As Samson was the last Judge in the seven sin cycles, we also see many parallels of the 7th Church in Revelation, (Laodicea). Many have a form of godliness but deny the power thereof. (2 Tim. 3:5)Samson shows a perfect example of someone leaning on their own strength, walking in their flesh, and becoming blinded by pride. Our enemy seeks out the spiritually weak to devour as he easily leads the fleshly strongman to blindness through his own sensual lusts. Humility and unity within the body can often times be overlooked as a key to overcoming the spiritual battle we as believers face. Like Samson's 7 locks, when the church body acts in unison there is anointed strength, but when they are divided and scattered all power is lost. Why do you think the enemy seeks to divide us? Why do you think there is such a war between flesh and Spirit? If we fail to subdue the flesh we also will be defeated in the spiritual battle we are called to, as shown in Samson's life. If we walk by the Spirit, we will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh, which defeats every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of Yeshua (2 Cor 10;5), which is a picture of king David. Though David was not big and strong, he was obedient and trusted Yah to bring down the giant. The flesh will trust in itself but the Spirit will trust in Yah!
