”Is it not wheat harvest to day? I will call unto the LORD, and he shall send thunder and rain; that ye may perceive and see that your wickedness is great, which ye have done in the sight of the LORD, in asking you a king. So Samuel called unto the LORD; and the LORD sent thunder and rain that day: and all the people greatly feared the LORD and Samuel.“
1 Samuel 12:17-18 KJV
Samuel told the children of Israel after he anointed Saul as the king as they had asked, “Pay attention! Watch this wonder that God is going to perform before you now! It’s summer, as you well know, and the rainy season is over. But I’m going to pray to God. He’ll send thunder and rain, a sign to convince you of the great wrong you have done to God by asking for a king.” Samuel prayed to God, and God sent thunder and rain that same day. The people were greatly afraid and in awe of God and of Samuel. The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy. The Israelites had rejected God as King to ask for an earthly king. Samuel the prophet conveyed God’s displeasure at their decision. God then sent His Son at the fulfillment of the ages to abolish sin once and for all by the sacrifice of Himself! This is the testimony of Jesus our Lord, that the wrong decision to sin against God, will not ever change the efficacy of Christ’s sacrifice on the Cross. Let’s greatly reverence our Lord Jesus for removing the guilt of ALL sin. Thank You Jesus!
