Where did the AMEGA button go?
May 15, 2010
by Dr. Bruggeman
I am very, very disappointed with the AMEGA Company. Not the wand itself. I have had success with it. But the company is so very unresponsive in so many ways. I simply do not have the time to help those of you who might want to buy the product, because ultimately we both run into the same problem—which is why you email or call me for help—the inability to get an order placed. The order process does not work. They don’t reply to my emails. Can’t get through to them on the phone. I’ve had it. This has been going on for several months. My patience with them is at an end. I am sorry to have raised your hopes and inconvenienced you. In retrospect, I should have waited to make sure the company not only had a good product, but was itself capable of handling the business end of things before I began promoting it. Lesson learned by this humbled one.

Abstract: David’s first-born son, Amnon, develops an unhealthy passion for his half-sister, Tamar. Despite Tamar’s pleas, Amnon rapes and then discards her. Her full brother, Absalom, pretends not to be angry and makes light of the situation. David learns of the rape and is angry, but, realizing his own sins caused the crime, is unable to punish Amnon. Two years pass before Absalom extracts vengeance by killing Amnon. Absalom flees to Gesher to his maternal grandfather’s house and remains there three years.

Abstract: David’s nephew, Joab, plots to bring Absalom back to Israel. David agrees, but will not allow Absalom to see his father’s face. After two years, Absalom forces the issue and David relents. Through the physical description of Absalom and of his actions, we can see that he is a type of non-overcomer and a type of the Saul-character, Pentecostal-age church. James explains how the Pentecostal churches are guilty of spiritual incest and are reaping the consequences.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 15
Abstract: Absalom sets himself up as a "great man" and politicks for a place of authority in David’s administration. Frustrated, he eventually throws a big barbeque party in Hebron to foment rebellion against David. Ahithophel, David’s trusted counselor, joins the revolt. David, realizing Absalom is leading in the popularity polls, flees Jerusalem to prevent a massacre, leaving behind ten concubines to keep house.

Abstract: As he flees Absalom’s rebellion, David sends the Ark back to Jerusalem, completely surrendering to God’s Will. He also takes action by ordering several spies back to Jerusalem. David’s evacuation route perfectly foreshadows Jesus’ experiences the night before His crucifixion. James reveals why Ahithophel eagerly joined Absalom’s revolt. David willingly suffers a metaphorical stoning by one of Saul’s family, understanding that God has caused it. Yet again, David illustrates the standard of heart purity necessary for overcomers.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 16:13 – 2 Samuel 17:17
Abstract: In fulfillment of prophecy, Absalom sins by lying with his father David’s concubines, on the advice of the traitorous Ahithophel. Ahithophel urges Absalom to solidify his position by immediately sending Ahithophel to kill David. Hushai, David’s spy, counsels Absalom to go in person, leading a large army. Absalom’s negative character trait of indecisiveness works to accomplish God’s plan. James highlights several Biblical truths demonstrated in the storyline.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 17:18 – 2 Samuel 18:15
Abstract: There are thrilling insights into the process of becoming an overcomer in this lesson. A couple of spies on the way to report to David are spotted and hidden by a sympathetic woman. James explains the parallels and differences of the symbology in this story and that of Rahab and Joshua’s spies. Ahithophel commits suicide, foreshadowing the actions of Judas. In violation of David’s direct order, Joab kills Absalom as he hangs in an oak tree, a significant symbol. This lesson is riddled with types, shadows and fulfillment of prophecy.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 18:16 – 19:14
Abstract: Absalom’s death and burial fulfills the Law from Deuteronomy regarding the punishment of rebellious sons. David receives the news of Absalom’s death and grieves. Joab upbraids David for loving his enemies instead of honoring his protectors. David extends conciliation to the rebels, forgives Amasa his treason and gives him Joab’s job as Israel’s top general. David’s actions foreshadow God’s eventual universal reconciliation.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 19:15-43
Abstract: As David crosses the Jordan (symbol of death) returning to Jerusalem, Shemei shows up with a thousand Benjamites to beg David’s forgiveness. Will Benjamin be the first to welcome Christ at His second coming? Five of the tribes arrive initially. James draws a parallel with Jesus’ parable of ten virgins. Israel and Judah argue over who has the greater privilege to be closer to David, foreshadowing the same quarrel among the disciples and the disagreement over doctrine among church denominations.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 20:1 – 21:1
Abstract: David arrives home and "shuts up" the ten concubines Absalom raped. He sends forces to capture the rebel Benjamite, Sheba. The murderous General Joab, jealous of his cousin Amasa, slays him. A wise woman of the city Abel, where Sheba is besieged, convinces the residents to give Sheba up and toss his head over the wall. Joab retains leadership of the army. Chapter 21 begins with events that happened earlier in David’s reign.

Scripture: 2 Samuel 21:2-14
Abstract: David allows the Gibeonites to execute seven (perfection, completion, totality) of Saul’s sons as atonement for Israel’s national sin when Saul committed genocide against them. Drawing from his personal experiences and applying the examples from Scripture in this lesson, James explains why many in the modern Christian patriot movement are in rebellion against God. We are in bondage to mystery Babylon due to our national sins. It is God’s doing.
