The Winning Walk with Dr. Ed Young | Ed Young - Redemption | January 25, 2026
- Years come and years go.
- 00:00:02.182 --> 00:00:04.250
- But god's faithfulness never fades.
- 00:00:04.250 --> 00:00:07.654
- It never gets them.
- 00:00:07.654 --> 00:00:09.456
- His love doesn't weaken with time, and his word
- 00:00:09.456 --> 00:00:13.026
- Never loses its power.
- 00:00:13.026 --> 00:00:15.528
- As we step into this new year,
- 00:00:15.528 --> 00:00:18.031
- We're reminded that a successful,
- 00:00:18.031 --> 00:00:20.266
- Victorious life isn't found in our circumstances.
- 00:00:20.266 --> 00:00:24.304
- It's found in a daily, wide, consistent
- 00:00:24.304 --> 00:00:27.607
- Walk with god, who is unchangeable.
- 00:00:27.607 --> 00:00:31.845
- In his presence, we discover how to walk strong,
- 00:00:31.845 --> 00:00:36.349
- How to walk confidently, and how to walk forward
- 00:00:36.349 --> 00:00:39.719
- With assurance that we're on his team.
- 00:00:39.719 --> 00:00:43.022
- Welcome today to the winning
- 00:00:43.623 --> 00:00:45.758
- Walk.
- 00:00:45.758 --> 00:01:06.980
- We are wrapped up
- 00:01:07.413 --> 00:01:08.581
- With superheroes.
- 00:01:08.581 --> 00:01:11.284
- When i was a boy, i went to the movie
- 00:01:11.284 --> 00:01:14.187
- Almost every saturday, close to dying.
- 00:01:14.187 --> 00:01:16.756
- Can you believe that?
- 00:01:16.756 --> 00:01:18.992
- And i watched roy rogers and gene autry,
- 00:01:18.992 --> 00:01:21.928
- And they had a cowboy there.
- 00:01:21.928 --> 00:01:23.263
- If you never heard of pueblo ruth.
- 00:01:23.263 --> 00:01:26.199
- Anybody ever heard of webb larue?
- 00:01:26.199 --> 00:01:28.134
- I mean, this is a special group.
- 00:01:28.134 --> 00:01:30.136
- Webb larue had that whip, and he was a cowboy, and he would.
- 00:01:30.136 --> 00:01:34.607
- He would shoot them or whip the gun out of their hands.
- 00:01:34.607 --> 00:01:37.477
- And so i made me a whip that i worked for weeks
- 00:01:37.477 --> 00:01:41.014
- Trying to be like, whip larue, some superhero.
- 00:01:41.014 --> 00:01:44.284
- And superman came out and captain
- 00:01:45.051 --> 00:01:47.854
- Marvel came out and batman and robin,
- 00:01:47.854 --> 00:01:50.790
- And they keep coming out, coming out, come out.
- 00:01:50.790 --> 00:01:53.493
- All these years.
- 00:01:53.493 --> 00:01:54.694
- We like superheroes,
- 00:01:54.694 --> 00:01:57.130
- And perhaps the one that stands out
- 00:01:57.897 --> 00:01:59.599
- Most in the secular world would be 007
- 00:01:59.599 --> 00:02:05.438
- James bond.
- 00:02:05.772 --> 00:02:08.841
- License to kill.
- 00:02:09.242 --> 00:02:12.111
- Beretta.
- 00:02:12.111 --> 00:02:14.147
- Shaken and not stirred.
- 00:02:14.147 --> 00:02:18.117
- Did you know
- 00:02:18.451 --> 00:02:19.352
- He saved the world from disaster
- 00:02:19.352 --> 00:02:22.255
- 23 different times.
- 00:02:22.255 --> 00:02:25.825
- 20 different movies
- 00:02:26.292 --> 00:02:29.362
- All had the same plot.
- 00:02:29.362 --> 00:02:31.264
- Basically, there was this brilliant villain
- 00:02:31.264 --> 00:02:35.235
- Who was destined to destroy all humanity.
- 00:02:35.235 --> 00:02:40.106
- But then james bond came
- 00:02:40.640 --> 00:02:42.508
- With all of his gadgets
- 00:02:42.508 --> 00:02:45.511
- And with fast cars
- 00:02:45.511 --> 00:02:47.347
- And faster women.
- 00:02:47.347 --> 00:02:52.285
- And so we had seen
- 00:02:52.719 --> 00:02:54.887
- A whole generation of ian fleming's novels
- 00:02:54.887 --> 00:02:59.058
- That came to life in living color.
- 00:02:59.058 --> 00:03:02.295
- Superhero
- 00:03:02.595 --> 00:03:04.497
- James bond that
- 00:03:04.497 --> 00:03:08.034
- We have in our study today.
- 00:03:08.635 --> 00:03:11.571
- Sort of an ancient superhero
- 00:03:11.571 --> 00:03:15.074
- By the name of samson.
- 00:03:15.541 --> 00:03:18.544
- Samson means sunshine.
- 00:03:19.012 --> 00:03:22.482
- As we study his life, we can look at his relationship
- 00:03:22.482 --> 00:03:25.051
- With four females,
- 00:03:25.051 --> 00:03:27.186
- With his mother,
- 00:03:27.587 --> 00:03:30.023
- With his wife,
- 00:03:30.023 --> 00:03:32.258
- With a harlot,
- 00:03:32.258 --> 00:03:34.027
- And with samson and
- 00:03:34.027 --> 00:03:37.297
- Oh, samson and
- 00:03:37.630 --> 00:03:40.400
- Those four females will give us a good way
- 00:03:41.267 --> 00:03:44.804
- To understand the life of samson.
- 00:03:44.804 --> 00:03:48.274
- First of all, samson and his mother.
- 00:03:48.274 --> 00:03:50.843
- Can anybody tell me his mother's name?
- 00:03:50.843 --> 00:03:57.417
- Interesting.
- 00:03:57.750 --> 00:03:58.885
- We don't know her name.
- 00:03:58.885 --> 00:04:01.020
- Everybody gets a plus.
