ECCLESIASTES (CHAPTER FIVE)

                    IN THIS CHAPTER SOLOMON ADDRESSES THE WORKS OF MAN.

ECCLESIASTES WAS WRITTEN BY SOLOMON AND IT TEACHES YOU HOW TO BE HAPPY IN THIS FLESH LIFE.

Ecclesiastes 5:1  Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil.

MAKE SURE YOU GO TO THE RIGHT HOUSE OF GOD.

SOME PEOPLE GO TO CHURCH FOR THE WRONG REASONS.

THEY DON'T CARE WHAT IS TAUGHT THERE. THEY GO FOR REPUTATION.

IN OTHER WORDS, THEY ARE PUTTING ON A SHOW.

5:2  Be not rash (DEMAND) with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter anything before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few (WATCH YOUR MOUTH).

5:3  For a dream cometh through the multitude of business; and a fool's voice is known by multitude of words.

MAKE SURE YOU ARE A GOOD PLANNER; A FOOL TALKS A LOT BUT SAYS NOTHING.

5:4  When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for He hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou hast vowed.

DON'T MAKE A VOW UNTO GOD AND DON'T PAY IT. IT'S BETTER IF YOU DON'T DO IT AT ALL.

5:5  Better is it that thou shouldest not vow, than that thou shouldest vow and not pay (TO THE FATHER).

5:6  Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that it was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thine hands?

DON'T MAKE PROMISES TO GOD AND THEN SAY TO HIS ANGEL I DIDN'T MEAN IT.

5:7  For in the multitude of dreams and many words there are also divers vanities (FOOLISHNESS): but fear (REVERE) God.

IN MANY DREAMS AND MANY WORDS, ALSO THERE IS GREAT FOOLISHNESS: REFERRING TO VERSE 3 ABOVE.

5:8  If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and violent perverting of judgment and justice in a province, marvel not at the matter: for He That is higher than the highest regardeth; and there be higher than they.

JUDICIALLY SPEAKING, A COURT THAT IS MESSING UP WILL HAVE TO ANSWER TO GOD. HE IS WATCHING.

5:9  Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

I OWN IT ALL, SAYS SOLOMON. I'M BLESSED TO HAVE A HELPER TO HELP ME IN THE FIELD. WE ALL NEED TO HELP EACH OTHER.

5:10  He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance with increase: this is also vanity.

THE GOODS OF THE LAND IS BETTER THAN SILVER. WHY? BECAUSE YOU CAN EAT THE GOODS, BUT SILVER YOU CAN ONLY LOOK AT IT.

5:11  When goods increase, they are increased that eat them: and what good is thereto the owners thereof, saving the beholding of them with their eyes?

5:12  The sleep of laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much: but the abundance of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

ONE WHO WORKS HARD FOR HIS MONEY SLEEPS WELL AT NIGHT. BUT THE ONE WHO HAS GOTTEN RICH BY EVIL GAINS DOES NOT.

5:13  There is a sore evil which I have seen under the sun (FLESH), namely, riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt.

IN OTHER WORDS, A RICH MAN (WHO DOES NOT HAVE GOD IN THEIR HEART) WHO CAN NEVER HAVE ENOUGH RICHES, HE WILL WORRY ALL THE TIME OF HOW TO MAKE MORE, OR NOT TO LOSE WHAT HE HAS.

5:14  But those riches perish by evil travail (HE MADE A WRONG MOVEMENT): and he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his hand (HE GOT RIPPED OFF).

5:15  As he came forth of his mother's womb, naked shall he return to go as he came, and shall take nothing of his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

THE ONLY THING YOU CAN TAKE WITH YOU IS THE WORK YOU'VE DONE FOR GOD (REV. 14:13).

5:16  And this also is a sore evil that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that hath labored for the wind (CHASING THE WIND)?

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IS LOVING GOD. ONLY THROUGH HIM YOU CAN GET WISDOM AND BLESSINGS.

