Do Biblical parables explain ‘cause and effect’?

Was America’s Founders Expectations and Realities Explained in Yahshua’s Parable of the Sower?

Matthew 13:3-9 - https://biblehub.com/isr/matthew/13.htm

(3) And He spoke to them much in parables, saying, “See, the sower went out to sow. (4) And as he sowed, some indeed fell by the wayside, and the birds came and devoured them. (5) And others fell on rocky places, where they did not have much soil, and immediately they sprang up, because they had no depth of soil. (6) But when the sun was up they were scorched, and because they had no root they withered. (7) And others fell among thorns, and the thorns came up and choked them. (8) And others fell on good soil and yielded a crop, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. (9) He who has ears to hear, let him hear!”

During "Reconstruction"; Which 13th Article of Amendment ceded our natural "state" into (28USC3002(15)) 14th Amendment citizenship?

Tory - https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/tory - TO'RY, noun [said to be an Irish word, denoting a robber; . . . ] The name given to an adherent to the ancient constitution of England and to the apostolical hierarchy. The tories form a party which are charged with supporting more arbitrary principles in government than the whigs, their opponents.

In America, during the revolution, those who opposed the war, and favored the claims of Great Britain, were called tories.

Whig - https://webstersdictionary1828.com/Dictionary/whig - WHIG, noun [origin uncertain.] One of a political party which had its origin in England in the seventeenth century, in the reign of Charles I. or II., when great contests existed respecting the royal prerogatives and the rights of the people. Those who supported the king in his high claims, were called tories, and the advocates of popular rights were called whigs. During the revolution in the United States, the friends and supporters of the war and the principles of the revolution, were called whigs, and those who opposed them, were called tories and royalists.

Where then, when tories scarce get clear, shall whigs and congresses appear?

Acts 17:16-34 - Sha’ul’s instruction on Sowing and Watering

https://biblehub.com/isr/acts/17.htm

(16) But while Sha’ul (Paul) was waiting for them at Athens, his spirit was stirred up within him when he saw that the city was utterly idolatrous.

Sha’ul was observant (alert, circumspect, conscientious, conscious, discerning, law-abiding, obedient, perspicacious, punctilious, receptive, sensible, sensitive, vigilant).

(22) And having stood in the midst of the Areopagus Sha’ul said, “Men of Athens, I see that you are very religious in every matter.

   Sha’ul’s words related his observations to the men of Athens.

(23) “For passing through and observing the objects of your worship, I even found an altar with this inscription: TO THE UNKNOWN MIGHTY ONE. Not knowing then whom you worship, I make Him known to you:

   He acknowledged their religiosity and what he observed on the inscription. He used what he observed and acknowledged for his “teaching moment”.

(24) “יהוה who made the world and all that is in it, this One being Master of heaven and earth, does not dwell in dwellings made with hands. (See 7:48.) (25) “Nor is He served with men’s hands – as if needing any – Himself giving to all life, and breath, and all else.

   In his teaching moment, Sha’ul included: Facts based on natural laws.

And hearing of the resurrection of the dead, some indeed mocked, while others said, “We shall hear you again concerning this.” (33) And so Sha’ul went out from among them.

   Some mocked. (They may have even argued or were silent.) Some conditionally accepted what Sha’ul said and desired to learn more.

(34) But some men joined him and believed, among them Dionusios the Areopagite, and a woman named Damaris, and others with them.

   Some fully accepted what Sha’ul said and ‘ran the race’ (Hebrews 12:1-2)

Questions to be asked.

Could it be that those who penned the 1776 Declaration with its three (3) part remedy evolved from those who ‘ran the race’?

Did they use an IDEAL method for problem solving and decision making?

(1) Were the Causes accurately IDENTIFIED, (2) Was a Remedy DESCRIBED, and a process for accomplishment EVALUATED and (3) ACTED upon?

Why was "A discourse on the study of the law . . . by William Blackstone, ... The second edition. 1758.." to be an "introductory lecture" to be "read in the public schools"? - https://archive.org/details/bim_eighteenth-century_a-discourse-on-the-study_blackstone-sir-william_1758/page/28/mode/2up?view=theater&q=bar+

Should "WE, the people" - https://theultimateweapons.blogspot.com/2020/10/for-purpose-of-education-and-governance.html#_edn1 - be learning from our successes and failures and looking, again, to the IDEAL method of problem solving and decision making?

