Page 7 - Giant Task Ahead

1Ch 20:4-8 And it came to pass after this, that there arose war at Gezer with the Phi-
listines; at which time Sibbechai the Hushathite slew Sippai, [that was] of the chil-

dren of the giant: and they were subdued. And there was war again with the Philis-
tines; and Elhanan the son of Jair slew Lahmi the brother of Goliath the Gittite,

whose spear staff [was] like a weaver's beam. And yet again there was war at Gath,
where was a man of [great] stature, whose fingers and toes [were] four and twenty,
six [on each hand], and six [on each foot]: and he also was the son of the giant But

when he defied Israel, Jonathan the son of Shimea David's brother slew him. These
were born unto the giant in Gath; and they fell by the hand of David, and by the hand

of his servants.

This may be the last of the race of giants

in the land, for indeed, they are never
mentioned again in Israel’s history, thanks

to the sword of David.

Remember this prophetic warning to Satan?

Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee

and the woman, and between thy seed and her
seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt
bruise his heel.

Long Time No See.

What possible reason could we have to bring

Satan into this? From the time of the prophetic
statement above until David’s final slaying of

the giants, Satan has not appeared in scripture.
David lived and reigned about 1000 years
before Christ. If we take the order of Scriptures from Genesis chronologically, that

puts the timing of this appearance nearly 3000 years after the garden. Regardless,
this is Satan’s first mention by name since the fall of Adam. How interesting that

soon after the last of the giants is eliminated, Satan appears. What about that event
was so significant to bring him out of hiding?
