Giants in the Wilderness: The Great Tribulation
\==Giants in the Wilderness: The Great Tribulation==
In a small, quiet village, nestled between rolling hills and ancient forests, lived a man named Elias. Elias was a devout Christian, a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ, and a man of remarkable skill. What set Elias apart from others was his ability with a slingstone—a skill that rivaled even the legendary David of the Bible. Over the years, Elias had honed his craft to such precision that he could strike a moving target at 100 yards with a hairsbreadth of accuracy. This gift, he insisted, was not born merely of natural talent but through prayer, muscle memory, and divine guidance.
Elias often explained his gift to those who sought his counsel. "This skill," he would say, "is not achieved by brainpower alone. It is through prayer and reliance on the Lord that my hands are steady and my aim true. My body, the temple of the Holy Ghost, must remain clean, undefiled, and consecrated to God from birth. Only then can this temple be a vessel for His power."
He trained his apprentice, a young believer named Caleb, in the ways of the sling. "To develop this kind of muscle memory," Elias instructed, "you must care for your body and spirit from the very beginning of life. Keep your temple clean. Once the body, the temple, is defiled, it is defiled. It is not enough to begin trying to be clean later. From birth, you must avoid what defiles: no vaccines, no injections, no fornication, no cutting of the skin. The world’s systems are designed to disrupt your God-given harmony and force you to start anew, like a child learning to walk."
Elias expanded on what it meant to keep the body clean. "Avoid fornication," he urged Caleb. "Fornication not only defiles the body but also distances you from God. It clouds the mind and weakens the spirit, making you more susceptible to sin and less capable of hearing His voice. Purity is not just an act of obedience but a shield against spiritual corruption."
He also emphasized the importance of vigilance against modern deceptions. "The world is full of things that defile the body and soul," Elias explained. "From substances they inject into your body to the ideologies they try to inject into your mind. Vaccines and injections, while presented as beneficial, often carry elements that disrupt the natural harmony God created within us. Avoid them."
Caleb listened intently, absorbing the wisdom Elias shared. "The enemies of God want to destroy what He has made," Elias continued. "They seek to make us forget even the simplest of skills, forcing us to start anew like a child learning to walk. But if you remain steadfast and undefiled from birth, your strength will not diminish, and your skill will sharpen with time, just as Moses’ strength and eyesight did not fail him even in old age."
As the years passed, Elias and Caleb lived and trained in relative peace. But the world around them grew darker. Society became hostile to those who followed Christ, and whispers of giants returning to the earth began to circulate—giants like those of Noah’s time, obedient only to Satan. Elias knew these whispers were true, for the Bible foretold that the days of Noah would return before the coming of the Lord.
“These giants are not like ordinary men,” Elias warned Caleb. “They regenerate. Cutting off a limb will not stop them. But strike them in the head, and you can bring them down. David did not merely slay Goliath with a stone; he finished the task by cutting off his head with Goliath’s own sword. This will be our example when the giants return.”
As the great tribulation began, the world descended into chaos. The mark of the beast system enslaved most of humanity, and the faithful remnant fled to the wilderness. Elias and Caleb, armed with their slings and the Word of God, took refuge in the forest. They relied on simple tools and their faith, knowing that technology and weapons would fail them in this time of trial.
One fateful day, as Elias and Caleb were scouting the forest, the ground began to tremble. A giant, towering above the treetops, was tracking them. Its grotesque form and glowing red eyes were enough to strike fear into anyone. But Elias stood firm, sling in hand, praying silently as he prepared for the battle.
The giant charged, its footsteps shaking the earth. Elias loaded a smooth stone into his sling and began to swing it. “Lord, guide my hand,” he prayed. As the giant closed the distance, Elias released the stone with a precision that only divine help could achieve. The stone flew through the air, striking the giant squarely in the forehead. The force of the impact shattered the creature’s skull, and it fell with a thunderous crash.
Elias approached the fallen giant, drawing a sword he had found during their time in the wilderness. With one swift motion, he severed the giant’s head, ensuring it could not rise again. He turned to Caleb, his face calm but resolute. “This is just the beginning,” he said. “The days will grow darker, and we must remain steadfast. The Lord will sustain us if we trust in Him and keep our temples clean from birth."
The two believers continued their journey, knowing they were part of a remnant chosen to stand against the forces of darkness. Their faith, skill, and reliance on God’s power would be their weapons in the darkest time of human history, the great tribulation. And though the world seemed lost, they held fast to the hope of Christ’s return, when every tear would be wiped away, and His kingdom would reign forever.
