- Samuel and the Call of God: Paving the Way to the Messiah
Samuel points to Jesus in some pretty unique and interesting ways In fact, some scholars would say that his life nearly mirrors or foreshadows the life of Christ Here are three similarities between Samuel and Jesus (as well as some major differences):
- Finding Jesus in the Books of Samuel - Making Him Known
In addition to the offices of prophet, priest, and judge, there are many other ways the life of Samuel foreshadows the coming Messiah, Jesus Christ Both Samuel and Jesus were born under miraculous circumstances Samuel’s mother, Hannah, was barren
- Bible Study: A Typology of Jesus in 1 Samuel
The primary focus of 1 Samuel is on the history and events of Samuel, Saul, and David in the context of Israel’s story However, as with much of the Old Testament, the themes, patterns, and characters can often be seen to foreshadow or point towards the ultimate revelation of God in Jesus Christ
- The Foreshadowing of God’s Promises To Us That Were Fulfilled . . .
After 275 years without the Word of God in Israel, God spoke again to His people through Samuel the prophet, who was also a Christ type, and after the closing of the Old Testament, after 430 years of silence, God sent His Word in the flesh Jesus Christ to speak to His people again
- Samuel, Israels Priest, Judge Prophet, a Type of Christ
Samuel's service to God foreshadowed Christ's perfect life of faith as the Son of God, and of man At the time Samuel entered the Lord's work the Nation of Israel and its Priesthood had strayed from God's Law and was corrupt This as was also the condition of Israel when Christ ministered on earth
- 1 and 2 Samuel: Unveiling the King, Priest, and Prophet
The central theme of kingship in 1 2 Samuel serves as a powerful foreshadowing of Jesus Christ, the ultimate King of Kings The anointing of Saul and later David as kings of Israel parallels the anointing of Jesus as the divine King, inaugurating a new spiritual kingdom
- Samson, Samuel, John and the Birth of Jesus - SHARPER IRON
Samuel had anointed David as king, but he died while David was on the run from Saul, the disappointing king he had also anointed (I Samuel 25:1) John was beheaded during imprisonment, struggling with doubts that Jesus really was the Messiah (John 7:18-23)
