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 36

Thank you and may God continue to bless you as you share with others the intricacies of how we are all “fearfully and wonderfully made”. I must share that you have opened a whole new world to me, and I have found tremendous healing through what you have shared in two of your books, “Could It Be This Simple?” and “The God Shaped Brain.” I praise God for what you shared, what I have learned, and how I have grown and healed! My prayer is that My Precious Jesus will be seen by others in the way I live, act, talk, etc. and they may be encouraged to know He is truly a GREAT God of LOVE, desiring that no one should perish! God Bless you in your continued endeavors to present Him as He really is!

Testimony 55

I was born [into the church], then I left it for many years. 10 years ago, I came back, but I could not take the hypocrisy and the lack of answers to the missing pieces. I struggled, but I did not abandon my commitment to know the truth. God is leading me to the simple understanding of his relevance and I am relearning what the church taught me as a youth… that he loves me, that he has led me to a knowledge of him such as I have never known. He is using Dr. Jennings to connect the dots that are now so apparent and hiding in plain sight!

Testimony 56

I cannot thank you enough for opening my understanding to the beautiful truth of God’s Law of Love and how it applies to everything. I have been a Christian for over forty years, but I feel like I am only now seeing with my eyes open. Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!

Testimony 51

I Love This Ministry!!!!!!! I see first hand how this message is desperately needed, how erroneous beliefs about God and His Character negatively affect humanity at every level. I thank God for your ministry, as I was searching on my own and was discovering some of your same beliefs and was blown away when I found your ministry. I know you hear it all the time, but it is truly life changing. May God continue to reveal His Will to you and Bless you!

Testimony 20

I just wanted to personally thank you for your teachings and insight into scripture. I came across your website via my cousin who suggested I look into “Healing the Mind” information. My youngest daughter has been struggling over the last couple of years and it all came to a head this spring. When I started listening to the “Healing the Mind” lectures my own life began to be transformed. I began sharing with all my daughters the concepts you laid out so clearly. I ordered your book and soaked it up. I just want to say “Thank You!” My walk with the Lord has been refreshed and renewed. Your obedience to the Lord is a blessing to so many.

Testimony 70

I have been watching you for many years and have learned to love God with all my heart. I was raised by a loving Christian mother that had been lied to about who God really was, so our religious upbringing was hell fire and damnation. As soon as I was old enough and moved out, I not only left the church, I ran as fast as I could to get away from it. Sad to say, it wasn’t until the past couple of years that I learned and understand who my Father really is and how much He loves me. I understand God’s Design Laws (which make sense) and when I’m teaching my church Bible study class, I’m able to really put to use the things I’ve been learning and Holy Spirit is leading. Thank you for introducing me to my Father of true, pure love. Everyday with Him is new and exciting. One thing that breaks my heart is that I didn’t know Him sooner. God Bless you and your ministry!

Testimony 69

After reading your book, ‘Could It Be This Simple,’ someone was explaining Christianity in a way that made sense to me for the first time in my life. One morning, I simply prayed “I’m sorry and I love you.” As soon as I silently said that, I could literally feel God’s presence and light flood down on me from above and fill me up with love and joy. I sat there crying my eyes out, because I was so overpowered with this feeling of love and joy. It was just so incredible. I hope that more people can read this book and get a blessing from it. It’s really amazing.

Testimony 50

After coming into contact with Come And Reason Ministries, I can finally say that many of my unanswered questions have fallen into place. I discovered that my view of God’s Law was “imposed laws and rules” with “imposed punishments” and that this was the major culprit of my many unanswered questions. Thanks be to God for using you and those around you to help us who have struggled with this “infection” of thought. I have now rejected the “imposed law” concept to fully embrace “Design Law”… to look thru “Design Law,” instead of “imposed law,” is a relief.

Testimony 66

I am incredibly grateful for the transformative impact you’ve had on my life, and words cannot fully express my appreciation. Over the years, I have been an avid listener and follower of C&R and extend my heartfelt thanks for creating the C&R mobile app. It has allowed me to immerse myself in your lessons repeatedly, enabling me to grasp the profound significance about the Character of God, Design Law, the protocols for life, the reasons behind the current chaos, and Christ’s mission to restore everything. They have deeply touched me. Having studied with various churches, I came away with the perception that God is no different from the deities of ancient Greek or Roman mythology—demanding sacrifices and taking pleasure in bloodshed. Thanks to your transformative teachings, I have experienced a profound awakening to the true nature of God and the immense power of His love. It is truly a remarkable and liberating sensation to finally grasp the truth and embrace the empowering nature of God’s laws. My self-perception has become brighter and more infused with love. My journey of growth continues on a daily basis.

I have been really blessed reading your response to the various questions on your site.

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.

Testimony 52

Your unique way in spreading the truth is what we all need today. Most of us don’t recognize the contamination coming from all the lies and selfishness in the world. Because of our fear of death, we forgot how to live. Lies left and right. I was losing hope and faith, because of so many ideas that are always contradicting each other – so many questions answered by other, more complicated, questions – until I found your channel on YouTube.

You did not just give me answers, you also taught me how to answer new questions that arise in my mind. Now I see things differently. I see God’s mercy, grace, and Love everywhere, in spite of all the chaos that we all have done as humans. I don’t fear death anymore. Accepting the Truth and Love about God is truly a genuine Freedom from all the confusions, sufferings, selfishness, pain, and death.

I just wanted to say, thank you, sooooo much for revealing the real Remedy for our infected life. I have a new hope and now see the world in a different perspective!

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.

Testimony 27

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.

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
