the whole chapter is a great read on this topic in the plough section

I Samuel 17:47 "And all this assembly shall know that the Lord saveth not with sword and spear: for the battle is the Lord's, and He will give you into our hands."

Though the words were coming from the mouth of the babe David, it was the Lord that was speaking through him. David said, God is going to conquer Goliath, God is going to deliver Goliath and shut his mouth, and God is going to give the battle to His people. "The Lord saveth, not with sword and spear." To the worldly mine the match up is between David's slingshot, and a stick; and Goliaths sword and massive spear. However David knew that with the Lord, there simply was no contest because it was between an almighty God, and a oversize man in the flesh, carrying nothing but a sword and spear. It would take spiritual insight to see the one-sided-ness between God and Goliath, while both armies were looking at just two souls in their flesh bodies.

When Christ quoted in Matthew 21:16, He was also quoting from Psalms 8:2 "Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength." It was this same David that was doing the writing. Within this we have the key of David that unlocks all Scripture and make it understandable in the minds of God people that gives us the power and the wisdom to open doors, and no man can shut them. Open the doors of truth and knowledge and wisdom. As we follow His instructions, it is not you and I that do the great things, but God is the one that gets the victory. God works in natural ways to get the work done, and He uses people to do His work.

I Samuel 17:48 "And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew night to meet David, that David hasted, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine."

As Goliath turned to come to David, David didn't draw back, but ran to meet Goliath and the entire army Philistine army.

I Samuel 17:49 "And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in the forehead, that the stone sunk into his forehead; and he fell upon his face to the earth."

In one smooth motion, David took the stone from his bag while on a full run, he put it into the slingshot and the strike brought the giant to the ground. One stone was all it took to overcome all that armor, the sword and that huge spear, and in a split second the Philistines watched as their hero fell to the ground dead.

Prophetically this should draw our attention to the Song of Moses, where the overcomers will be singing in the Millennium age, "there rock is not our Rock." As we read earlier above that when we take the hidden manna, which is God's truth, in our forehead or mind, and He will give you a new white stone with a new name written on it. That stone or knowledge will give you the victory over the enemy, no matter what generation you live in.

Satan himself is call "Tyrus" which is stone in the Hebrew. And when we count the number of the beast, as is written in Revelation 13:18, it is use the many generation of time that the Kenites have taken to perfect their false lies, distorting the truths from God's Word, and hiding themselves and their true identity. The stones were worn smooth, by casting of their lots, over a long period of time. It takes time to put a lie into being to were that tradition will be accepted without question. It is understanding the keys of Satan, as well as the "key of David", whereby you will know and understand the truth from lies in these latter days.

Once you know the truth, and you know that Satan comes first, than when one comes calling himself the Messiah, or Christ, and you are still in your flesh body, you know that he is a fake. When the Word of God tells us what to expect in our generation, there is no panic by God's people as those events come to pass. That is what the book of Revelation, and the Jesus' warning in Matthew 24, Mark 13, and Luke 21 is all about. It is preparing God's elect for the time of the end that we should not be deceived into worshipping the false messiah. So this story between a lad and a giant is symbolic also of something else that shall happen, for there is nothing new under the sun. David and Goliath is a type for the elect and Satan and his beast system in the latter days.

It is a lesson to let us know that we will have the victory when we have that hidden manna, that stone of truth hidden away in our mind to give us understanding. We will know Satan upon his arrival by his offspring, the Kenites, and within this we have the key of David. Once you know who the Kenites are, and how they function, and that knowledge is in your mind, they are no longer hidden, and their lies become obvious to you. The deadly wound of the beast system came to the forehead, to the mind of the one being struck. That is exactly where the deception will take hold when Antichrist sets foot on this earth. It will be quick and sure, for you will either know the truth before hand, or you will not. There wasn't time for Goliath to defend himself against that attack to his forehead, and the death was sure and quick.

The "forehead" or mind is where you place the seal that commits you either to Satan or to Jesus Christ, and there is no in-between. The "seal" is what you believe to be truth, and it is in your mind that you store and seal that information and knowledge. If you believe in a rapture, you are looking for the first Christ, and that is what is sealed in your mind. When one looking like Christ appears first, that is the one that you accept, sure, and instantly. However when you know the difference between the two seals, the sixth and the seventh trumpet, and you know that you will not see Jesus Christ's return in your flesh body, so when one claiming to be Christ comes and you are still in the flesh, you know instantly that man is a fake.

Revelation 9:4 "And it was commanded them that they should not hurt the grass of the earth, neither any green thing, neither any tree; but only those men which have not the seal of God in their foreheads."

