SUBJECTION (SAM.12)
SAUL IS NOW THE FIRST OFFICIAL KING OF YISHARAL AND THEY ARE NOW IN SUBMISSION TO HIS DOMINION (AT THEIR OWN CHOOSING). SO HERE WE SEE A BLOOD-COVENANT RENEWAL CEREMONY (OF SORTS) BECAUSE A NEW GOVERNMENT IS FORMING, WHICH MEANS THE WAY YAHUSHA ADMINISTERS JUSTICE (HIS DOMINION) WILL NOW BE THROUGH A MONARCH INSTEAD OF RANDOM TRIBAL JUDGES. AND AFTER THIS EVENT, SAM WILL NO LONGER BE YISHARAL’S POLITICAL LEADER, BUT ONLY THEIR PROPHET AND A VOICE `TO THE THRONE’.
Then Sam told the Yisharalites, “You all asked for a King and now I’ve now given one! You happy? I’m out, just like you wanted! You’ve all seen how I’ve led and guided you since I was a young man. Well guess what? I’m not young anymore...
... my hair is grey, and my own sons are now grown up. So now its time to see how well your new King will lead you. Let me ask you, have I ever taken anyone’s ox or donkey or forced you to give me anything? Have I ever hurt anyone or taken a bribe to give an unfair decision? COME ON, DON’T BE SHY NOW! Speak up and answer me so that Yahuah and His new anointed King can hear you, because if any of you think I’ve done this, I’ll happily give it all back. Yisharal, you’ve made it crystal clear that I’m not good enough to lead you - you’ve given me the ol’ heave-ho! But just remember, I never twisted your arm and made you winge and wine for a King did I?”
“NO, You’ve never cheated us or twisted our arm in any way!” said Yisharal.
“Well Yahuah and his chosen King are witnesses to what you’ve just said.”
“That’s true,” they replied. Then Samuel told them, “Yahuah your Alahim brought your ancestors out of Egypt and chose Moses and Aaron to be your leaders. Now Yahuah Himself will be your judge, so stand still and listen (AS ONE STANDING TRIAL BEFORE A JUDGE), while I remind you how often Yahuah has delivered you and your ancestors from your enemies. LIKE A PROSECUTOR IN A TRIAL SAMUEL BEGINS LAYING OUT A CASE AGAINST THE HEBREW PEOPLE AND THEIR LEADERS BY OUTLINING THEIR HISTORY LEADING UP TO THIS INDICTMENT.
After Jacob went to Egypt, your ancestors cried out to Yahuah for help, and He sent Moses and Aaron. They led your ancestors out of Egypt and had them settle in this land. But your ancestors forgot about Yahuah, so He let them be defeated by the Philistines, the King of Moab, and Sisera, the commander of Hazor’s army.
Again your ancestors cried out to Yahuah for help, saying, “We’ve disobeyed You and fallen away! We stopped serving You, our Yahuah, and started bowing down to Baal and Astarte. But now, if You rescue us from our enemies, we’ll follow you again.”
So Yahuah sent Gideon, Bedan, Jephthah, and finally myself to rescue you all from your enemies, and then you didn’t have to worry about being attacked anymore. BECAUSE THE CURRENT RESIDENTS OF CANAAN WERE BORN INTO THE ERA OF THE JUDGES, SAM MENTIONS SOME OF THEIR RECENT HEROES: ALL BEING JUDGES.
Then you saw that King Nachash of Ammon was going to attack you, and even though Yahuah your Alahim is your King, you told me, “This time it’s different. We want a real King to rule us!” THIS WASN’T A DELUSION, YISHARAL WAS BEING ATTACKED FROM ALL SIDES, THE PHILISTINES IN THE WEST AND THE AMORITES JUST RECENTLY FROM THE EAST. THIS ESCALATING PRESSURE DROVE THEM TO DEMAND FOR A KING TO RALLY AND PROTECT THEM, INSTEAD OF TRUSTING AND OBEYING YAHUSHA.
