Saul and the Witch
Historical Account★★★Saul and the witch v. 14 is either a real appearance, allowed by God to announce Saul’s doom to him, or a pre- tended appearance due to evil spirits. Seems to be real here, for Samuel came not at the woman’s be- hest (note her fright and astonishment) but by Jehovah’s command.
The point
This illustration examines whether Samuel's appearance to Saul through the witch of Endor was a genuine divine intervention or a demonic deception, concluding it was real because Samuel came not by the woman's power but by God's command.
