storehouse of treasures. <strong>The</strong>re are many wonderful types<br />

here, but let us look at the number 300 in verse 17:<br />

"And he made THREE HUNDRED shields of beaten gold;<br />

THREE pounds of gold went to one shield: and the king put<br />

them in the house of the forest of Lebanon."<br />

Here is another instance where the numbers three and three<br />

hundred are used together. Notice what it was...Shields.<br />

Implements of war. Paul says it will turn away every fiery<br />

dart of the wicked one. Notice that it was of gold. Gold<br />

speaks of that which is of God, divine. And it was of "beaten<br />

gold", that which had been processed under the hammer.<br />

Peter says "the trial of your FAITH, being much more<br />

precious than of gold..." <strong>The</strong> golden shield of faith. Enough<br />

for the entire army of 300, that great Army of God that goes<br />

forth to bring deliverance to all creation. Praise God! Why the<br />

number THREE? <strong>The</strong> answer to that in just a little while.<br />

Right now let's look at I Chron. 11:20...<br />

"And Abishai the brother of Joab, he was chief of the THREE:<br />

for lifting up his spear against THREE HUNDRED he slew<br />

them, and had a name among the THREE."<br />

Now here was a case of supernatural deliverance. One man<br />

against 300. God had to be on his side. <strong>The</strong>re's no doubt<br />

about it being supernatural. Again we find the 3 and 300 tied<br />

together, as a mighty deliverance is wrought in Israel. So we<br />

see today the need for a great deliverance for God's people,<br />

as well as the entire lost world. And God is bringing forth His<br />

vessel, a company of blood-bought, Spirit-filled overcomers<br />

who will be measured by the rod of God for the day when<br />

they will go into action against the forces of hell.<br />

Enoch walked with God THREE HUNDRED years (Gen. 5:22).<br />

<strong>The</strong>n, and not before, he passed through the vail into the<br />

Presence of the Eternal God without going by way of the<br />

grave. A mighty victory over death, a glorious deliverance<br />

from the bondage that was upon other men. He did it after<br />

walking with God for three hundred years - the number of<br />

supernatural deliverance.<br />
