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 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 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.

Testimony 74

Thank you so much for opening my eyes. I’ve been through a lot of ministries that just didn’t show the love of God that I felt he was. You have helped me to begin the process of true healing. I thought I was “too far gone,” now I know there’s hope in Jesus, because he loves us beyond what we can comprehend. Thank you again for all you do. I truly appreciate it and pray more people find you (physical at your studio and through this website).

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.

Chris P., Lake Mary, FL, USA

 

Testimony 62

I would like to express my thanks to the C&R team for creating a platform from which people can learn to trust in God and grow. My life is a witness to the effectiveness of this ministry. Without believing the truth about God as you have shown, I don’t know what my life would be like. I had given up on God helping me with certain sins – it was all useless. Given that the scripture is clear and God is so good, how could I have betrayed him so many times? I was a yo-yo christian; spinning up and down. My faith and enthusiasm was driven by discoveries/threats that prophecy is about to be fulfilled. But when I watched your “Healing the Mind” seminar, it was like a light finally went on. I could see God had no plan to hurt me, the danger came from sin, and that He is working to protect me and strengthen me. Thank you for allowing God to use you. The message God gave C&R saved my life!

Testimony 61

I grew up in a prominent protestant church and had what I like to call religious anxiety. I’ve always had questions about God and Salvation that no one could seem to answer.  I didn’t know how to find resolution. During 2020, at the height of my anxiety, I fell to my knees and begged God to show me truth and light and to give me the hope that I’ve been longing for. Days later, I stumbled upon your online videos and it was like a veil was lifted and EVERYTHING made sense! For the first time in my almost 39 years of life, my religious/spiritual anxiety has lessened. I feel a sense of freedom and peace I’ve NEVER had before… and it’s all because my view of God has changed. Thank you!

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.

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 21

I am absolutly on fire with the message at Come and Reason! I can’t get enough! I’ve read your book, blog, and articles. I’ve listened to your Bible study podcasts, your radio show, and your series – all excellent! It wasn’t until the past couple of years that I have I like I’m becoming “healthy,” with more to share with others than just beasts and commandments! I used to be a Bible worker and preached when the pastors were gone until I had had enough. I didnt realize at the time what the problem was, but i know now… the message wasn’t properly focused. Now my flame is rekindled. All of your little examples are so perfect in explaining something “complicated” and making it easily understood! Now I’m trying to shape it into a life changing evangelistic series! Thank you!

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 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 11

I would love to have a copy of “Healing the Mind” DVDs to have in my therapy office. I enjoy having clients check out materials to enhance their therapy experience. I have sat under Dr. Jennings’ teaching at an American Association of Christian Counselors convention and respect his work greatly.

K.B., LA, USA

 

Testimony 34

I was introduced to Come and Reason Ministries by accident, via a passing comment made in a bible study class we were visiting. I checked this website out and my life was changed. The understanding of the truth of God’s character, and how we apply it, is so right. The tricky part is consistently applying which “lens” to look through. As I began to understand, I started sharing the basics of this understanding with a discussion group I was leading and, suddenly, a lot of things started to make sense that never used to. At the same time, I enjoyed an amazing opportunity. I was able to conduct a full bible study at WORK! What an amazing experience! It is such a joy to share the truth about God and to share how it all fits in the war between God and Satan. So many people benefit when we have a correct understanding about how God works and who He really is! Thank you for this transformational understanding. Keep up the good work! God Bless you!
