Hannah's Prayer
The great significance of her contribution to the bible should be recognised by all theology teachers and any who communicate the bible to others.
-Hannah coined the term "anointed" in her prayer.
-She's the opening figure of the books of Samuel that contain the central thought of fulfilling God's plan thru human co-operation.
-In those books 1&2 Samuel we can see how we can and should enjoy Christ as our portion.
-That being right with God is a condition of that relationship.
-It also shows the negative side of non co-operation with God in the history outlined in the lives of Eli and Saul.
-In giving Hannah a son to fulfill her desire of her heart she exemplified what praying in accordance to the will of Gods was about. God was also fulfilling His desire to replace the Aaronic priesthood with a Nazarite priesthood.
God's name is called on in prayer. The Judaists prayed directly as you can see from Hannah's prayer for example or from Mary's direct prayer in the New Testament.
When you look at Hannah's prayer it was to Him who was majestic and almost beyond reach.
That same prayer was echoed somewhat in Jesus' mother's prayer.
Almost disbelief that the Great I Am would condescend to speak to so small a creature.
But the Lord brought forth His will thru both of them.
Now Jesus is the mediator, thru the Holy Spirit, to the Great Unknown.
He's there and knowable....now we can go boldly. He is the I Am.
It's the knowing that brings us to Him. Not the accent or pronouncment you use to say His name.
Knowing who He is Christian's have further understanding so a clearer path home to our mother the New Jerusalem.
I've so much to say about Hannah that she deserves a thread of her own. It was thru her that God gained an example of Numbers 6:2 that was carried out thru Samuel.
John the Baptist gave up his Levitical priesthood's standing in the community to become a Nazarite forerunner to Christ.