God is giving the command stated here to Satan. Satan is the star falling from heaven that will be coming to earth, right along with all the fallen angels from the bottomless pit. Jesus told us that their time has been shortened from the seven years that Daniel prophesied, to five months.

Revelation 9:5 "And to them it was given that they should not kill them, but that they should be tormented five months: and their torment was as the torment of a scorpion when he striketh a man."

When a scorpion strikes a man, the man is left completely paralyzed and unable to think nor defend himself. If you do not have the truth of God's Word in your mind, and part of your thinking process seal away and part of you, than it is to late for you. God will turn you over to Satan, whether you claim Christ or not. When that stone hit the forehead of the giant, down the giant went, and David didn't have any trouble with the armor bearor. When the big boys go down, the others sell out very cheep. In fact the entire army of the Philistines turned and headed in the opposite direction.

I Samuel 17:50 "So David prevailed over the Philistine with a sling and with a stone, and smote the Philistine, and slew him; but there was no sword in the hand of David."

Notice that David told the Philistine in verse 46 that he was going to cut Goliath's head off, and yet David did not have a sword.

I Samuel 17:51 "Therefore David ran, and stood upon the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off the head therewith. And when the Philistines saw their champion was dead, they fled."

As the Philistines looked down and saw the head of their champion being cut off by little David, fear went through the camp, and they fled.

I Samuel 17:52 "And the men of Israel and of Judah arose, and shouted, and pursued the Philistines, until thou come to the valley, and to the gates of Ekron. And the wounded of the Philistines fell down by the way to Shaaraim, even unto Gath, and unto Ekron."

There is a slight mistranslation in this verse, and it is in the word Shaaraim, which in the Hebrew means "two gates". What it is stating, was that the Philistines that fell down on their way back home to the gates of their two cities, Gath and Ekron, they were slain by the Israelites that were pursuing after them.

I Samuel 17:53 "And the children of Israel returned from chasing after the Philistines, and they spoiled their tents."

Now that David had killed the Goliath and cut off his head, the rest of the army became brave men as they took the tents and goods that the Philistines left behind on the battle field. It took just one stone to end the battle. Though God directed the stone, David put the stone in the sling and swung it in the giants direction. Think of the heart that David had in him, in his obedience to God.

I Samuel 17:54 "And David took the head of the Philistine, and brought it to Jerusalem; but he put his armour in his tent."

I Samuel 17:55 "And when Saul saw David go forth against the Philistine, he said unto Abner, the captain of the host, "Abnor, whose son is this youth?" And Abnor said, "As thy soul liveth, O king, I cannot tell."

Saul knew who David was for he had spoken to David before the battle and had come to love David. However, now Saul wanted to know who David's father was. Remember from the prior chapter, that from the sixteenth chapter at the fourteenth verse, it was inserted out of order, where David would come and play the harp for Saul when was possessed by an evil spirit.

I Samuel 17:56 "And the king said, "Inquire thou whose son the stripling is."

Remember back in the sixteenth chapter Saul had sent a letter to Jesse thanking him for sending his son to the battle front. So now we can see where this chapter should be placed after this inquiry here.

I Samuel 17:57 "And as David returned from the slaughter of the Philistine, Abner took him, and brought him before Saul with the head of the Philistine in his hand."

It should have been quite a sight with this lad, David, carrying this giant's head around with him. David did exactly as he told Goliath that he would do to him. If everyone was so struck in fear for the forty days, David had the right to put on public display the head of the one that struck such fear in the Israelites. The point that David was stressing was not how great he was, but how great our Father is.

I Samuel 17:58 "And Saul said to him, "Whose son art thou, thou young man?" And David answered, "I am the son of thy servant Jesse the Beth-lehemite."

So we have seen the key of David being developed here in the seventeenth chapter, and that key always fits the lock of understanding the Word of God. Once you see the chronological flow of truth released in those stones as the reference points, you can see the genealogy of not only David, but of Cain. It would be through the seed of David that the Messiah would be born, and it is just as important to know and identify the Kenites. For through these Kenites flows the negative part of the plan of God.

Of the seven churches that are written of in the book of Revelation, there were only two that were acceptable to God, and they were the church of Smyrna and Philadelphia. These churches were acceptable because they knew and could identify the false teaching of the Kenites, in the latter days.

Revelation 2:9 "I know thy works, and tribulation, and poverty (but thou art rich), and I know the blasphemy of them which say they are Jews, and are not, but are the synagogue of Satan."

Those two churches taught the key of David, the people of those churches knew who the Kenites were and they did not allow them to have any access into their churches. When the Kenites were there it was because they were converts, and thus no longer Kenites but children of the living God. If your church is not teaching this in the latter days, than you are in trouble.
