He belonged\u003cbr\u003eto a transition period. It was appointed to him to pilot the nation\u003cbr\u003ebetween two stages of its history: from a republic to a monarchy; from a\u003cbr\u003econdition of somewhat casual and indefinite arrangements to one of more\u003cbr\u003esystematic and orderly government. The great object of his life was to\u003cbr\u003esecure that this change should be made in the way most beneficial for\u003cbr\u003ethe nation, and especially most beneficial for its spiritual interests.\u003cbr\u003eCare must be taken that while becoming like the nations in having a\u003cbr\u003eking, Israel shall not become like them in religion, but shall continue\u003cbr\u003eto stand out in hearty and unswerving allegiance to the law and covenant\u003cbr\u003eof their fathers' God.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSamuel was the last of the judges, and in a sense the first of the\u003cbr\u003eprophets. The last of the judges, but not a military judge; not ruling\u003cbr\u003elike Samson by physical strength, but by high spiritual qualities and\u003cbr\u003eprayer; not so much wrestling against flesh and blood, as against\u003cbr\u003eprincipalities and powers, and the rulers of the darkness of this world,\u003cbr\u003eand spiritual wickedness in high places. In this respect his function\u003cbr\u003eas judge blended with his work as prophet. Before him, the prophetic\u003cbr\u003eoffice was but a casual illumination; under him it becomes a more steady\u003cbr\u003eand systematic light.","brand":"SAP","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47069294854384,"sku":"2940014516044","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940014516044_p0.jpg?v=1763610507","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940014516044","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
