| Genesis 49:8-12 Sceptre is ruling. Shiloh is Messiah |
8 Judah, thee shall thy brethren praise: Thy hand shall be on the neck of thine enemies; Thy father’s sons shall bow down before thee. 9 Judah is a lion’s whelp; From the prey, my son, thou art gone up: He stooped down, he couched as a lion, And as a lioness; who shall rouse him up? 10 The sceptre shall not depart from Judah, Nor the ruler’s staff from between his feet, Until Shiloh come; And unto him shall the obedience of the peoples be. 11 Binding his foal unto the vine, And his ass’s colt unto the choice vine; He hath washed his garments in wine, And his vesture in the blood of grapes: 12 His eyes shall be red with wine, And his teeth white with milk. |
Some highlights and interesting points of the selection of God for King Saul and after being selected:
| 1 Samuel 9:1 | Saul's father was Kish, who was a mighty man of power from the Tribe of Benjamin. Benjaminites were known from many scriptures as strong and sometimes violent. |
| 1 Samuel 9:2 | Saul was the most handsome man in all of the nation of Israel. |
| 1 Samuel 9:15-19 | God tells the Prophet Samuel on the man to chose for the first King of Israel. The reason was the Nation of Israel was "crying / asking" for a king so God answered their plea and prayer. |
| 1 Samuel 9:27 | The Prophet Samuel anoints Saul as the first King of Israel with the Word of God as the authority on the selection. |
| 1 Samuel 10:1-16 | Prophecies occur for King Saul |
| 1 Samuel 10:17-24 | (a) The Prophet Samuel presents King Saul to the people. (b) Samuel also informs Israel that by their "crying / asking" they have acted as a rejection of God. |
While war was not the sin, the grievous sin was Saul sending David to die in war. Note that David, later his life, will use the same tactic with success, to get Bathsheba's husband killed to cover up the adultery of David which had an adulterous pregnancy. The fascinating aspect of the pregnancy, is the use of the pregnancy to be one of the many proofs of the Age of Accountability when the baby dies after child birth, and the scriptures inform us that David says he will see the child again.
| 1 Samuel 18:5 | And David went out whithersoever Saul sent him, and behaved himself wisely: and Saul set him over the men of war, and it was good in the sight of all the people, and also in the sight of Saul’s servants. |
Recall that the people of Israel knew of David's victory over the Giant Goliath, who was a Rephaim, so they believed and trusted in God was with David. When David return from battles, the women sang a song that glorified David over King Saul:
| 1 Samuel 17:45-50 | 45 Then said David to the Philistine, Thou comest to me with a sword, and with a spear, and with a javelin: but I come to thee in the name of Jehovah of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom thou hast defied. 46 This day will Jehovah deliver thee into my hand; and I will smite thee, and take thy head from off thee; and I will give the dead bodies of the host of the Philistines this day unto the birds of the heavens, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, 47 and that all this assembly may know that Jehovah saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is Jehovah’s, and he will give you into our hand. 48 And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. 49 And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth. 50 So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David. |
| 1 Samuel 18:6-9 | 6 And it came to pass as they came, when David
returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, that the women came out
of all the cities of Israel, singing and dancing, to meet king Saul,
with timbrels, with joy, and with instruments of music. 7
And the women sang one to another as they played,
and said, Saul hath slain his thousands, And David his ten thousands. 8 And Saul was very wroth, and this saying displeased him; and he said, They have ascribed unto David ten thousands, and to me they have ascribed but thousands: and what can he have more but the kingdom? 9 And Saul eyed David from that day and forward. |

7 Now some of the Hebrews had gone over the Jordan to the land of Gad and Gilead; but as for Saul, he was yet in Gilgal, and all the people followed him trembling. 8 And he tarried seven days, according to the set time that Samuel had appointed: but Samuel came not to Gilgal; and the people were scattered from him. 9 And Saul said, Bring hither the burnt-offering to me, and the peace-offerings. And he offered the burnt-offering. 10 And it came to pass that, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, behold, Samuel came; and Saul went out to meet him, that he might salute him. 11 And Samuel said, What hast thou done? And Saul said, Because I saw that the people were scattered from me, and that thou camest not within the days appointed, and that the Philistines assembled themselves together at Michmash; 12 therefore said I, Now will the Philistines come down upon me to Gilgal, and I have not entreated the favor of Jehovah: I forced myself therefore, and offered the burnt-offering. 13 And Samuel said to Saul, Thou hast done foolishly; thou hast not kept the commandment of Jehovah thy God, which he commanded thee: for now would Jehovah have established thy kingdom upon Israel for ever. 14 But now thy kingdom shall not continue: Jehovah hath sought him a man after his own heart, and Jehovah hath appointed him to be prince over his people, because thou hast not kept that which Jehovah commanded thee. |
Read about the Garden of Eden. What is Salvation? Is it possible to lose Salvation? We have eternal life. Evolution is not real. When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it. Rewards in heaven. Do we Tithe? What does the 3rd Commandment tell us? What is Grace and Mercy? Is there an Age of Accountability? Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