5:17  All his days also he eateth in darkness (SATAN IS THE PRINCE OF DARKNESS), and he hath much sorrow and wrath with his sickness.

IF YOU FOLLOW THE DARK SIDE YOU WILL HAVE SORROWS AND SICKNESS OF MIND.

5:18  Behold that which I have seen: it is good and comely for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor that he taketh under the sun all the days in his life, which God giveth him: for it is his portion.

ENJOY THE BLESSINGS GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.

ENJOY YOUR LIFE.

5:19  Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof (TO ENJOY IT), and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor; this is the gift of God.

NEVER APOLOGIZE FOR THE GIFTS GOD HAS GIVEN YOU.

5:20  For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

FOLLOWING HIM BRINGS JOY.

GOD BLESS

ECCLESIASTES (CHAPTER FOUR)

ECCLESIASTES IS WRITTEN TO THE MAN UNDER THE SUN (THE FLESH MAN).

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

ECCLESIASTES (CHAPTER THREE)


 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

THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES (CHAPTER TWO)

 

                              HOW TO HAVE A PEACE OF MIND IN OUR FLESH BODY.
SOLOMON HAD ALL THE RICHES IN THE WORLD, PLUS WISDOM AND KNOWLEDGE, BUT HE WAS MISSING SOMETHING...

Ecclesiastes 2:1  I said in mine heart (SOLOMON SPEAKING), 'Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure:' and, behold, this also is vanity.

2:2  I said of laughter, 'It is mad:' and of mirth, 'What does it?'

HE IS ADDRESSING HIS OWN PLEASURE.

2:3  I sought in mine heart to give myself unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all their days of their life.

I LEARNT HOW TO ENLIST, BY WINE, MY VERY FLESH (IN THE WORK): THE WORK OF PROVING THE HEART WITH MIRTH---"YET RETAINING WISDOM".

2:4  I made me great works; I built me houses; I planted me vineyards:

I INCREASED OR MULTIPLIED MY POSSESSIONS.

2:5 I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruits:

I MADE MY OWN PARADISE.

2:6  I made me pools of water, to water therewith the wood (FOREST) that bringeth forth trees:

2:7  I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me:

2:8  I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces: I gat me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

2:9  So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: also my wisdom remained with me.

THE DIVINE WISDOM GIVEN BY GOD (I KINGS 3:5-15) HAD NOT BEEN TAKEN AWAY. THIS MUST BE REMEMBERED IN READING THIS BOOK. LIKE LUKE'S "UNDERSTANDING" IT CAME "FROM ABOVE".

2:10  And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor: and this was my portion of all my labor.

GOD BLESSED HIM WELL.

2:11  Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit (FEEDING ON WIND), and there was no profit under the sun.

MATERIAL THINGS WILL NOT MAKE YOU HAPPY.

2:12  And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been already done.

2:13  Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly (FOLLY=FOOLISHNESS), as far as light excelleth darkness.

FOOLISHNESS WILL GET YOU NOWHERE.

2:14  The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness: and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all (I TOO KNEW AS WELL AS THEY).

YOU WANT TO LOOK PAST THE FLESH BODY. YOUR SPIRITUAL SELF IS MORE IMPORTANT. 

2:15  Then said I in my heart, 'As it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me; and why was I then more wise?' Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity (EMPTINESS).

RICH, POOR, WISE, FOOL, ALL GOING TO DIE.  BUT LIFE BEGINS AT DEATH FOR THE BELIEVER.

2:16  For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool forever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. And now dieth the wise man? as the fool.

DON'T PLACE EVERYTHING IN THE FLESH BODY ; IT'S NOT GOING TO LAST LONG.

2:17  Therefore I hated life (I WAS NOT SATISFIED WITH LIFE); Because the work that is wrought under the sun is grievous unto me: for all is vanity (EMPTINESS) and vexation of spirit (CHASING THE WIND).

