1GodOnlyOne | Heroes of the Bible: Samson @1godonlyone119 | Uploaded 9 years ago | Updated 7 seconds ago
Samson was a Nazarite from birth, and God adored him and blessed him with great physical strength. The Nazarite vow is a threefold vow:
1. to never cut or comb one’s hair;
2. to never drink alcohol, and;
3. to never touch a dead body.
The Holy Bible features a historical account of Samson’s life, and reveals details of his feats of amazing physical strength:
Samson once visited the vineyards of Timnath with his mother and father. While there, a lion attacked Samson.
When the lion attacked Samson, the Spirit of the Lord came mightily upon him, and Samson defended himself against the lion’s attack and dispatched the lion with his bare hands.
The atheistic Philistines once murdered a woman who Samson favored, along with her father, by cruelly burning them in a fire.
Upon learning of the murder, Samson publicly vowed to avenge these two innocent people. He then proceeded to light the Philistines’ city on fire.
Then three thousand soldiers went to Samson and said, “Knowest thou not that the Philistines are rulers over us? what is this that thou hast done unto us?”
And Samson said unto them, “As they did unto me, so have I done unto them.”
When those three-thousand atheistic soldiers attacked Samson, he averted their unprovoked attack in self-defense, and dispatched one-thousand of them using only the jawbone of a donkey as a weapon.
After the Gazites made a public vow to murder Samson, he approached the gate of their city at midnight and ripped two 500-foot-tall gates out of the ground with his bare hands and walked away with them. He carried the gates on his shoulders to the top of a high hill located near Hebron, and left them there.
Samson fell in love with a beautiful but treacherous woman named Delilah. And Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me, I pray thee, wherein thy great strength lieth, and wherewith thou mightest be bound to afflict thee.”
And Samson said unto her, “If they bind me with seven green withs that were never dried, then shall I be weak, and be as another man.”
Delilah therefore took new ropes, and bound him therewith, and said unto him, “The Philistines be upon thee, Samson.” And there were liers in wait abiding in the chamber. And he brake the strong bonds from off his mighty arms las if they were mere threads.
Delilah again asked Samson how his great strength might be dissipated. This time, out of his love for her, he revealed his heart, and said unto her, “There hath not come a razor upon mine head; for I have been a Nazarite unto God from my mother's womb: if I be shaven, then my strength will go from me, and I shall become weak, and be like any other man.”
And she made him sleep upon her lap; and she called for a man, and she caused him to shave off the seven locks of Samson’s head; and she began to afflict him, and his strength went from him.
After he lost his strength, the atheistic leaders of the Philistines put Samson in prison and cruelly plucked out his eyes, blinding him for life. And they called for Samson out of the prison house; and forced him to entertain them in a great banquet hall filled with 10,000 demonic Philistines.
Samson asked to be led to the pillars of the banquet hall on the pretense of needing to lean upon them. Now the house was full of demonic (ie, atheistic) men; and all the atheistic leaders of the Philistines were there; and there were upon the roof about three thousand demonic men, that beheld while Samson made sport.
And Samson called unto the Lord, and said, “O Lord God, remember me, I pray thee, and strengthen me, I pray thee, only this once, O God, that I may be at once avenged of the Philistines for the loss of my eyes.”
And Samson took hold of the two middle pillars upon which the house stood, and on which it was borne up, of the one with his right hand, and of the other with his left.
And Samson said, “Let me die with the Philistines.” And he pushed on the pillars with all his might; and the house fell upon the demonic leaders of the Philistines, and upon all the atheistic Philistines that were therein. All told, Samson dispatched more than 14,000 demonic (ie, atheistic) Philistines during his lifetime.