- 00:04:01.020 --> 00:04:03.990
- But 13 times
- 00:04:04.324 --> 00:04:05.892
- She's referred to in chapter 13
- 00:04:05.892 --> 00:04:08.695
- And a couple of verses in chapter 14 as manoah wife.
- 00:04:08.695 --> 00:04:12.465
- Samson's mom or the woman.
- 00:04:12.465 --> 00:04:14.133
- But look at the story here.
- 00:04:14.133 --> 00:04:15.935
- Chapter 13.
- 00:04:15.935 --> 00:04:18.371
- Now the sons of israel again did evil
- 00:04:18.371 --> 00:04:20.707
- In the sight of the lord.
- 00:04:20.707 --> 00:04:22.175
- Have we seen this picture before?
- 00:04:22.175 --> 00:04:25.178
- And the sons of israel did evil in the sight of the lord?
- 00:04:25.178 --> 00:04:27.880
- We've heard that over and over again.
- 00:04:27.880 --> 00:04:30.717
- Verse two.
- 00:04:30.717 --> 00:04:31.517
- There was a certain man of zorah
- 00:04:31.517 --> 00:04:32.919
- In the family of the knights.
- 00:04:32.919 --> 00:04:35.054
- His name was manoah.
- 00:04:35.521 --> 00:04:37.023
- Look at verse three.
- 00:04:37.023 --> 00:04:38.324
- Then the angel lord appeared
- 00:04:38.324 --> 00:04:40.927
- To the woman, samson's mother, and said
- 00:04:40.927 --> 00:04:43.062
- To her, behold, now
- 00:04:43.062 --> 00:04:45.832
- You are barren, and have borne no children,
- 00:04:45.832 --> 00:04:49.068
- But you shall conceive and give birth.
- 00:04:49.068 --> 00:04:51.571
- Now therefore, be careful not to drink wine
- 00:04:51.571 --> 00:04:54.407
- Or a strong drink, nor eat any unclean thing.
- 00:04:54.407 --> 00:04:58.010
- For behold, you shall conceive and give birth to a son,
- 00:04:58.010 --> 00:05:01.681
- And no razor shall come up under his head.
- 00:05:01.681 --> 00:05:04.350
- For the boy shall be a nazarite to god from the womb.
- 00:05:04.350 --> 00:05:08.254
- And he shall begin
- 00:05:08.254 --> 00:05:09.422
- To deliver israel from the hand of the philistines.
- 00:05:09.422 --> 00:05:13.259
- Is something that is that is unbelievable.
- 00:05:13.259 --> 00:05:15.361
- Verses there.
- 00:05:15.361 --> 00:05:17.330
- An angel said, you're going to have a boy,
- 00:05:17.330 --> 00:05:20.333
- A promise.
- 00:05:20.633 --> 00:05:22.368
- Then the angel gives instructions
- 00:05:22.368 --> 00:05:25.338
- As to how that mother is to live as she carries the boy.
- 00:05:25.338 --> 00:05:28.174
- Did you get that?
- 00:05:28.174 --> 00:05:29.175
- You go to god in college today and you're pregnant.
- 00:05:30.176 --> 00:05:32.445
- The guy and god would tell the woman exactly the same thing.
- 00:05:32.445 --> 00:05:35.581
- Exactly the same thing we read here
- 00:05:36.315 --> 00:05:37.884
- Thousands of years ago in the bible.
- 00:05:37.884 --> 00:05:39.685
- Don't drink any strong drink.
- 00:05:39.685 --> 00:05:41.154
- Be careful what you eat.
- 00:05:41.154 --> 00:05:42.422
- Gives instructions right here as to what she has to do.
- 00:05:42.422 --> 00:05:45.425
- And more than that, this angel who we discovered
- 00:05:45.425 --> 00:05:48.327
- To be divine in all probability as the offering that jesus
- 00:05:48.327 --> 00:05:52.331
- And says simply.
- 00:05:52.732 --> 00:05:54.233
- Look, this boy is to be a nazarite.
- 00:05:54.233 --> 00:05:56.335
- What was a nazarite?
- 00:05:56.335 --> 00:05:57.970
- Deuteronomy chapter number six
- 00:05:57.970 --> 00:06:00.706
- Don't get a haircut.
- 00:06:00.706 --> 00:06:02.542
- Don't touch dead bodies.
- 00:06:02.542 --> 00:06:04.410
- Don't drink alcoholic beverages.
- 00:06:04.410 --> 00:06:06.446
- In other words, your boy is to be a special
- 00:06:06.446 --> 00:06:10.082
- Property of god.
- 00:06:10.082 --> 00:06:11.484
- You are to give him to god from his birth.
- 00:06:11.484 --> 00:06:14.787
- And this is the kind of character and moral life
- 00:06:14.787 --> 00:06:18.224
- He is called to live.
- 00:06:18.224 --> 00:06:21.527
- Or write it from.
- 00:06:21.961 --> 00:06:22.795
- And then on top of that, god tells
- 00:06:22.795 --> 00:06:27.033
- This mother and her dad and his dad.
- 00:06:27.033 --> 00:06:29.836
- Menorah. let me tell you something.
- 00:06:29.836 --> 00:06:31.571
- He is to deliver israel.
- 00:06:31.571 --> 00:06:33.639
- He is to be the moral, spiritual, political israel
- 00:06:33.639 --> 00:06:37.477
- Leader of israel tells him
- 00:06:37.477 --> 00:06:40.279
- The purpose of his life right up front.
- 00:06:40.279 --> 00:06:43.816
- Some of us wonder.
- 00:06:44.250 --> 00:06:45.418
- He's trying to figure out how are our children a bit.
- 00:06:45.418 --> 00:06:48.221
- This is instruction.
- 00:06:48.221 --> 00:06:49.288
- Look at verse eight.
- 00:06:49.288 --> 00:06:50.189
- Then menorah samson's dead, entreated.
- 00:06:50.189 --> 00:06:53.192
- The lord has said, o lord, please let the man of god
- 00:06:53.192 --> 00:06:56.929
- Whom you have sent come to us again, that he may teach us
- 00:06:56.929 --> 00:07:01.934
- What to do for the boy who is to be born.
