This passage opens some entry points to bring back the King.
2Sa 19:10  But Absalom, whom we anointed over us, has died in battle. Now therefore, why do you say nothing about bringing back the king?”
2Sa 19:11  So King David sent to Zadok and Abiathar the priests, saying, “Speak to the elders of Judah, saying, ‘Why are you the last to bring the king back to his house, since the words of all Israel have come to the king, to his very house?
2Sa 19:12  You are my brethren, you are my bone and my flesh. Why then are you the last to bring back the king?‘
2Sa 19:13  And say to Amasa, ‘Are you not my bone and my flesh? God do so to me, and more also, if you are not commander of the army before me continually in place of Joab.’ ”
2Sa 19:14  So he swayed the hearts of all the men of Judah, just as the heart of one man, so that they sent this word to the king: “Return, you and all your servants!”
2Sa 19:15  Then the king returned and came to the Jordan. And Judah came to Gilgal, to go to meet the king, to escort the king across the Jordan.
The entry point of Gilgal
Gilgal is significant because it is where the Joshua set up the memorial stones form the Jordan where the Priests stood with the Ark of the Covenant and the waters were cut off so that the nation could pass through the mighty river.
Gilgal is a place of circumcision of the new generation that was to enter and possess the Promised Land.
Gilgal is also where Israel ate their first Passover in Canaan – symbolic of Jesus the Passover Lamb.
This is an entry point in the spirit that David also used to come back.
 
The like manner of entry.
When it comes to Jesus returning – our King in His glory will come to us like He went – he ascended in the clouds and He will return in “like manner”
Act 1:9  Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight.
Act 1:10  And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel,
Act 1:11  who also said, “Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.”
Jesus passed through the Jordan in baptism and was escorted into Jerusalem on a donkey with cries of Hosanna to the King.
 
The first or last to being back the king?
This is also an indictment against the ministries on earth who deny Christ as Head of His Church and seek to build their own kingdoms versus preparing the Bride of Christ and gathering people to say:
“The Spirit and the Bride say come Lord Jesus Come”
There needs to be a collective call form the Church for Jesus to return. For most it would spoil their charismatic party if Jesus came now!
Rev 22:7  “Behold, I am coming quickly! Blessed is he who keeps the words of the prophecy of this book.”
Rev 22:8  Now I, John, saw and heard these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things.
Rev 22:9  Then he said to me, “See that you do not do that. For I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book. Worship God.”
Rev 22:10  And he said to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand.
Rev 22:11  He who is unjust, let him be unjust still; he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; he who is righteous, let him be righteous still; he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
Rev 22:12  “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to every one according to his work.
Rev 22:13  I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
Rev 22:14  Blessed are those who do His commandments,
