The liberals are in trouble

In our Hebrew class at the college yesterday we studied the song of Hannah. We have been going through the book of 1 Samuel - but we only have four weeks left in the semester and we are just beginning chapter 2 - we must pick up the pace if we want to finish the rest of the book in four weeks :-)

In any case, in 2:10 it reads: 1 Samuel 2:10 "Those who contend with the LORD will be shattered; Against them He will thunder in the heavens, The LORD will judge the ends of the earth; And He will give strength to His king, And will exalt the horn of His anointed."
When Hannah sang this she made two comments that the liberals are desperate to redact:

(1) The mention of a "KING" - because when Hannah sang this, there was NO king in Israel. In fact, this is the time of the judges - Judges 21:25 5 In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

(2) The mention of the "Anointed" - in Heb - m'schicho. It literally reads, "His anointed one." She is speaking of the coming Messiah - the Lord Jesus Christ who would come 1100 years later. She understands that Israel is in dire need of a deliverer and only Yahweh can provide that one - in fact, that deliverer must be God Himself - which is exactly what the NT portrays in the person of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Praise be to God for this powerful verse that exemplifies the omniscience, foreknowledge and sovereignty of God Almighty!