2:18  Yea, I hated all my labor which I had taken under the sun: because I should leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

IN OTHER WORDS, SOMEBODY ELSE WAS GOING TO ENJOY THE FRUIT OF MY LABOR AFTER I DIED.

2:19  And who knoweth whether he shall be a wise man or a fool? yet shall he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have shewed myself wise under the sun. This is also vanity.

AND WHO KNOWS IF THE NEXT PERSON THAT WILL TAKE OVER WILL BE WISE OR A FOOL? THIS IS ALSO EMPTINESS.

2:20  Therefore I went about to cause my heart to despair of all the labor which I took under the sun.

BE HAPPY FOR WHAT YOU ACCOMPLISH IN THIS LIFE, BUT LOOK TO GOD FOR YOUR GIFTS.

2:21  For there is a man whose labor is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and in equity (DO WHAT IS RIGHT);yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil (CALAMITY, BECAUSE WHEN YOU DIE IT GOES TO SOMEONE ELSE).

2:22  For what hath man of all his labor, and of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath labored under the sun ?

2:23  For all his days are sorrows, and his travail (LABOR) grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the night. This is also a vanity.

DON'T WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING. FIX THE PROBLEM; GOD WILL ALWAYS FIND YOU A WAY OUT IF YOU LISTEN.

2:24  There is nothing better for a man, than that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it was from the hand of God.

WHEN YOU TURN YOUR SOUL TO HIM YOU CAN ENJOY LIFE.

WITHOUT GOD LIFE IS EMPTY.

2:25  For who can eat, or who else can hasten hereunto (WHO CAN ENJOY) more than I ?

2:26  For God giveth to a man that is good in His sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner He giveth travail (TROUBLE), to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God. This also is vanity and vexation of spirit.

IF YOU LOVE GOD YOU WILLHAVE A PEACE OF MIND, BUT FOR A SINNER HE CAN WORK ALL HE WANTS BUT HIS WORK COMES TO NOUGHT.

NO PEACE OF MIND AND NO ETERNAL LIFE.

GOD BLESS

THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES (CHAPTER ONE)

 

THE NAME OF THIS BOOK COMES DIRECT FROM THE LATIN VULGATE THROUGH THE SEPTUAGINT VERSION.  THE HEBREW NAME IS KOHELETH=ASSEMBLER. 

IT IS WRITTEN BY SOLOMON AND IT TEACHES YOU HOW TO HAVE A PEACE OF MIND IN THE FLESH.

THIS BOOK FORMED PART OF THE HEBREW BIBLE LONG BEFORE THE TIME OF CHRIST, AND IS THEREFORE INCLUDED IN HIS WORD, "THE SCRIPTURES" (MATT. 22:29, II TIMOTHY 3:16).

SOLOMON'S WISDOM WAS GIVEN HIM BY GOD (I KINGS 3:5-12, 4:29:34), AND THIS "WISDOM" WAS THEREFORE "FROM ABOVE" (JAS. 3:17), AS LUKE WAS (LUKE 1:3).

Eccl. 1:1 The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king to Jerusalem.

THE PREACHER= THIS COMES FROM LUTHER'S VERSION; "KOHELETH" DOES NOT INCLUDE THE IDEA OF PREACHING.

1:2 "Vanity of vanities," saith the Preacher, "vanity of vanities; all is vanity.

1:3  What profit hath a man of all his labor which he taketh under the sun  (THE FLESH MAN)?

IT REFERS TO ALL THAT IS CONNECTED WITH EARTHLY THINGS AS SUCH, AND WITH MAN APART FROM GOD, BUT WHAT IS STATED IS INSPIRED TRUTH.

1:4 One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh: but the earth abideth forever (FOR AGES IN THE HEBREW).

THE WORLD IN RELATION TO TIME PAST AND FUTURE: AS WE USE IT WHEN WE SPEAK OF THE ANCIENT WORLD, THE OLD WORLD, THE MODERN WORLD, THE WORLD TO COME.

1:5 The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to this place where he arose.

