[Joels Trumpet] Joels Trumpet » Blog Archive » Will the Third Temple be built next ...: David as we know was Israel most famous King - the Son of David - I find the story of David fasinating - when he comes on the scene he tells King Saul and his brother and the army living in fear that he is not afraid of this Goliath guy - Goliath was a foreshadow of the future anti Christ - While he shepherded his sheep he killed a Lion and a bear - I see a clear future picture here of God telling us or showing us right here that the Lion and the bear are Babylon, Persia, or Assyria who will again be defeated in these last days - now he faces Goliath and what does he do he picks up five sling stones - why five did he think he was going to miss with the first four - I think not he knew his abilities and he went forward in faith knowing God would give him victory - possibly and this is a question in my mind or a thought that this may indiacet 50 years ?? again I am not saying it is this is only my thought process - and whamo first rock and the first succesful missle attack in Israeli history - but that is not all - I think this missle may not have killed him dead immediately because he than cuts off Goliaths head to ensure victory with his own sword and it is feed to the birds of the air - does this not sound an awful lot like the victory over Magog in Ezekiel 38 and 39 when the birds of the air will feast on the flesh of Magog - Zechariah 12:4 also tells us that the enemy will be blinded and than destroyed - I have suggested in an earlier post that this may well be electronic jammimg or some missle defense system which Israel is far advanced in that will be used to defeat the Muslim armies - is this all factual - I cannot say that it is with 100% certainty buy I think it is a possibility - and again I am only manning the watch towers - being on watch and on guard - as the time gets closer I am sure the the picture will become much more clear - right now we are all still loking through a bit of fog to some extent - but the fog is lifting and soon the Son will be shining
