David's third son born to Maacah at Hebron (2 Sa.3:3). The divine Will with regards to throne of the seed from David's loins was fixed. His reign would be forever. God had set his Son for that role. King David before his death spoke to Solomon," If thy children take heed to their way, to walk before me in truth with all their heart and with all their soul, there shall not fail thee (said he) a man on the throne of Israel". Absalom could have stepped into the role. But murder of Ammon disqualified him as his own life later would be shaped by his father whose adultery with Bathsheba and murder. In the case of his father Prophet Nathan had said, "Thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will raise up evil against thee out of thine own house (2 Sa.12:11)". He was very much a victim of his own impulsive actions.
The Spirit in organizing the Father-Son relationship is not about history but about relationships. "Thy will be done in earth as in heaven." Our relationships in earth follow a pattern accordingly beginning with Seth who stepped in the breach of Abel. Seth foreshadowed how Christ would step into the breach in order to make peace between God and man. The Spirit gives us a clear proof how we are to approach the God document.
Consider the similarities between the Life of Jesus and of Absalom. So it is not coincidence that the latter meets his end, "And he was taken up between the heaven and the earth," as Jesus was hung up in mid-air. Instead of Judas Iscariot we have Ahithophel who hanged himself because of Absalom who spurned his advice. (2 Sa.17:22) Either we are for Christ or against him. It is the lesson we may derive from it.
Absalom was in a hurry to take control of his father's throne. In order to spearhead a revolt from Hebron he lied. His actions would seem as taken from the playbook of Satan. His blatant lie may have fooled David but not God. He precipitated the events even as the red dragon did "And there was war in heaven."(Re.12:9-13) (Selected)
