“So David restrained his servants with these words, and did not allow them to rise against Saul. And Saul got up from the cave and went on his way.” 1 Samuel 24:7
Although Saul is intensely set on killing David, David restrained his people from rising up against Saul to do him harm. Saul was able to leave the cave with his life, although David’s people could have easily ended Saul’s life right there and then. These are the words which David used to restrain the killing, “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord’s anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.” 1 Samuel 24:6 David let Saul walk away.
Jesus Christ restrains His followers from participating in any type of aggression against governing authority, including the government of the beast. Today’s society has an intense purpose to arrest the spread of Christianity to put Christ out of their “democratic” society. They have every intent to kill whatever is left of the Gospel of Christ. (Which means Christians themselves are dwindling and disappearing.) Jesus Christ said now is their hour of which is the power of darkness, “But this is your hour, and the power of darkness.” Luke 22:53b. Instead of fighting against the persecution of the Spirit of Christ Jesus says to let it be, “Permit even this!” Luke 22:51 Jesus Christ prevented aggression against the multitudes who came to arrest and crucify Him Luke 22:47-52.
As the followers of Christ offers no aggressive resistance against the multitudes, they boast, “Who is like the beast? Who is able to make war with it?” Revelation 13:4 They follow the beast through the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak as it enables the image of the beast to live and speak through them. As it lives and speaks through them, they are conformed to their place in life among the multitudes of the “democratic” society. Their society is bonded together by denying God, discarding the need for Jesus Christ, and blaspheming the Holy Spirit. They are conformed to their mark in life as they are groomed to the mark of the beast by what they say and do.
“David also arose afterward, went out of the cave, and called out to Saul, saying, “My lord the king!” And when Saul looked behind him, David stooped with his face to the earth, and bowed down.” 1 Samuel 24:8
David was very humble and respectful towards Saul with no malice at all towards him. Jesus Christ wants us to be the same way while living under the authority of the government of the beast. Matthew 5:3-12 are characteristics which the Lord Jesus wants us to have in this hour of darkness. Luke 6:20-26 tells of our blessing when the environment around us is difficult. We are to be humble and respectful and to respond to the masses in a lot better way than what they respond to us,
But I say to you who hear: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, and pray for those who spitefully use you. To him who strikes you on the one cheek, offer the other also. And from him who takes away your cloak, do not withhold your tunic either. Give to everyone who asks of you. And from him who takes away your goods do not ask them back. And just as you want men to do to you, you also do to them likewise.
But if you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them.
Luke 6:27-32
“And David said to Saul: “Why do you listen to the words of men who say, ‘Indeed David seeks your harm’?” 1 Samuel 24:9
Christianity is already seen as an enemy to the “democratic” society which exists in every city around the world. Even in America, government representatives are labeling the “right wing” as extremists which has a “dangerous ideology.” They flat-out say that those who embrace “right wing” beliefs are a threat to the “democratic” rights of every citizen. The “right wing” is traditionally known to embrace the values of the Bible and upholding the US Constitution based on Christian roots. Also, the United Nations (on their Facebook page etc.) openly calls for the masses around the world to “call out” and confront those who are seen as discriminatory, bigoted, not inclusive, etc. In other words, the followers of Jesus Christ are the target of open confrontational aggression as we are considered to present harm to this world’s governing system.
Today’s society functions on the basis that Christians means them harm, which is because of the conflict over the killing of the unborn, the destruction of marriage as God intended, the promotion of LGBQT+ lifestyles etc. But especially because we see cities around the world living for the beast. They allow the image of the beast to live through them by the thing which forms what they think, feel, do, and speak. At the same time, we are not aggressively harmful to them because Jesus Christ gave His life for each one of us. “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.” John 3:16
“….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
