“To Assist the Perception, Discernment of the Primal Roots of Levitical Patriarchism in Leadership ”
I SAMUEL OUTLINE of the story of Eli and his sons in I Samuel:
I. Introduction
Eli was a priest and a judge in Israel during the time of the judges
He had two sons named Hophni and Phinehas who were also priests (who had earned the regional nickname “the sons of Belial” (sons of the devil)
II. The sins of Hophni and Phinehas: Eli’s Office Temple Staff, 2 Associate pastors
Hophni and Phinehas were corrupt and selfish priests who abused their authority
They would take portions of the sacrifices for themselves and sleep with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting
Their actions were a direct violation of God’s laws and showed disrespect for their role as priests
III. God’s judgment on Eli’s family
God sent a prophet to Eli to warn him of the judgment that would come upon his family.]
The prophet foretold that both of Eli’s sons would die on the same day, and that his family would no longer serve as priests in Israel.
IV. The death of Hophni and Phinehas
The Israelites went to battle against the Philistines, and Hophni and Phinehas brought the ark of the covenant with them as a good luck charm
The Israelites were defeated, and the ark was captured by the Philistines
Hophni and Phinehas were killed in the battle, just as the prophet had foretold
V. The death of Eli
When Eli heard the news of the battle and the capture of the ark, he fell backwards and broke his neck, dying instantly
With the death of Eli and his sons, the priesthood in Israel was left without a clear leader, and the ark of the covenant was lost to the Philistines
VI. Conclusion
The story of Eli and his sons is a cautionary tale about the dangers of abusing authority and disrespecting God’s laws
The consequences of their actions had far-reaching consequences for themselves and for the entire nation of Israel.
LEVITICAL PATRIACH “ME TOO” OLD TESTAMENT TYPE CLEANSE?
SUBMITTING as Food for Thought: Was this top ministry office a type of “Misogynist Old Testament Form of a Me Too (“use of God’s judgment term the Ichabod”)
The actions of Hophni and Phinehas in I Samuel 2-4, where they “lay with the women who served at the entrance to the tent of meeting” can be seen as a form of sexual abuse and harassment. This behavior is a serious issue and has been a concern for women throughout history.
The #MeToo movement, which gained prominence in recent years, is a movement that seeks to raise awareness about and address issues of sexual harassment and assault, particularly in the workplace. The movement has highlighted the prevalence of such abuse and the need for better protection for those who experience it.
While the story of Eli and his sons predates the modern-day #MeToo movement, it is an example of the ways in which abuse of power can lead to mistreatment and exploitation of vulnerable people, including women. The story highlights the importance of holding those in positions of authority accountable for their actions and working to prevent such abuses from happening in the first place.
There is no more today. Keeping it simple, straightforward, and in the Bible, REASONS I have repeatedly wanted to address ELI and both his staff well born son, since 2020’s in ministry DFW Texas. I want to edit and repost each of these but not here.
REASONS: We ‘researching’ early Bible, for signs, hints of any foundations of modern Day “Christian” ministry misogyny, bias and “using /abusing” or defiling of any attending Christians, and in this case we focus on God’s FEMALES
Reasons ..for GOD’S MOVE which must respect and value and be pure toward EVERYONE females, males, visitors, single women and all races, genders, and STYLES ..meaning even NON CHRISTIANS
More coming later
SOLE HOPEFUL TRUE PURPOSES
MAKING THIS POINT: This may be God’s last move..so we need to make sure each and every size, age, gender,look, style, vibe, energy and color of ANY TYPE of human person is RESPECTED and MINISTRY VALUED.
