“Let the Lord judge between you and me, and let the Lord avenge me on you. But my hand shall not be against you.” 1 Samuel 24:12
David was depending on the judgment of the Lord to settle the score with Saul, but David would not lift a finger against Saul. As followers of Jesus Christ, that is exactly what we are supposed to do, to let the judgment of God come against the global government of the beast and all those who live by the thing which gives them what to do, think, and speak. We are not to lift a finger of aggressive rebellion against those in authority nor against anyone else.
This world is dominated by those who despise the teachings of the Bible and Christianity as a whole, and still the followers of Jesus Christ will be in this world until the final day. The majority of people on this planet live by the thing which gives them what to think, feel, do, and speak. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them and by what they say and do they deny God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, blaspheme the Holy Spirit, and afflict Christians.
The Lord Jesus Christ will be the judge and avenger of those who seek to kill Him in this world, but as His followers we live by the Gospel of peace. Those who welcome the thing to form their thoughts, words, and behaviors are conformed to their place in life by what they say and do. They are groomed to the mark of the beast.
Those who despise the teachings of the Bible and those who accept Jesus Christ for the remission of sin are the tares and wheat growing together. The tares will be burned in eternal Hell, but the wheat will be gathered into the Paradise of eternal life. As quoted below,
Another parable He put forth to them, saying: “The kingdom of heaven is like a man who sowed good seed in his field; but while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat and went his way. But when the grain had sprouted and produced a crop, then the tares also appeared.
So the servants of the owner came and said to him, ‘Sir, did you not sow good seed in your field? How then does it have tares?’ He said to them, ‘An enemy has done this.’ The servants said to him, ‘Do you want us then to go and gather them up?’ But he said, ‘No, lest while you gather up the tares you also uproot the wheat with them.
Let both grow together until the harvest, and at the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, “First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ ”
Matthew 13:24-30
“As the proverb of the ancients says, ‘Wickedness proceeds from the wicked.’ But my hand shall not be against you.” 1 Samuel 24:13 We do not follow the broad way which leads to destruction, wickedness comes from them. In contrast, we live on the narrow way in the Spirit of Holiness and the Gospel of peace.
“….to you who do not hold to her teaching and have not learned Satan’s so-called deep secrets,“
‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
Revelation 2:24-25, 3:1
