JUST A BOX [Sam. 4]
And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. Jesus

NOTE- Tomorrow I talk about the tragic death of a local girl. I’ve been commenting on it the past few weeks. Like Heather- a girl who was murdered last year- right after going to CCPD and telling them ‘he’s going to murder me’. She was killed. Ok- obviously the family thought the cops were not doing their job [whether true or not- I don’t know- but you could understand the feeling coming from the family].
So- the other day I read an article in the Caller Times- they have been doing a good job on covering the problem of domestic violence in Corpus Christ.
But- I read the headline- and it seemed strange- I looked for the link- as of now can’t find it.
Why strange?
It had the sister of the latest victim- saying something like ‘the law and CCPD are doing a good job [Hmm?] but the system needs time to work’.
Then they said the sister of the victim said this.
I read the actual article [small print as we say- which most people don’t read- they usually form their opinion from the headline].
And this quote- according to the actual article- WAS NOT FROM THE SISTER- But the cop in charge of the domestic violence unit.
I’ll give the benefit of the doubt to the Caller Times- and attribute it to a simple mistake- but the national media do indeed do this type of stuff- all the time.
[ I just found the article- right before I post- in my news paper collection here at the house- I’ll post the actual pictures on facebook right now- I hope the caller times makes a correction because if the family does not feel this way- it victimizes them again].

NEW NOTES ON SAMUEL 4- [news links and commentary below]
The people of God go to battle against the enemy- at a place called Ebenezer [means rock of help- a picture of Christ].
So- they think God is on their side- and the enemy wins!
They go back to Shiloh- the place where the Ark [box] was- and they think if they bring the box with them- this time they will win.
The Ark was a God given thing- but inside of it were the 10 commandments- which the people did not keep anymore.
The Philistines hear that the box is now with the army- and they fear.
Yet- they say ‘be strong- be courageous- let’s fight to the death anyway’.
This is a God given principle- courage- but the Philistines worshipped false Gods [they had bad doctrine about God].
So- they engage in battle with God’s people [right doctrine- but not right obedience] and sure enough- the enemy wins- and captures the Ark!
The 2 sons of Eli are killed- fulfilling the first prophecy God gave Samuel and Eli hears what happened- and falls back off his chair and dies.
Bible teachers ‘warn’ not to confuse the Ebenezer of chapter 4 with that of chapter 7.
Why?
Because in chapter 7 the Ebenezer is an actual stone monument that represents victory for God’s people. And the Ebenezer of chapter 4 seems to not be a picture of Christ- the Rock of help.
Jesus said that whoever ‘this rock’ falls on- it will grind him to powder- but whoever falls on it- will be broken.
Jesus was speaking of himself- saying ‘if you repent- and ‘fall’ down before me’- yes- it is a type of judgment- but necessary.
But- if you reject me- the rock comes in judgment.
I believe the Ebenezer of chapter 4 was a type of Christ too.
Because God allowed the defeat- so the people would realize it’s not good enough to just have ‘the box’ which is an outward expression of religion- but you need a change of heart.
When you receive the Ebenezer of chapter 4- then you get the Ebenezer of chapter 7- and the Philistines get ‘ground to dust’.
See?

1Samuel 4:4 So the people sent to Shiloh, that they might bring from thence the ark of the covenant of the LORD of hosts, which dwelleth between the cherubims: and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, were there with the ark of the covenant of God.

1Samuel 4:22 And she said, The glory is departed from Israel: for the ark of God is taken.

http://www.cnn.com/2016/06/28/politics/benghazi-report-hillary-clinton/index.html I refuse to read it- I don’t have to. ‘No bombshell’- remember what I told you the other day?
We ALREADY KNOW THE BOMBSHELL.
In short- the ambassador asked- ONE THOUSAND TIMES- for more security.
This has never happened in the history of the state dept. [run by Hillary Clinton]
Then- another 1st- the actual security team- hired by the state dept. – were militia groups in Libya [I know this is hard to believe- but its true].
Then- they actually carried out the words of our ambassador- and they murdered him.
Now- we need no more bombshell- that’s it.
HILLARY’S RESPONSE- ‘They are just attacking my campaign’- sad- The report showed us that one of the reasons we did not send our men help- was the Obama administration debated if they needed ‘approval’ from Libya- I mean our own men were under attack.
Besides the fact that Hillary lied- and said the attack was because of a video- she even lied to the family members of the dead.
The investigation was NOT INTENDED to find who was at fault- if it were- then yes- it would be Hillary’s state dept. But the media says ‘no wrong doing found’ but that’s not what they were looking for- in the sense that our guys asked for help- and didn’t get it- yes- that is wrong doing.
PAGE 30 [of the report] security assessment 9 months before attack- state dept. witness said ‘people will die in Benghazi’ because we have inadequate security.
Now- Hillary’s state dept. knew this- why did she not provide adequate security?
HOW THIS WOMAN CAN RUN FOR PRESIDENT IS BEYOND ME.
