shepherd who slayed the giant using just a stone—the son of man
[representative of the son of David] or king of Israel [chosen of God] will
testify about Jesus, and the beast will be slain. The beast is a huge body that
is a billion times larger than the giant David slew. The prophetic mission of
the son of David will be as Jesus testified! The prophetic mission of the son
of David is to rule over a worldly kingdom; this is a daunting task: the beast
in this world today is much larger than the giant in David the shepherd’s
time. But, Jesus—the Pascal Lamb of God—chose a mere man to tend His
flock during His absence.
The New Jerusalem is a final destination! Jesus revealed this reality in the

spoken of through the prophet Daniel—

(Matthew 24: 15)
As you see, if you see, you too must know there are battle lines
drawn—we are preparing for a great spiritual battle. Daniel’s vision
provided a glimpse of what would happen, and in part, he said; “At that
time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There
will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of
nations until then. But at that time your people

everyone whose name is
found written in the book—will be delivered.
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to
everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are
wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many
to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, close up