1:6 The wind (RUACH IN THE HEBREW) goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it whirleth about continually, and the wind returneth again according to his circuits (SEASONS).

THE FIRST PART OF VERSE 6 CONTINUES THE MOTION OF THE SUN, GOING TO THE SOUTH (IN WINTER) AND TURNING ABOUT TO THE NORTH (IN SUMMER).

THE WIND ACCORDING TO HIS SEASONS IS THE SUBJECT OF VERSE 6.

1:7 All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is not full; unto the place from whence the rivers come, thither they return again.

THE RIVERS ARE NOT GOING TO OVERFLOW.

1:8 All things are full of labor (WEARINESS); man (FLESH MAN) cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

1:9  The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

1:10  Is there anything whereof it may be said, 'See this is new?' it hath been already of old time, which was before us.

THIS EARTH IS MILLIONS OF YEARS OLD. IT HAS BEEN HERE BEFORE MAN WAS CREATED IN THE FLESH.

MAKE A NOTE OF II PETER 3:5-7.

1:11  There is no remembrance of former things (MEN IN THE FLESH); neither shall there be any remembrance of things that are to come with those that shall come after.

IN OTHER WORDS, WHEN THE FLESH DIES IT GOES BACK TO THE GROUND. THERE IS NO REMEBRANCE OF IT. THE SPIRIT GOES BACK TO THE FATHER WHO GAVE IT (ECCL. 12:7).

1:12  I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

SOLOMON KNEW THAT THE KINGDOM WAS TO BE RENT (I KINGS 11:11-12) AND THE PEOPLE SCATTERED; THEREFORE HE SOUGHT TO KILL JEROBOAM (I KINGS 11:39-40).

1:13  And I gave my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all things that are done under heaven (THE ARAMAIC, AND SYRIAN TEXTS SAY, "UNDER THE SUN".): this sore travail hath God given to the sons of man to be exercised therewith.

GOD= ELOHIM IN THE HEBREW. THE TITLE "YAHAVEH" IS NOT USED IN ECCLESIASTES, AS THIS BOOK REFERS TO MAN IN RELATION TO HIS CREATOR ONLY;NOT TO MAN IN COVENANT WITH HIM AS "YAHAVEH".

1:14  I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and vexation of spirit (CHASING AFTER THE WIND).

1:15  That which is crooked cannot be made straight: and that which is wanting cannot be numbered.

1:16  I communed with mine own heart, saying, 'Lo, I am come to great estate, and have gotten more wisdom than all they that have been before me in Jerusalem:' yea, my heart had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

SOLOMON HAD GREAT WISDOM GIVEN BY GOD.

1:17  And I gave my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness (THE OPPOSITE OF WISDOM, AS DISPLAYED IN THE LOSS OF SELF-CONTROL; RAVING WITH SELF-CONCEIT) and folly (INFATUATION): I perceived that this also is vexation of spirit.

I FAILED TO FIND PEACE OF MIND IN WISDOM.

1:18  For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

WHEN YOU KNOW RIGHT FROM WRONG YOU ARE NO LONGER INNOCENT ; YOU ARE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR YOUR ACTIONS. 

GOD BLESS

BECAUSE YOU SINNED MORE THAN THE NATIONS

 

GOD IS NOT PLEASED WITH PEOPLE FOLLOWING MEN'S DOCTRINES AND TRADITIONS INSTEAD OF HIM.

IDOLATRY IS WORSE IN OUR TIME THAN THE BIBLICAL TIMES.

Ezekiel 5:5 Thus saith the Lord GOD; "This is Jerusalem: I have set it in the midst of the nations (GENTILES) and countries that are round about her.

IT'S ALL FUTURE.

GOD IS SAYING, 'I HAVE SET A SIGN'.

5:6  And she hath changed (REBELLED AGAINST) My judgments into wickedness more than the nations, and My statutes more than the countries that are round about her: for they have refused My judgments and My statutes, they have not walked in them."

