The way that Samson died gives a glimpse into what was happening to him before he died, just as they were manipulating him then as well. And then we can also read about how the Israelites were already in sin at the time that Samson was on the scene, and through this we can discern that the Israelites were attempting to manipulate God, as they had not completely driven out the inhabitants of the Promised Land though they had conquered the Promised Land, and had then began to worship the Gentiles gods, such as Baal, but still wanted God's goodness.

Firstly, what kind of prosperity did the children of Israel have, after leaving Egypt? They were able to take bread with them, but they were not able to leaven their bread before they left. Leaven is usually a symbol for sin, though when there is the oneness of God, it can also symbolize the things in God's kingdom, just as with the parable that Jesus gave. But firstly leaven usually symbolizes sin, as it symbolizes something being mixed, and not just being naturally pure. In this way, we may know that the children of Israel did not have the things that would accompany sufficiency and abundance, as far as being able to PHYSICALLY prosper at the time they left Egypt. Secondly, it came forth very quickly, that they had no water.

After leaving Egypt, the Egyptians began to follow the Israelites so as to not actually let them leave. And it was at this time that the Israelites complained at the Red Sea, and they rebelled in doing so. And in this, they were afraid for their PHYSICAL lives. Next, they complained and rebelled when they had no water, and they complained and rebelled not only against God, but Moses as well, as they PHYSICALLY did not seem to have what they needed for prosperity and their livelihood.

Where was God in all of this? He was with them spiritually. The doctrine of works comes into saying that the first thing the Israelites did was leave Egypt, thus showing obedience to first be physically outworked. But that is false, because when we first spiritually receive God, our first outworking is to spiritually prepare the way. And regarding the example of the Israelites leaving Egypt, we may know that the Promised Land was prepared through Abraham, up unto when Joseph was in Egypt.

To say that we firstly physically move when God spiritually comes to us, is how religion mixes into what God wants to give, whether the religion is legalism or new age. And this is the type of hypocrisy that the religious leaders had in Jesus' day, through their pride. And this is again why Jesus told them to first make the inside clean.

Our spiritual preparing of the way when God first comes to us, is to firstly receive His foreknowledge, so that we can know who He is, who we are, what to do, and how to do it. And this takes laying down our physical lives, as a sacrifice. So what is it that we physically lay down? Is it just our own desires and nature, so as to not want anything? No, this is again what the religious leaders in Jesus' day were doing, but this is the false humility side of it. Why, and how though? Because aren't we supposed to firstly 'let go and let God' and physically do everything that we need to do to be able to be in position to receive God's Promise if it is something He wants to give? Firstly, even having the doubt of whether or not something is God's will is wrong. And secondly, the only way to be able to actually lay corruption down, is to WHOLLY do it, which means the truth of the new birth, and not just confessing that we are sinners, and that we are going to try to live up to God's standard. When we physically lay down our lives what we are doing is getting rid of even having the mind or attitude which makes decisions based on what we think is possible, as this also correlates to merely attempting to live up to the standard of the sinful nature, and what is and or isn't possible with it. The very definition of what is and what isn't possible with the sinful nature is the mixing of Babylon, as mixing is included in Babylon's name. The path that this leads onto, is the one in which people walk by sight, the flesh, and works, as they think they are good and right, but still do not possess the oneness of God. And the oneness of God does not merely mean "God is in charge." The foundation of merely believing that "God is in charge" is the same foundation that leads people into thinking that discipline means that we gain our own will and initiative. Because when people begin to attempt to do that, though they may claim God's oneness, if they don't have the foundation of the new birth, by which they know that they are born again incorruptible, perfect, and sinless, they aren't really in His oneness, and they are only being self-willed, no matter what kind of works they may seem to have.

So, regarding God's severity, we first see how emphasis is placed first on the new birth, and being one with Him, by which we may even firstly have the true foundation to build on, and this includes us not thinking or believing that we are sinners, as well as wanting to be sinners, not to mention making decisions, also pertaining to what is possible with God, and what His will is, when the basis for the decisions are found in what is possible according to being a sinner.

