1Sa 17:50 ASV - 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.
1Sa 17:51 ASV - Then David ran, and stood over the Philistine, and took his sword, and drew it out of the sheath thereof, and slew him, and cut off his head therewith. And when the Philistines saw that their champion was dead, they fled.
The word sling in this verse is Heb keh'·lah above we can see the spiritual or the type and shadow of this verse. Sling is a weapon of God the power and strength of God himself. David was a small boy and in his flesh represents no power. But he said I come to you in the name of the Lord. The whole nation of Israel even Saul was minding the things of their flesh . They saw in the letter of the word , by the arm of their flesh . And so it is in this day we live , David believed God and trusted that Gods word would save him . One man that day saved a whole nation because of his Faith. The word in Heb means Sling but also it says Veil or Sail of a ship. Now we know the veil Hbr 10:19 ASV - Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holy place by the blood of Jesus,
Hbr 10:20 ASV - by the way which he dedicated for us, a new and living way, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh; And the sail is an instrument of motion , it harnesses the power to move a ship by the wind . And the wind is the Holy Spirit in you, Jhn 3:8 ASV - The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Act 2:2 ASV - And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Jesus said that Moses wrote of him and the prophets wrote of him. Know this the words they wrote were inspired by God they were moved by Gods spirit to write this word. So Paul says the letter of the word will kill you but the spirit brings life.
Rom 7:6 ASV - But now we have been discharged from the law, having died to that wherein we were held; so that we serve in newness of the spirit, and not in oldness of the letter.
2Cr 3:6 ASV - who also made us sufficient as ministers of a new covenant; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.
Jesus said many times those that have eyes to see and ears to hear. What is he saying here
Gal 2:20 ASV - I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I that live, but Christ living in me: and that life which I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself up for me.
1Pe 4:2 ASV - that ye no longer should live the rest of your time in flesh to the lusts of men, but to the will of God.
Jesus said you must be born again , born of his spirit . And only with the spirit of God can we know the mind of the spirit. As Paul says above I am no longer alive unto my carnal nature but unto the the nature and mind of Christ . Its Christ in you the hope of GLORY !
Glory Greek: doxa
of the nature and acts of God in self-manifestation, i.e., what He essentially is and does, as exhibited in whatever way he reveals Himself in these respects, and particularly in the person of Christ, in whom essentially His "glory" has ever shone forth and ever will do, Jhn 17:5, 24; Hbr 1:3; it was exhibited in the character and acts of Christ in the days of His flesh.
The sling was an extension of Davids arm , the power of God in him. And it says that it is also referenced as a Veil , and the veil was symbolic of a covering or a hiding of Gods glory. And than it says it is also referenced as a Sail of a ship. Now we know without wind a sail is useless to a ship which is your flesh without the spirit of God, you must be born again . I believe the sail here is speaking of our born again spirit , born of God. John came preaching repentance ,Why because there has to be a separation of flesh and spirit. For the mind of the flesh is an enemy to God
Jhn 3:8 ASV - The wind bloweth where it will, and thou hearest the voice thereof, but knowest not whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.
Act 2:1 ASV - And when the day of Pentecost was now come, they were all together in one place.
Act 2:2 ASV - And suddenly there came from heaven a sound as of the rushing of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Act 2:3 ASV - And there appeared unto them tongues parting asunder, like as of fire; and it sat upon each one of them.
Act 2:4 ASV - And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance. Why does the church ignore this great truth , the book of Acts was the beginning of the Acts of the New Testament CHURCH ! .
Stone in this verse is Heb eh'·ven= precious stones. strength, firmness, solidity.
This stone is a type and shadow of Christ Jesus , Goliath is representative of, a type and shadow of our flesh , bigger than life itself . And ferocious in its quest , the mind of the flesh is death .
The only way we can overcome this earth and our flesh is by the spirit of God in us .
David picked up Five smooth river stones , the number five in bible numeric's signifies Grace, heavenly favor and Love.
1Sa 17:40 ASV - And he took his staff in his hand, and chose him five smooth stones out of the brook, and put them in the shepherd's bag which he had, even in his wallet; and his sling was in his hand: and he drew near to the Philistine.
1Sa 17:48 ASV - And it came to pass, when the Philistine arose, and came and drew nigh to meet David, that David hastened, and ran toward the army to meet the Philistine.
1Sa 17:49 ASV - And David put his hand in his bag, and took thence a stone, and slang it, and smote the Philistine in his forehead; and the stone sank into his forehead, and he fell upon his face to the earth.
Its by Gods grace that we are saved , a gift of faith from God . And the gospel of God through Jesus the words he spoke will also put to death the mind of our flesh . Rom 12:2 ASV - And be not fashioned according to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, and ye may prove what is the good and acceptable and perfect will of God. If we obey this word and submit therefore unto God , his word will renew our minds and save our souls .
Jhn 14:10 ASV - Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I say unto you I speak not from myself: but the Father abiding in me doeth his works.
Jhn 12:46 ASV - I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me may not abide in the darkness.
Jhn 12:47 ASV - And if any man hear my sayings, and keep them not, I judge him not: for I came not to judge the world, but to save the world.
Jhn 12:48 ASV - He that rejecteth me, and receiveth not my sayings, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I spake, the same shall judge him in the last day.
Gods word has already decided our out come in this world it has been declared, Gods word will either save us because we believe him , or it will condemn us because of our unbelief.
This precious word if we obey , it will fight our battles and devour our enemy's , just as David took the sword and cut off the head of Goliath so we must put to death the deeds of our flesh with the sword of Gods word. Putting to death the mind of our flesh and be renewed daily by the washing water of Gods word.
Jhn 1:12 ASV - But as many as received him, to them gave he the right to become children of God, even to them that believe on his name:
Jhn 1:13 ASV - who were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God. This verse is telling us that the nature we were born with through the first Adam must die so we can take on the new nature of Christ the second Adam , born again of Gods spirit to newness of life . The first Adam failed he was created perfect in Gods image , yet he sinned and lost his right to live in Gods perfect kingdom , Eden = gan garden, enclosure, of a bride, a chaste woman . Can we see something here of Gods intent from the very beginning
Rev 2:7 ASV - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches. To him that overcometh, to him will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the Paradise of God.
Rev 22:2 ASV - in the midst of the street thereof. And on this side of the river and on that was the tree of life, bearing twelve manner of fruits, yielding its fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:14 ASV - Blessed are they that wash their robes, that they may have the right to come to the tree of life, and my enter in by the gates into the city.
We read that before Adam and Eve sinned God himself would come in the cool of the evening and walk with them and talk with them . Eden also means a place of pleasure. Adam could lay down in the garden and sleep any where with great peace . No thorns no harmful non pleasurable thing existed in Gods garden . Adam was created in Gods image perfect but he lost his life because of sin. Man chooses to sin , God wanted children to love him and obey him.
1Cr 15:45 ASV - So also it is written, The first man Adam became a living soul. The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1Cr 15:50 ASV - Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
1Cr 15:46 ASV - Howbeit that is not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; then that which is spiritual.
1Cr 15:47 ASV - The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is of heaven.
Jesus has come to reconcile Gods creation back unto the father.
2Cr 5:19 ASV - to wit, that God was in Christ reconciling the world unto himself, not reckoning unto them their trespasses, and having committed unto us the word of reconciliation.
Gen 1:27 ASV - And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. And Jesus has come to reconcile you back to this Garden and to the
