Discuss Ecclesiastes 12 Page 6

I want to kW jesus

Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 Amen.

it is true, we as God's creation have no respect for our creator. We have yet to realize that we were created to serve God. He loved us so that he gave us free will to serve him. Wouldn't it be wonderful if we think of him as he thinks of us? I ask my Father in heaven to give me the strength to be Christ like and to show my love for him.

Excellent!!!

It is very nice chaptee

If you want to have true knowledge,fear GOD.

Fear God and keep his commandment for this is the whole duty of man.So encouraging it teaches us what pleases God is when we fear Him n keep His commandnent.

Ecclesiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

Great teaching

King Solomon doesn 't beat around the bush. In his wisdom, he tells you exactly what life is: Everything passes away both good and bad and hence everything is vanity meaningless to hold onto. Solomon talks about the meaninglessness of being attached to anything in life or putting your hope on a person or thing. He is realistic, the most realistic piece of work I come across in the Bible, next to the book of Job. He reaches to the conclusion that we are not in charge of our destinies. God has a time for everything. He has determined everything chaper3 , a time under the sun for everything. But still having the freedom to choose, we are expected to live life righteously despite God 's absolute control of all things. After chapter 3 solomon mention things in life that are good and bad to avoid. Speaks about how to enjoy life fully single or with a good woman, but to live and enjoy life with wisdom. And lastly that he has learnt that God will bring everyone into judgement for what they do. So his last words, is to fear meaning reverence God and keep his commandments. What are his commandements? Looking at Solomon 's moral code found in the book one can easily surmise it has to do with love, charity, and human dignity for others. In sum live to the fullest, do good, and knowing their is such thing like a karma for what you do. My two cent :

Thank God for the book of Ecclesiastes and Solomon, its Author. I consider this book of the Bible one of the most important of all books because it tells us in words, short, simple and meaningful, what God expects of us and that all others things we do are emptyness. "Fear God and keep His commandments " simplifies our duties to Him more than the other 65 books of the Bible combined. If we fear God and obey Him we will keep the ten commandments, all the statutes in Leviticus and other books of the Bible if we fear and obey Him, we will love our neighbours as ourselves, etc. ' The importance of Ecclesiastes 12:13 among all scriptures of the Bible can never be overemphasized.

It reveals the power of God.

The fact that we didn 't create ourselves tells us there is a creator who created all the things that man cannot create and that is God.life is a phase.no one came with anything and no one will go with anything.if we understand this then there will be no need for envy.also if we understand that we have a creator who has laid out rules which aren 't even evil to begin with then we will be free as we will be walking in truth.and His commands are summed up in one word "Love " cos love will never hurt.and we ought to love God by keeping his commands John 14:15 and giving him worship of which loving Our neighbor is also one of his command.and where will the wars come from if we live in love? I learnt something from all the comments above.

This chapter speaks of the times before the end of days yet the end of days war is referenced to happen in the future starting in verse 3. Verse 4, people hide in their homes afraid to go out into the streets for fear of being shot or missiles from the air. Verse 5, I think grasshoppers are symbolic of fighter jets or helicopters. Verse 6, Man going to his long home may be navy men entering a submarine and represents sea battle, the silver cord could be referencing the cord that is attached to a missile fired from an attack submarine in modern day warfare.

This is actually an allegory for death, and all the things that happen to the body as it ages. The Masons use verses 1 7 at Masonic funeral services. According to the Masons, the silver cord is a reference to the brain stem, the golden bowl is the skull, and the wheel and pitcher are the major arteries and veins surrounding the heart. Damage to any of these causes death. The keepers of the house that tremble refers to someone 's limbs shaking due to Parkinson 's or general weakness, the grinders ceasing because they are few refers to teeth falling out, the strong men who bow themselves refers to how the elderly have crooked spines, those that look out of the windows being darkened refers to blindness, and all the daughters of music being brought low refers to deafness. It 's amazing how even in biblical times, before anyone knew the anatomy of the body, that these words could be put into text in order to refer to these then unknown body organs. This is a beautiful allegory about death, and it impresses on the mind the fleetingness of life, and teaches us to love and fear God, as well as to enjoy our youthful days while they are here. God bless.

I wish we could follow all the commitment of God to make him happy

Jehovah God is the grand judge. The justice systems on the earth are a joke! They pervert justice. However, in his due time every act will come to judgement before God. He can judge the visible acts. But he can also do what may fails to do, and that is judge the secret things. The atrocities that happen behind closed doors. Also, the evil thoughts and intentions that the human eye can not see. He will also judge the righteous acts too. We never have to feel our righteous course goes unnoticed.

Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. This verse is directly relating to how Jesus, between the time of His crucifixion and resurrection descended into the lower parts of the earth, Ephesians 4 9 where the faithful from Adam up to Jesus 's crucifixion were being held captive by the evil powers and proceeded with is mentioned in Ecclesiastes 12 6. And, from there, spirits of the deceased were no longer taken captive by the evil powers but returned to God as mentioned in the next verse.

I think it is a message to reunite with our real being and not be in duality two places at the same time . Body and heart one place and thinking mind in another.

I believe it pretty much mean, there so much to read it will tire you out trying to read it all. So, just fear God, believe in him, and keep his commandments and we pretty much got it made..

Man must make it a duty to worship the Almighty for this is Man 's way of saying thank you God for creating me.