- 00:07:01.934 --> 00:07:05.371
- And then later on he prays again.
- 00:07:05.371 --> 00:07:07.240
- In verse 12, minor said, now when your words come to pass,
- 00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:11.210
- Believe the promise.
- 00:07:11.677 --> 00:07:13.412
- What shall be the boy's mode of life and vocation?
- 00:07:13.412 --> 00:07:18.017
- What does he do?
- 00:07:18.017 --> 00:07:18.718
- Here is a father praying
- 00:07:18.718 --> 00:07:21.120
- For a boy that had not yet been conceived.
- 00:07:21.120 --> 00:07:24.423
- Saying, god,
- 00:07:24.423 --> 00:07:25.558
- Tell me how he is bent, what his inclination will be.
- 00:07:25.558 --> 00:07:28.961
- Tell me how to bring him up.
- 00:07:28.961 --> 00:07:30.530
- Tell me how to love him.
- 00:07:30.530 --> 00:07:31.964
- Tell me how to. counsel him.
- 00:07:31.964 --> 00:07:33.499
- Tell me how to mentor him.
- 00:07:33.499 --> 00:07:35.134
- Right here in the old testament.
- 00:07:35.134 --> 00:07:36.536
- We have principles.
- 00:07:36.536 --> 00:07:37.503
- We think, well,
- 00:07:37.503 --> 00:07:38.604
- We figured out family life right here written.
- 00:07:38.604 --> 00:07:40.740
- No, no no, no.
- 00:07:40.740 --> 00:07:41.574
- Here it is.
- 00:07:41.574 --> 00:07:42.508
- Right in the early stages of god's truth.
- 00:07:42.508 --> 00:07:45.611
- How to
- 00:07:45.811 --> 00:07:46.479
- Be a dad, how to be a mother.
- 00:07:46.479 --> 00:07:49.248
- And then they worship.
- 00:07:49.248 --> 00:07:50.383
- They sacrifice right up front.
- 00:07:50.383 --> 00:07:52.852
- Could you think of of anybody having a better beginning?
- 00:07:52.852 --> 00:07:55.821
- Than samson, his name means sunshine boy.
- 00:07:55.821 --> 00:08:00.059
- What a great name.
- 00:08:00.059 --> 00:08:01.761
- Lord, have godly mother.
- 00:08:01.761 --> 00:08:03.362
- Godly father.
- 00:08:03.362 --> 00:08:04.330
- Already praying, already asking.
- 00:08:04.330 --> 00:08:06.432
- Already committing that son to the living lord.
- 00:08:06.432 --> 00:08:09.735
- What a great beginning he had.
- 00:08:09.735 --> 00:08:13.372
- So we see his relationship with mom was terrific.
- 00:08:13.372 --> 00:08:16.609
- It was right on target.
- 00:08:17.109 --> 00:08:19.345
- There we see the relationship to his wife.
- 00:08:19.345 --> 00:08:21.480
- Things begin to go downhill.
- 00:08:21.480 --> 00:08:23.449
- Look at chapter 14.
- 00:08:23.449 --> 00:08:26.586
- Then samson went down
- 00:08:26.586 --> 00:08:27.954
- To timnah and saw a woman in timnah
- 00:08:27.954 --> 00:08:30.790
- One of the ..daughters of the philistines.
- 00:08:30.790 --> 00:08:33.726
- And he came back and told his father and mother,
- 00:08:33.726 --> 00:08:36.195
- I saw a woman in timnah,
- 00:08:36.195 --> 00:08:38.297
- One of the daughters of the philistines.
- 00:08:38.297 --> 00:08:40.099
- Now therefore, get her for me as a wife,
- 00:08:40.099 --> 00:08:44.203
- But a part of verse three, get her for me,
- 00:08:45.071 --> 00:08:47.974
- For she's good looking, she's sexually appealing.
- 00:08:47.974 --> 00:08:51.544
- Get her for me then, then again move down.
- 00:08:51.544 --> 00:08:54.914
- It says, verse seven.
- 00:08:54.914 --> 00:08:56.949
- And he went down
- 00:08:56.949 --> 00:08:58.084
- And talked to the woman, and she looked good to samson.
- 00:08:58.084 --> 00:09:01.754
- Samson saw this philistine gal and said,
- 00:09:01.754 --> 00:09:04.957
- Man, she is a knockout.
- 00:09:05.458 --> 00:09:08.694
- I've never seen anybody like that.
- 00:09:09.428 --> 00:09:12.031
- That's who i want for my wife.
- 00:09:12.031 --> 00:09:15.034
- Let me tell you something.
- 00:09:15.034 --> 00:09:17.036
- You marry on the basis
- 00:09:17.036 --> 00:09:19.105
- Of just external appearance
- 00:09:19.105 --> 00:09:22.174
- And look out,
- 00:09:22.541 --> 00:09:25.411
- Look out!
- 00:09:25.711 --> 00:09:28.547
- Menorah.
- 00:09:28.814 --> 00:09:29.482
- Samson. dad said,
- 00:09:29.482 --> 00:09:31.751
- Is not there's an israeli girl who could attract you.
- 00:09:31.751 --> 00:09:35.788
- Is not there but one of the jewish girls.
- 00:09:35.788 --> 00:09:39.191
- He was saying, you're marrying somebody who's going
- 00:09:39.191 --> 00:09:42.061
- In a different direction, has a different world group,
- 00:09:42.061 --> 00:09:45.698
- And makes a decision about what's right and wrong
- 00:09:45.698 --> 00:09:47.933
- And a totally different venue of what you've been taught.
- 00:09:47.933 --> 00:09:50.903
- And let me tell you, he was saying your marriage in
- 00:09:50.903 --> 00:09:53.506
- The beginning has great, great difficulty.
- 00:09:53.506 --> 00:09:56.475
- Let me tell you something
- 00:09:57.043 --> 00:09:58.778
- That's true today.
- 00:09:59.211 --> 00:10:00.713
- Now unequally yoked.