5:7  Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; "Because ye multiplied more than the nations (YOU WERE MORE SINFUL THAN THE OTHER NATIONS) that are round about you, and have not walked in My statutes, neither have kept My judgments, neither have done according to the judgments of the nations that are round about you;

5:8  Therefore" thus saith the Lord GOD; "Behold, I, even I, am against thee, and will execute judgments in the midst of thee in the sight of the nations.

EVERYONE WILL WITNESS MY CHASTISEMENT TOWARD YOU.

5:9  And I will do in thee that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do anymore the like, because of all thine abominations.

5:10  Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of thee, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments in thee, and the whole remnant of thee will I scatter into all the winds.

THEY CONSUME THEIR HERITAGE BECAUSE OF STUPOR, IF THE FATHER FORGETS TO TELL THE SON...THEY FORGOT WHERE THEY CAME FROM EVEN TO THIS DAY.

ISRAEL (NOT THE COUNTRY OF TODAY'S ISRAEL) CALL THEMSELVES GENTILES.

THEY DON'T KNOW WHO THEY ARE.

5:11  Wherefore, as I live, saith the Lord GOD; Surely, because thou hast defiled My sanctuary with all thy destestable things, and with all thine abominations, therefore will I also diminish thee; neither shall Mine eye spare, neither will I have any pity.

YOU TEACH MEN'S DOCTRINES AND TRADITIONS INSTEAD OF MY WORD AS IT IS WRITTEN, IN MY SANCTUARY.

THEREFORE, YOU WILL BE CHASTISED BY ME.

5:12  A third part of thee shall die with the pestilence, and with famine (THE FAMINE OF THE END TIMES IS HEARING THE WORD OF GOD AS IT IS WRITTEN; AMOS 8:11-13) shall they be consumed in the midst of thee: and a third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and I will scatter a third part into all the winds, and I will draw out a sword after them.

REFERRING TO THE SEALS, VIALS, TRUMPS OF THE END TIMES.

MAKE A NOTE OF DANIEL 7, REV. 7.

5:13  Thus shall Mine anger be accomplished, and I will cause My fury to rest upon them, and I will be comforted: and they shall know that I the LORD have spoken it in My zeal (JEALOUSY), when I have accomplished My fury in them.

5:14  Moreover I will make thee waste, and a reproach among the nations that are round about thee, in the sight of all that pass by.

WATCH JERUSALEM...SHE IS THE CENTER OF PROPHECY.

5:15  So it shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I shall execute judgments in thee in anger and in fury and in furious rebukes. I the LORD have spoken it.

THIS IS UPON CHRIST'S RETURN. HE WILL SET HIS KINGDOM IN JERUSALEM.

5:16  When I shall send upon them the evil arrows of famine, which shall be for their destruction, and which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break your staff of bread:

THIS IS AN ANALOGY HE IS USING. THE FAMINE OF THE END TIMES IS HEARING THE WORD OF GOD (AMOS 8:11-13).

VERY FEW CHURCHES TODAY TEACH HIS WORD CHAPTER BY CHAPTER, VERSE BY VERSE.

5:17  So will I send upon you famine and evil beasts, and they shall bereave thee; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and I will bring the sword upon thee. I the LORD have spoken it.

THERE ARE TWO SWORDS...ONE IS CHRIST'S, AND ONE IS SATAN'S.

SATAN'S SWORD IS THE SWORD OF LIES HE IS GOING TO POUR UPON THE WORLD AND THE CHURCH (EXCEPT THE ELECT).

CHRIST'S SWORD IS THE 2EDGED SWORD WHICH IS HIS WORD.

THE BEASTS OF THE END TIME IS SATAN'S POLITICAL AND RELIGIOUS SYSTEM.

GOD BLESS

YAHAVEH'S RIGHTEOUS KING

 

THE KING REIGNING IN RIGHTEOUSNESS AND THE EVENTS PRIOR TO HIS COMING KINGDOM.

Isaiah 32:1 behold, a king (JESUS) shall reign in righteousness, and princes (GOD'S ELECT) shall rule in judgment.

