While we were on the bus travelling, Moshe would from time to time educate us bunch of shamefully poor-in-bible-literature-and-current-affairs people. and here's one of them.
Israel has the advantage of LOCATION. no natural resources, or anything else. the only advantage it has is that of LOCATION. good for trading, business. Philistines had the upper hand because they were equipped with iron, while Israelites were equipped with only bronze. David was the one who won the Philistines for good. with 5 stones. Why 5 stones though? Besides the reason of 5=grace, which pastor prince has consistantly taught us, Moshe brought further interpretative light.
the act of David picking up 5 stones prophetically implies that he will in time to come knock down the 5 cities of the Philistines. Namely, Gaza, Ashkelon, Ashdod, Ekron and Gath. Which he did. interesting huh.
Philistines VS Palestinians? Nothing in common besides the name. Interesting to note that Palestinians and Jews can actually be good friends, unlike portrayed in the media these days.
also, along the way, we passed by some tomb stones..
rolled away.. hallelujah! =D
