David + "the Son of David" - Some PARALLELS
At the Second Coming(SC) Christ will be like David at the time of the battle with Goliath:
David was not armed with any conventional weapons (like spear or sword or shield).
Likewise at the SC, Christ will be without any weapons -
(He will give off light as in Acts 9.3.)
In that battle with Goliath, David was fighting the Philistines, for Goliath was their champion (1st. Samuel 17.4, 23, 51).
Likewise at the SC Christ will be fighting the Philistines/Palestinians.
Actually Christ will be fighting the Russian army.
But they will be invading Israel as the leader of the international effort to "liberate PALESTINE" on behalf of the Palestinians.
So they will be representing the Palestinian cause.
And the word "Palestine" is the latinization of "Philistia," the land of the Philistines.
So today's Palestinians are the modern day equivalent of the ancient Philistines !!
(But only to a very limited extent - in name only but not in terms of blood line, I would think).
Like Goliath was the leader of the Philistines, so too Gorbachev will be leader of the Russian forces allied with the Palestinians.
The point of similarity is that both names start off with the same two letters.
A minor matter, but still worth mentioning.
Like Goliath had several weapons (sword, spear, shield, breastplate) while David had none of those things,
Gorbachev will have all the weapons: missiles, tanks, warheads, etc.
While Christ will wield only light (Acts 9.3; Zechariah 14.7).
Yet underdog David won, and immaterial Christ will surely defeat the Antichrist (2nd Thessalonians 2.7-8).
