Prophet Pearls #35-Nasso
Judges 13:2-25

May 29, 2015
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Judges 13:2–25. It accompanies the Torah portion Nasso (Numbers 4:21–7:89).
This Haftorah begins the famous story of Samson. After 40 years of Philistine oppression, God promises to raise up a deliverer. A divine messenger announces the birth and mission of Samson and instructs his parents about certain special requirements concerning their son. Samson is to be a Nazirite from the time of his conception to the end of his life. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls: Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
If you would like to listen to Keith and Nehemia discuss the Torah portions that correlate to the Prophet portions, here are the original Torah Pearls programs recorded in 2011-2012.

When I listened to this one it made me think about the confusion of language I see with what Christians use with Yeshua. God and man is often termed. Now my understanding of a vassal is that they must be the perfect representation of the Suzerain and do the Will of that Suzerain. So I see the language in the wife saying man and messenger. And when Manoah says what He says, there is a message sent here that is supposed to be a perfect will/representation of God’s will. So when this messenger brings the word it is like God Himself is speaking it. In other words he cannot say anything else other than exactly what God is saying for them, as His representative. Just some thoughts.
