Saul : first king of Israel (c.1021-1000 BC).
... Christians. The new religion was at first only a Jewish sect, ignored by the rest of the world and bitterly opposed by many Jews. At this critical point the conversion of Saul of Tarsus enabled Christianity to broaden its appeal. Saul, though Greek in education and Roman in citizenship, was a fiercely orthodox Jew who felt it was his duty to attack the Christians. In the midst of his campaign he suffered... themselves in what is now known as Palestine, which they conquered from the Cannanites. The twelve tribes were then united in one kingdom with its capital at Jerusalem. After the first three kings (Saul, David, Solomon), there was secession and two kingdoms were created (Israel and Judah). After 750 BC, the kingdom of Israel disappeared forever, with the establishment of the Assyrian Empire. The smaller ...
... is biased; (ii) there is little to support his arguments for dating the Exodus a few weeks prior to the Hyksos invasion of Egypt; (iii) the Amalekites are certainly not the Hyksos; (iv) Saul cannot possibly be contemporaneous with Ahmose I who drove the Hyksos out of Egypt; (v) Velikovsky has doctored evidence to make it seem that Hatshepsut, who did not journey abroad, is Queen of... for Joseph is to be accepted, we have to reject the sojourn of 430 years by the Israelites in Egypt as it would take us to 1140 B.C. for the Exodus, leaving no time for the numerous Judges preceding Saul, who is dated between 1020 and 1000 B.C. Sethna proceeds to demolish conclusively Albright's thesis of Joseph existing in the period of a Hyksos Pharaoh by mounting a seven-point attack combining ammunition ...
... experience granted to Paul; for in Acts Luke distinguishes sharply between Jesus' appearances 'to the apostles whom he had chosen' (1:2) during forty days before his ascension and the experience of Saul [=Paul by his Jewish name] on the road to Damascus which took place considerably later." To resolve the issue we have brought up about Paul's pre- Page 165 decessors... up now and go into the city, and you will be told what you have to do." 119 And in Acts 9:15 the Christian Ananias of Damascus, who had a vision of Saul's arrival but who protests to the Lord that Saul has harmed Christians, is told by the Lord: "You must go all the same, because this man is my chosen instrument to bring my name before pagans and pagan kings and before the people of Israel." 120 ...
... is suggested also by the third of the three accounts in Acts of Paul's conversion. In the course of his speech to King Agrippa, Paul is made to recount: "...I heard a voice saying to me in Hebrew, 'Saul, why are you persecuting me? It is hard for you, kicking like this against the goad' "(26:14). 10 The Jerusalem Bible 11 clarifies Page 240 the last phrase: "Greek proverb for ...

... comparison, but they are the embodiments, the living forms of truths experienced in another world. When a Mystic refers to the Solar Light or to the Fire-the light, for example, that struck down Saul and transformed him into Saint Paul or the burning bush that visited Moses, it is Page 9 not the physical or material object that he means and yet it is that in a way. It is the materialization ...
... and political configuration, and regard that alone as one's nation is to miss the truth of its inner and inmost existence. The acorn gives no hint of the oak, or the caterpillar of the butterfly. Saul keeps St. Paul cocooned in himself. We have to see - and how can we, unless we develop the inner sight and the intuitive vision? - also its sūksma or subtle body, and the kārana or causal. It ...

Is Saul also among the prophets? Does Bipin too stand in the doorway of Britannia? The first three or four issues of Swaraj disappointed our expectations. A sense of the unreality of his position seemed ...
... when, as Hoyle says, it "separates" for service. In the story in Acts (13:2) of the Church's first deliberate expedition to the Gentile world, the Holy Spirit said: "Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them." The "power" that the Holy Spirit is can choose to take even a living shape, a visible and tangible one according to Luke when it "descended" on Jesus at ...

... they had to contend for long with hostile peoples and conditions. This eventually compelled the Twelve Tribes —ruled so far by 'judges' —to set up monarchy (around 1025 B.C.). The first chosen king, Saul, was followed by David and his son, Solomon. It was David who conquered Jerusalem and made it the national capital. And it was Solomon who built the first Temple there during his forty years' reign ...
