In true sense this belongs to the genre of fables but Jotham presents a universal truth. Especially it is relevant for our times.
Abimelech is a bramble but his base, all vain and shallow shall never produce worthwhile fruits. "Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?(Matt.7:16)". They may go by fancy names and like the one spearheaded by Theudas, their movements are doomed to fail. Now Jotham asks, "And the bramble said unto the trees, If in truth ye anoint me king over you, then come and put your trust in my shadow: and if not, let fire come out of the bramble, and devour the cedars of Lebanon." Such brambles are foisted upon nations, which owe to a proxy war between nations of saints in light and of children of disobedience. 'What concord has Christ with Belial?"
"Thus God rendered the wickedness of Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in slaying his seventy brethren:./ And all the evil of the men of Shechem did God render upon their heads: and upon them came the curse of Jotham the son of Jerubbaal.(vv.56-57)"
