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 25

I just want to say thank you so much for your conversations via YouTube. I regularly tune in to your lectures, “Let’s Talk” sessions, and many others. Through these I’ve found greater depth and meaning to God’s word. Thanks for all that you do and please continue. I’m currently working in the middle of Silicon Valley at Stanford University. I feel like God really has me in the right place right now and I’m sensing that your teachings might be part of it.

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!

Judy Phelps, Reno, NV, 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 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.

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 18

The Healing the Mind DVD set tarted me on a journey that has changed my relationship with our loving God more significantly than any other study, and brought me to your book and Bible study podcasts, which I now listen to daily, thanks to the availability of archived content on your site and on iTunes.

Testimony 29

Thank you for all of your work to correct misconceptions about God’s character. So many people that my husband and I have talked to seem to be against the natural law construct and view it as “errant” and “dangerous.” Having learned more about it through your blogs and lessons, I don’t really understand why they view it that way, except that it means they have to relearn theology they have known for their entire lives. But I’m so excited to relearn this. For the past few years I have been questioning how I could trust a God who punishes arbitrarily and is full of wrath for those who don’t obey His commands. That view made me afraid to “mess up” or “not be good enough,” even within my relationship with God. I really appreciated the point you bring out about God not wanting us to serve Him because we are afraid, but because we love Him.

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 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).

Dalio M.

Testimony 31

It was very touching to hear the testimony of your class share how viewing God’s true character has changed their lives. My feelings are the same – there is so much freedom in knowing that God LOVES me – regardless of my… just, REGARDLESS! I’m still blown away by the true gospel, the fact that God is not ready to strike us when we fail. He is not arbitrary. He simply loves us and warns of the natural consequences because He can’t stand to see us suffer. I AM IN LOVE WITH THIS GOD!!!

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!

I personally download and listen to each of Come And Reason Ministries Bible study class lessons and PDF study notes to use when teaching my class. Really appreciate the class especially when Dr. Jennings is teaching. Thank God there are persons like him doing His work and traveling to share His beliefs.

Testimony 3

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 48

I just want to tell you how blessed I have been reading “The Remedy!” It has become a daily part of my devotional relationship with God. In it I have found a God of love and a God that loves me! The bible has come alive for me! It is the first time that I can say that I have felt hope fill my heart as I have read God’s word. This is good news I can share! Thank you, Dr Jennings! Thank you for your heart for others. I can’t put into words how this has set me free! It has strengthened my trust and love for God.

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!!
