We have started with the first three Judges, Othniel the Ideal Judge, Ehud theJudge in training and Deborah the Collective Judge or Bride. We also dealt with theFour Giants or Relationships and the First enemy - the Flesh. Gideon and his 300men represent the Bride that will fight the enemy and Israel that will rebuke them.

Then we met Abimelech, the rebel who overthrew authority, he was a bad judge whoelected himself as Ruler. After Abimelech Tola and Jair ruled over Israel and things

did not improve much. YHVH gathered His people back together and work to healtheir brokenness.

Then we met Jephthah, a man chosen by the people who had zeal and faith, butknew no Torah. We also saw the Third and Forth Enemies the tongue (speakingwithout thinking) and the Anti-Torah spirit that caused a lot of problems. Ibzam, Elonand Abdon succeeded him. They represent the time prior to the Tribulation, until theday of Judgement. Where does Samson fit in, can it possibly be the time periodduring the Seventh Millennium? Throughout this study you will see conformation afterconformation that this is actually the 1000-year period after the Tribulation. Duringthe 1000-years, YHVH will rise up people to help them to learn His Ways. TheTimeline would then look as follows:

Now heres a brief summary of Rev 20 of each verse to give us an overview of theend time events and where the 1000-years fit in to relation to the judgment of YHVH.

o vs. 1 - An angel descends from heaven with a key and a chain.o vs. 2 - He binds Satan for 1000 years.o vs. 3 - During the 1000 years Satan cannot deceive the nations any more.o vs. 4 - Martyrs are resurrected to reign with Yshua The Messiah for 1000

years.o vs. 5a - The rest of the dead will be raised at the end of the 1000 years.o vs. 6 - Those in the first resurrection will reign as Priests with Yshua for 1000

years over those who were still alive during the 1000 years.o vs. 7 - Satan will be loosed at the end of the 1000 years for a short time.o vs. 8 After this the rest of the dead will be raised with the people who lived

and multiplied through the 1000 years and Satan will try to deceive them all.

Bible Scholars tend to confuse the 1000-year Millennium of peace with the time after theNew Jerusalem that will came down. The 1000-year peace is the Sabbatical Millenniumor the Seventh Day and this period will end after the destruction of YHVHs enemies byfire and the coming down of the New Jerusalem to earth. This is the starting of the EighthMillennium or the Eighth Day 8 means new beginnings. We will look at all thesupporting verses to proof this and bring some clarity regarding this subject.

The judgment described here is where YHVH will smite His enemieswith the Sword of His mouth; this is the Battle of Armageddon, thebattle that takes place at the end of the Great Tribulation, just beforethe 1000-year period.

This period is also known as the Winepress where His enemies will be oppressed tomake them humble so that some of them might repent and accept Him as their

Master.

In Isa verse 11 we read that YHVH will recover the remnant of His people for aSECOND TIME. When was the first time? This was the time up to and during theGreat Tribulation, where He gathered the Righteous people, the living and the dead(First Resurrection), who are known as the Bride, to be with Him and reign during this1000-years. The Second gathering will happen at the end of the 1000-years wherethe people will be Judged, the living and the dead (Second Resurrection). Satan willbe absent during the 1000-year period and that is why it is referred to as theMillennium of Peace.

The era is known as the Millennium of Peace which is also the Seventh Millennium orRest according the Seven Day pattern of Creation. It must mean that the humanlifespan is restored to what it was before the Flood. This time is a mirror image of thePattern that started in the Garden of Eden and will end in the Garden of Eden state;ie the New Jerusalem. There was a time where people lived a thousand years afterbeing expelled from the Garden, and there will be a time the people live a thousandyears before they are restored back into the Garden called the New Jerusalem.

Note that the people sanctified themselves in the Gardens before the finalJudgement by Fire (Gog & Magog). We have seen in Isaiah 11 and 65 that there willbe peace and people will live in harmony and all the animals will be living togetherwithout hostility. This proofs that YHVH will first restore Nature and then Man. Whenman sinned in the Garden of Eden, YHVH cursed the ground (nature) and cursedman. His restoration process is the reversing of these bad consequinces and as inHis Creation, He will first restore the Land before He will restore Man. Man is fullyrestored after the battle of Gog and Magog and after that YHVH will come down withHis Glory and live with us in the New Jerusalem forever. His Kingdom will then befully restored.

This verse confirms the destruction of the earth and its people with the Sword of Hismouth (His Word), and after this judgement and separation, there will be mourningand languishing AND there will be people left on the earth who will be sick, weak andwill mourn. With all this evidence we clearly see that there will be survivors after theTribulation and who will survive it and who will be living on the earth during theMillennium of peace (Winepress). They will go through this time to learn YHVHsWays and follow His Torah as well as the restoration of the Temple of Ezekiel.

Samson was a Nazarite from birth and nazaritecomes from the root word nazir that one of themeanings is not to prune the vine. We havecome across this phrase in Judges 8 where the

men of Sukkoth did not assist Gideon and his menwhen they went after the enemys leaders, and alsoin judges 9 where Abimelech took over the authorityby force. In those two events these people depictedbelievers or brothers in the Faith who had notbelieve in unity or to follow the lead of YHVHschosen. In the second case, they overthrew theleadership and killed the appointed leaders.

