The Bible says it was Samuel. What gets me is, “when she saw Samuel, she screamed.” Maybe God actually sent Samuel to tell him what was going to happen, because Samuel didn’t give him advice, only the judgement of God upon him and his kingdom. She may have been doing her thing by pretending to see Samuel and then he actually showed up. They only pretended to speak to the dead, not actually bring up their spirit. That’s why I think she screamed when she saw Samuel actually there. It’s just something we could find out one day.

I think the same too, Bible clearly says Samuel said this, Samuel said that….if it was a demon, somewhere in the entire Bible God would have revealed that it was a demon, He did not….imagine this ….Saul was a directly chosen king by God, he needed help , Samuel was dead, because of his disobedience God did not respond to Saul….God is not going abandon Saul for that disobedience completely, correct ? Consequences of his disobedience has already began by making David king, right ? I strongly believe it was Samuel came up to speak to Saul which God allowed. Amen !!

Agreed. Scripture says directly that it was Samuel. The witch didn't even realize it was King Saul asking her to bring up someone _until after_ Samuel responded. She screamed when she saw Samuel. She saw a divine being (an elohim) coming up. Hades or the underworld had a place of torment for the wicked and also a place of rest for the righteous as we see in the story of the Rich Man and Lazarus and Father Abraham. When we die in this age we either go to rest or into torment. (After Jesus' crucifixion he went to Hades to preach/proclaim to disobedient departed spirits from the time of Noah; they were still there and conscious, able to be preached to. Jesus also 'led the captives free' which I believe is referring to the righteous like Father Abraham and Lazarus.) Samuel very well could have come up from his rest and did according to scripture.

Samuel was dead, the dead know nothing. Saul was talking with a demon. And this supposed Samuel did lie to Saul. He had the audacity to predict that after death, Samuel, a faithful servant of God and Saul, a man clearly forsaken by God for his stubbornness and unfaithfulness, would be in the same place among the redeemed. That is utter nonsense and it is error. God will never use as a tool what He has condemned as sin. Necromancy was a capital offense. There IS no way God used a witch to communicate with Saul. The bible clearly tells us there were only 4 ways God communicated with His people; prophets, dreams, visions and the THUMMIM. Finally, the supposed spirit of Samuel would have descended from heaven, not the earth.

Thank goodness I'm a Bible believing Christian (Authorised King James Version only) , not affiliated with any church. Therefore whenever confusing doctrine or views that conflict, are presented, I turn to the Scripture. Scipture says it was *_Samuel_* who spoke to Saul. Therefore it was Samuel. Only YHWH has the knowledge to know Saul would die the next day - no demon pretender would know that. Thus YHWH allowed Samuel to come up from Sheol (not hell, he was in a different part of Sheol, in the bosom of Abraham), to give Saul his verdict. The witch necromancer was obviously petrified, because she had in fact never expected to actually see Samuel appear. Always read the Scripture as it states plainly, and do not look for hidden meanings, when the truth is plain to see.

Totally agree. Read the text plainly. It says Samuel spoke and the witch of endor was afraid. Saul had to perceive the meaning before Samuel actually stood before him because Saul didn't have God's spirit to know. And Samuel came up from the grave...as Jesus mentions to the thief on the cross would be with him in paradise, which also confirms Jesus having first descended before he ascended Ephesians 4:8-10. This is where Samuel was brought up from.

Yes read the Bible, the Bible does not lie. But this video proves that without the correct lenses, it can be easily misinterpreted. We view the Holy Scriptures through the lens of tradition, a tradition that was passed down to us by the Apostles who had very special insight into interpreting scripture due to the personal and direct relationship they held with our Lord when he walked the Earth in flesh . You must remember, how much of the early church practices of the Apostles and other disciples, (who were bishops and priests, disproving the whole nO pRiEsThOoD nonsense) were never written or weren’t included in the Bible when the Bible was put together in three sections (The Old Testament, The Four Gospels, The Book of Apostles). This is why I turned away from Protestantism. There are many falsehoods, misinterpretations, and even outright lies that come from Protestants and Catholics. The only Church I have found that is not in conflict with the Prophets, Christ, the Apostles, and the ancient Church Fathers and Mothers is theeEastern Orthodox Church. That is why I believe it to be the true church Christ established with the Apostles.

And that this is bc they can’t actually get in contact with the real person.