32:2  And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert (A PLACE TO HIDE) from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.

THE KING AND THE PRINCES WILL BE THE HIDING PLACE TO KEEP THE BLISTERING WIND AWAY FROM YOU.

32:3  And the eyes of them that see shall not be dim, and the ears of them that hear shall hearken.

EVERYONE'S EYES WILL BE OPENED TO SEE THE TRUTH IN THE MILLENNIUM (CHRIST'S THOUDAND YEAR REIGN).

32:4  The heart also of the rash (HASTY) shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.

THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANYONE WHO SAYS 'I DON'T UNDERSTAND GOD'S WORD'.

32:5  The vile person (THE FOOL) shall be no more called liberal (NOBLE IN THE HEBREW), nor the churl (COVETOUS) said to be bountiful.

32:6  For the vile person will speak villany, and his heart will work iniquity, to practice hypocrisy, and to utter error (LIES) against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and he will cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.

THE FOOL WILL SPREAD LIES AGAINST THE LORD AND HIS WORD TO THE BIBLICAL ILLITERATE PERSON AND THEREFORE, HE WILL CAUSE HIM TO FALL SPIRITUALLY.

32:7  The instruments (TOOLS) also of the churl (COVETOUS) are evil: he deviseth (COUNSELS) wicked devices to destroy the poor (THE ONES WHO LACK KNOWLEDGE FROM THE WORD OF GOD) with lying words, even when the needy (HELPLESS, WEAK IN WILL AND WEALTH) speaketh right.

32:8  But the liberal (NOBLE) deviseth liberal things (BEING HONEST WITH GOD); and by liberal things shall he stand.

32:9  Rise up, ye women that are at ease; hear my voice, ye careless daughters (SELF-CONFIDENCE IN IRONY); give ear unto my speech.

WOMEN= "WOMEN" BEING PUT FOR THE WHOLE NATION, NOW REDUCED BY SIN TO UTTER WEAKNESS.

32:10  Many days and years shall ye be troubled, ye careless women (NO GENDER): for the vintage shall fail, the gathering shall not come.

IF YOU ARE CARELESS GOD WON'T BLESS YOU.

32:11  Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye careless ones: strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins.

WOMEN IS SYMBOLIC OF ISRAEL THAT DOES NOT BELIEVE OF FOLLOW CHRIST.

32:12  They shall lament for the teats, for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful vine.

THEY HIRED PEOPLE BACK THEN TO BEAT THEIR BREAST FOR A SHOW.

32:13  Upon the land of My people shall come up thorns and briers (TO MAKE A HOT FIRE. IT'S A PROVERB); yea, upon all the houses of joy in the joyous city:

32:14  Because the palaces shall be forsaken (NEGLECTED); the multitude of the city shall be left; the forts and towers shall be for dens forever (PUT FOR A PROLONGED PERIOD, NOT FOREVER. IT WILL BE FOR THE PERIOD THEY ARE NEGLECTED), a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;

32:15  Until the spirit (THE HOLY SPIRIT) be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness be a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.

HE WILL MAKE IT BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT CAME DOWN FROM HEAVEN (IN THE HEBREW).

32:16  Then judgment shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field.

BECAUSE GOD IS IN CONTROL.

32:17  And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and assurance forever.

CHRIST IS THE KING OF PEACE.

THERE IS NOT GOING TO BE ANY PEACE UPON THE WORLD UNTIL CHRIST RETURNS.

32:18  And My People shall dwell in a peaceable habitation, and in sure dwellings, and in quiet resting places;

FUTURE.

32:19  When it shall hail, coming down on the forest; and the city (THE CITY OF THE ASSYRIAN OR THE FALSE CHRIST) shall be low in a low place.

32:20  Blessed are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth thither the feet of the ox and the ass.

BLESSED IS THE ONE THAT KNOW HOW TO PLAN SEEDS.

GOD BLESS
