David asks, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?”: Jesus Christ asks, “Who will go down with me to this anti-Christian world?”

1 Samuel 26:5-6

 “So David arose and came to the place where Saul had encamped. And David saw the place where Saul lay, and Abner the son of Ner, the commander of his army. Now Saul lay within the camp, with the people encamped all around him.” 1 Samuel 26:5

David came to the camp of Saul and of all those who were hunting him down to kill him. The many people of Saul were embedded all around him. Likewise, Jesus Christ has come to this world where the multitudes have it in them to put an end to Christianity. The multitudes are encamped around their leader which forms what they say, think, do, and speak. It enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them in every city around the world. They are conformed to their place in life by what they say and do as they form a protective circle around their leader. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

All who dwell on the earth will worship him, whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.

Revelation 13:8

The “him” in the verse above is not a person, it is the beast behind the tool which forms what people think, feel, do, and speak. It denies God, rejects Jesus Christ, and blasphemes the Holy Spirit, which describes the people of today encamped in every city around the world.

“Then David answered, and said to Ahimelech the Hittite and to Abishai the son of Zeruiah, brother of Joab, saying, “Who will go down with me to Saul in the camp?” And Abishai said, “I will go down with you.” 1 Samuel 26:6

When David decided to go down to Saul’s camp, he knew exactly what was awaiting him, hostility and those seeking his death. David asked the question of his men, “Who will go down with me…?” Today, Jesus Christ poses that question to the whosoever of this world, who will abide with Him in this anti-Christian world? The people of this world are encamped in their life with the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak. They despise the teachings of the Lord Jesus and intend to rid this world of Christianity. The answer we must give to the Lord Jesus is, “I will go down with you.”

Give me grace to be a servant
Give me mercy for the lost
Give me passion for Your glory
Give me passion for the Cross

And I will go where there are no easy roads
Leave the comforts that I know
I will go and let this journey be my home
I will go
I will go

I will go Lord where Your glory is unknown
I will live for You alone
I will go because my life is not my own
I will go
I will go
I will go
(Church hymn)

“….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
