Essential Studies.
Judges 13 and 14, Samson, a Messiah type (Additional studies: Judges Index)
According to Ussher, 1137 BC is the year of Samson’s dispute over his Philistine bride. According to the encyclopedia, 438 BC is the earliest production of Euripides’ plays, the Greek writer who provides us with the first written record of the legends of Hercules. I submit to you that Samson is the original hero and deliverer, whose strength was so great, that he passed into legend. The Greeks heard of a great hero with supernatural strength, who had slain a lion with his bare hands, and they borrowed this bit of biblical history (as they did in so many other instances) and made him a Greek hero instead. When the modern critics try to tell you that the history of Samson is a late Hebrew copy of a Greek myth, you can tell them that they have it exactly backwards, for the Greeks copied all their mythology from other sources, as Herodotus is not shy to point out.
