PONDER THIS

Seven is a perfect or complete number. Seven is used to reference the Lord Jesus Christ many times. It is used also to reference the Holy Spirit. The Bible speaks of the seven spirits of God, but that doesn’t mean there are literally seven spirits of God, it means the Holy Spirit is the perfect Spirit of God.

Six stands for perfect imperfection, and that’s what Man is. So, you’ll find six being used in the Bible to symbolize Satan and evil. For example, Goliath of Gath, that great giant that David killed—remember how David killed Goliath? His height was six cubits and a span; his spearhead weighed 600 shekels of iron; Goliath had six pieces of armor. There is Goliath, and he represents 666. Little David represents David’s greater Son; he killed Goliath. One man won the battle for all the rest. What a picture and prophecy of the Lord Jesus, who has defeated Satan for all of us.

• How did David’s defeat of Goliath point to the promised defeat of sin, death, and Satan by Jesus?
• What similarities do you find in this account with the work of Jesus on behalf of sinners? (See 1 Samuel 17.)

PRACTICE THIS

Note the ways David acted in this limited moment that are similar to the way in which Jesus has acted on behalf of all sinners for eternity.
