A wonderful compliation when they were all together and had a temple unto Jehovah and they were beset with atheists and pagan superstitouis gnostics all about them having to deal with ungodly authoritarians while tryimg to be faithful to the Lord their God and not strange
Christians are necessarily obligated to obey God's Law as it is portrayed in the Scripture. Unfortunately, too many professing Christians do not know what the Scripture teaches and do not really care.They want the benefits of Christianity, but they do not want to comply withits laws
Many have attended classes to learn how to teach, many learned from each other. Religion can be confusing, and the world is big, and there are so many sources but the bible is my only source of learning interweaved with prayer. When one represents God it should be acceptable to God. This is a scripture that every teacher should acknowledge. Our job is to take care of the sheep, everyone should apply God’s word to their life, to apply means to take action, seek out. To truly teach is to find the best we will find that a wise person lives with eternity values. The scriptures give us eternity values, a sermon should never be rushed, it should always be much thought and care taken. This is God we are speaking for, we should show the world how awesome the creator truly is.
In verse 6 Solomon is using four different metaphors (parables) to say ''death of the flesh''. We might say ''kick the bucket'' or ''bought the farm''. Verse 7 then explains as simply as can be stated what happens next. There is nothing new under the sun.
ECC.12:6 if i may ; i see this as things that man has made such as silver cord or a golden bowl or broken pitcher or a broken wheel as for the cistern. It reflects on the living waters of life then as unto Christ becoming the the true source of life. The whole duty of man is to fear God and keep His commandments. In psalms 40:7 speaks about the volume as to which you shall be judged out of. I hope this shine a light so that others may express their thoughts as well.
I understand what Solomon mean't when he said this. No matter how far we go in life there never seem to be an end. We are never satisfied. The more knowledge we get on this earth, the more miserable we are. Solomon really knew what he was tlaking about.
Youth is the time to serve God with all your vigor and when you can see, hear, are not afraid of the dark and confrontation or high places. We must remember that we are to be witnesses of what Jesus (God) has done for us and that our bodies are the temples of the Holy Ghost .
Extensive theory about life in general, from a master intellectual. Needs to be read, studied, and understood by all of humanity, and put in to practice.
Knowledge of these principles will point humanity toward the uphill road.
I really enjoy Ecclesiastes because it speaks of spirtual happenings in a way a gift type way of the writer. It is one of the only books that speaks of death in a specific manner. "silver cord and bowl".
It was known to the writer of Ecclesiastes how this world had ended in the first timeline. In Ecclesiastes Chapter 12, it illustrates the time of trouble when the sun, moon, and stars will be veiled by the violent ejection of dust and thick smoke from a huge caldera (see Ecclesiastes 12:2 and Revelation 6:12; 9:2). A great star (comet of Revelation 8:10; 9:1) is likened to an eagle (see Ecclesiastes 12:4; Isaiah 46:11). When the ravenous bird (comet) enters Earth’s atmosphere, it causes a great sound of thunder. Its voice cries out like a thundering trumpet (see Ecclesiastes 12:4; Isaiah 27:13; Zechariah 9:14; Revelation
11:15). The voice heralds the time of the latter-day literal and figurative resurrection for the latter-day righteous who believed this new doctrine (see Ecclesiastes 12:4; Daniel 12:1; Hosea 6:2; Revelation 11:11-13).
Isaiah was also told how our world will end. In Isaiah 13:6, it states that the day of the Lord (who personifies a comet) is at hand. At that time, the light of the sun, moon, and stars will be veiled when dust and smoke explode from a huge volcano’s crater (see Isaiah 13:10). These prophecies were written over two thousand years ago. God’s written word is able to declare what is going to take place in the last generation because God (personifying each scroll that records and plays over each generation) has seen the end already take place in the first timeline (see Isaiah 46:10). The same catastrophic event of a great star’s (personified as the return of God) impact – which causes an immense volcano to explode and release dust, smoke, hot ash, and then lava – is written in the writings of the prophets. However, the written prophecies in the Old Testament, which are to be fulfilled in our day, are written as if they could have happened during events that took place in each prophet’s generation.
With this in mind when reading the Old Testament prophecies, take into consideration that the past types are mixed-in with future, yet to be fulfilled, prophecies (see Job 14:12, 13; Psalm 18:7-9; Ecclesiastes 12:2-5; Isaiah 24:17-23; Jeremiah 4:23-28; Ezekiel 32:7, 8; Joel 2:1, 30-32; Amos 5:16-18; Micah 3:6; Nahum 1:3-6; Habakkuk 3:3-16; Zephaniah 1:14-18; Haggai 2:6; Zechariah 14:3, 4, 12; Malachi 4:1; Revelation 19:11, 20).
Ecclesiastes 12:13," Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: fear God and keep hIS commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man." Exodus 16:28 And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS and my laws? Exodus 20:6 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me, and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. Leviticus 22:31 Therefore shall ye KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, and do them: I [am] the LORD. Leviticus 26:3 If ye walk in my statutes, and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS, and do them; Deuteronomy 5:10 And shewing mercy unto thousands of them that love me and KEEP MY COMMANDMENTS. also ( 1 Kings 9:6; 2 Kings 17:13; Nehemiah 1:9; Proverbs 3:1; Proverbs 4:4; Proverbs 7:2; John 14:15; John 15:10) Matthew 7:21," Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord,shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
We don’t need many books to learn about God, the bible is all we need. If we keep God’s commandments we will have understanding that the wisdom of man and his doctrines can not provide
The 6th verse has me baffled. Anyone have any thoughts
