1 Samuel 14

Jonathan decides to go against a garrison of the Philistines without telling his father and he wins. And the Philistines are in great confusion and they fight against each other. And the Israelites who fled or went with the Philistines come back to Saul and they pursue the Philistines. And God saves the Israelites. But Saul had told the Israelites not to eat before the evening and having finished with the Philistines. But Jonathan doesn’t know so he eats honey and his face begins to shine and the people tell him. And Jonathan says it was a mistake from his father because the Israelites could have killed many more Philistines. But at the end the people are so hungry that they eat the cattle with the blood but it is forbidden by God. So Saul says to the Israelites to make sacrifices to be forgiven by God. And Saul wants to fight against the Philistines so the priest tells him to ask God but God doesn’t answer so Saul wants to know who has sinned. And Jonathan says that he ate a bit of honey. So Saul wants to kill him but the people oppose Saul because the victory is possible because of him. So the people rescue Jonathan and Saul stops pursuing the Philistines. Saul secures his kingship over Israel and fights all his enemies and he defeats all of them. There is fierce warfare with the Philistines all the days of Saul.

- We are told about a story of wars!

- Jonathan eats not knowing his father said the Israelites couldn’t do it till the evening!

- As a consequence of Saul’s sayings, the Israelites are starving and they eat the cattle with their blood which is a sin!

- Bad decisions lead to sins against Yah.weh!

- And sins accumulate to a great extent!

- When we look at today’s society, it is so far away from Yah.weh that it is nonsense!

- And the world is getting crazy!

- And the scientists are warning the political leaders!

- But political leaders are trying to survive now so they don’t care about what comes next!

- The problem is that everything accumulates and the pressure will become more and more unbearable!

- And history is a warning but they turned off the alarm a long time ago!

- Is our alarm off?

- Here we have two ways: Jonathan goes one way, Saul goes another one!

- Jonathan is successful, Saul will keep fighting the Philistines all his life and they will kill him and his sons!

- PRIDE VS HUMILITY!

- In Yah.weh’s next promised land, there will only be humility!

- There won’t be any room for human pride!

- THE ONLY BOSS WILL BE YAH.WEH!

1 Samuel 15

Samuel tells Saul that God has sent him to anoint him as king over Israel. Saul will have to strike the Amalekites and destroy them (man, woman, child and infant and all the animals) with all that they have because they opposed Israel. So they killed all the Amalekites except king Agag and the best of the flock and all that is good. But they destroy everything which is worthless. Then God tells Samuel what Saul and the Israelites have done and Samuel is very upset and he keeps crying out to God all night long. When Samuel arrives, Saul tells him he has done everything according to God. So Samuel asks about the flock and Saul says that the people have spared the herd for sacrificing to God. And Samuel tells him to stop. Because he hasn’t done according to God’s word, obeying God is better than a sacrifice. As a consequence, God has rejected Saul and he will put somebody else as king over Israel. And Saul kills Agag. And Samuel leaves and will never see Saul again.

- All the time God says one thing to Israel and all the time Israel rebels!

- But they never understand!

- And he strikes again and again!

- And when they can’t stand it they call for God’s help again!

- And when things get better, they start to rebel against God!

- What about humanity?

- It is exactly the same story!

- They never understand!

- Till the end they will never understand!

- And when the end comes, it will be too late!

- They may cry, but it will be too late!

- Justice implies that everybody must pay for his actions!

- Why are human beings so stupid?

- Because they are too superficial?

- They think they are important!

- But they are good for nothing!

- That’s why the Bible tells about God and few faithful human beings!

- But being a human being is such a shame!

- Yah.weh’s word vs human tradition!

- Everything is written in the Bible!

- And they keep following human tradition as the Hebrews did!

- Really a joke!

- But there will be a time to cry!

- But it happened to the Hebrews!

- Ah no sorry, they are Yah.weh’s people!

- Yah.weh will strike them as he stroke the Hebrews!

- END OF THE JOKE!