Should tax paid Teachers and Professors in America's Public Schools be using Samuel Johnson’s and Webster’s 1828 Dictionary definitions of the words used at the time of the penning of America’s founding documents?

Should the biblical principles of law gleaned in the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes be taught to America's pupils and students?

The Declaration of Independence, July 4, 1776

In Congress, July 4, 1776.

The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, When in the Course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to (1) dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to (2) assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should (3) declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, --That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness. . . .

1787 – Constitution of the United States

https://www.archives.gov/founding-docs/constitution-transcript

We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Article. I.
Section. 1.

All legislative Powers herein granted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and House of Representatives.

Section. 8.

. . . To exercise exclusive Legislation in all Cases whatsoever, over such District (not exceeding ten Miles square) as may, by Cession of particular States, and the Acceptance of Congress, become the Seat of the Government of the United States, and to exercise like Authority over all Places purchased by the Consent of the Legislature of the State in which the Same shall be, for the Erection of Forts, Magazines, Arsenals, dock-Yards, and other needful Buildings;—And

To make all Laws which shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers vested by this Constitution in the Government of the United States, or in any Department or Officer thereof.

Now that you know for whom this 1787 Constitution was established, search it for the phrase “of America”. How many times does it appear?

For whom has Congress been assembling to legislate ‘rules of law’ for 13th Amendment citizens?

************

On a personal note - I woke Monday, April 28, 2025 with a thought about the omer count; i.e., the 50 days to Pentecost - and, because of all that's going on in America, used the '7 years to a day' count to determine how this may be related to Yahshua's spawning of the comforter on the Acts 2 120 people who were gathered after His resurrection.

What I found when I traced a timeline of what was happening 350 (7 years x 50 days) years ago; I.e., 1675 AD was interesting - https://www.thoughtco.com/american-history-timeline-1675-1700-4076980.

Because of my previous mathematics based on that Acts 2 event, and pursuant to the Liberty Bell's Leviticus 25 inscription and Trump and Musk's weeding process, I'm wondering if we're finally ready for the harvesting?

CAVEAT EMPTOR!

When words are missing from our vocabulary we miss the concepts those words convey.

Concealment is the act of intentionally or unintentionally not revealing information that should be disclosed and would otherwise affect the terms or creation of a contract. A concealment can occur through either purposeful misrepresentation or withholding of material facts. Where the information could not have been known by the other party and it is known to be material by the concealing party, the concealment can give grounds for nullifying the contract.

There are three types of concealments which are as follows:

Active concealment: The non-disclosure by words or actions in a situation where there is a positive duty on the person to disclose something.
Fraudulent concealment: The concealment where the person conceals something with the intent to deceive or defraud the other party.
Passive concealment: The act of silence in a situation where the person had a duty to speak and disclose relevant information.

Active concealment: Defining Seigniorage.

https://www.investopedia.com/terms/s/seigniorage.asp

“Seigniorage is counted as revenue for a government when the money it creates is worth more than it costs to produce. This revenue is often used by governments to finance portions of their expenditures without having to collect taxes. If, for example, it costs the U.S. government 5 cents to produce $1, the seigniorage is 95 cents or the difference between the two amounts. Seigniorage gives a country the potential to turn a profit when it produces money. . . . “

Material facts: Knowing the current cost of producing new currency.

From the March 1, 2024 Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System’s website. https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/currency_12771.htm

”Each year, the Federal Reserve Board projects the likely demand for new currency, and places an order with the Department of the Treasury's Bureau of Engraving and Printing, which produces U.S. currency and charges the Board for the cost of production. . . . ”

Fraudulent concealment: Taxing the people on the face-value of the Notes produced.

The calculations in the chart below are reasonably consistent with the Lackawanna County, Pa 2024 budget that was published in the November 21, 2023 edition of The Times-Tribune Newspaper.

https://www.thetimes-tribune.com/news/lackawanna-county-2024-budget-relies-on-higher-property-tax-one-time-revenues/article_e917401d-0d7c-5b12-81c5-c8f9520ade29.html

Passive concealment: Failure to disclose relevant information.

The formulas shown in column’s C, D and E work in Excel and Libre Office and may with other programs.

To calculate the proposed costs in your venue, fill the stipulated amount needed in column A 2-8. In D 13 enter the number of people in your venue (https://www.census.gov/popclock/ may be of help).

Without using the word "seigniorage" the process is explained in this 1937 article wherein a constitutional remedy for redress is provided for the mobilization of healthy communities.
