The greatest foe of Israel at the time was Goliath, and his most feared weapon was his sword.

David slew Goliath, beheading him--with Goliath's own sword.

The greatest foe of humanity is the ancient serpent, and his most feared weapon is death.

The Son of David defeated the serpent, using the serpent's greatest weapon, death, to defeat him.

In the death of Jesus Christ, death--our last enemy--has died.

This is why the fear of death no longer enslaves Christians: go ahead, kill us, we will rise again to eternal life, but the enemies of God will rise again to eternal--which is to say, irrevocable--condemnation.

We fear no mere man. We are free--fully, finally, and forever.
