CHAPTER THREE OF THIS GREAT BOOK OF ECCLESISTES HAS TO DO WITH AGE, TIME AND SEASONS.
Ecclesiastes 3:1 To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose (BUSINESS) under the heaven:
3:2 A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
EVERYTHING IS IN ITS OWN SEASON.
3:3 A time to kill (JUDICIALLY), and a time to heal (A TIME TO TAKE OUT CRIMINALS JUDICIALLY AND A TIME TO HEAL FROM LOSING SOMEONE); a time to break down (MOURN), and a time to build up (RECOVER);
3:4 A time to weep, and a time to laugh; a time to mourn, and a time to dance (ENJOY LIFE);
3:5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
A TIME TO GATHER THE STONES FROM THE FIELD AND A TIME TO BUILD A HOUSE.
3:6 A time to get, and a time to lose (A TIME TO BUY AND A TIME TO SELL); a time to keep, and a time to cast away;
3:7 A time to rend (A SIGN FOR MOURNING), and a time to sew (HEAL); a time to keep silence, and a time to speak;
3:8 A time to love, and a time to hate; a time of war, and a time of peace.
3:9 What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboureth?
THE FLESH DIES; YOU CAN'T TAKE YOUR RICHES WITH YOU.
3:10 I have seen the travail (I'VE SEEN THE BUSINESSES), which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised in it.
IN OTHER WORDS, I KNOW HOW TO OPERATE A BUSINESS.
3:11 He hath made everything beautiful in his time; also He hath set the world (AGE, TIME) in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end.
REFERRING TO THE PAST AND THE FUTURE AGES, RESULTING IN MAN'S INCAPACITY FOR FINDING OUT, OR COMPREHENDING THE WHOLE OF WHAT GOD DOES. THIS HAS RESULTED FROM THE FALL IN THE FIRST EARTH AGE.
3:12 I know that there is no good in them, but for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life.
NOTHING IS BETTER THAN FOR A MAN TO REJOICE AND TO DO GOOD IN HIS TIME.
GOD WANTS HIS CHILDREN TO BE HAPPY.
3:13 And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy the good of his labor, it is the gift of God.
NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR YOUR BLESSINGS IF YOU WORK HARD.
BLESSINGS ARE A GIFT FROM GOD.
3:14 I know that, whatsoever God doeth, it shall be forever: nothing can be put to it, nor anything taken from it: and God doeth it, that men should fear before Him.
3:15 That which hath been is now; and that which is to be hath already been; and God requireth that which is past.
GOD IS CONSISTENT FOR SIGNS AND SEASONS.
THROUGH HISTORY YOU FIND THE PUZZLE THAT FITS IN NICELY.
3:16 And moreover I saw under the sun (THE FLESH) the place of judgment (COURT HOUSE), that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness , that iniquity was there.
THE COURT HOUSE IS FULL OF WICHEDNESS SO THERE IS NO FAIR TRIAL.
MEN JUDGES BY PRESIDENT, GOD JUDGES BY HIS LAWS.
3:17 I said in mine heart, 'God shall judge the righteous and the wicked: for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.'
GOD IS FAIR AND JUST. HE IS THE ONLY ONE WHO CAN JUDGE FAIRLY.
3:18 I said in mine heart, concerning the estate of the sons of men, that God might manifest (TEST) them, and that they might see that they themselves are beasts.
IN OTHER WORDS, BOTH MEN AND BEASTS BREATH THE SAME AIR.
3:19 For that which befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; so that a man hath no preeminence above a beast: for all is vanity.
WE ALL BREATH THE SAME AIR.
3:20 All go unto one place: all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
FLESH DOES NOT LIVE FOREVER ; THE SPIRIT GOES BACK TO THE FATHER WHO GAVE IT (12:7), AND THE FLESH GOES BACK TO THE DUST.
3:21 Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth ?
3:22 Wherefore I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him to see what shall be after him?
HISTORY ALWAYS LET YOU KNOW.
GOD BLESS
