Samuel the Seer: First in the Prophetic Movement in Israel - Paperback

by Walter C. Kaiser (Author)

Hannah's deliverance from her distress is a foreshadow of the full deliverance Yeshua's followers will experience when he returns to rescue his people. Through Samuel, God gives us a fascinating look of how he works, showing us the way Messiah will come and judge all persons as he concludes history in the last days.
