And Manoah said unto his wife, We shall surely die, because we have seen God. But his wife said unto him, If the LORD were pleased to kill us, he would not have received a burnt offering and a meat offering at our hands, neither would he have shewed us all these things, nor would as at this time have told us such things as these.
(Judges 13:22-23)
1/ A reason for death - We shall surely die, because we have seen God.
2/ Two different conclusions in viewing the same event.
3/ The reasons for life
- An offering received
- What has been shown us
- What has been told us
- The timing of the telling
