In 1st Samuel 3, the boy Samuel hears God’s voice. It’s a foretelling of God’s judgment on high priest Eli’s family line as priests because of Eli’s leniency with his sons’ behavior that had turned people against God.
Food for thought from the recorded discussion
Is the sin Eli and his sons had committed (see 1st Samuel 2) similar to the “sin unto death” that the apostle Yokhanan mentions in 1st John 5:16-17?
Was Eli abusing his authority as High Priest by adjuring Samuel’s revelation of God’s curse in this manner?
How is the passage of the curse on Eli’s household similar to how ministers of God today tolerate sin?
When did the events of 1st Samuel 3 occur?
How is the prophesy to Samuel a “second witness”?
What is the "lamp of God" in 1st Sam. 3:3? When was the lamp lit, and how long was it to remain lit? What are the rules regarding the lighting the lamp? What job or function was Eli training Samuel to perform?
Are prophets trained or called?
Why did Eli call Samuel “my son” (1st Sam. 3:6)?
What is the difference between a priest and a prophet?
How often does the phrase “every one that hears it shall tingle.” appear in scripture (see Jer. 19:3)? What event does that phrase portend?
What does 1st Sam. 3:19 tell us about how much God loved Samuel and vice versa?
What is the spiritual purpose of the lamp of God (see Revelation 3)?
Why was the lamp designed to look like an almond branch or almond tree? When does the almond tree bloom? Why is the almond important to God?
What did God produce with Samuel?
