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 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.

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!

My husband is a pastor and I listen to your lesson almost every week. Thank you for helping me in my study life and to help me love the “real” God more.

Testimony 30

God lead me to your book “The God-Shaped Brain” while I was searching for another book about the brain and then to your interview about your book on HeartWise Ministries [where] I found out about [Come And Reason Ministries]. I’m now devouring the webcasts of your Bible studies. I have been so greatly blessed and I thank God so much for your courage to speak the Truth in love no matter what. Listening to you contrast the two opposing systems (laws) and digging deep to unearth the hidden treasures in the Bible makes me so incredibly happy and I feel very blessed to be part of your Bible Study Group although I live far away. I am just so excited that there is a group of people that is spreading the Truth about the character of God and it saddens me how few realize what our Father in Heaven is really like.

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.

Testimony 49

I came into the church at 21, but that is as far as it went. I was so confused about what love is. I couldn’t find it in the bible, because I am not a person that can read between the lines. I have no logic. I have read many, many books; trying to figure out the crux of the matter. They were helpful, but something was still missing. I have become very frustrated to the point of crying out to God, “Where can I go?”  I needed some basics.

I found two books, written by Timothy Jennings, MD, to be very helpful. God showed me that I had lived my whole life in fear. I didn’t even see it. Now, I do. God is so good.  I discovered the “The Remedy”  Dr. Jennings new book, “The God-Shaped Heart!” Oh, I was so excited, I purchased them right away.

I can get rid of most of my books, because “The Remedy” brings the Love of God out so clearly, even I can’t miss it. Now, I want to sit and read my Bible. Wow, what a revelation! It is just simply Awesome! I am so grateful to Jehovah Almighty for hearing my prayer for more understanding! I am so encouraged!

Testimony 43

Two years ago I stumbled upon your book, “Could It Be This Simple,” and then found “The God-Shaped Brain” videos on YouTube, your bible study class, and the ‘Come And Reason’ mobile app. I shared your book with a friend and after nine months of showing love, patience, and kindness this person has been changed by the love of God, too. The same love that healed me, I now express to other women in tangible ways, such as to a Baptist woman with high anxiety and childhood trauma. She was extremely happy and relieved when I shared about the so-called “judgment of God” and burning in hell. She had no desire to serve a God that was so harsh. I have repeated the phrase dozens of times to her. “What we believe has power over us, but we have power over what we believe…”

This message that you are sharing has changed my life. I will continue to serve other women and bring this message of God’s healing love to their lives by sharing your books, YouTube videos, and The Remedy Bible app. Keep up the good work. Don’t be discouraged. God is doing a mighty work in and through this ministry!

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.

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!

Eric S., Sanford, FL, USA

 

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 13

I borrowed “Healing The Mind” DVDs from a friend and showed them at my home for a small gathering of women friends. Neither of my friends are Adventist, but they both enjoyed and embraced the messages you taught. In fact, one of the ladies prayed out loud in our group and that was the first time she had ever had public prayer.

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.

Testimony 5

We listen to your bible studies lessons in our class in Montana. You actually were the main reason I decided to get a laptop, so I can go to your site and listen, read, learn, and print the class notes. I am so grateful to learn the correct view of God and his character. Now, to just have others have an interest in knowing, so I can share it with them. Good thoughts your way.

R. N., MT, USA

 

Testimony 41

I have been blessed by your ministry. I have experienced personally, and deeply resonate with, the God of love and the beautiful picture of God’s character that you present. I have seen your seminar series on YouTube, read ‘The Journal of the Watcher’ book, used your mobile app, and also listen/study the bible study lesson with you each week. I concur with many of the thoughts and perspectives that you share. I understand your conclusions on natural laws vs imposed law and the legal/penal substitution (incorrect diagnosis). This makes perfect sense to me.

Bless you for all you do.

Melissa L.

 

Testimony 8

Thank you for the ministry you are sharing with us, it is a real blessing to us and especially to my husband and myself! You are encouraging us to think for ourselves and not just to except everything, without thinking it through, with God’s word!
