King Achish dismisses David and his men from the presence of his armies: This world dismisses Jesus Christ from the armies of their “democratic” society.

“Therefore return now, and go in peace, that you may not displease the lords of the Philistines.” 1 Samue; 29:7

David and his men were asked to leave from among the armies of the Philistines, if they didn’t leave, they would suffer the consequences. Today, Jesus Christ, His followers, and all of Christianity are asked to leave the social network of today’s society. We are expected to remain voiceless and “out of sight and out of mind.”

Jesus Christ and His followers have been given their “pink slip” dismissing them from the “democratic” society of today. We are pushed into obscurity without meaningful involvement within the social network. With humanitarian and churchy sounding words they say, “go in peace.” If we continue to make our presence known by sharing the Gospel of Christ, they guarantee things will not go well for us. The “lords” of today, who detests Christianity, are the masses in every city around the world who live by the anti-Christian thing which forms what they say, think, feel, and do.

“So David said to Achish, “But what have I done? And to this day what have you found in your servant as long as I have been with you, that I may not go and fight against the enemies of my lord the king?” 1 Samuel 29:8

Like David’s response to Achish (the king of the Israelite-hating Philisitines), Jesus Christ responds to this world by asking what has He and His followers done to be denied a place within society? Jesus Christ has conquered sin and death to give us eternal life and He offers that to all the world, “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16-17

As followers of the Lord Jesus, we want to share His Good News with this wayward world. We want to join the fight against sin and death in the name of God’s Son, Jesus. We want the masses of this world to win the victory over the image of the beast which is given life to live and speak through them by the thing which forms their thoughts, feelings, words, and behaviors. We want people to be free from conformity to the anti-Christian society as they are groomed to the mark of the beast.

“Then Achish answered and said to David, “I know that you are as good in my sight as an angel of God; nevertheless the princes of the Philistines have said, ‘He shall not go up with us to the battle.’” 1 Samuel 29:9

The reason the lords/princes of this world does not want us Christians as members of their “democratic” society is because we possess the goodness of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is given to us by living for Jesus Christ by accepting what He did for us on the Cross and believing in Him as God’s Son. Those of this world love the darkness more than the light, “And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil.” John 3:19 The Holy Spiri opposes the thing which forms what people say, do, think, and feel because it is of Satan and is spiritual darkness. Its only purpose is to enable the image of the beast to live and speak through people in every city around the world.

“Now therefore, rise early in the morning with your master’s servants who have come with you. And as soon as you are up early in the morning and have light, depart.” 1 Samuel 29:10

When the morning light reaches our soul, that is the day that we choose to live for Jesus Christ and accept what He has done for us on the Cross to atone for sin. It is then we know we are not wanted in this world. The morning light of the Lord Jesus separates us from the darkness of the world because light cannot mix with darkness. As Jesus Christ says, “I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.” Revelation 22:16 With Jesus Christ, our Master, we depart from the ways of this world to be set apart from an anti-Christian world. The global tribulation is the result of a world living in darkness without the light, and the Battle of Armageddon follows.

Jesus Christ is coming back during the darkness of this world, and He shines like the bright and morning star after the hours of night has passed. He destroys this dark and lawless world with the brightness of His coming, “And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.” 2 Thessalonians 2:8

“So David and his men rose early to depart in the morning, to return to the land of the Philistines. And the Philistines went up to Jezreel.” 1 Samuel 29:11

Jesus Christ and this world parts way. As the followers of Jesus (the Bright and Morning Star) we go with Him, but this world heads towards the tumult of global tribulation.

And so we have the prophetic word confirmed, which you do well to heed as a light that shines in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; knowing this first, that no prophecy of Scripture is of any private interpretation, for prophecy never came by the will of man, but holy men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Spirit.

2 Peter 1:19-21

The word “man” in the above verse refers to “mankind,” or humanity as a whole.

The light of Jesus Christ and His followers are not contributors to the darkness of the “democratic” society of today. The light of the Gospel of Christ and Christianity as a whole are being kept “out of sight and out of mind.” What does contribute to every city around the world are the global goals of the United Nations, which is the global government of the beast. It has made itself the light of the world,

For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ. And no wonder! For Satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light. Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15

They go their own way and have decided to do battle on their own, without God, without Jesus, and without the Holy Spirit. Their fight is not a spiritual one at all, but they use internal coercion of physiology and thoughts and feelings along with external might to solidify their authority and power. That is a mixture which moves the global tribulation forward and towards the Battle of Armageddon.
