“Shimshon went down with his father and mother to Timnah. When they came to the vineyards of Timnah, a young lion roared at him. The Spirit of Adonai came powerfully upon Shimshon, and barehanded he tore the lion to pieces as easily as if it had been a young goat. But he didn’t tell his father or mother what he had done.”-Judges 14:6
At Samson’s insistence, Samson’s parents reluctantly agreed to their son’s choice to marry a Philistine girl.
So they started on the journey to Timnah to arrange the marriage.
When they came to a vineyard lying on the outskirts of the Philistine village, Samson separated from his parents.
Even though the vineyard was the quickest and most direct path to Timnah, Samson couldn’t travel through it because he was a NAZIR.
Remember Nazarites can’t come into contact with grapes in any form.
So Samson took a roundabout path.
While he was walking he suddenly encountered a lion.
Surprised, the lion roared at Samson and leapt to attack.
God had plans to use this situation for His divine purposes so just in the nick of time the Spirit of the Lord came upon Samson giving him supernatural strength and boldness.
As a result, Samson tore the lion apart and killed it with his bare hands.
And when I say bare hands, I ain’t kidding man.
Samson mauled that lion without any weapon whatsoever.
This story is legendary and has even reached mythological proportions.
Pretty much every artistic depiction of this event shows Samson wrestling and taking down a fully grown male lion with a flowing mane and all.
But if we look at the original Hebrew, that’s just not the case.
There are actually five Hebrew words used to describe a lion based on its stage of growth.
The word GUR or גור refers to a baby cub.
And then at the total opposite end of the maturity scale is the word LAYISH or לַיִשׁ.
This refers to a lion at its most mature and biggest stage of growth…the type of lion that most folks mistakenly think Samson killed.
However, in between GUR and LAYISH are actually 3 other Hebrew words each indicating a specific stage of a lion’s development.
The second youngest stage following after GUR is KEPHIR or כְּפִיר.
That’s the type of lion Samson fought with.
Which means he really only killed a grown cub…
I mean it wasn’t even a young adult lion yet.
Don’t get me wrong however.
What Samson did was a feat far beyond what any normal human being could do.
But the truth of the matter is he didn’t kill a fully grown lion.
That would have been something if he did.

Why you keep posting these lies. Samson didn’t have braids, he had 7 locks and ONLY a black man can naturally grow 7 locks. Those Caucasian are not God’s chosen people by genealogy. The converted Jews in Israel today are 90% Ashkenaz and Sephardic. Gen 10:2-5 said Ashkenaz are GENTILES and 2 Kings 17:24 Sepharvaim was brought to Samaria to replace the Israelites by the King of Assyria. Then why are they, Japheth living in the home of Shem and where are the original Jews? Gen 9:27 explained: God said Japheth is going to be enlarged and live in Shem’s home. Rev 2:9; 3:9 Jesus said I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan.
After the Romans conquered Jerusalem in 70 AD the original Jews went into Africa. “In his book ,The Great Roman-Jewish War: 66–70, the Roman historian, Flavius Josephus, stated over thousands of years ago,that the Israelites migrated into Africa. He writes:
“General Vaspasian and his son Caesar Titus fought against the Jews. Millions of Jews fled into Africa, among other places, fleeing from Roman persecution and starvation during the siege”. Check out the Lemba Jews of S. Africa and Zimbabwe, the IGBO Jews of Nigeria where Negro land (kingdom of Juda or wyhidah) and the port where they took slaves from to America and the Islands and scattered us all over like God said in Deuteronomy 28:68,30,41
God said, “I will take you back again by SHIPS in Egypt (slavery – if you look at an American $1 bill on the back you will see a pyramid), you will offer yourselves for male and female slaves but no one will buy you (redeem you),
You will have a wife and another man will lie with her, you will build a house and not live in it, you will plant a farm and don’t eat the grapes of it.
You shall have children and not enjoy them because they shall go into captivity.
Deuteronomy 28:54, 66 – The man shall be evil towards his brother ( Black on Black crimes), he shall have his children and leave them ( single mother prevalent in Blacks) and your life shall be in doubt, fearful day and night and having no assurance of life (police brutality towards blacks).
Genesis 15:13 God told Abraham that his descendants will be in a strange land and be afflicted for 400 years and guess what? The trans-Atlantic slavery of black people lasted for 400 years. This is not talking about Moses exodus either because they weren’t in Egypt (Kemet) for 400 years but 430 according to Genesis 12:40.
Isaiah 11:11 and Deu 30:1-3 God said one day, I believe it’s going to be pretty soon, He is going to gather his remnant from North Africa, Ethiopia, Syria, Babylon, Islands of the sea ( Caribbean Islands and other) etc.
Daniel 7:9 and Rev 1:14 Jesus hair is like PURE WOOL (Black man hair texture). This is definitely talking about texture. If I say, “ your hair is like silk or wool” isn’t that common sense I’m talking about texture. Now if you study hair genetics you will learn that Wool hair are exclusive to BLACK people and if a Caucasian person have wool hair it’s actually considered a disorder calls, “Woolly Hair Syndrome” and I’m certain Jesus didn’t have a disorder.

I find it interesting how you follow the curse through Deuteronomy 28 but don’t say anything about the blessing. History repeats it self and you want to wear it like a badge. You are suppose to learn from history so you don’t repeat the same mistakes, not to use it to drag yourself down. Your alternative history is interesting but we see God chose to use Moses in the Torah and not the later history that you refer to. Maybe God knows something that you don’t know! The people were scattered because they were rebellious and did evil things. They were not scattered be cause they were so righteous and had it all together. Learn to see things from Gods perspective and repent so He help you get back on track and stay there.
