John 16:33
“I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
In various parts of the Revelation, we are urged to be overcomers and that our Lord overcame by His blood. For us to overcome, there must be some obstacles. This is true to the very present day where Christians in many parts of the world are struggling. As an example, the province of which used to be ancient Nineveh, is once again under threat and its Christians residents are physically persecuted (http://www.news.com.au/world/tales-of-terror-and-destruction-emerge-as-jihadist-militants-target-christians-and-those-they-regard-as-heretics-in-iraqs-city-of-mosul/story-fndir2ev-1227008268641). The threat and dangers are real. Many have fled. We are called to overcome but also to exercise wisdom, as David himself fled Saul. More so, we need to overcome the evil spiritual forces which has increased its activities.
