To all things, there is a purpose.
It was the time of the judges.
The Lord had punished the children
of Israel for their sins against him.
He had delivered them
into the hands of the Philistines.
Conquerors of the people of Israel...
... they exploitedtheir empire
with cruel efficiency.
But they were also
an advanced people.
In a world of bronze,
they had discovered the secret of iron.
And with this, they crushed any
disobedience swiftly and without mercy.
God's punishment
of the people of Israel was severe...
... but he did not abandon them.
And theirfaith grew in their struggle
against theirPhilistine oppressors.
Do not fear, woman.
The Lord of life has not forgotten you
in your barrenness.
I am the messenger come to tell you
that your womb will bear fruit.
You will conceive a son,
a Nazaritededicated to God.
He will eat no unclean food
and drink no strong drink.
And he will grow stronger
than a hundred men.
He is the Lord's gift,
chosen to begin the liberation...
... of your people from the Philistine.
Look through me, and you will see
where his future lies.
As a mark of obedience to the Lord...
... his hair shallnever be cut.
This shall be the symbol
of his alliance with God...
... and of his consecration to him.
His strengthresides in the Lord.
This secret is his and yours alone.
Do not break this pact
with the almighty.
Manoah!
A man back there at the well...
A strange man. Listen to me.
He appeared to me at the well.
- A Philistine?
- No.

No. A stranger.
- What are you talking about?
- Listen to me.
'The Lord of life, ' he said.
He said...
... I would conceive
and give birth to a son.
And if he said we were rich,
would you believe that too?
He was an apparition. It was...
It was like a miracle.
Mara...
... you are barren.
You know that.
I have lain...
... with no one but you, Manoah.
The child will be ours.
And a gift to our people.
And the land yielded its harvest.
And upon it, God began to sow
the seeds of justice for his people.
For they did not bow down
their heads...
... or worship the false idols
of their masters.
But after 40 long years...
... deliverance was at hand
for the children of Israel.
Their prayers had been heard
by the God with no face...
... and a name that is never spoken.
The one true God.
Do you...
... want to hold him?
But he's so small.
I might drop him.
- Amen.
- Amen.
Samson.
Father...
... how will I know when it is time
to fulfill my destiny?
The Lord will tell you.
- When?
- When the time is right.
- A sign?
- Perhaps.
What kind of a sign?
I don't know.
He gave you strength.
He will also give you understanding.
I am but one man. One.
A Nazaritebonded to the Lord.
There's no need to search for signs.
Your birth was the sign.
The stranger said,
'Chosen to deliver his people'?
Those were his words.
To deliver his people.
It will be hard.
Every gift is also a burden.
- Father says he's lazy.
- And slow-witted.
Samson.
Put them in the net!
- Samson.
- Let me down.
- Samson, no.
- Let me out of this net now.
Samson, get us down.
Samson, get us out of here.
Stop, Samson. Stop.
- Let me out.
- Samson, stop now.
- Let me down out of this net.
- Samson.
- Samson.
- Let us down.
Let us down now!
Samson was gentle,
good, thoughtful...
... and unsure, as all men are,
of the purpose of his life.
He began to walk the long road
to understanding and faith.
