Five Stones (David v Goliath)

[pcosmar]

I never got this before.. a new revelation of sorts

Santa speaking about David and Goliath,, and David picked up 5 smooth stones from the river..
never got the significance of 5 stones,, why 5?

David Nailed the unholy Giant with one stone..

The big SOB had 4 brothers..

David was ready for all of them.


Meditate on that.

"Remember, you wanted this"

Excellent Hollywood distinction between Arena Style and Hard Style.

I take Bruce's advice.

Point of Reference::

I dislike Violence,,but have had my share..
I was born as a new believer in the 23 Psalm.
I was Baptized in the Chapel of the Missouri State Prison. 1980

I am 5'8",, and was about 120-125 at the time..
as a small unattractive male,, I had never been so attractive in my life.

I was never sodomized in Prison..
I wish I could say I never had to fight,,

I believe God strengthened my hand. I believe I was Protected by God.

pull my card,,read the record.

it will come up at Judgement

Five means grace. Those five stones were symbolic, because David said to Goliath, God was on his side, that is why one stone slew Goliath.

1 Samuel 17:46
46 This day will the Lord deliver thee into mine hand; and I will smite thee, and take thine head from thee; and I will give the carcases of the host of the Philistines this day unto the fowls of the air, and to the wild beasts of the earth; that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel.

The Meaning of Numbers: The Number 5

The number 5 symbolizes God's grace, goodness and favor toward humans. It is mentioned 318 times in Scripture. Five is the number of grace, and multiplied by itself, which is 25, is 'grace upon grace' (John 1:16). The Ten Commandments contains two sets of 5 commandments. The first five commandments are related to our treatment and relationship with God with the remaining one concerned with our relationship with others humans.
