Description
“On whom the ends of the ages are come”—i. e., the end of one age and the beginning of another. Such is our position to-day. In every direction the old order is giving place to the new. It was thus in the days of the Primitive Church, when the typical institutions of the Levitical system were being replaced by “the heavenly things themselves.” And it was also thus at the time when our narrative begins. The story of Samuel is a divine interlude between the days of the Judges and those of David the King.
Hitherto the High Priesthood had been the supreme authority recognised in the Hebrew Commonwealth. To Moses, its founder, there could be of course no successor; but Aaron was the first of an unbroken line of priests. No other office stood for the whole of Israel. The Mosaic era, however, was not destined to culminate in the rule of the Priest, who has seldom combined the sacerdotal functions with the special qualifications that constitute a great leader and ruler. Too often the reign of the Churchman has been warped by bigotry, tyranny, and the repression of the nobler aspirations of mankind. The Priest was to make way for the King.
A suggestion that a fresh development of the Hebrew polity was near occurs in the closing verses of the Book of Ruth, with which this book is connected by the conjunction now. The genealogy which is the evident climax of that sweet pastoral story closes, has no connection with Aaron or his line. It expressly deals with the tribe of Judah, of which nothing was spoken concerning the priesthood. Evidently the Divine purpose was moving forward—but whither? At the time its goal was not apparent; but as we look back on all the circumstances from the vantage-ground of accomplished fact, we can see that it was slowly moving towards the establishment of the kingdom under David; and veiled from all eyes there was the yet profounder movement towards the revelation of “that Proper Man,” as Luther calls Him, in whose nature, fitly known as Wonderful, the priestly, the prophetic, and the royal blend in perfect symmetry and beauty.

This book reads in an elegant way, packed with astounding and moving insight. I couldn't wait to read the next section. The vivid depiction of Samuel's character in contrast with Eli and his sons' condition, as well as the powerful life of prayer that the prophet led. It's inspiring reading, really, underscoring the need for purity in heart ..."Speak, Lord, for thy servant listens!"The way Meyer depicts the fall of Israel in desiring a king, to be "like other nations" is also an amazing section. The hopeful choice of Saul, who was sovereignly chosen, yet selected as a king the people, in their sinfulness, deserved is also compelling.
There are too many gems to reveal in a review. I am deeply thankful for Meyer and his devotion to commit his insight to paper, probably over 100 years ago, and for those who have made these works available on Kindle (for .99!). I have a far greater understanding of Scripture after reading each of his devotionals.
I highly recommend this book, as well as all the others this humble servant of God has composed.

Was looking for a bio of Samuel but this author was super Protestant. Unreliable. Hopefully can find an orthodox Catholic perspective.
Must read for all believers
excellent
Great book and quick delivery
What I was looking for and came with fast shipping
Quality resource in its field
I never fully considered Samuel's role as God's servant during a long life filled with rapidly changing cultural, political and religious shifts. I loved this! His eye was always on what God was doing, not what the men of his time were doing. We need a Samuel today!