The Bible says the medium called up Samuel from the dead so I believe that is what happened. That is also why I believe there are real fortune tellers that can tell the future as much as GOD will allow. However The Bible also tells us it is a sin to do so. Why would The Bible call it a sin if it wasn’t real? I understand that sometimes just believing in something that isn’t real, like any other god, is a sin but The Bible goes into detail about what Samuel told Saul. Samuel told Saul, through the medium, that he and his sons would be killed in battle the next day and that is exactly what happened. How can it get more real than that?..

I just went back and read the section on Samuel that you are discussing. Your reasons, or arguments to say 1: that the witch tricked him or 2: That the apparition of Samuel was in fact a Demon or a familiar spirit do not follow. Before I go into further, I am not at all condoning the practice of necromancy, or mediumship or any other daemonic practice. However, I have seen many other opinions, and I do believe personally, that this was indeed Samuel, allowed by God in an absolute one off situation. Firstly, what did the witch have to gain? When you read the Bible, you can see she’s clearly terrified even before she knew it was Saul! When she found out it was Saul she was even more terrified. But what got me the most I suppose was that her terror in actually seeing Samuel. The Bible is clear on that particular part. I believe that that rules out that the witch was trying to trick him, she was too afraid for Her own life, and horrified when she saw Samuel. Secondly, as for the argument of the Apparition being a Demon, This is certainly possible, but it does not come across as probable. Note that the apparition of SamuelTold the complete truth too Saul, He informed Saul as what he had done to earn the Lord’s Dis favour and then informed Saul at the following day he was to die. Why would a demon do that? If it really was a Demon, he would be more likely to say something along the lines of “Go on out there tomorrow you will be fine, and you will be on the throne by midnight” or something along those lines. Demons do not tell the truth, or I suppose they called when it suits their purposes but in this case, they would have no purpose to suit. I personally believe that the Lord allowed as an absolutely worn off for Samuel to come back and to tell Saul what he wanted to know. Now having said that, there are still arguments raging over this and again I don’t excuse mediumship or any of that nonsense, because I do know that going to a medium opens up a whole bunch of doors to Demons and yes they are familiar spirits. But I believe that in the case of Samuel it was different. The Lord has his reasons for everything he does, now I could be wrong, but when you see the evidence in the Bible, at no time did we see even a hint that it was a Demon. The author of second Samuel has told the story like it was. God bless brother

I think your interpretation is incorrect. Ecclesiastes is taken out of context. Ecc. 9:5 is not a definitive statement about the afterlife but represents a specific application of the book's entire theme is that man's wisdom and earthly pursuits (without God) ultimately amount to nothing. If anything, the statement that the "dead know nothing" represents Solomon's nihilistic view that after death there is nothing, so you might as well live it up on Earth now. Next, in 1 Samuel, the medium is actually shocked that Samuel shows up - rather than the familiar spirit she was, er, familiar with. Finally, verse 16 onwards actually refer to the dead man as Samuel and not a deceiving spirit - unlike the example from Kings you cite to where the text specifically reveals that it was a deceiving spirit.

The woman said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!”' She summons her spirit and is surprised when the real Samuel arrives and from that deduces the only person who could make this happen is Saul. If you act like this verse doesn't exist, other explanations make sense. But it does. ANd since it does, the other explanations do not make sense. The Witch of Endor intended to summon a familiar spirit to pretend to be Samuel, and God made sure the spirit of the real Samuel showed up.

The Bible itself says it was Samuel. It says “ then Saul said to Samuel” “ then Samuel said” this is not that they were tricked into thinking it was Samuel it is the Bible itself says in the narrative “ then Saul said to Samuel” this is not the witch, Saul and Samuel thinking anything it was actually the Bible narrative saying it was Samuel. Then Saul said to Samuel. Then Samuel said.... the narrative said it was him so who cares who was tricked or not tricked it is the Bible itself said that..... Saul said to Samuel.

This remark comes from a person who claims that when Messiah died, His flesh was dead and Yeshua had no consciences. If that is the case then Messiah misspoke when He said destroy this temple and in three days "I", He did not say the Father, nor did He say Elohim will raise Him up, He said "I" will raise this temple up. How can Messiah raise Himself if there is no conscience in Him? Messiah said to the Father Into thy hand I commit my Spirit. Stephen utter these same words. To claim that Messiah was un-consciences in the grave is Heresy and distortion of Elohim word. Look what Peter said, For Messiah also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust. in order that He might bring us to Elohim, having been put to death in the Flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also He WENT and made proclamation to the Spirits now in prison who were once disobedient when the patience of Elohim kept waiting in the days of Noah, during the construction of the ark. So did Messiah go to the prison and wake up the death just to make a proclamation, or were the spirit of the death conscience? You see what really is going on in the Messianic movement is a secret attempt to discourage the Christians from holding a believe that has nothing to do with salvation, all this movement is concern with knowledge, nothing more, be careful my friends to what there heretics are preaching. Be careful with those who claim that Yeshua is Torah. Yeshua is the voice for Elohim when He walk on earth. Yeshua was before Torah was ever mention.

