Absalom Is Slain in 2 Samuel 18, 192SA 182SA 19

1 min read · Chapter 69 of 222

The death of Absalom is the spiritual death of Israel. The prophet passes over the Church period and continues with Israel as the subject. It was so with the disciples also in Matt. 24:1-3. The Romans came and took away their place and nation 40 years after Jesus went away from the temple (John 11:48).
The Appearing in 2 Samuel 19, 202SA 192SA 20
David came down from Mahanaim with his host of followers. (See Jude 14, 15.) He received all who came to him at face value. Shimei is an example of this, but when he disobeyed Solomon he forfeited his life (1 Kings 2:41-46). Joab also was executed by Solomon.
At Jerusalem there happened to be there a man of Belial. His name was Sheba, the son of Bichri, a Benjamite. Belial means "worthlessness"; Sheba means "he who is coming", and Bichri means "be thou first." Sheba was the Antichrist in type (2 Thess. 2:9), a son of him who would be first. (See Isa. 14:12-14.)
The king's army pursued Sheba (Antichrist) to Beth-Maachah and besieged the stronghold. There was a wise woman in the city who counseled the people to execute Sheba and cast his head from the ramparts of the city
