1.1b.2 Samson's thirst [∞] End of judgement
Samson slew a thousand men with the jawbone of an ass [1] as a shadow of Christ judging men. When he was finished judging, Samson was thirsty. When Jesus was finished judging, he was totally consumed. He is the Word of God which is symbolized by water. His 'water' was all used up. Both Samson and Jesus were thirsty. With "I thirst", Jesus declared, "Judgement is finished".
Water then came from the jawbone. [Jawbone lechiy לחי - fresh, new לח creation י] When Christ was finished with the judgement of man, Jesus gave new life.
- ↑ ▸ ± Jud 15:16-19 And Samson said, With the jawbone of an ass, heaps upon heaps, with the jaw of an ass have I slain a thousand men. Jud 15:17 And it came to pass, when he had made an end of speaking, that he cast away the jawbone out of his hand, and called that place Ramathlehi. Jud 15:18 ¶ And he was sore athirst, and called on the LORD, and said, Thou hast given this great deliverance into the hand of thy servant: and now shall I die for thirst, and fall into the hand of the uncircumcised? Jud 15:19 But God clave an hollow place that [was] in the jaw, and there came water thereout; and when he had drunk, his spirit came again, and he revived: wherefore he called the name thereof Enhakkore, which [is] in Lehi unto this day.