Torments holds all the demon general officers, the really bad ones. They will be unleashed during the tribulation. The thief on the cross absolutely was in paradise with Jesus as they were both sent directly. Jesus proclaimed His victory over sin. This is what Jesus was doing for 3 days. So, actually, he did go there with Him literally the same day regardless of comma placement. He was then resurrected and returned in resurrection body. This time to proclaim His resurrection to all who believed and those who did not. Some 5k+ witnesses saw Him in this form as He ascended into Heaven, taking all OT believers with Him. Paradise is currently empty as a result.

Help me to understand how the resurrection works without a soul? How can someone resurrect if they do not have a soul? Example, someone's body has been disintegrated in acid and is no more. How will that person resurrect if they do not have a soul to be put into a new body? The whole notion of resurrection requires some form of self-retention after death that will be put in a new body and be judged at the resurrection. Or else millions of completely destroyed, scattered, non-existent bones of humans won't be able to resurrect for judgement. So please, explain that? Secondly, in the book "dictionary of early Christian beliefs" by David W. Bercot, it has all the ante-Nicene church leaders' sayings on all sorts of topics compiled into one dictionary. In there, I have not seen any early Christian deny that souls exist, they all agree they are not immortal and can be killed again but they all agree that the soul is a spiritual substance of a person that waits for the resurrection via Hades (a very Greek ideology).

The old testament is written from an observers perspective. The writers documented what they observed and could (and have been) deceived. Witches and fortune tellers get their information from demons that definitely do not know the future, but what happens can absolutely be observed as that. When you receive your fortune from a teller, the demon either gives the bad vision to the teller or can mimic the spirit of someone who died; their appearance, voice, personality, etc. The demon, now allowed to be a part of the person's life, follows them and curses them by making the vision reality. The only thing that can prevent this future is the hand of God, which was definitely not in Saul's favor before nor after the incident.

A sign of a holy prophet is - what they proclaim with regard to future events, comes to pass... Remember what Peter, James, and John witnessed at the "mount of transfiguration"?

However, it mentioned the word (spirits), because it's talking about a future state of being for The Jews! Remember Jesus own words, he said flesh can not enter Heaven! Therefore, in this case, The 144,000, chosen Jews, they are chosen for the purpose of joining Jesus in Heaven! Therefore, they must become spirit beings in order to live in Heaven! But until that time, they will remain in a state of death! Experiencing nothing, as scripture says!

Third, why was the response almost verbatim to what Samuel said to Saul why he was alive and indeed prophetic. His sons were killed and the Phillistines would have in fact killed him in a terrible manor. The Lord's will was turning over the kingdom to David, why tell Saul the truth? I feel it was the last rejection, of many, in a unique manor that so many other biblical figures in the old Testament experienced. Whatever happened, the moral of the story is to repent and be obedient.

Although I disagree with the conclusion that this spirit was a demon pretending to be Samuel, the whole story points to a different conclusion based on two points. The woman cries out in a loud voice when she sees Samuel. This is quite unexpected for her. Also, in the end, we see pity and empathy for Saul upon the spirit's words from her. She prepares a meal for him and together with the servants finally gets him to eat. If her intentions were based upon a known deception by Saul in disguise, and her anger against the king for her abolishment, why would there be these actions. I know there is the possibility for the conclusions drawn by the video but the whole account seems to point towards real surprise upon seeing an actual spirit and the woman's actions after the experience. I would be happy to hear a rebuttal or how my own conclusions are wrong. One other point, if the woman came to the realization that this was truly Samuel, it would make sense that she drew the conclusion that this was the king. Who else would disturb Samuel from his sleep? But it is not entirely clear to me how she would have recognized Saul in the first place? I would like to add that I do enjoy the scriptural references used to back your reasoning and without the details I've pointed out this would seem to be the proper conclusion. And I really enjoyed learning about the ventriloquist connection.

