Every year Elkanah went from Ramah to worship and offer sacrifices to the Lord Almighty at Shiloh, where Hophni and Phinehas, the two sons of Eli, were priests of the Lord.
(1 Samuel 1:3) GNT
How do you know if a prophet really is a prophet? If the things that he says are going to happen, do happen. Now we need to choose a wallpaper for the Book of 1 Samuel.
As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him and made come true everything that Samuel said. So all the people of Israel, from one end of the country to the other, knew that Samuel was indeed a prophet of the Lord. The Lord continued to reveal himself at Shiloh, where he had appeared to Samuel and had spoken to him. And when Samuel spoke, all Israel listened.
(1 Samuel 3:19-21) GNT
What is the link between Shiloh in the Bible and Shiloh, Tennessee?
In the summer of 1994, while OJ was threatening to commit suicide in his white Ford Bronco followed by a fleet of cops, we were establishing permanent vegetation monitoring plots at several National Military Parks including Shiloh Battlefield, Tennessee.
That was where we stepped on the biggest snake we had ever seen, a Water Mockasin. He didn’t like the look of us and he left without a fight.
Still, we need to figure out the connection between Shiloh Battlefield in 1862 and Shiloh where the time of the Judges came to a nasty end. It should be obvious.
Salvation
