The story of Samson, the strongman of ancient Israel, begins with his discouraged, oppressed parents. When an angel brought to them a prophetic declaration about the coming birth of a son, hope began to return to their hearts. Eventually that hope would move from their hearts into all of Israel because the prophecy of Samson’s life was that he would set God’s people free from the oppressive Philistines. This message reveals the origin of Samson’s story: an angel, two desperate parents, and a nation in need of rescue.
