1. It is no farce or exaggeration to say the Old Testament does bear witness of Christ.
2. We continued to develop the gospel testimony through the story of Hannah and Peninnah.
3. We observed that the two women represented the testimony of two covenants as Sarah and Hagar before them.
4. And as with Sarah, Hannah's womb was restrained by God from having a child, a God imposed inconvenience that brought a lot of sorrow and suffering to her, especially by the taunting of her rival, Peninnah.
5. Peninnah who carried the testimony of Hagar, the testimony of the mocking of the Law of those who are the children of promise.
6. But God answered Hannah's prayer and granted her a son, Samuel, who was to be raised as a Nazarite and dedicated to God.
7. Samuel had an unusual priesthood in that it violated the stipulations of the Levitical Priesthood which started at age 25 and ended at 50 (Numbers 8 vs 23-26). And yet, Samuel was committed to the LORD all his life proleptically looking to the eternal priesthood of Christ Jesus.
8. But Hannah later had a hymn of praise to God in which she blessed Him for removing the reproach from her.
9. She spoke many things in her prayer that we expounded and related them to the Lord Jesus Chris and the gospel-hence the title-the Christology of Hannah's prayer.
10. So many gospel nuggets to glean here and they are FREE.
