Samson and Delilah: What nobody ever told you (the SECRET behind the Biblical story)

[@heathalee]

Samson was a loyal and honest person with a pure heart and that's what blinded him to the betrayal and trickery she used against him in the guise of something important to him. It's hard to spot evil intent when you dont have it in you.

[@cpcreit]

very true....

[@venom6827]

😍

[@danielw7290]

@1EY3King but he had a first wife. Are you saying he didn’t consummate the marriage?

[@aqua6613]

If he was so loyal and honest why did he keep secrets from his parents about the origin of the honey he brought back after he had taken it out of a lions carcass. Not sure if that was something kosher to eat at the time if they had been strict religious people. Had they known the honey came from out of a dead animal...they would have rejected it. So to say he was honest and loyal would probably not be applicable given the circumstances.

[@aqua6613]

It also wasn't hard to spot because he had already been betrayed in a similar fashion by his first wife who wished to solve his riddle which was his secret. Delilah wanted the secret to his power. He must have believed himself thar his power came from his hair, but his power had always come from God, he just never asked God for it until in the end when he asked to pull down the pillars of the temple. God had always been with him the entire time and before he was born. His first wife was given to his companion and he even went back to her father to ask for her back and the father wouldn't break up her marriage with the companion and had offered her sister instead. He got denied and so he ended up with Delilah. To ask for a woman back who you turned out because she turned you out for her people would be grabbing sloppy seconds with the companion having already married her. Samson suited himself 😆. Atleast the father seemed to have some common sense. Had he wanted her back badly enough he could have killed the companion, but that's not how the story was supposed to go. He was supposed to meet Delilah so he could be sold out and put into captivity. The main purpose of his entire existence was to free the Israelited from the phillistines which goes to show that God can use any and all circumstances to bring about his will. Something to eat out of something dead. A fore shadowing...we have the holy Spirit out of the sacrifice of Jesus.

Thank You for your insight into the Old Testament, I love these stories as my grandmother would tell them to me when I was a child, and taught me to love Jesus Christ. I feel a great love for the Jewish people and all they have gone through, and pray for them for they are surrounded by enemies who hate them. I know we are in the last days. Shalom

[@bluemovie5871]

Great teachings… and just when I needed them…. thanks…. Also I want to note, because I am putting this reminder in one of my new Paintings titled “Samson and Delilah”…… the memory is short…. The Philistines in their arrogance forgot the secret to Samson’s Power and in their lasting revelry Samson’s hair grew back and with it his strength. …..As a Christian who has followed the Rabbinical teachings for many years now I admit… your reflections are a great model for me to move forward in my life’s Purpose and as fearless as ever… even helping those when it hurts… thanks again

[@georgesparks7833]

I appreciate the rabbi and what he taught. It was very enjoyable and informative. Epic of Samson and Delilah was about keeping one's oath, commitment, integrity in a covenant. As a Nazarite he was not supposed to cut his hair. Eat fruit from the vine nor touch anything unclean like something dead. In Samson's life, he killed a lion and touched its dead carcass to retrieve honey, he went to a wedding festival where there would be drinking, and finally Delilah or her servant cut his hair. All three commitments were broken by Samson. And that's when the spirit of God left. So the epic of Samson is about the commitment to an oath, a covenant. The power was not in his hair, Samson strength was in The covenant. Before the time of the judges, Moses was given the 10 commandments... There is much more but it's a covenant with his people. Keeping the covenant meant staying in the land of milk and honey. failure to keep the covenant. Well, You know the rest of the story.

[@francesbernard2445]

I like this. Thank you. I heard that Samson pulled down a pillar destroying many of his enemies and himself too while he was blind and enslaved. The book of judges in places is like that. What JAel did in the book of Judges while the judge Debra was often warning people about what might happen is another similar kind of example of how power corrupts leading to the demise of many. While Jael was often feeling frustrated about what all was going on around her. Did she then get arrested right away by someone among the people in charge at the time for being such a strange 'girl' instead (of a strange 'boy'? Fires sometimes start because of only serendipity while so many human beings around at the time are wanting to become powerful and successful. Our tongues are sometimes in a way like fire setters too.That is why most people feel inspired when watching a rocket ship successfully launched into the air mainly because of how much team work amoung us human beings is requiried to achieve that. A rocket ship instead of rocket launcher(s) launching bombs. When I see a picture of what someone would have looked like with that sort of DNA way back in the year 2000 B.C. what a humbling experience that is sometimes.

[@bungalowlogic7676]

The Samson story kept arising to my thoughts whe I went down the Semen Retention rabbit hole. Could Samson not allowing a razor to cut his hair be analogous to not losing control of your seed? The Old Testament was never very shy about veiling such things, but is there some correlation to this? Seems that in either case, its the influence of a woman which precipitates the concession: Delilah imploring him to disclose the secret of his strength vs the temptations any woman presents sexually...

[@adventmonyatsiwa3542]

Rabbi, so then am I correct to say that the secret to Samson’s strength was consecration to God through acts of cleanliness, purity and especially reservation of his sexual energies which is essentially semen retention? This is my revelation about Samson’s story.

[@aqua6613]

Everyone focuses on Delilah, but nobody talks about his first wife, which he asked his parents for because she "pleased him" she didn't please God but she pleased her people which led to his first betrayal. If anything, the samson story is a story about repeated behavioral patterns. He had a secret about the honey and the lion he didn't even tell his parents about even tho they benefitted from the honey, but had they known the origin of the honey from a lions carcass they would have rejected and not eaten it because it was unclean. The honey itself was permissible to eat. Samson was a deceiver from the beginning even tho he had the anointing he was much like Jacob being a trigger and being tricked also because his Achilles heel was focusing on a woman and one who was not of God but in the end was of God because God's plan was to free the Israelites from the oppression of the Philistines, which was later accomplished. It wasn't really the hair thar gave him the strength and power, his power had always come from the most high.

[@Sbock86]

Important to note that in the text it explains that his first wife was planned or ordained by God to create a conflict with the Philistines.

[@marksingleton7199]

On a deeper level. The seperated mind was caused by the split of the higher awarness into thought of good and evil. Thought with God and thought of self. God connects the mind via the soul which connects and gives life to all thought created within the original mind. The selfish part of the mind does not like God giving good thought within the independent mind. The mind then strokes the ego and distracts it with pleasure in the hope of capturing your heart or desire for its purpose which is opposite God's. So this is like Eve creating within herself and her creation follows her thought. This thought gains power for itself. God comes through the good side of Eve and the influence can pull people away from selfishness. Selfish people then attack the person who leaves their influence of thought. They use the power of Eve's selfish side to deliver the threat to their belief system back to them where they judge him and enslave him. Samson lost his sight or awareness of God. He used the time of captivity to regrow his connection to God. He ground his thoughts on the mill stone. Still chained to the lower awareness of the mind he pulled away the supporting columns of the minds belief system which had been worshiped by self using Gods power. The honey in the carcass of the lion.

[@garychoihk]

Samson is the 12th judge instead of the 7th judge, right?

[@xrjx1511]

The greatest story in the bible because it proves that the bible can not be taken literally. The bible is a collection of allegories. Even the God of the bible is an allegory. God is not a being among beings but is being itself. The story also shows that negating negatives is positive and negating positives and also affirming negatives, is negative. Both negative energy and positive energy can be used for good and can be used for bad.
