Subject: Medium summons Samuel? |
Bible Note: Thank you csmith.. You bring up a good point to discuss. Was the medium simply a tool God used to deliver the message? Possibly, but that raises some other questions. 1. Earlier verses and even Samuel comments that God was silent to Saul due to his disobedience. Saul sought the medium because God would not speak to him (through any of the prophets). If God had wanted to speak to Saul, He could have spoke to him through a prophet, not a medium. 2. Saul did not say to Saul the God was speaking to him, but reaffirmed that God was not going to talk to Saul, but Samuel knew Saul's fate and shared it with him. Thanks for your thoughts. God bless |
