Sweetly,

Yes.  The condition of the church plays a part, or suffers because of the horn broken off.
 
Israel suffered at the hands of the Philistines when Samson lost his hair.  Once his hair was shaved, there was nothing to stop his enemy from putting out his eyes.

The posterity of a man is his heir, and his children the apple of his eye.  Samson lost his hair and his eyes because his love for a woman.  The horn of his strength was broken.

Isa 49:20   The children which thou shalt have, after thou hast lost the other, shall say again in thine ears, The place [is] too strait for me: give place to me that I may dwell.

Isa 49:21   Then shalt thou say in thine heart, Who hath begotten me these, seeing I have lost my children, and am desolate, a captive, and removing to and fro? and who hath brought up these? Behold, I was left alone; these, where [had] they [been]?

Isa 49:22   Thus saith the Lord GOD, Behold, I will lift up mine hand to the Gentiles, and set up my standard to the people: and they shall bring thy sons in [their] arms, and thy daughters shall be carried upon [their] shoulders.

Isa 49:23   And kings shall be thy nursing fathers, and their queens thy nursing mothers: they shall bow down to thee with [their] face toward the earth, and lick up the dust of thy feet; and thou shalt know that I [am] the LORD: for they shall not be ashamed that wait for me.

Isa 49:24   Shall the prey be taken from the mighty, or the lawful captive delivered?

Isa 49:25   But thus saith the LORD, Even the captives of the mighty shall be taken away, and the prey of the terrible shall be delivered: for I will contend with him that contendeth with thee, and I will save thy children.

Isa 49:26   And I will feed them that oppress thee with their own flesh; and they shall be drunken with their own blood, as with sweet wine: and all flesh shall know that I the LORD [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the mighty One of Jacob.

We all get upset at Samson for telling Delilah the secret of his strength.  Samson did the right thing.  He loved a woman enough to lay his life down trusting her.  She on the other hand did not protect or “compass” the man with the secret of his heart.  She had no compassion for him.

A king’s daughter danced before the king and was offered half the kingdom, but she allowed her mother to rob her of her inheritance when she heeded to the hatred of her mother against the Baptist.  The horn of her strength was broken.

Do you see the picture that I am painting for you?

The horns of Ephraim and Manasseh must unite as horns of a unicorn.  Their union will bring forth Benjamin (the sons of my right hand, the sons of strength).  It is a nation born in a day.  From out of this nation will come the bride of Christ.