- 00:10:00.713 --> 00:10:02.982
- Sometimes it works out, but i can tell you
- 00:10:02.982 --> 00:10:06.185
- Most of the time it does not
- 00:10:06.185 --> 00:10:08.554
- Because you've got two background, two cultures,
- 00:10:08.554 --> 00:10:11.357
- Two different gods entirely coming together
- 00:10:11.357 --> 00:10:14.593
- And trying to be one.
- 00:10:14.593 --> 00:10:16.228
- And that's one reason we have so many disasters, divorces
- 00:10:16.228 --> 00:10:21.133
- In which half of those here today married
- 00:10:21.133 --> 00:10:24.003
- Have been through a divorce.
- 00:10:24.003 --> 00:10:25.104
- That's our culture.
- 00:10:25.104 --> 00:10:26.072
- Because somehow, some way, we married
- 00:10:26.072 --> 00:10:29.108
- People who were going in another direction
- 00:10:29.108 --> 00:10:31.544
- From the direction that we were told and to go.
- 00:10:31.544 --> 00:10:34.714
- That is the basic bottom line truth.
- 00:10:34.714 --> 00:10:37.450
- I've experienced it in my own family,
- 00:10:37.450 --> 00:10:41.687
- Immediate family.
- 00:10:42.121 --> 00:10:44.990
- So here we go.
- 00:10:44.990 --> 00:10:46.726
- And they go down and the wedding is arranged.
- 00:10:46.726 --> 00:10:48.728
- That's what parents did.
- 00:10:48.728 --> 00:10:51.430
- And we see what happened.
- 00:10:51.430 --> 00:10:52.932
- Samson goes down to the wedding party.
- 00:10:52.932 --> 00:10:55.367
- By the way, you see the phrase here
- 00:10:55.367 --> 00:10:57.770
- Went down, went down, went down.
- 00:10:57.770 --> 00:11:00.973
- And you see the phrase not knowing, not knowing,
- 00:11:00.973 --> 00:11:03.843
- Not knowing.
- 00:11:03.843 --> 00:11:04.910
- When you go back and study this passage, you see
- 00:11:04.910 --> 00:11:07.046
- Went down, went down not knowing, not knowing.
- 00:11:07.046 --> 00:11:09.782
- And that is almost saying a symbol,
- 00:11:09.782 --> 00:11:12.451
- A a story of down, downhill.
- 00:11:12.451 --> 00:11:15.254
- When we start down, we plead ignorance.
- 00:11:15.254 --> 00:11:17.389
- We start down, we are ears. we start down.
- 00:11:17.389 --> 00:11:19.892
- We always end up lower than we thought we were going to go.
- 00:11:19.892 --> 00:11:23.763
- This is what happened to samson.
- 00:11:23.763 --> 00:11:25.264
- Know the way he killed a lion.
- 00:11:25.264 --> 00:11:27.600
- Interesting.
- 00:11:27.600 --> 00:11:29.101
- Later on, the marriage is set and it's
- 00:11:29.101 --> 00:11:31.103
- A seven day celebration
- 00:11:31.103 --> 00:11:33.105
- And they start having parties.
- 00:11:33.706 --> 00:11:35.441
- And so
- 00:11:35.441 --> 00:11:36.842
- His bride and her family, the philistines, they invited,
- 00:11:36.842 --> 00:11:40.112
- Some young men to come, 30
- 00:11:40.679 --> 00:11:42.381
- Young philistine men to come and celebrate wisdom.
- 00:11:42.381 --> 00:11:45.484
- And samson always been the life of the party,
- 00:11:45.484 --> 00:11:48.754
- Always been on top of things.
- 00:11:48.754 --> 00:11:50.122
- He says, let's have a little wager.
- 00:11:50.122 --> 00:11:53.025
- And he said, i propose a riddle.
- 00:11:53.025 --> 00:11:54.693
- If you get the riddle right,
- 00:11:54.693 --> 00:11:56.796
- I'll give each one of you a change of clothes.
- 00:11:56.796 --> 00:11:58.998
- If you don't, each one of you give me a change of clothes.
- 00:11:58.998 --> 00:12:01.834
- Pretty considerable bet.
- 00:12:01.834 --> 00:12:04.270
- And they propose a riddle that says
- 00:12:04.270 --> 00:12:06.372
- Out of the eater comes somebody to eat.
- 00:12:06.372 --> 00:12:09.275
- Out of the strong comes something sweet.
- 00:12:09.275 --> 00:12:11.510
- What am i talking about?
- 00:12:11.510 --> 00:12:13.145
- What he was talking about
- 00:12:13.145 --> 00:12:14.980
- Was that the line he had killed on the way there?
- 00:12:14.980 --> 00:12:17.817
- Much before, and now bees had got in there
- 00:12:17.817 --> 00:12:20.553
- And produced honey.
- 00:12:20.553 --> 00:12:21.821
- He was saying he's talking about a lion's carcass
- 00:12:21.821 --> 00:12:24.423
- Where there was honey.
- 00:12:24.423 --> 00:12:25.324
- How does the eater come to eat out of the strong sun?
- 00:12:26.325 --> 00:12:28.894
- Something sweet.
- 00:12:28.894 --> 00:12:30.129
- And they couldn't figure it out.
- 00:12:30.129 --> 00:12:32.731
- They didn't know what he was talking about.
- 00:12:32.731 --> 00:12:34.166
- They were going to lose.
- 00:12:34.166 --> 00:12:35.034
- So they went to his wife.
- 00:12:35.034 --> 00:12:37.136
- As she's call.
- 00:12:37.136 --> 00:12:38.003
- They're still in an engagement period.
- 00:12:38.003 --> 00:12:40.506
- Preparation for the wedding seven days
- 00:12:40.506 --> 00:12:43.142
- And says, if you don't tell us this riddle,
- 00:12:43.142 --> 00:12:46.245
- We're going to burn you up and burn your family up.
- 00:12:46.245 --> 00:12:48.614
- You see, when you get in
- 00:12:48.614 --> 00:12:50.182
- And you find a relationship in a new culture,
- 00:12:50.182 --> 00:12:52.952
- They think differently for what you might think.
