SAMUEL AND THE WITCH OF ENDOR


Samuel and the witch of Endor is a very interesting article. We have shown from other articles that the spirit of man goes back to God at death, and the spirits of beasts [children of the devil] go down to hell. Samuel was a man of God; his spirit would have gone to God when he died.

Heb 11:32  And what shall I more say? for the time would fail me to tell of Gideon, and of Barak, and of Samson, and of Jephthah; of David also, and Samuel, and of the prophets:

Saul found a woman with a familiar spirit, because God the Father would not communicate with Saul.

1Sa 28:6  And when Saul inquired of the LORD, the LORD answered him not, neither by dreams, nor by Urim, nor by prophets. 
1Sa 28:7  Then said Saul unto his servants, Seek me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I may go to her, and inquire of her. And his servants said to him, Behold, there is a woman that hath a familiar spirit at Endor. 

The witch saw Samuel come up and realized that it was King Saul who was there with her.

1Sa 28:11  Then said the woman, Whom shall I bring up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up Samuel. 
1Sa 28:12  And when the woman saw Samuel, she cried with a loud voice: and the woman spoke to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? for thou art Saul. 

Read the next verse carefully; Saul asked ‘what did you see?’ Look at the answer ‘Gods ascending out of the earth’ [God is the correct translation, as  only one came up.]

1Sa 28:13  And the king said unto her, Be not afraid: for what sawest thou? And the woman said unto Saul, I saw gods ascending out of the earth.

Saul then asked ‘what form is this God in?’ The answer is ‘the form of Samuel’ 

1Sa 28:14  And he said unto her, What form is he of? And she said, An old man cometh up; and he is covered with a mantle. And Saul perceived that it was Samuel, and he stooped with his face to the ground, and bowed himself. 

When read carefully; the answer is clear. A God comes out of the earth in the form of Samuel. This God is one of the children of the devil who lives in Hades. Samuel’s spirit is in heaven, it is not in hell.

The evil God told the truth about what would happen to Saul. He also predicted a terrible fate for Saul, which caused the king to collapse. He revealed that Saul and Saul’s sons were of the devils seed and would soon be in hell with the evil God.

1Sa 28:19  Moreover the LORD will also deliver Israel with thee into the hand of the Philistines: and tomorrow shalt thou and thy sons be with me: the LORD also shall deliver the host of Israel into the hand of the Philistines. 
1Sa 28:20  Then Saul fell straightway all along on the earth, and was sore afraid, because of the words of Samuel: and there was no strength in him; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all the night.

King Saul and his sons are of the devils seed and will be eventually slain by God the Father. What a terrible thing to find out about ones self.

Isa 14:21  Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

The true account of Samuel, and the witch of Endor, gives a chilling insight to what is in store for mankind at the end time. The power and deception of the descendants of God the Father will deceive most of this world.

Mat 24:24  For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall show great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 

Rev 17:8  The beast that thou sawest was, and is not; and shall ascend out of the bottomless pit, and go into perdition: and they that dwell on the earth shall wonder, whose names were not written in the book of life from the foundation of the world, when they behold the beast that was, and is not, and yet is.
