Absalomic Papacy!

 In my studies this morning about the history of David , I came across the quotation(s) below about the history of Absalom over his scheme for usurpation of Power of King David, (his father), which is a fitting symbol for Papacy of the tool it uses to perform it's traitorous actions and of what the sympathizers think of it but in reality it is Absalomic in nature.

“And now the cloak of religious devotion was assumed to conceal his traitorous designs. . . In popular estimation, the prince was a hero rather than an offender, and he set himself to gain the hearts of the people. ”EP 529 - 530

The history is contained in the book of (2 Samuel 13 - 19).

Perhaps the best way to begin is first to get the understanding of ' what was' in the Bible so as to draw the lessons to 'what is' in the present society, specifically in the 'Christian' society . Let us consider this verse ; " Now all these things happened unto them for ensamples: and they are written for our admonition, upon whom the ends of the world are come." 1 Corinthians 10:11 KJV The apostle Paul here admonishes us to consider what happened to the Old Testament people; for whatever happened unto them has a probability of repeating in the present generation, thus we can concur with the Preacher ,that;   " That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which will be done: and there is nothing new under the sun.
