David picked up five stones.
1 Samuel 17:40
And he took his staff in his hand,
and chose him five smooth stones
out of the brook,
(Water, God's righteousness,
the brook just happened to wind its way past Goliaths home Gath BTW)
and put them in a shepherd's bag which he had, even in a scrip;
and his sling was in his hand:
and he drew near to the Philistine.
"Well it says he picked up five but we really dont know how many he had."
Nowhere in the story
does it mention
where he had any other stones
other than the
ones he picked up
out of the stream
that went by
goliaths hometown.
"Well maybe this
and maybe that?"
What else in the book do we choose to this to?
It's a mistake.
So what do the five stones signify?
Lots of thoughts on this.
Maybe the five wounds
suffered by Christ on the cross.
Crown of thorns
Two on his hands
and two on his feet.
(The piercing of his side was just to make sure he was deceased, not a means to make it so.
Interesting to me that there's water
coming from the rock, our cornerstone
Hung on wood.
Noah anybody?
Rock of faith?
Wood (Ark) and water?
The water that killed everybody else?
Ssaved Noah and his family BTW.
Moses?
Struck a rock with a wood
(or so we think,
some say sapphire)
staff
and water came out.)
Maybe?
Maybe he knew about Goliaths brothers?
We are given no indication that he did.
This is different from assuming
he had other stones in his pouch exactly how?
Perhaps the Holy Spirit resting on him since his anointing knew of Goliaths kinfolks? To me? That seems a lot more likely than David's knowing of them.
All of Goliaths Kin were killed off in subsequent battles BTW.
2 Samuel 21:15-22
Wars Against the Philistines
(Still going on BTW)
15 Once again there was a battle between the Philistines and Israel. David went down with his men to fight against the Philistines, and he became exhausted. 16 And Ishbi-Benob, one of the descendants of Rapha, whose bronze spearhead weighed three hundred shekels[a] and who was armed with a new sword, said he would kill David. 17 But Abishai son of Zeruiah came to David’s rescue; he struck the Philistine down and killed him. Then David’s men swore to him, saying, “Never again will you go out with us to battle, so that the lamp of Israel will not be extinguished.”
18 In the course of time, there was another battle with the Philistines, at Gob. At that time Sibbekai the Hushathite killed Saph, one of the descendants of Rapha.
19 In another battle with the Philistines at Gob, Elhanan son of Jair[b] the Bethlehemite killed the brother of[c] Goliath the Gittite, who had a spear with a shaft like a weaver’s rod.
20 In still another battle, which took place at Gath, there was a huge man with six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot—twenty-four in all. He also was descended from Rapha. 21 When he taunted Israel, Jonathan son of Shimeah, David’s brother, killed him.
22 These four were descendants of Rapha in Gath, and they fell at the hands of David and his men.
That was the end of them.
That was the end of the Nephelium bloodline.
And it had to be extinguished because God hadn't created them.
(Kinda like AI but I digress)
Remember this:
Genesis 6:4
4 There were giants in the earth in those days;
and also after that,
(After what?
After the flood)
when the sons of God came in unto the daughters of men, and they bare children to them, the same became mighty men which were of old, men of renown.
Drew your loosing us,
everything
was killed in the flood.
All of GODs creation
was killed in the flood.
Genesis 6:17-18
17 And, behold, I, even I, do bring a flood of waters upon the earth,
to destroy all flesh,
wherein is
the breath of life,
from under heaven;
Everything God gave life to.
Angels were begat in Heaven
So this excludes the Nephelium.
And some of them survived the flood.
This is why:
(1)
1 Samuel 15:2-3
"This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘I will punish the Amalekites for what they did to Israel when they waylaid them as they came up from Egypt. 3 Now go, attack the Amalekites and totally destroy all that belongs to them. Do not spare them; put to death men and women, children and infants, cattle and sheep, camels and donkeys.’”"
The bloodline of the Nephelium
had to be destroyed.
also explains
(2)
Numbers 13:33
33 And there we saw the giants,
the sons of Anak,
which come of the giants:
and we were in our own sight as grasshoppers,
and so we were in their sight.
and every thing that is
in the earth shall die.
18 But with thee
(Noah)
will I establish my covenant;
and thou shalt come into the ark, thou, and thy sons, and thy wife, and thy sons' wives with thee.
This why David
being the eighth son
is
SO
pivotal.
It's a new beginning now.
(8 people on the ark anybody?)
The old way has passed.
The bloodline of the Nephilim is no more.
But Drew,
you started off
talking about the five stones.
Yes I did
Christ five wounds are foreshadowed
as are
Goliaths four kinfolk being done away with but the reason I think the five stones are so important?
IT SIGNIFIES GODS FIFTH COVENANT
WITH MAN.
1) ADAM
2) NOAH
3) ABRAHAM
4) MOSES
5) DAVID
So I don't dare say David had any more stones than the five. The spirit resting on someone will have you doing things without you even understanding why.
In all likelihood? Its some of all three of the reasons I just offered for the significance of the five stones, I just happen to give more weight to the covenant with David because of his being the eighth son signifing a new begining, and the end of the nephelium bloosline.
"But last time somebody said almost the same thing you had a come apart at church the next week.
What gives?"
That?
Was a thinly veiled attempt
at going after one particular individual
(guess who?)
disguised as a sermon.
This past week?
Not so much.
Big difference.
(And a really good sermon :-).
So?
To sum up?
Five stones
in the David and Goliath story
are a pretty big deal.
Taken from the stream
that ran by Goliaths hometown,
A new day and age declared,
A New King
(appointed by God).
The End of the Nephelium bloodline
come up here soon afterwards,
and
Gods fifth covenant with a man.
Thas my take anyway.
