Asked of God
Mary’s song in Luke 1 obviously echoes that of Hannah in 1 Samuel 2.
Samuel and Jesus both ministered in a time of faithless priests, a time when the word of God was disregarded.
And the child Samuel grew in stature, and in favor both with Yahweh and men. (1 Sam 2:26)
And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men. (Luke 2:52)
During these times, and as a result of the work of Samuel-David-Solomon/Jesus, God abandoned his house, used his enemies to tear apart that house, then established a new house and subjugated those same enemies.
I gotta have my orange juice.