After this, even after the shortcomings that happened between Meribah and coming unto the Promised Land, emphasis is secondly placed on His Promises. In this way, we may see how walking according to receiving His Promises or not, also leads unto falling away beyond repentance, or not. What happened when they had reached the Promised Land? They gave an evil report because they were afraid of the giants in the land. The giants represent the things which are impossible for man, but possible with God, in regards to having victory and overcoming. And Jesus said that all things are possible with God. Therefore, as the Israelites gave the evil report, they again showed that they had not really believed God, as far as being new, being one with Him, loving Him, and having Him as their God. Just as they had unbelief regarding what was possible with Him, and what He could do. That is so wicked, because it denies God. What love for God can there be, if someone does not believe in Him, and abide in His oneness? None. Why? Because then they are only walking, as if honoring Him with the lips, and not with the heart, and thus not partaking of His fullness, though they may have tasted of His good will, purpose, and gifts.

So what can we say, in regards to what has to be dealt with, regarding loving God, spiritually receiving God, laying down corruption, and receiving His Promises? Is it all dependant upon how much corruption there is in and or over someone, concerning what they will receive from Him, and what He will offer them? No! That is again attempting to follow God, based upon the foundation of corruption. Therefore if the only foundation for renewal is found in how things couldn't happen because there was corruption or a lack of knowledge, then there can not be any renewal, but only the fearful expectation of His wrath. Just as Esau tried to find the place of repentance, and even looked for it with tears, but could not. In this same way, the Israelites wandered in the desert for 40 years, and were told that they would never enter into His rest. This is why commitment is so important, as it is also the foundation for His severity. Therefore, regarding preparing the way, and counting the cost as another parable says, if someone is not going to wholly leave the things that are corrupted, but are still going to attempt to claim any kind of rightness, goodness, or Promises, there is not a sacrifice that can atone for them, as in only having the foundation of their repentance cling to them having sinned because they are sinners. And this is what Hebrews is talking about regarding willfully sinning and falling away beyond repentance and the possibility of renewal. And so, regarding people who did not leave Egypt, but died, they still died without receiving the Promise of renewal, and the good things that were Promised under Abraham, let alone what was promised through Moses, though they might not have fallen away so as to be the unprofitable servant. This is why we see people like Samson, or like Kurt Cobain, who did not fall away beyond repentance. So why can people like Samson and Kurt Cobain be saved, while others who might even have less iniquity can fall away beyond repentance? This is why Jesus gave the parable of counting the cost. This is why if someone doesn't have full commitment in what they do, then they shouldn't expect to be renewed regarding anything. And that is the difference regarding someone calling themselves faithful or not, as Moses was fully committed, though he wasn’t given to enter the Promised Land, but had not fallen away beyond repentance. But what about Samson? His testimony was that he had done unto them as they had done unto him, even though he was fully faithful spiritually, but physically did things that others may or may not think he was blameless in. What did the Israelites who fell away do? They wanted to go back to Egypt, and even said that it would have been better for them if they would have stayed in Egypt. In this, we can see how repentance works, and how it is possible to fall away beyond repentance, and no longer be renewed, just as there must be FULL and WHOLE repentance, for there to be renewal, and it must concern more than just being sorrowful for the consequences of corruption.

There is more love for the Spirit, in knowing that there is not going to be renewal, and not just letting go of the sorrow, as Jesus did when He spoke Psalm 22 and cried out to God from the cross. This is also what Hezekiah did, just as the Bible speaks about him turning to the wall, and speaking about living the rest of his days out in bitterness. But Hezekiah and Jesus received restoration, so why and how did the Israelites fall away beyond repentance and renewal? Because Hezekiah and Jesus left the renewal and restoration up to God. But isn't this just like saying 'let go and let God?' No. Because Hezekiah and Jesus chose to rather bear the sorrow of God, then to just let it go. And that is the foundation for the be-attitudes, and for the testimonies found in Hebrews 11. What salvation, renewal, and repentance can there be in bearing sorrow as Hezekiah and Jesus chose to do, when Philippians shows Paul speaking about letting go? Does the renewal, repentance, and salvation come from God? Or does it come from someone worshiping a golden calf, which was a symbol for prosperity, as the calf gave clothing and even the ability to give milk and meat in the future. And the root of the idol being a calf and not a full grown cow or bull, is found in how the graceful condemnation and false humility which was a part of the veil, allowed them to think that they still had child like faith and humility, though it wasn't for God's fullness.
