan of salvation. If we had this message preached when I was young, my generation would still all be in church.

H. R., New Zealand

Testimony 39

[This ministry is the] biggest blessing I have ever received! Your DVDs and lessons could not have come at a better time in my life. I have experienced in the past year many difficulties that, if it wasn’t for this wonderful view of God that I have discovered through this ministry, I would not have been able to respond in love and forgiveness. My heart is being transformed everyday by the Calvary-looking God you teach. Hallelujah!! I have tears in my eyes as I write, because my life has taken a complete turn from where I was heading.

I am from Central America. Most of my family is scattered in different parts of the world and all have the same view of God that I had growing up; a distant, exacting, and ready-to-punish-us-with-tragedy type of God. So, I have been translating lessons for my family and, to my surprise, they have also been sharing them with others! I can already see the difference. My brother has often said, “Thank you for sharing, I have never heard it this way!” My other family members are taking an amazing turn from a message of “repent or burn” towards a loving God, pleading to us that we won’t reject him because he loves us eternally.

Bless you for all you do.

Sofia S., Ashfield, MA, USA

 

Testimony 26

Your teachings about our heavenly Father have changed my life. Thank you sooooooo very very much! I know He’s doing some serious healing in my heart and life and I look forward to each new day to learn something new about Him and to just hear you speak about Him. Thank you, forever.

Nancy S.

 

Testimony 65

I have been tuning into your weekly study classes for a while now and wanted express my appreciation for the teachings that ha been a huge blessing in opening up the true message of the word. Viewing scripture under an imposed law theory always, without fail, raised more questions, concerns, and conflicting scripture interpretations that were discouraging at the very least. Looking at scripture through the design law lens has brought more truth to light for me personally and an understanding of our Heavenly Father that places Him “above all others,” where I am now more than thrilled to witness and serve Him.  I “stumbled” across this ministry a year or so ago and would only watch a few minutes at a time. But the more I listened and the longer I paid attention, the more my spiritual eyes were opened to the ever present truths of scripture. The comprehension of the great controversy and it’s origin by the lies perpetrated and perpetuated throughout the Bible on the attack of God’s character and government is truly priceless. Keep up the Good Work! Your servanthood is desperately needed in such a time as this!

Jeff D., Reading, MA, USA

 

Testimony 68

Your message of design law vs imperial law is so uplifting and makes so much sense- it is a game changer for me. The fact that Jesus’s death is not a big payment by an angry God is , quite frankly, a relief.

Laura G., London, Ontario, Canada

 

Testimony 73

I have been truly blessed by your blogs and other resources. They have helped me to see things in a much brighter light and to reason things out better. Thank you so much for your ministry. Whenever I have the opportunity I pass along your material to my friends.

R. Noseworthy, Newfoundland, Canada

Testimony 60

Just watched watched lesson 10 in the 1st quarter 2021 bible study classs on Isaiah. I want to thank you for your intellectual spirituality; it’s not an oxymoron! From the point of view of a teacher I also enjoy seeing how much personal pleasure you clearly take in not just tasting, but feasting on God’s word – it reminds me of Jeremiah not being able to hold it in! It makes me smile that your cup is so full and overflowing that you make it to Tuesday’s lesson (on a good day). It just goes to show the richness of God’s Word.

God bless the Come and Reason Team from our church here in Great Britain.

Andrew H., Great Britain

 

Testimony 32

The message [of Come And Reason Ministries is] for all Christians (and those who may become Christians) and not just Adventists or any other group. It is difficult to imagine why any [anyone] with intellectual and spiritual honesty could find fault with the way you explained the healing substitution concepts and the truth about God’s character, though I know some will reject and criticize. On behalf of those in our group near Tacoma, WA, thank you and your staff for all of the hard work and for sharing the Gospel in this manner. God’s message of healing love will be carried to the whole world and then Jesus will come – He promised it.

Terry U., Tacoma, WA, USA

 

Testimony 4

I’m a youth leader in South Africa. We as a youth group are currently using a lot of the material on the Come and Reason site. Since we’ve started using the material, our youth group has grown.

R. V. N., South Africa

 

Testimony 24

I wanted to thank you very much for presenting your understanding of God. I’ve always been troubled by this question: Why did Jesus have to die? Since my conversion I understood that The Father & Jesus are one, I did not have issues with that. But was there not any other way to save us than for Jesus to die? I guess I actually had a question about God – if He is so wise, how come He did not find another way? I did not see the real ‘beauty’  in the cross. Only when you explained the picture in the medical context, Jesus providing medicine for my selfishness, have I started to finally ‘see the light’. Thank you so much. Your seminar, “Healing the Mind,” are absolutely marvelous & have shared them with my family and many other people, including colleagues at work. Thanks, thanks, thanks. May God bless you abundantly in your ministry.

M. W., Australia
