Just something I was thinking about
Hey everyone! I was thinking about one of the famous stories in the bible, David and Goliath, and was just marveling about David.
David's stone was a bullet of faith, launched from his sling at about 100 to 120 mph, and with sufficient momentum to break through Goliath's skull bone. Therefore we can assume, from David's success in killing both lion and bear, that he was a fast runner and an accurate shot, probably able to put a stone into a 3 or 4 inch circle from a distance of about 20 to 25 feet (the accuracy of a pro baseball pitcher).
But what i was concentrating more on was not David, but David's antagonist, Goliath. Goliath the giant was a descendant of an evil race of giants during Noah's time called the Nephilim. Look up Genesis 6. The Sons of God (the one third cast out of heaven along with Lucifer) came to the daughters of Man and bore them children, hence the evil breed of giants. It was said that they inhabited the earth. Notice how these giants living on earth are echoed in legends and myths of nearly every ancient culture.
Which brings me to the other thing i was pondering over. Satan did not want Jesus to come and save his people from sin right? He would do anything to stop it from happening, right? Consider this:
Once it was made known that the Messiah was to come through Abraham:
Abraham's wife Sarah was taken by the Pharaoh in Egypt (thinking she was Abraham's sister) before Issac was born (Genesis 12)
Abraham's wife Sarah was taken by Abimelech, king of Gerar before Issac was born (Genesis20)
The attempted destruction of the entire male line of Israel in Egypt (Exodus 1:15-16):
15. And the king of Egypt spake to the Hebrew midwives, of which the name of one was Shiphrah and the name of the other, Puah;
16. And he said "when ye do the office of a midwife to the Hebrew women, see them upon the stools; if it be a son, then ye shall kill him, but if it be a Daughter, than she shall live.
The fact that there were giants inhabiting Canaan before the Israelites (Numbers 13:32-33)
After David's line was singled out (2 Samuel 7):
Jehoram killed all of his brothers.
The Arabians slew all his children except Ahaziah (2 Chronicles 22).
When Ahaziah died, Athallah killed all the royal heirs of the house of Judah (2 Chronicles 22:10). The babe Joash alone was rescued, and for six years the Jehovah's word was at stake.
Hezekiah was attacked by the king of Assyria when he was still childless (Isaiah 36:1).
Haman's conspiracy against the Jews (Esther 3).
Before Jesus was born:
Joseph wanted to divorce Mary because she was found with Jesus (Matthew 1:19).
Herod sought Jesus's life (Matthew 2).
After Jesus was born:
'Cast Thyself down was Satan's temptation.
Also the two storms on the lake.
Think about it.
Just a speculation.
