The Person That God Anoints by Greg Holmes, D.MIN – Director of Missions serving 17 churches
SAMUEL IS A PIVOTAL FIGURE in one of the most critical historical periods in the rise of Israel to national status, as the four-hundred-year rule of the judges swiftly transitions from a theocracy to a monarchy. He is simultaneously priest, prophet, and judge. His life and mission are inextricably interwoven with the lives and missions of both Saul and David, Israel’s first two kings, during the 11 th and 10 th C. B.C. Samuel is also human, with strong feelings associated with his relationships with both men. Additionally, he is torn by his feelings of responsibility before God.
