“And Saul was told that David had gone to Keilah. So Saul said, “God has delivered him into my hand, for he has shut himself in by entering a town that has gates and bars.” 1 Samuel 23:7 David went to Keilah to fight on the threshing floor. Saul figured David would be easy prey now that David was trapped inside walls and lockable gates of Keilah. David was locked within the place of the threshing floor.
Jesus Christ is considered easy prey within the “democratic” society of today by having walls built against His Gospel and being locked out from access into community places. Christianity is locked into a threshing floor where those who live by the teachings of the Bible, and Christianity as a whole, are being broken down and trampled on.
The masses of people within the “democratic” society lives by the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do and they are in every city around the world. The thing which forms their feelings and thoughts enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. They are filled with despise against Christianity as they blaspheme God, discard the need for Jesus Christ, and tramples on the Holy Spirit. The followers of Christ are surrounded and locked into the mass process of threshing as the masses boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with it?” Revelation 13:4
Those who allow the image of the beast to live and speak through them are conformed to their station in life within the “democratic” society. They feel secure in being conformed to their mark in life as thy are groomed to the mark of the beast. The requirement for their sense of security is to oppose God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit. They figure Christians have been defeated because of their overwhelming numbers as they have shut out Christianity by their fierce mental, emotional, and physical threshing.
“Then Saul called all the people together for war, to go down to Keilah to besiege David and his men.” 1 Samuel 23:8 The masses around the world, who live for the global goals of the United Nations (the government of the beast), are rallied against Jesus Christ and His followers. They consider the goals of the global “democratic” society to have priority over all politics, religion, and God. Through the thing which forms thoughts, feelings, and behaviors it sits in the temple of God, our body, as if it were God, “…it opposes and exalts itself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that it sits as God in the temple of God, showing itself that it is God.” 2 Thessalonians 2:4
A war cry has already been heard here in America against Christianity, and the Gospel of Christ is no longer available in the churches. Biblical values are not in government lawmaking, the educational system no longer welcomes the teachings of the Bible, and Christianity is not welcomed in any sector of society. Christians are surrounded by walls and locked gates of the “democratic” society as we are considered easy prey on their threshing floor.
The masses who protest and riot around the world shout in support for the agenda of the global “democratic” society because they are living by the influence of the thing which forms what they think, feel, and do. The image of the beast is living and speaking through them as they empower and give authority to the government of the beast. They demand nations to conform to global expectations. They already refer to those who live by the teachings of the Bible as right-wing extremists, and they despise Christianity.
As a follower of Jesus Christ, my victory is in Him despite the threshing, or thrashing, I receive by the masses who live for the “democratic” society,
I heard an old, old story how a Savior came from glory,
How He gave His life on Calvary to save a wretch like me;
I heard about His groaning, of His precious blood’s atoning,
Then I repented of my sins and won the victory.
O victory in Jesus, my Savior, forever.
He sought me and bought me with His redeeming blood;
He loved me ere I knew Him, and all my love is due Him,
He plunged me to victory beneath the cleansing flood.
I heard about His healing, of His cleansing power revealing.
How He made the lame to walk again and caused the blind to see;
And then I cried, “Dear Jesus, come and heal my broken spirit,”
And somehow Jesus came and brought to me the victory.
I heard about a mansion He has built for me in glory.
And I heard about the streets of gold beyond the crystal sea;
About the angels singing and the old redemption story,
And some sweet day I’ll sing up there the song of victory.
“….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
