Women And Truth

Scripture

And you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”

~John 8:32, NIV

“The Hand That Rocks the Cradle Is the Hand That Rules the World.”

~William Wallace

I’ve read the bible through several times but never the apocrypha. I have read a lot of it but not all of it. I began reading this time with I Esdras and it is full of fascinating stories. By the way, the apocrypha is Jewish writings that did not make the cannon. Here is the story: King Darius threw a huge party and of course, his wise men were in attendance. After the party and the king retiring for a nights sleep, three of the younger wise men decided to put a note under the kings pillar; asking him to conduct a contest concerning wisdom. The question to be answered was: “What is the strongest thing in the world?”

The first wise man said ‘wine.’ When the king asks him why he said wine, his answer was wine makes all men the same. It bemuses their wits; it turns all thoughts to mirth and revelry. It makes you forget grief and debt. It makes everyone feel rich. It makes no distinction between king or servant. It enables a man to forget all his problems. The second wise man said, “The king is the strongest.” No one disobey’s his command. He commands men to go to war and they go and some die. When they return with the loot, it is given to the king. The king does as he please while everyone else stands in attendance. He even has attendants standing outside his bed chamber while he sleeps. The third wise man was a Jew who’s name was Zerubbabel. He said, “Women are stronger than wine or kings.” He said, “Women gave you birth; they raised you, they made your clothes, they planted your vineyards.” A man who has amassed great wealth can see a beautiful woman and I quote, “he gapes and stares at her with mouth open and he will prefer her to all his gold and silver.” Editorial note: she is going to get his gold and silver. A man will abandon his parents and even his country to please this beautiful woman. Zerubbabel said, “You want proof that women are the masters, do you not toil and sweat and bring home all you earn and give it to her.” {I Esdras 4:22}

BUT said Zerubbabel, “Although women are stronger than wine and kings, TRUTH is the stronger than all else.” {I Esdras 4:35}. There is injustice in wine, kings and women but no injustice in truth. Wine, women and kings and their injustice will perish but truth endures forever. Truth is strong, just, royal, majestic, authoritative and eternal. Truth is the strongest. Zerubbabel got a standing ovation from the kings court. Then Darius told Zerubbabel, “What can I do for you?” This is when Zerubbabel asks Darius to let the Jews return and rebuild the Temple.

Fascinating story, don’t you agree? Zerubbabel was one sharp cookie. I had always assumed that Darius had a dream or a vision but evidently, Zerubbabel was used of God to get the Jews released from Babylon. I agree with Zerubbabel wholeheartedly but how did he come to this conclusion. I guess he spent a lot of time thinking. It certainly substantiates the blog I wrote just a few days ago about David and Bathsheba. Women are always ahead of men. They have distinct advantages and they now how to use them. I’m telling you, she who rocks the cradle rules the world.

According to James Spann, things are going to cool off and they are giving rain for Thursday and Friday. We are extremely dry here at 1120 Iron Man. Maybe 0.2 in the last month. I did not mow last week and will not have to mow this one either. Our yard went from April green to October brown in no time.

I don’t listen to much but I listen to a little talk radio. I like Bill King and Harold Boomo Bug. The libs are doing everything possible to stop football. I have never seen such insanity. Hopefully, high school football will kick off this Friday night but they have delayed college for a month. It is not about football, it is about the subtle manipulation going on in the world of politics. All I am saying is: they are going to do everything that can to sabotage college football and it is politically motivated. Covid-19 is a smoke screen. They are going to create as much confusions and havoc as they can between now and November 3. I was remodeling one of our out buildings just days ago and I removed a face board. Underneath the board was tiny tracks and what looked to be large ants. Well, it wasn’t ants, it was termites. They had been eating away at the plate of my building and I didn’t know they were there. The dems are sneaky. They lie and deceive but they do not have me fooled. They are promoting all the insanity.
