Does slavery still exist in the USA?

King Solomon, USA Repeat Performance of Folly? Part One

 

Is the USA on a path to replicate the history of past failed nations?

In a previous post, I referred to a blogger’s post,  Solomon as a Political Leader, and challenged readers to  compare Solomon’s reign to our present election issues.  In this series of posts, I will relate segments of the bloggers post to current USA events and compare political policies.

King Solomon on the Future 

Since no one knows the future, who can tell someone else what is to come? (Ecclesiastes 8:7)

However, history has been known to repeat over time. You decide if the USA is repeating the same follies as recorded in history and whether or not the USA will also fail as a nation after reading this post.

Why Study History? Past and Present.

The purpose of historical inquiry is not simply to present facts but to search for an interpretation of the past.  It is commonly acknowledged that an understanding of the past is fundamental to an understanding of the present.

Comparison of King Solomon’s to USA  Economic Policies  

Excerpt King Solomon’s 

“However, there are also hints in the text that strongly allude to some glaring inadequacies in Solomon’s economic expertise. For example, 1 Kings 9.11 mentions Solomon ceding 20 cities in Galilee to King Hiram as payment for timber and gold imported from Tyre. Such a payment method implies that Solomon’s state treasury had a serious fiscal deficit, despite all the alleged wealth accrued through international trade and tribute.” 

King Solomon on Debt

Do not make a habit of striking hands, of going surety for debts. If you have no resources to settle them, why should your bed be taken from under you! (Proverbs 22:25, 26)

USA Comparison of  ‘Serious Fiscal Deficit’ of Tribute (Taxes)

USA current National Debt is approaching $20 Trillion.

This years 2016 Deficit is $687 Billion, a 34 percent increase from last year.

USA –  Comparison of  ‘ceding 20 cities’ and ‘international trade.’

USA cities are not being ceded to our debtors (yet) same as King Solomon ceded Israel cities to  pay his debt. However, USA farmland, real estate, and businesses are being bought up in a fire sale by foreign interests because of President Obama, and the Hillary Clinton’s belief in open borders and globalism.

If interested, read these two previous posts about USA international trade agreements are ceding US assets to foreign interests.

bring about the same political results to the USA as King Solomon’s did to Israel?

King Solomon

What has been will be again,
what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun. (Ecclesiastes 1:9)

In My Opinion

All we have to do is read or listen to the news about the USA election and compare the circumstances of 3000 years ago and the truth of Solomon’s above statement is substantiated.

I challenge you to read this article and compare Solomon’s reign to today’s election issues and decide if you agree. I only hope and pray that the same results will not be the same.

As you read the article, I also challenge you to identify current political ideologies and terminologies we now use such as statists, secularism, conservatism, liberalism, intellectualism, elitism, etc.

Solomon as a Political Leader HERE

Near the end of his life he wrote his Ecclesiastes after he realized how he wasted his life chasing after the wind.

When will we wise up and stop repeating the follies of past generations?  We can start by following the advice in the Conclusion of Ecclesiastes.   

The Conclusion of the Matter (Chapter 12)

⁹ Not only was the Teacher wise, but he also imparted knowledge to the people. He pondered and searched out and set in order many proverbs.10 The Teacher searched to find just the right words, and what he wrote was upright and true.

¹¹ The words of the wise are like goads, their collected sayings like firmly embedded nails—given by one shepherd.^[b] 12 Be warned, my son, of anything in addition to them.

Of making many books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.

¹³ Now all has been heard;
here is the conclusion of the matter:
Fear God and keep his commandments,
for this is the duty of all mankind.
¹⁴ For God will bring every deed into judgment,
including every hidden thing,
whether it is good or evil.

King Solomon and John Wayne shared the same concern about the folly of exultation and use of the race cards and religious discrimination for their nations.  Why?

King Solomon, Bible, ISIS

 

Ever wonder why in the Bible Old Testament the Israel warriors were so brutal inwarfare? For example, the passage that states Joab killed all the men and male children when he warred against Edom, only to be chastised when he returned by King David for not also killing all the women and female children. What does this Bible passage have to do with King Solomon and ISIS? If interested, read on.

If news reporters added one of these two words to describe the ‘who’ or ‘what’ of all news articles, it could help make this world a better place.