- 00:12:52.952 --> 00:12:56.322
- Ladies and gentlemen, when you marry,
- 00:12:56.322 --> 00:12:58.457
- You marry your whole family.
- 00:12:58.457 --> 00:13:01.660
- If you hadn't figured that out,
- 00:13:02.294 --> 00:13:04.163
- You hadn't been married very long.
- 00:13:04.163 --> 00:13:08.567
- Have you ever tried
- 00:13:09.034 --> 00:13:10.169
- To read a historical novel out of order?
- 00:13:10.169 --> 00:13:13.873
- It would be hard, if not impossible, to understand.
- 00:13:13.873 --> 00:13:16.642
- The plot would.
- 00:13:16.642 --> 00:13:18.244
- And yet we read have studied the bible in much the same way.
- 00:13:18.244 --> 00:13:21.881
- Like a novel, the bible tells a story
- 00:13:21.881 --> 00:13:24.216
- With the beginning of middle and end.
- 00:13:24.216 --> 00:13:26.752
- And when you read in chronological order,
- 00:13:26.752 --> 00:13:28.954
- You will see history unfold in a new
- 00:13:28.954 --> 00:13:31.390

- Samson here he is caught up in this deal.
- 00:14:09.995 --> 00:14:13.198
- And finally the wife cries for seven days.
- 00:14:13.198 --> 00:14:18.270
- The marriage was to be
- 00:14:18.737 --> 00:14:19.872
- Consummated and she cries every day for seven days.
- 00:14:19.872 --> 00:14:22.441
- How do you like that in your wedding party?
- 00:14:22.441 --> 00:14:24.510
- First day she cries.
- 00:14:24.510 --> 00:14:25.678
- Oh, you don't tell me you don't love me.
- 00:14:25.678 --> 00:14:27.279
- That's that. really love these guys.
- 00:14:27.279 --> 00:14:28.914
- They want they don't want to give that girl.
- 00:14:28.914 --> 00:14:30.382
- And she cries for seven straight days.
- 00:14:30.382 --> 00:14:32.685
- Folks, listen, women, tears are deadly.
- 00:14:32.685 --> 00:14:37.690
- Had i was your husband.
- 00:14:38.190 --> 00:14:39.525
- And we share the tears.
- 00:14:39.525 --> 00:14:40.659
- Man, it's all over. you just won.
- 00:14:40.659 --> 00:14:42.461
- But you may have lost by wasting your tears.
- 00:14:42.461 --> 00:14:45.064
- But she cried every day.
- 00:14:45.064 --> 00:14:46.665
- And there finally, sam, that says, okay, i got it.
- 00:14:46.665 --> 00:14:49.668
- Here's the secret, he told her,
- 00:14:49.668 --> 00:14:51.403
- And she went and told these 30 men that they won the bet.
- 00:14:51.403 --> 00:14:54.773
- And samson said immediately, i don't know exactly what this
- 00:14:54.773 --> 00:14:58.110
- Verse means,
- 00:14:58.110 --> 00:14:59.111
- But he said, if you hadn't plowed with my heifer,
- 00:14:59.111 --> 00:15:02.348
- You would never have guessed.
- 00:15:02.348 --> 00:15:03.882
- And. and that could have a lot interpretation.
- 00:15:04.850 --> 00:15:09.421
- But it means that my wife to be sold out to you.
- 00:15:09.421 --> 00:15:14.293
- And then he goes
- 00:15:14.693 --> 00:15:16.128
- And he gets violently angry,
- 00:15:16.128 --> 00:15:19.098
- And he does an amazing thing.
- 00:15:19.732 --> 00:15:22.234
- He goes and catches
- 00:15:22.234 --> 00:15:24.269
- 300 fox, 300 foxes.
- 00:15:24.269 --> 00:15:28.340
- And this is harvest time in the philistine world.
- 00:15:28.340 --> 00:15:31.477
- They got all their crops out there, all the wheat.
- 00:15:31.477 --> 00:15:34.246
- And he ties their tails together,
- 00:15:34.246 --> 00:15:36.982
- And he puts a torch between the foxes tail and releases
- 00:15:36.982 --> 00:15:41.086
- 300 fox with torches on their tail,
- 00:15:41.086 --> 00:15:44.623
- All the way through the harvest of the philistines.
- 00:15:44.623 --> 00:15:47.393
- It destroys the wheat, the vegetables,
- 00:15:47.393 --> 00:15:49.561
- Everything they had.
- 00:15:49.561 --> 00:15:51.663
- By the way, that's the first illustration
- 00:15:51.663 --> 00:15:53.966
- Of tail lights in all of history. but.
- 00:15:53.966 --> 00:15:57.403
- This obliterated the philistine harvest.
- 00:15:58.237 --> 00:16:01.540
- And they said, who in the world has done this?
- 00:16:02.441 --> 00:16:04.943
- And they said, look, it's been samson
- 00:16:05.744 --> 00:16:07.713
- Because of what happened there in the deal.
- 00:16:07.713 --> 00:16:10.983
- And and samson in the meantime,
- 00:16:10.983 --> 00:16:13.252
- Before this had gone back, after he got over his anger,
- 00:16:13.252 --> 00:16:16.088
- He didn't consummate his marriage.
- 00:16:16.088 --> 00:16:17.790
- He went back and tried to get back with his wife.
- 00:16:17.790 --> 00:16:21.393
- And her daddy said, you know, i thought you were through
- 00:16:21.393 --> 00:16:24.329
- With her. and the marriage wasn't consummated.
- 00:16:24.329 --> 00:16:26.799
- She now is married to the best man.
- 00:16:26.799 --> 00:16:30.069
- And this is what led samson did this deed.
- 00:16:30.936 --> 00:16:34.473
- But when samson went back later to try to get a relationship
- 00:16:34.473 --> 00:16:37.810
- With wife, he took with him a young goat to give to her.
- 00:16:37.810 --> 00:16:41.947
- Now, guys, are you looking for
- 00:16:42.548 --> 00:16:43.715
- Creative gifts?