Then you asked for a King (SAUL MEANS `TO ASK’ IN HEBREW) and you chose one. Now he stands here where all of you can see him. But it was really Yahuah who made him your King. If you and your King want things to go well for you, then you must follow and serve Him and do what He says. DON’T BE STUBBORN! BECAUSE IF YOU’RE PIG-HEADED AND REFUSE TO OBEY YAHUAH, HE’LL TURN AGAINST YOU, YOUR KING AND YOUR ANCESTORS. AND JUST LIKE ANYTIME THE BLOOD-COVENANT IS RAISED UP OR RENEWED, THE CONSEQUENCES (BLESSINGS & CURSES) FOR OBEDIENCE OR DISOBEDIENCE ARE MENTIONED.
Just stand here and watch Yahuah show you His mighty power. Isn’t this the dry season? No rain? The time of wheat harvest? Well I’m going ask Yahuah to send a mighty thunderstorm now, and when you see it, you’ll realise just how wrong you were to throw me aside and ask for a King just like the nations have".
And Sam answered, “Even though what you did was evil, you don’t need to be afraid. But you must always follow Yahuah and serve Him with all your heart. AND FOR GOODNESS SAKE, STOP WORSHIPPING THOSE STUPID WORTHLESS IDOLS! THEY DON’T HAVE ANY POWER, AND THEY CAN’T HELP YOU OR DELIVER YOU WHEN YOU’RE IN TROUBLE. But Yahuah has chosen you to be His own treasured people according to His great Name.
Then Sam spoke to Yahusha loudly, and He sent a thunderstorm, and everyone was terrified,saying “Please speak to Yahuah your Alahim for us! We don’t want to die. We know we’ve been wicked and disobedient in times past, and we were so wrong to ask for a King.”
He will always take care of you so that everyone will know how great He is. So yes I’ll speak to Yahuah for you because I’d be disobeying Him if I stopped! I will always teach you how to walk right on the good, straight path. You also must obey Yahuah, serving Him with all your heart and remember the great and marvellous things He’s done for you. But if you and your King do evil, Yahuah will wipe you all out.
SO YISHARAL HAD THE CHOICE WHO TO BE IN SUBJECTION TOO: YAHUSHA OR THE WORLD, AND THEY CHOSE THE WORLD, DEMANDING A HUMAN KING LIKE THE NATIONS!!
"SUBJECTION"
HEBREW UNDERSTANDING :
3533 kabash - to tread down, to disregard, to conquer, subjugate, violate, bring into bondage, force, keep under, subdue, bring into subjection.
3665 kana - to bend the knee, to humiliate, vanquish, bring down (low), into subjection, under, humble (self), subdue.
SCRIPTURAL UNDERSTANDING :
GEN 25:23 And Yahuah said to her, "2 nations are in your womb, and 2 peoples shall be separated from your body. And one people shall be stronger than the other, and the older serve the younger".
Satan is very much into subjection and with his demon hoards will absolutely stop at nothing, to bring Yahusha's people under subjection to his behaviour. The thing people don't realise is that Satan's band is relentless, especially if knocked down with a blow, they will get right back up and come at us from another direction. So we have to be vigilant and forge on through these attacks, constantly gaining ground with the power of truth, remembering THE POWER WITHIN US IS GREATER THAN THE POWER THAT IS IN THIS WORLD. If we don't grasp this wisdom and use it, we will be vanquished and put down into subjection.
This is why Yahusha threw our wickedness as far as the east is from the west. Of course Satan will always throw our past at us but we have been delivered from our past, which can no longer stick to us, and bring us into Satan's slimy humiliating bondage of subjection. WE HAVE BEEN DELIVERED AND SET FREE TO DO YAHUSHA'S WILL, WHILE THE WORLD IS TRYING TO BRING EVERYONE INTO ITS OWN SUBJECTION.
There are only 2 types of subjection in this world, one with Satan, and the other with Yahusha. The word subjection explained in the Hebrew understanding above, describes the treacherous behaviour we will be under if we go with Satan, however Yahusha's subjection is the fruits of obedience and love.
P.S. Interesting how both children had different coloured skin. Shows how the original blood line of Adam & Kuah carried all the different nations within their genes, same as Noah. Shows how racism was not a thing in those days. The miracle of birthing different coloured kids was probably exciting and a blessing for the expecting parents. No place for racism there.
