1 Samuel 19:23-4
And he went there to Naioth in Ramah. And the Spirit of God came upon him also, and as he went he prophesied until he came to Naioth in Ramah. And he too stripped off his clothes, and he too prophesied before Samuel and lay naked all that day and all that night. Thus it is said, "Is Saul also among the prophets?"
Has the Spirit of God ever caused you to strip your clothes? Could the Sprit of God do this? IT seems the answer from scripture is yes. These verses just puzzle me...but then we have Jeremiah, I believe, also preaching naked for like 6 years I think?
Note I am not saying anything profane ever happened or endorsing anything profane whatsoever, but I am wondering about naked people in the Bible? If I were Samuel, I would have probably told Saul to dress himself and what does he think coming before me naked? That is unless the Lord told me otherwise, which it seems he told Samuel...
So what other nakedness in the Bible?
In the New Testament, we have that wierd guy who when Jesus was arrested, shed his one garment and ran away naked.
Adam and Eve were naked and felt no shame.
Jesus was naked on the cross.
I have always held streaking to be wrong, which I still believe, unless the Lord told you to? but I don't think he would tell you to; but how many streakers would be bold enough to preach to a crowd or prophesy naked?
It all just puzzles me...
May someone have wisdom enough from God to help me
