Isn't it funny how Manoa was so afraid of dying immediately after receiving news that they would have a son? It's like: was he even listening?? hehe... but we can probably find the same thing in our own hearts at times? and Manoa's unnamed wife definitely rebuked him because of her faith :P<br /><br /><b>Rita,</b><br /><i>"I love it how even in the OT it was always clear that Salvation is/was/will always be from/of the Lord. Again we see another barren woman, whom by God's grace was able to bear a child..."</i><br />Amen! I love that too!Penn Tomassettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426113620189406498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674803111398619972.post-43541025547903063122009-09-06T19:27:13.021-04:002009-09-06T19:27:13.021-04:00So Manoah must have doubted the word of the angel ...So Manoah must have doubted the word of the angel of the Lord, where his wife had faith that what He said would come to pass...Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745470127207480213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674803111398619972.post-57050331323009651152009-09-06T19:24:40.049-04:002009-09-06T19:24:40.049-04:00Hmmm...the angel of the Lord said, "Behold, y...Hmmm...the angel of the Lord said, "Behold, you are barren and have not borne children, but you shall conceive and bear a son." In response to Manoa's fear, maybe his wife was thinking, how could we have a son if God were to kill us?!<br /><br />That's the first thing that came to mind, but I think we need your answer. :)Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16745470127207480213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674803111398619972.post-35514132447260907432009-09-03T08:22:12.849-04:002009-09-03T08:22:12.849-04:00Or in other words, why was Manoah's fear of dy...Or in other words, why was Manoah's fear of dying misplaced?Penn Tomassettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426113620189406498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674803111398619972.post-2704200779042358082009-09-03T08:19:38.078-04:002009-09-03T08:19:38.078-04:00Rita!

He even said His name is "wonderful."<br /><br />On the second question, you didn't answer it... I asked why Manoah's wife humorously rebuked him for his silly fear. Can you guess?<br /><br />Hint: Manoah's wife had more faith than he did. ;)Penn Tomassettihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04426113620189406498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674803111398619972.post-11316136221248934662009-09-03T01:31:56.781-04:002009-09-03T01:31:56.781-04:00I love it how even in the OT it was always clear t...I love it how even in the OT it was always clear that Salvation is/was/will always be from/of the Lord. Again we see another barren woman, whom by God's grace was able to bear a child; one whom was, before he was even conceived, destined to be the savior of the people of God, the Israelites. <br /><br /><br />oh and the answer to the 2nd question is Manoa thought they were going to die because they had seen God, The Angel of the Lord.Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385067178930906667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-674803111398619972.post-81505602281639399712009-09-03T00:52:18.783-04:002009-09-03T00:52:18.783-04:00THE Angel of the Lord is Christ himself, as we are...THE Angel of the Lord is Christ himself, as we are told in God's word that no one has seen God(John 1:18), and that Christ is the image of the invisible God(Colossians 1:15).Moonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01385067178930906667noreply@blogger.com
