“And the Spirit of the LORD came upon him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew thirty men of them, and took their spoil, and gave change of garments unto them which expounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, and he went up to his father's house.”
Judges 14:19 KJV
Then suddenly, the Spirit of Yahweh rushed upon Samson, infusing him with power! He went down to Ashkelon and killed thirty of their men. He stripped them of their linen tunics and their robes and gave them in payment to those who had explained the riddle. Then, in a blazing fury, he returned to his father’s house. Linen was used for the garment of a priest. Thirty is the number of a mature priesthood, for men could only become priests at the age of thirty. Samson’s riddle has revelation hidden within it for the Church today. Seven days they feasted trying to solve the riddle. One day is with the Lord as a thousand years, and a thousand years as one day. We are on the seventh day from Adam and are about to unravel the riddle of life. The ones who solve the riddle receive new garments, costly festive wedding garments, clothed with immortality. O Lord, I will honor and praise Your Name, for You are my God. You do such wonderful things! You planned them long ago, and You accomplish them. Hallelujah!
