Is the House Hearing a direct correlation and/or repeat performance of an ancient Biblical “Sour Grapes” event that occurred during the reign of King Solomon?
Today’s Chicago Tribune headline is titled, ‘Ousted Ambassador felt intimidated.’
I listened to ten minutes of testimony of the former Ukraine US Ambassador and could not help but to relate or correlate the present hearing as a repeat performance of an ancient sour grape’s scenario described event in the Bible.
The Purpose of This Post
Is to describe the ancient event for readers to discern if what is occurring in our contemporary times is just another “nothing new under the sun” repeat performance which keeps occurring every new generation as observed by King Solomon.
King Solomon
He who lays plans to do evil gets the name “Intriguer: (Proverbs 24:8)
Excerpt as a Lily Among Thorns.
“My intriguer half-brother apparently believes he is the rightful successor to my throne even though he prostrated himself before me and swore allegiance to me.”
What’s My Point?
Anyone listening or reading the news since the 2016 election understands how surprised, disappointed, and even outraged the Democrats became after President Trump won.
Even though the Washington Swamp legislators have sworn their alliance to the Constitutionality of the election results, there appears to be, in my opinion, a host of political intriguers working to impeach President Trump.
In ancient times, it was not unusual when a new King began his reign to kill anyone who he felt might become a future threat or intrigue against him in the future.
In our contemporary times, it is common practice for a newly elected legislator to ask everyone appointed by the previous legislator for a resignation letter from the former aids and then decide who to keep or let go.
Over time our society has decided this is a more Christian humane way rather than kill whoever he suspects will intrigue against him.
When King Solomon began his reign, he did not take the advice of his father King David to get rid of the enemies he named for Solomon to warn him of potential enemies. Instead he wanted to avoid conflict when he began his reign by asking everyone to swear allegiance. His half-brother Adonijah bowed before him and vowed his allegiance and acceptance of Solomon being selected over him even though he was an older half-brother of King David.
King Solomon later ordered Adonijah to be killed after he broke his vow and attempted a trick plot to overthrow Solomon to acknowledge Adonijah to be the rightful successor instead of Solomon.
In My Opinion
My point that after listening to the testimony of the Ukraine ambassador dismissed by Trump testimony, frankly, in my opinion, both the Muller Report and the House Hearing appears to me to be a sour grape repeat performance, same as during King Solomon’s reign.
If Interested
The above Excerpt of the Biblical Fiction novel As a Lily Among Thorns of the wisdom conversations, I surmised of conversations between King Solomon and the Queen of Sheba. (Chapter 20)
The novel is a contemporary application to acquaint readers of the proverbial wisdom of King Solomon writings recorded in the Bible.
In the Source Link below is an explanation of why Adonijah was put to death by King Solomon.
You Decide
Since 2016, have we listening and reading a repeat performance of Sour Grapes intriguers who lost the election and even though they swore to uphold the election results, they are instead repeating the same intrigue trivks as Adonijah?
When will we ever wise up that there is nothing new under the sun about political intrigue instigated by Sour Grapes losers?
Is the Ambassador being used by those “playing power politics” as stated in the Source Link below?
Shouldn’t our Republic Nation be united by the Constitution instead of divided by intriguers?

Here’s the thing Conservatives are missing with this constant “sour grapes” concept regarding anyone.. the Dems specifically.. want to get rid of Trump. If you or anyone else.. Liberal or Conservative… simply voted for Trump to avoid anything Clinton, that’s fine with me. In fact, I voted for Hillary to avoid Trump. That’s how we tend to vote. But here’s where I pass judgement to Trump supporters…. it’s been three years of divisive chaos coming from the White House, caustic behavior, pushing the limit of the Constitution than for no other reason but to impose a personal agenda and cater to a huge amount of personal bias, with an ignorance of politics and traditional institutional norms that make a president presidential, not to mention all the emolument issues, and moral bullying that has resulted in impeachment proceedings. If you are STILL a Trump supporter after all this… accepting ALL this (and more) all for some benign idea that “he’s rough around the edges but his changes are making American great again” that’s where I pass some level of moral judgement toward Trump supporters. That somehow all this political and social chaos (and it’s going to get way worse) is ok… that his methods justify the means.
No. None of this is about any “sour grapes” over 2016… nor some Hillary loss. We.. as a society.. are way beyond that.

Doug,
Thanks for your comment.
Frankly, in my opinion, we are both pawns of political intriguers of crony capitalism and special interests regardless of pollical parties we chose in the last election.
You ending comment “None of this is about any “sour grapes” over 2016… nor some Hillary loss. We. as a society. are way beyond that.” Is probably your personal opinion of what you hope our government leaders would strive to accomplish…?
However, there is nothing new under the sun about numerous attempts to perfect society into utopia.
.
All fail to some degree and over time wind up repeating the same folly of past generations.
What is needed in my opinion is for voters to wise up and press for term limits to minimize the repeat performances of the same leaders refusing to compromise to maintain power of tribal politics.
Until that happens, we are all going to continue being pawns.
My advice is to keep; tweeting you legislators. It probably won’t accomplish much other than to make us feel better until the next election.
Perhaps if we vote to hopefully keep changing legislators to minimize the intriguers plots legislators get infected with, same as King Solomon, while in Congress until we elect a saint to perform a miracle.
Regards and good will blogging.

A fair reply. But striving for a better life.. or the Utopia you refer to, is a human condition, generally never reached simply because everyone’s measure of a Utopia is different and never universally satiated. Amazing at it seems to think this.. many Trump supporters are definitely assuming his mere existence as President is as close to a Utopia as we have ever reached. In religious folks are drawing some line between Trump as being divine intervention from God.
Are we pawns? That presumes there’s a higher authority carrying out some plan that requires “us” to be pawns toward an unscrupulous end. Oddly.. Trump has no plan other than what he feels he wants to do each day. His mantra is solidly only that he is President and the Constitution says he can do damn well what he wants. A lot of Americans love that. I do not. If anything… I don’t allow myself to fall for any human being with that kind of “charisma” and surrender myself to it. So in that case I am not being a pawn to him. Conservatives will never admit to that.. saying that they love his fulfilling of campaign promises as if that were something unique. Obama, at this time in his presidency, had more fulfilled promises by comparison. The issue then becomes… what’s the substance of the promises being promised.

Doug,
Just try to keep in mind that Trump won the 2016 election and if anyone can come up with better solutions, they have to convince voters in the next election instead of plotting intrigues and stalling Bills in Congress.

And as long as we keep in mind that while Trump’s win is justified by the process.. he did not win the popular vote. So right off the bat he did not have the will of the majority of voters.
