How Did She Know?

Hannah! What an amazing woman!  Knowing and hearing from GOD, to me, in a remarkable way. 

She prayed for a son. GOD gave her a son and she kept her word. Samuel grew up in the Tabernacle of The LORD. 
When Samuel was weaned she delivered him to Shiloh. In Chapter 2 her prayer is recorded for our learning. 

1 At that time Hannah prayed: “My heart rejoices in the LORD in whom my horn is exalted.  My mouth speaks boldly against my enemies, for I rejoice in Your salvation. 
2 There is no one holy like the LORD. Indeed, there is no one besides You! And there is no Rock like our God. 
3 Do not boast so proudly, or let arrogance come from your mouth, for the LORD is a God who knows, and by Him actions are weighed. 
4 The bows of the mighty are broken, but the feeble are equipped with strength. 
5 The well-fed hire themselves out for food, but the starving hunger no more. The barren woman gives birth to seven, but she who has many sons pines away. 
6 The LORD brings death and gives life;  He brings down to Sheol and raises up.

7 The LORD sends poverty and wealth; He humbles and He exalts. 
8 He raises the poor from the dust and lifts the needy from the ash heap.  He seats them among princes and bestows on them a throne of honor.  For the foundations of the earth are the LORD’s, and upon them He has set the world. 
9 He guards the steps of His faithful ones, but the wicked perish in darkness; for by his own strength shall no man prevail. 
10 Those who oppose the LORD will be shattered.  He will thunder from heaven against them.  The LORD will judge the ends of the earth and will give power to His king.  He will exalt the horn of His anointed.”   source 

HOLY SPIRIT, as people read this prayer that Hannah voiced to You, LORD GOD, please enable us to hear from You; to see what You have here for us in these words preserved by You for us. Truly, You are holy and there is no Rock like You. Only by revelation could Hannah have spoken these words. Words that seem to me to be prophetic; words that will yet come to be and words that are fulfilled in You, ADONAI YESHUA. Thank You for preserving Your Word for us through all these thousands of years and thank You for making Your Word live in each of us who believe You.

 I am assuming this is an accurate map.  Hannah and Elkanah made this trip at least once a year. 01-1-Samuel-Ramah-Shiloh-Jerusalem-copyright-stephen-m-miller-1000px
Here is the LINK to where I found it. HERE.
I am not by my use herein endorsing the above-linked website, I am just offering the map and information about Ramah and Shiloh for your consideration.

1 Samuel. I hope you will read it.

Got Bread?

They left the House of Bread because there was no bread.  

Book of Ruth

Bethlehem means House of Bread.
How appropriate as the BREAD of Life John 6:35 Bread of Life. would be born in Bethlehem numerous generations after Naomi returned home with her daughter-in-law Ruth. 
People purported to be more learned than I say Naomi left Bethlehem for Moab in 1294 BC.  And that she returned along with Ruth in 1284 BC.  (source)
That’s numerous generations before Joseph and Mary journeyed to Bethlehem for the census, making sure the prophecy would be fulfilled. Yeshua was born in Bethlehem. 

I hope you are encouraged today to know ALL the prophecies of GOD come to be, always have, and always will.  

Boaz. 
Their Kinsman Redeemer. A man of honor.  Read a portion of what he said to Ruth that day she came to his field. 

11 Boaz replied, “I have been made fully aware of all you have done for your mother-in-law since the death of your husband, how you left your father and mother and the land of your birth, and how you came to a people you did not know before. 12 May the LORD repay your work, and may you receive a rich reward from the LORD, the God of Israel, under whose wings you have taken refuge.”  source 

I see him as a gentle, thoughtful, resourceful man; not prone to rash decisions, but rather one who investigates matters thoroughly and then takes action. 
Do you see that about him in these verses?