- 00:16:43.715 --> 00:16:46.985
- I'm bringing you a goat, honey.
- 00:16:46.985 --> 00:16:49.721
- In the bible, it talks.
- 00:16:50.222 --> 00:16:51.623
- You know?
- 00:16:51.623 --> 00:16:52.858
- And so that didn't work. and he.
- 00:16:52.858 --> 00:16:55.094
- He kills another handful of them and they get angry.
- 00:16:55.094 --> 00:16:59.031
- Finally picks up the jawbone of a donkey and slays a
- 00:16:59.031 --> 00:17:02.801
- Thousand of them.
- 00:17:02.801 --> 00:17:03.769
- So that's what happened with his marriage.
- 00:17:04.636 --> 00:17:07.206
- And then they ended up burning up his wife.
- 00:17:07.206 --> 00:17:10.008
- Never consummated in all of her family
- 00:17:10.008 --> 00:17:12.277
- Because they got the philistines.
- 00:17:12.277 --> 00:17:14.046
- It's such a tough situation.
- 00:17:14.046 --> 00:17:15.681
- What a story.
- 00:17:15.681 --> 00:17:18.784
- Believe it or not, that a lot of people
- 00:17:18.784 --> 00:17:20.486
- In contemporary marriages i can tell stories
- 00:17:20.486 --> 00:17:23.188
- Almost as tragic and disastrous as that.
- 00:17:23.188 --> 00:17:26.692
- The biggest a single ever made outside
- 00:17:27.526 --> 00:17:29.895
- Receiving christ is when you say,
- 00:17:29.895 --> 00:17:33.098
- Do it.
- 00:17:33.298 --> 00:17:35.734
- We see what happened to samson.
- 00:17:35.734 --> 00:17:39.037
- We see how this whole period of his life
- 00:17:39.037 --> 00:17:41.240
- Was governed by this.
- 00:17:41.240 --> 00:17:43.976
- And now we see what else happened to sanju
- 00:17:43.976 --> 00:17:46.111
- Before we do that,
- 00:17:46.111 --> 00:17:47.546
- I want you to look at the 20th verse of chapter 15.
- 00:17:47.546 --> 00:17:52.217
- It says so.
- 00:17:52.551 --> 00:17:53.752
- He judged israel 20 years in the days of the philistines.
- 00:17:53.752 --> 00:17:57.789
- Now i hold on to that verse,
- 00:17:57.789 --> 00:18:01.193
- Because the most amazing
- 00:18:01.727 --> 00:18:03.529
- Thing is that samson is listed in hebrews chapter 11
- 00:18:03.529 --> 00:18:09.368
- Among the heroes of faith
- 00:18:09.368 --> 00:18:12.604
- Awards.
- 00:18:12.838 --> 00:18:13.772
- Here's a who's who of god's kingdom family
- 00:18:13.772 --> 00:18:16.108
- On this earth, and samson is on the list.
- 00:18:16.108 --> 00:18:19.344
- How in the world did he get on god's list?
- 00:18:19.344 --> 00:18:22.781
- Only after i have is this 20th verse 20.
- 00:18:23.615 --> 00:18:26.185
- For 20 years he ruled.
- 00:18:26.185 --> 00:18:28.654
- He helped his people, restored his people in israel.
- 00:18:28.654 --> 00:18:31.990
- That's the only merit i can see in this guy.
- 00:18:31.990 --> 00:18:35.327
- But that's enough to guide him into the lord's hall of fame.
- 00:18:35.327 --> 00:18:38.463
- But then we see samson in the relationship
- 00:18:39.331 --> 00:18:42.100
- With his mom and relationship with his wife,
- 00:18:42.100 --> 00:18:44.303
- And then we see his relationship with a harlot.
- 00:18:44.303 --> 00:18:47.739
- 20 years had gone by.
- 00:18:47.739 --> 00:18:49.775
- Now, samson, chapter 16 went to gaza
- 00:18:49.775 --> 00:18:53.745
- And saw a harlot there and went into her.
- 00:18:53.745 --> 00:18:56.848
- And this is when it says, and
- 00:18:57.482 --> 00:18:59.251
- When he was told to the gate saying, samson has come here.
- 00:18:59.251 --> 00:19:03.789
- They surrounded the place and lay in wait for him all night.
- 00:19:03.789 --> 00:19:07.793
- And the gate of the city you see the philistines, you
- 00:19:07.793 --> 00:19:10.562
- Samson, benny, you himself.
- 00:19:10.562 --> 00:19:13.532
- He went back into sensuality.
- 00:19:13.532 --> 00:19:15.100
- He was still addicted.
- 00:19:15.100 --> 00:19:16.201
- He thought he'd won the battle 20 years.
- 00:19:16.201 --> 00:19:19.338
- The philistines knew their man.
- 00:19:19.338 --> 00:19:22.107
- They knew their man.
- 00:19:22.574 --> 00:19:25.077
- Then we know this illustration.
- 00:19:25.077 --> 00:19:26.745
- When, in order to get out of the city,
- 00:19:26.745 --> 00:19:28.413
- They thought they had him.
- 00:19:28.413 --> 00:19:29.348
- He went and tore down the gates.
- 00:19:29.348 --> 00:19:30.649
- They went to the top of the mountain
- 00:19:30.649 --> 00:19:31.984
- And held the gates of the city above his head.
- 00:19:31.984 --> 00:19:33.885
- You see, he was a super charged
- 00:19:33.885 --> 00:19:36.722
- Man with great, great supernatural strength.
- 00:19:36.722 --> 00:19:41.260
- And then after this,
- 00:19:41.727 --> 00:19:43.262
- We see the false relationship he had.
- 00:19:43.262 --> 00:19:45.964
- And it was with delilah.
- 00:19:46.498 --> 00:19:48.900
- Look at chapter 16, verse four, right to this.
- 00:19:48.900 --> 00:19:52.671
- He came about.
