blocks)
(1
Sam 17:38,39) And Saul
[the unanointed king] armed
David [the anointed king; (are
you anointed?)] with his armour
[to fight Goliath], and he [Saul] put an helmet [representing
his thoughts] of brass [sin] upon his [David’s] head;
also he armed him with a coat of mail [probably “of
brass” 1 Sam 17:5 (sin)]. And David girded his [Saul’s] sword upon his [Saul’s] armour, and he
assayed [hesitated] to go; for he had
not proved [Heb: tested: tried] it. And David said
unto Saul, I cannot go with these; for I have not proved them. And David put them off him.
1.
David
= Heb: loving. [are you loving?]
2.
Goliath
= Heb: exile /// to denude (especially
in a disgraceful sense); (captives being usually stripped); fig. to
reveal:
disclose, uncover.
a.
exile
= Dict: gen. an exile, one banished, to wander aimlessly. 1. a
prolonged living
away from one’s country, community, etc., usually enforced; banishment.
[exactly as the fallen angels]
b.
Commentary:
And no surprise
because Goliath was a giant, a
descendant of the union of fallen
angels and women (Gen 6:1-4), estimated to be taller than a
large
rearing-up horse (1200 lbs), but much thicker and weightier. Goliath
personifies the supernatural strength, power, aggressiveness and
deadliness of sin. He brings death.
3.
brass
= Heb: copper; fig. base (as compared with gold or silver): brasen, filthiness [i.e., sin].
4.
(1
Sam 16:13,14) Then Samuel took the horn of
oil, and anointed him [David] in the
midst of his brethren: and the Spirit of the LORD came
upon David from that day forward.
So Samuel rose up, and went to Ramah. But
the Spirit of the LORD departed from Saul, and an evil spirit from
the LORD troubled [Heb: to
fear: be (make) afraid, terrified] him
[fear is the opposite of love].
a.
Commentary:
In three
different circumstances: “Then God sent
an evil spirit” (Judg 9:23); “an evil
spirit from the LORD” (1
Sam 16:14,15,16,23; 1 Sam 18:10;19:9); “the LORD hath put
a lying spirit
in the mouth of” (1 Kings 22:23; 2 Chron 18:22).
5.
(1 John 4:18) There is no fear in love; but perfect [Heb: complete (growth, mental and moral character): of full
age] love casteth out fear: because
fear hath torment. He that feareth is
not made perfect in love.
a.
(1
Sam 17:10,11) And the Philistine [Goliath] said, I defy the armies of
(1 Sam 17:40) And he [David] took his staff [Heb: stick; (for walking,
striking, guiding, divining): rod] in his hand,
and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook [Heb: stream] [i.e., out of the moving
water, the sharp edges of the stones continually being worn away by the
action
of the water (Holy Spirit) rubbing stone
against stone in the moving water (iron sharpeneth iron)], and put them in a
shepherd's bag which he had, even in a
scrip [Heb:
a traveling pouch (as
if for gleanings)];
and his sling was in his hand [Heb: power: ministry]: and he drew near to the
Philistine [Heb:
rolling: migratory ///
to roll (in dust): (wallow) self].
1.
(Prov
27:17) Iron
[Heb: iron (as cutting)] sharpeneth iron;
so a man sharpeneth the
countenance of his friend [i.e., a very
good thing].
a.
(Rev
19:15) And
out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he
should smite
the nations: and he shall rule them with a
rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and
wrath of
Almighty God.
2.
sling
= Dict: a primitive
instrument for throwing stones [metaphorically,
stones are people in the Bible], etc., consisting
of a piece of
leather tied to cords that are whirled by hand for releasing the
missile; same
as slingshot. [the sling, in this case, representing
the action of the Holy Spirit]
3.
(Eph
4:7-12) But unto
every one of us [who are stones
in the “river of water of life” Rev 22:1 ] is given grace
according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he
saith, When he ascended up on high, he
led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he
also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that
descended is
the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might
fill all
things.) And he gave some, apostles;
and some, prophets; and some,
evangelists; and some, pastors
and teachers; For the perfecting
of the saints, for the work of the
ministry, for the edifying [Gk:
architecture, structure: building] of the body of Christ:
(1
Sam 17:41) And the Philistine
came on and drew near unto
David; and the man that bare the shield went
before him [first
Bible mention was: “one bearing a shield went before him” 1 Sam 17:7].
1.
shield
= Dict: 1. a broad
piece of protective armor carried in the hand or worn on the forearm to
ward
off blows or missiles. 2. any person or thing that guards, protects, or
defends.
2.
Commentary:
The latter verse
is a major end-time prophecy currently
visible of the fake-news media
(the “man”) shielding, defending Goliath (sin) and protecting Obama’s “
(1
Sam 17:42) And when the
Philistine looked about, and saw
David, he disdained him [Heb: (held
him) contemptible]: for he was but
a youth [perhaps about 15 years old],
and ruddy [Heb: reddish (of the hair
or the complexion)], and of a fair [Heb:
beautiful] countenance.
(1
Sam 17:48-51) And it came to
pass, when the Philistine
arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hasted [Heb: to be liquid or flow easily] [i.e.,
David was flowing in the Spirit],
and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine. And David put his hand
in his
bag, and took thence a stone
[either an apostle, prophet, evangelist, pastor, or teacher], and slang it, and smote the
Philistine in his forehead [i.e., amongst his
thoughts (the “strong
holds” of fallen angels: 2 Cor 10:4)],
that the stone sunk into his forehead [thoughts,
fallen angels];
and he fell upon his face to the earth [prostrate
before God in David].
So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling [the Holy Spirit] and with a stone [a
redeemed fallen angel], and smote
the Philistine, and slew him [spiritually]; but there was no sword in
the hand of David. Therefore David
ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his [Goliath’s] sword, and drew
it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him
[physically], and cut
off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion
was
dead, they fled.
1.
Commentary:
“a stone” = keeping his eyes focused on
the enemy Goliath (1 Pet 5:8), David took a stone of the five out of
his
shepherd’s bag and slang it. Which stone
of the five did David use? It didn’t matter, and that is why David
did not
have to look for which stone to use. Why didn’t it matter? Because
every stone in the brook of running moving (ministering) water was empowered by God’s Holy Spirit.
Amen