I think, in a way, the thought process for this video came at a cost of "proving" previous convictions from another teaching; influenced reasoning based upon one's own translation of understanding. If this is true then your conclusions are influenced by how you've interpreted the word rather than a full reading of the whole text. I totally agree with the interpretation of scripture being based upon scripture interpreting scripture being the best and if scripture gives us an understanding that we might be wrong, we should examine this and ask the Spirit for discernment rather than "dig in" with a possible incorrect line of reasoning. I have had to swallow my own pride and allow the word to show me when I'm wrong rather than cling to incorrect reasoning. As a teacher, you are well aware of the responsibility of invalid or irresponsible interpretation which is proven as correct by the use of scripture chosen carefully to validate a claim even though it may be wrong. There is condemnation for this. If you have done this then you should deeply analyze all of your reasoning for your conclusion. Or at least give the alternate possibility its due recognition. We are all at different levels of knowledge and wait for His perfection. And let me be clear - I am not accusing you of false interpretation or purposefully misleading anyone. It just seems a possibility of incorrect reasoning in this case.

@@Rueuhy Wow, your comment is full of verbose. Such a lot of meandering waffle. A demon cannot summon up the dead. God would not allow it. Only Jesus has the power to raise the dead, to awaken sleeping spirits. Demons are deceptive, they have no truth in the them, the devil is a liar and the father of all liars. Saul was corrupt through and through and God had turned away from him, hence he was in the den of demons when he approached the witch of Endor.

She screams out because she realizes, she's in the presence of the king who could have her killed for practicing witchcraft. Read the rest of the verses. The woman's a witch, the last thing she wants is the King of Israel dying in her cave with his henchmen as witnesses. She feeds them out of self-preservation-survival mode. This woman is a witch. She is condemned of God and there is no way God would use her as an instrument to summon one of His prophets. That is absurd.

Also, v15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” -- Seems to be consistent w/ Isa 14:9 Sheol below is stirred up about you, ready to meet you when you arrive. It rouses the spirits of the dead for you. It also seems that explaining away the plain reading of the passage will most likely lead to doubt and frustration about the veracity & integrity of Holy Writ.

Possibly souls who are dead and not with the Lord can be called up. Saul did join Samuel in the grave as prophesied. Dead spirits know nothing BUT what does a dead Prophet know?

Saul did kill himself but only just before he was about to be captured and or killed and most likely in a much more torturous way.

I think God could have chosen to allow it to pronounce His answer to reprobate, prophet hounding Saul, with His judgement against him & his impending demise, for his pride and rebellion against God. I haven't yet done a study about the position of living souls awaiting the judgement. The only other scripture I can think of shows those souls being self aware. Luke 16:23 Lazarus and the Rich Man. Those 2 pre Jesus's redemption/resurrection souls are already lodged in Hades and Abraham's Bosom. Upon asking to go back to tell his brothers God didn't reply, it is not possible or never allowed, He replied "if they didn't believe Moses and the Prophets neither will they believe you. Do you know of any other examples? Thank you for your studies and for being a 2 Tim 2:15 man of God.

Now if The medium had been bringing up Samuel as a spirit being as opposed to it been a demon, bearing in mind that the bible says that “the dead are conscious of nothing at all” then is it reasonable that a person would become unclean by a medium if they were simply doing us a service? My friend the bible is like a jigsaw puzzle and you shouldn’t assume anything unless you have joined all its pieces together.

Judges 9:8-15 The trees went forth on a time to anoint a king over them; and they said unto the olive tree, Reign thou over us. But the olive tree said unto them, Should I leave my fatness, wherewith by me they honour God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? And the trees said to the fig tree, Come thou, and reign over us. But the fig tree said unto them, Should I forsake my sweetness, and my good fruit, and go to be promoted over the trees? Then said the trees unto the vine, Come thou, and reign over us. And the vine said unto them, Should I leave my wine, which cheereth God and man, and go to be promoted over the trees? Then said all the trees unto the bramble, Come thou, and reign over us. And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon. Does a plain reading of that text mean we should believe now that the bible teaches that trees talk to each other? Or is establishing context important, and taking the council of the entire word to establish the true meaning being communicated by the text also important? The bible is a literary work. Sometimes the wider context of the rest of the text effects how you should understand specific verses. If it says the dead know nothing you have two options with the story, either it is a glaring contradiction and the book of either samuel or the book of ecclesiates and job are lying to us. or you are meant to infer that it is infact demons pretending to be spirits of the dead which is why God doesn't want us to try to communicate with our departed loved ones, as Lex has done here. Personally i don't believe in biblical contradictions, only misunderstandings.