- 00:19:52.671 --> 00:19:53.572
- He loved a woman in the valley of surik,
- 00:19:53.572 --> 00:19:56.041
- Whose name was delilah, and the lords of listening
- 00:19:56.041 --> 00:19:59.645
- Came to her and said to her, entice him
- 00:19:59.645 --> 00:20:03.215
- That word entice for such.
- 00:20:03.782 --> 00:20:06.652
- It's the second time we've seen it here.
- 00:20:06.652 --> 00:20:09.388
- They told his wife to entice him
- 00:20:09.388 --> 00:20:11.023
- To get him to turn him in.
- 00:20:11.023 --> 00:20:12.124
- We see delilah do entice them, you say.
- 00:20:12.124 --> 00:20:14.626
- What a dumb, stupid man he is.
- 00:20:14.626 --> 00:20:17.162
- He gets conned by all these women time and time again.
- 00:20:17.162 --> 00:20:20.766
- Hold on, guys,
- 00:20:20.766 --> 00:20:23.602
- Hold on.
- 00:20:23.869 --> 00:20:26.004
- Satan sees our weaknesses and plays to our weaknesses.
- 00:20:26.004 --> 00:20:30.642
- And when it worked this time with his wife.
- 00:20:30.642 --> 00:20:33.812
- And that situation, it worked.
- 00:20:33.812 --> 00:20:35.013
- This time was a harlot.
- 00:20:35.013 --> 00:20:36.548
- Now we have somebody who is beautiful, magnificent,
- 00:20:36.548 --> 00:20:41.720
- Charming, alluring, charismatic,
- 00:20:41.720 --> 00:20:44.456
- And she's an entrepreneur on the side.
- 00:20:44.456 --> 00:20:47.225
- She cut a deal with the philistines.
- 00:20:47.993 --> 00:20:49.594
- I'll find out the source of this strength.
- 00:20:49.594 --> 00:20:53.398
- But you got to pay me $5,000 a piece every one of you.
- 00:20:53.398 --> 00:20:57.569
- And the contract was made.
- 00:20:57.569 --> 00:21:00.872
- So delilah, with all of her
- 00:21:00.872 --> 00:21:03.075
- Charms, begins to entice him.
- 00:21:03.075 --> 00:21:06.244
- Delilah said to samson,
- 00:21:06.745 --> 00:21:08.080
- Please tell me
- 00:21:08.080 --> 00:21:09.114
- Where your great strength is and how you may be
- 00:21:09.114 --> 00:21:11.350
- Bound to afflict.
- 00:21:11.350 --> 00:21:12.451
- You know where's the source of your strength?
- 00:21:12.451 --> 00:21:14.720
- And so samuel says, well, it's
- 00:21:14.720 --> 00:21:16.655
- It's new cords and philistines upon you, samson.
- 00:21:16.655 --> 00:21:20.025
- He broke those cords. no, it's new robe.
- 00:21:20.025 --> 00:21:22.694
- Foolishly, they're on you.
- 00:21:22.694 --> 00:21:23.762
- He broke those new ropes.
- 00:21:23.762 --> 00:21:25.564
- And then he goes, he said, well,
- 00:21:25.564 --> 00:21:27.432
- If you plant my hair a certain way
- 00:21:27.432 --> 00:21:29.334
- And put a pin on it,
- 00:21:29.334 --> 00:21:30.435
- And foolish things are coming, and he took the pan out
- 00:21:30.435 --> 00:21:32.971
- And he was handling them until finally delilah said,
- 00:21:32.971 --> 00:21:36.174
- You don't love me.
- 00:21:36.174 --> 00:21:37.008
- You don't trust me. i wonder why.
- 00:21:37.008 --> 00:21:40.512
- And so you don't really care about me.
- 00:21:41.279 --> 00:21:43.348
- And then he told her the secrets of his heart.
- 00:21:43.348 --> 00:21:47.953
- Ladies and gentlemen,
- 00:21:48.453 --> 00:21:50.522
- When you know god and know christ, there's
- 00:21:50.522 --> 00:21:52.257
- Some secrets in your heart with god and with him
- 00:21:52.257 --> 00:21:56.294
- That you don't share with anybody.
- 00:21:56.294 --> 00:21:59.631
- When somebody shares with you
- 00:21:59.631 --> 00:22:02.434
- The secrets of their life, that's holy ground.
- 00:22:02.434 --> 00:22:04.736
- But they're secrets we have with god.
- 00:22:04.736 --> 00:22:06.638
- That's between you and god and between myself and god.
- 00:22:06.638 --> 00:22:09.574
- You share with anybody.
- 00:22:09.574 --> 00:22:10.809
- Samson just opened up all of it, and she knew it.
- 00:22:10.809 --> 00:22:15.781
- He bought her heart and and said,
- 00:22:15.781 --> 00:22:17.282
- The secret is in his hair.
- 00:22:17.282 --> 00:22:18.884
- And so she put him to sleep in her lap, called a man in,
- 00:22:18.884 --> 00:22:22.287
- And the man shaved his head
- 00:22:22.287 --> 00:22:23.722
- While he was asleep. and that's the infamous
- 00:22:23.722 --> 00:22:26.358
- Haircut, the devil's barbershop.
- 00:22:26.358 --> 00:22:31.129
- Then when he awakened,
- 00:22:31.596 --> 00:22:33.799
- One of the saddest verses
- 00:22:33.799 --> 00:22:36.435
- You can read in the bible.
- 00:22:36.435 --> 00:22:39.871
- The philistines up on you, samson,
- 00:22:39.871 --> 00:22:41.640
- Verse 20, chapter 16.
- 00:22:41.640 --> 00:22:44.643
- And he awoke from sleep and said, i will go out
- 00:22:44.643 --> 00:22:46.945
- At other times, and will shake myself.
- 00:22:46.945 --> 00:22:49.648
- But he did not know that the lord had departed from him.
- 00:22:49.648 --> 00:22:54.286
- If the lord departed from you,
- 00:22:54.886 --> 00:22:57.889
- Would you know it?
- 00:22:58.323 --> 00:22:59.825
- You see, samson had had grace, right?
- 00:22:59.825 --> 00:23:03.361
- And grace and grace and grace and grace.
