David knew that Jehovah is loyal and cares deeply for those who love him. Even though his life was in danger when he composed the third Psalm, with eyes of faith, David saw "the angel of Jehovah camping "all around" him. (Psalm 34:7) Perhaps David was comparing Jehovah's angel to a soldier camping the field, always on the alert for the enemy. Although he himself was a mighty man of war and Jehovah had promised him the kingship, David did not reply on his ability to sling a stone or to wield a sword to defeat the enemy. (1 Samuel 16:13; 24:12) David put his trust in God, confident that Jehovah's angel 'rescues those fearing him.' Of course, we do not expect to receive miraculous protection today. But we we know that no one who p;ut his trust in Jehovag will suffer everlasting harm.
In the near future, our trust in Jehovah's ability to protect ius will be put to the test. When God of Magog, a coalition of nations, attacks God's people, our lives will appear to be in danger. We will need to be convinced that Jehovah can and will deliver us. To the nations, we will seem the defenseless sheep with no one to protect us. (Ezekiel 38:10-12) We will be unarmed, untrained in warfare. The nations will see us as easy targets. They will not see what we see with out eyes of faith-a host of angels camped all around God's people, ready to defend us. How the nations see them? They have no spiritual vision. What a surprise is in store for them when the heavenly armies come to our aid! - REVELATIONS 19:11, 14, 15.
