## Resource

🔥 Join the Land of Israel Fellowship and journey through the Bible from Judea with believers worldwide: https://thelandofisrael.com/membership-tiers/ In today's episode of Prophets of Israel Daily, Ari Abramowitz and Jeremy Gimpel explore 1 Samuel 16—the dramatic anointing of David and the beginning of Israel's greatest dynasty. Discover why God rejected Saul, chose a humble shepherd from Bethlehem, and revealed the timeless truth: man looks at outward appearance, but God looks at the heart. Topics include: ✡️ Samuel's mission to Bethlehem ✡️ Why David was overlooked ✡️ The meaning of the horn of oil ✡️ The Spirit departing Saul and resting on David ✡️ The Davidic dynasty and the coming of Mashiach 📖 "For man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart." (1 Samuel 16:7) A powerful lesson on leadership, destiny, redemption, and God's surprising choices. 🙏 Today's Bracha is sponsored by Nancy Stenske in dedication to her mother, Rosemary Vocatura.
