THE STORY:
4000 B.C. –
Fallen angels from heaven pursue and mate with earthly women; their spawn are the Nephilim, the giant people.
1000 B.C. -
18 year-old David is running down a valley to fight Goliath. He remembers the last time he was this scared. He was only 10 years old then. 10 year-old David is chasing a lion that has run off with one of his father’s sheep.
When David corners the lion, the small wooden club in his hand suddenly seems worthless; he is petrified.
When David’s eyes open from this short prayer they are the eyes of a warrior.
Young David clubs the lion and smashes it to the ground. He picks up the lost lamb in his arms and heads home.
7 YEARS LATER -
David stands toe to toe with the Philistine hero Goliath.
David remembers his father’s words “What fights for us is also not of flesh and blood. Jehovah Saoboth, Lord of heaven’s armies, goes before us.” Looking over his shoulder high in the sky, David sees the army of the Lord.
It is a fierce army of angels, completely made of light. He is encouraged.
David and three of his mighty men ambush 200 Philistines.
At the right time they heave their boulders down the cliff causing a small avalanche
The avalanche injures many soldiers ahead of them, as David and his men chase the avalanche down the cliff. The avalanche also blocks off both ends of the pass, locking David and his men in a pit with the remaining 200 Philistines.
David and his men become powerful warriors and defenders of the people.
Joab, Abashai and David are surrounded by 2000 soldiers in a field.
The bodies of those they kill pile on top of each other, forming a hill. They defend themselves from the summit.
Once a coward, Minesh is now considered one of David’s fiercest men. One winter, when there was no one to fight day when Minesh comes across a bear trapped in a pit. Wanting to test himself once and for all, Minesh jumps into the pit with a small knife;
David and his men set out on a quest to reclaim the promise land for Israel and to rid it of the last remaining giants, Goliath’s brothers.
After defeating an army of giants and rescuing his true love, David is finally crowned King of Israel.
