Infant Prophet Samuel Speaks Tells Testament
EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts the pivotal moment when the young prophet Samuel receives his divine calling from God in the Old Testament of the Bible. Born in the late 11th century BCE in the ancient Israelite town of Ramah, Samuel was raised in the temple under the care of the high priest Eli. One fateful night, as a child, Samuel heard a voice calling his name. Unable to discern the source of the voice, he ran to Eli for guidance. Eli, recognizing the hand of God, instructed Samuel to respond, "Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening." In this print, we see the young Samuel, clad in simple robes and with an expression of awe and reverence, as he listens intently to the voice of God. The dimly lit temple setting, with its intricately carved columns and ornate furnishings, adds to the sense of otherworldliness and mystery. The use of chiaroscuro lighting further emphasizes the divine presence, casting long shadows and illuminating the figures of Samuel and God. This momentous event marked the beginning of Samuel's illustrious career as a prophet, during which he played a crucial role in the history of ancient Israel. He anointed both Saul and David as kings, and provided guidance and counsel to both monarchs throughout their reigns. Samuel's prophecies and intercessions on behalf of his people helped to strengthen their faith and fortify their resolve in the face of adversity. This print serves as a poignant reminder of the profound impact that divine intervention can have on the lives of individuals and the course of history. The image of the young Samuel, humbly receiving the word of God, continues to inspire and captivate audiences, offering a glimpse into the deep spiritual connection between the divine and the human.
