The central axis of the structure highlights that the Spirit of God came mightily upon Saul, and he delivered Israel from her enemies. This is the Teaching Tool of History that Prophesies. The anointed king of Israel operates in the Spirit of God to deliver Israel from her enemies. Messiah Yeshua is that King who has delivered all spiritual Israel from her enemy, satan, and will deliver all natural Israel from her enemies, the kingdoms of this world, upon His return.
