ENJOY THE DAYS OF YOUR YOUTH BECAUSE THIS LIFE IS SHORT AND YOUR YOUTH WILL BE OVER BEFORE YOU KNOW IT.
Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, 'I have no pleasure in them;'
ENJOY YOUR YOUTH AND ACCOMPLISH SOMETHING. WHEN YOU GROW OLD IS HARDER TO ENJOY YOURSELF.
12:2 While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
12:3 In the day when the keepers of the house (THE ARMS OF THE BODY. THE HUMAN BODY IS OFTEN COMPARED TO A HOUSE, ISAIAH 38:12, JOB 4:19, II COR. 5:1-2, II PETER 1:13) shall tremble, (MOVE) and the strong men ( THE LEGS) shall bow themselves, and the grinders (THE TEETH) cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened (VISION IS LESS),
12:4 And the doors (MOUTH AND EARS) shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low (THE MASTICATION WITH GUMS INSTEAD OF TEETH IS LOW), and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird (INSOMNIA), and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;
12:5 Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high (AFRAID OF HEIGHTS), and fears shall be in the way (APPREHENSIONS OF DANGER IN TRAVELLING), and the almond tree shall flourish (GREY HAIR), and the grasshopper shall be a burden (LIFTING WILL BECOME HARD), and desire shall fail (SEXUAL DESIRE): (because man goeth to his long home (HEAVEN), and the mourners go about the streets:)
12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed (THE SPINAL CORD), or the golden bowl be broken (THE HEAD OR SKULL), or the pitcher be broken at the fountain (FAILURE OF THE HEART), or the wheel broken at the cistern (ON WHICH THE BUCKET IS BROUGHT UP BY A ROPE FROM THE WELL).
12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God Who gave it.
THIS IS HOW WE DIE: THE FLESH GOES BACK TO THE GROUND, BUT THE SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD. WE ARE CHANGED INTO OUR SPIRITUAL BODY (I COR. 15:35-52).
12:8 "Vanity of vanities," saith the preacher (SOLOMON); "all is vanity."
12:9 And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the People knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
GOD'S ELECT UNDERSTAND AND SIMPLIFY THE WORD.
12:10 The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
HE SOUGHT SUITABLE WORDS TO EXPLAIN.
12:11 The words of the wise are as goads (A NAIL AT THE END OF A STICK), and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
THESE NAILS WERE BUILT INTO A WALL, BECAUSE EASTERN WALLS WERE TOO HARD OR TOO SOFT FOR THEM TO BE HAMMERED IN.
HE IS SAYING HERE THAT IF YOU DON'T CARE HE MIGHT USE THAT GOAD TO MAKE YOU LISTEN.
12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
REST A MOMENT AND TAKE A BREAK WHEN YOU PREACH.
12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear (REVERENCE) God, and keep His commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
THE TRUE AND ONLY GOD, WHO THROUGHOUT THIS BOOK IS PUT IN CONTRAST WITH MAN.
12:14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
GOD BLESS
