IT IS WRITTEN BY SOLOMON AND TEACHES YOU HOW TO HAVE A PEACE OF MIND IN THE FLESH.
Ecclesiastes 4:1 So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of the oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.
THE COMFORTER IS THE HOLY SPIRIT AND IT CAME LATER, ON PENTECOST DAY.
4:2 Wherefore I praised the dead which are already dead more than the living which are yet alive.
THE DEAD HAVE A REASON TO BE HAPPY; THEY ARE WITH THE FATHER.
4:3 Yea, better is he than both they, which have not yet been (THEY ARE NOT BORN YET), who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.
4:4 Again, I considered (I THOUGHT DEEP) all travail, and every right work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This is also vanity and vexation of spirit.
BE THANKFUL OF WHAT YOU HAVE AND DO NOT ENVY YOUR NEIGHBOR.
4:5 The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.
A FOOL DOES NOT ACCOMPLISH ANYTHING. HE IS LAZY AND GOD DOES NOT CARE FOR LAZY PEOPLE.
4:6 Better is an handful with quietness, than both the hands full with travail and vexation of spirit.
IT'S BETTER TO HAVE A HANDFUL OF SOMETHING ACCOMPLISHED, THAN BOTH HANDS FULL OF TROUBLE CHASING THE WIND.
4:7 Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun.
4:8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; yea, he hath neither child nor brother: yet is there no end of all his labor; neither is his eye satisfied with riches; neither saith he, 'For who do I labor, and bereave my soul of good ?' This is also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.
HE IS ADDRESSING WORKAHOLICS. WORK IS ALL THEY CARE ABOUT.
4:9 Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor.
HE IS TALKING ABOUT FELLOWSHIP. FELLOWSHIP BETWEEN TWO OR MORE PEOPLE IS GREAT BECAUSE YOU CAN ENCOURAGE EACH OTHER.
4:10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow (ONE WILL ENCOURAGE THE OTHER): but woe unto him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up (IT'S NOT GOOD TO BE ALONE).
4:11 Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone?
IT WAS IMPORTANT IN THE PAST BECAUSE THEY DIDN'T HAVE HEATING LIKE WE DO TODAY.
4:12 And if one prevail against him (OVERPOWERS ONE), two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
THEY WATCH EACH OTHER'S BACK.
4:13 Better is a poor and a wise child than an old and foolish king, who will no more be admonished.
IT IS A BETTER SOMEONE WHO IS STRAITENED IN MEANS, THAN A FOOLISH KING WHO WON'T TAKE ANY ADVICE.
4:14 For out of prison he cometh to reign; whereas also he that is born in his kingdom becometh poor.
WISDOM IS A VALUABLE THING AND IT COMES FROM GOD. WITHOUT WISDOM YOU HAVE NOTHING.
4:15 I considered all the living which walk under the sun, with the second child that shall stand up in his stead.
4:16 There is no end of all the people, even of all that have been before them: they also that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.
WITHOUT GOD YOU ARE CHASING THE WIND. ONLY WITH GOD YOU WILL HAVE HAPPINESS IN THIS FLESH BODY.
GOD BLESS
