“Now it came to pass after the death of Saul, when David had returned from the slaughter of the Amalekites, and David had stayed two days in Ziklag,” 2 Samuel 1:1
The verse above is setting the timeframe of the 2 Samuel 1. It was after the death of Saul and after David took vengeance on those who plundered his village and carried the families of his people into captivity. The death of Saul symbolizes the time in this world when the State of Israel is dead. They have been killed by the global government of the beast, referring to the masses around the world, the United Nations, and the countries of the Middle East. David’s slaughter of the Amalekites represents when Jesus Christ returns to take vengeance against all those who come against His family. That is written about in 1 Samuel 30:1-2 (David returns to Ziklag) and 1 Samuel 31 (Saul’s death).
Those coming against Israel and Christianity nowadays are those living by the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and say. It allows the image of the beast to live and speak through people, and by what they say and do it’s obvious they detest the existence of the State of Israel. They are the masses of people in every city around the world and they are conformed to their place within the global culture of the beast. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast. They will be resurrected to their day of judgment and condemnation.
We can say that 2 Samuel 1 refers to the judgment of condemnation coming against those of the second resurrection. If a person’s name is not written in the Lamb’s Book of Life, there will be condemnation. The first resurrection (Revelation 20:4-6) brings all those who died living for Jesus Christ to be with Him, who are not raised to condemnation. (Click here for a post on all of that). The verses below refer to the second resurrection bringing people to their judgment, “…they were judged, each one according to his works.”
Then I saw a great white throne and Him who sat on it, from whose face the earth and the heaven fled away. And there was found no place for them.
And I saw the dead, small and great, standing before God, and books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to their works, by the things which were written in the books.
The sea gave up the dead who were in it, and Death and Hades delivered up the dead who were in them. And they were judged, each one according to his works. Then Death and Hades were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.
Revelation 20:11-15
“….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