These are the rebellious, arrogant and selfish followers of Jesus or Yshua who will notmake it as the Bride but are part of the Body of Christ or the Messiah. These are also thefollowers of the false teachers who disregarded the Torah and who had no real blessing(hedge around the Garden), no wall (Torah) and who lived on the edge of backslidingand destruction.

It mentions the men of Sukkot (meaning tents) and I believethese people will dwell in tents because the System will becompletely destroyed and there will not be much left other thanruins after the earthquakes at the end of Tribulation. They will bepeople who with a religious background; Christians and peoplewho did not know and did not follow YHVHs Ways. This clearsup the confusion around the two verses that states that not manywill go in through the narrow gate and the verse that says thatthere will be a great multitude that cannot be numbered before

the Throne of YHVH that will be saved. After this 1000-year period, there will be peoplewho will learn the Ways of YHVH and they will become a great multitude (multiplying tobecome billions), especially if they all live a 1000 years and have children and multiply aswell. This is only my opinion on this and is not necessarily a fact.

Among these people will be secular leaders and spiritual leaders and the majority will befollowers of these people. Samson depicts a Spiritual Leader that will lead the people asa Judge during this time and he will fight against the Philistines (unbelievers). Who arethe Philistines and who will they represent? Philistine means: those who dwell invillages. It comes from the root word palash that means: land of sojourners, mourningand ashes, palash is first found in Scripture in Jer 6:26.

This sets the mood of the people who will on the earth during this time and many peoplemight be ill, in a state of mourning and full of bitterness. Some of them might feel remorseand others might be angry with YHVH for judging them in this way. The Philistines werethe inhabitants of Pelesheth and are known as Pelishtites that means Judges orDestroyers. As we have seen in this series of studies, Judges are leaders but some ofthese leaders were destroyers. Samson represents the Spiritual Judge or Leader, andthis means that the Philistines represent the secular Rulers or Leaders and their followerswill fight against the establishment of YHVHs Ways during this time on the earth.

The people that will be on the earth during the 1000-year period will be:

o The people of Succoth Believers in Jesus & Yshua, Brothers in faith, who didnot support the Bride and did not submit under the leaders YHVH raised togovern His people prior to the Tribulation. They suffered form Pride, Fear andEnvy and were brought to the edge of destruction (Tribulation). They fearedSatan and his powers more (man made, Satan invented System) than theyfeared YHVH. They envied the dedicated people of YHVH and were too proud tosubmit under His Leaders. (Typically the majority of Christians)

o People who were ignorant and did not know. They are ignorant of YHVH andhis Ways but did not follow the main stream System and will not be destroyedwith it.

o The Philistines people form across the board that come in protest againstYHVH and His people because of what has happened during the Tribulation.Mostly unbelievers and rebels.

o Judges like Samson People YHVH will use to govern man and to lead them

against the battle of the flesh and against pressures of man. Satan will bebound and his System will be destroyed and this leaves these people with theirenemies, fleshly desires and influence by negative people.

We are now going to look into the life of Samson to give us more insight into thisperiod and find out what YHVH wants us to learn. Hopefully we are all part of theBride and would not have to go through the 1000-years on the earth, but rather bewith YHVH and Yshua, ruling and reigning with Him.

We have seen that Samson, in the timeline of the Book of Judges, follows after theJudgment (Abdon) and he will be the type of Judge that YHVH will use during the1000-year period.

Samson is one of the Judges that does not fit the criteria of a godly Judge as wehave seen in the previous sections. He is more of a fleshy guy like ArnoldSchwarzenegger who was not very spiritual and people admire him for his physicalfleshly strength. Physical people would find him as an attractive leader because ofhis physical strength and abilities. He was not portrayed as someone who is aspiritual leader. There is only one place recorded where he prayed a prayer and thatis to get more physical strength to kill the enemy.

Samsons fathers name was Manoah, it is like Noah with a Mem added in front ofit. Noah means rest and this is what the 1000-year period is called; the SabbaticalMillennium. Mem means water and represents the Word and this implies thatIsrael who is on the earth during the 1000-year period, must learn YHVHs waysbecause they have not learned it prior to the Tribulation and they were not part of the

Bride who was gathered and taken by YHVH to celebrate the Marriage Feast withHim.

Samson means: his sun; his service; there the second time, and this is the secondtime YHVH allows for the people who did not learn His ways and people who wereignorant, to follow Him in the absence of Satans deception. Samson comes from theTribe of Dan that means Judge or Judgment. We have learned in the previous sectionsthat the Body of Messiah consists of two parts, the Bride and the Body. The Bride is likeGideon and his men and the rest of the believers are part of the greater Israel. Their testwill come when Satan will be released at the end of the 1000 years to see if they willrebel against YHVH and fight against Jerusalem, or if they will separate themselves formSatan and his men, and live.

This is another verse that proves that Samson is a picture of the Rulers that will reignin the 1000-year Sabbath; Samson was an unpruned vine, set apart the for theSeventh Millennium where he will rule the people and lead them to follow Him.