- 00:23:03.361 --> 00:23:08.500
- He said, boy, it's just all grace.
- 00:23:08.500 --> 00:23:11.236
- You can do anything, and god will always forgive.
- 00:23:11.236 --> 00:23:13.939
- There will be no punishment.
- 00:23:13.939 --> 00:23:15.807
- Look, if you would add a verse in ecclesiastes,
- 00:23:15.807 --> 00:23:18.710
- It says in ecclesiastes 811, because a sentence
- 00:23:19.678 --> 00:23:24.115
- Against an evil deed is not executed quickly.
- 00:23:24.115 --> 00:23:29.020
- Therefore the hearts of the sons of men
- 00:23:29.020 --> 00:23:31.656
- Among them are given fully to do evil.
- 00:23:31.656 --> 00:23:34.693
- In other words,
- 00:23:34.693 --> 00:23:35.894
- Because judgment does not come quickly when you and i sin,
- 00:23:35.894 --> 00:23:38.864
- We think, boy, they're just grazed, grazed graves.
- 00:23:38.864 --> 00:23:41.733
- There will be no judgment.
- 00:23:41.733 --> 00:23:43.768
- But you
- 00:23:44.002 --> 00:23:44.803
- Read the philistines took samson.
- 00:23:44.803 --> 00:23:47.172
- You know, the first thing they did.
- 00:23:47.172 --> 00:23:50.041
- They gouged his eyes out.
- 00:23:50.041 --> 00:23:54.246
- They gouged his eyes out.
- 00:23:54.813 --> 00:23:58.149
- Bound.
- 00:23:58.350 --> 00:23:59.184
- Blind samson.
- 00:23:59.184 --> 00:24:02.220
- The lust, the eye, the lust, the flesh, the pride of life.
- 00:24:02.220 --> 00:24:05.891
- Not for samson.
- 00:24:06.258 --> 00:24:08.460
- A job's his eyes out now.
- 00:24:08.460 --> 00:24:11.363
- He's a grinder.
- 00:24:11.363 --> 00:24:12.264
- He is pulling around, grinding the meal.
- 00:24:12.264 --> 00:24:15.400
- There he is in prison.
- 00:24:15.400 --> 00:24:16.935
- He is blind.
- 00:24:16.935 --> 00:24:19.237
- And then we read.
- 00:24:19.237 --> 00:24:23.074
- A tremendous verse,
- 00:24:23.542 --> 00:24:26.211
- A fabulous verse, one of the
- 00:24:26.211 --> 00:24:27.979
- Also great verses in the bible.
- 00:24:27.979 --> 00:24:30.482
- The other verse was tragic.
- 00:24:30.482 --> 00:24:31.783
- He did not know
- 00:24:31.783 --> 00:24:32.884
- The lord and departed, but this is a powerful verse.
- 00:24:32.884 --> 00:24:36.454
- It says
- 00:24:36.688 --> 00:24:38.423
- He's blind, he's in prison.
- 00:24:38.423 --> 00:24:39.925
- But verse 22, chapter 16 says,
- 00:24:39.925 --> 00:24:43.595
- The hair of his head
- 00:24:44.062 --> 00:24:47.132
- Begin to grow again.
- 00:24:47.132 --> 00:24:50.535
- The hair of his head begin to grow.
- 00:24:51.303 --> 00:24:54.039
- Now samson
- 00:24:54.339 --> 00:24:56.107
- Had turned to god. sentence.
- 00:24:56.107 --> 00:24:57.542
- So i'm sure the trash in his life.
- 00:24:57.542 --> 00:25:00.979
- Samson saw the poor choices he's made,
- 00:25:00.979 --> 00:25:04.316
- But his hair begins to grow.
- 00:25:04.316 --> 00:25:05.884
- The secret of his strength, you see.
- 00:25:05.884 --> 00:25:07.953
- Gradually he moved away from being eyes
- 00:25:07.953 --> 00:25:10.589
- Dead, bodies strong drink, and now his hair.
- 00:25:10.589 --> 00:25:13.224
- But now his hair begins to grow.
- 00:25:13.224 --> 00:25:15.293
- He begins to get back in relationship with god.
- 00:25:15.293 --> 00:25:17.462
- And you know the story.
- 00:25:17.462 --> 00:25:19.364
- They took him there to the temple of dagon
- 00:25:19.364 --> 00:25:22.500
- And they were worshiping.
- 00:25:22.500 --> 00:25:23.602
- They said samson entertained us.
- 00:25:23.602 --> 00:25:25.203
- And here's this blind brute.
- 00:25:25.203 --> 00:25:27.572
- They're entertaining them.
- 00:25:27.572 --> 00:25:29.107
- The one who had killed and impressed them for 20 years.
- 00:25:29.107 --> 00:25:32.277
- And they're celebrating.
- 00:25:32.277 --> 00:25:33.778
- And they're saying,
- 00:25:33.778 --> 00:25:34.980
- The god of dagon is so much better than the god of israel.
- 00:25:34.980 --> 00:25:38.984
- Listen, when a son or daughter of the lord jesus
- 00:25:38.984 --> 00:25:43.021
- Christ falls, the secular world applauds and says,
- 00:25:43.021 --> 00:25:47.726
- They're just like everybody else.
- 00:25:47.726 --> 00:25:50.595
- Dagon had won a victory,
- 00:25:50.595 --> 00:25:53.398
- But then samson has a lad to
- 00:25:53.999 --> 00:25:56.101
- Lead him over to the pillars of that pagan place of worship.
- 00:25:56.101 --> 00:25:59.804
- He says, let me feel them.
- 00:25:59.804 --> 00:26:01.473
- And then he prayed to god
- 00:26:01.473 --> 00:26:03.041
- Only the second time, samson brave in these four chapters.
- 00:26:03.041 --> 00:26:06.244
- And he asked the lord to remember him.
- 00:26:06.244 --> 00:26:08.079
- His hair had grown back, his strength had come back,
- 00:26:08.079 --> 00:26:10.715
- And he took,
- 00:26:10.715 --> 00:26:11.983
- And he crushed those pillows, and the whole temple fell down.
