The
words of the Teacher, the son of David
the
king of Jerusalem:
2
'Meaningless! Meaningless!' says the Teacher.
'Utterly
meaningless!
Everything
is meaningless.'
3
What does man gain from all his labor
At
which he toils under the sun?
4
Generations come and generations go,
But
the Earth remains forever.
5
The sun rises and the sun sets,
And
hurries back to where it rises.
6
The wind blows to the south and turns to the north;
Round
and round it goes,
Ever
returning on its course.
7
All streams flow into the sea,
Yet
the sea is never full.
To
the place the streams come fro,
There
they return again.
8
All things are Wearisome,
More
than one can say.
The
eye never has enough of seeing,
Or
the ear of its fill of hearing.
9
WHAT HAS BEEN WILL BE AGAIN,
WHAT
HAS BEEN DONE WILL BE DONE AGAIN;
THERE
IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN.
10
Is there anything of which one can say,
'Look!
This is something new'?
It
was here already, long ago;
It
was here before our time.
11
There is no remembrance of men of old,
Even
those who are yet to come
Will
not be remembered by those who follow.
Wisdom
is Meaningless
12
I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.
13
I devoted myself to study and to explore by wisdom
All
that is done under Heaven.
What
a heavy burden God has laid on men!
14
I have seen all the things that are done under the sun;
All
of them are Meaningless,
A
chasing after the wind.
15
What is twisted cannot be straightened;
What
is lacking cannot be counted.
16
I thought to my self,
'Look,
I have grown and increased in wisdom
More
than anyone who has ruled over Jerusalem before me;
I
have experienced much of wisdom and knowledge.'
17
Then I applied myself to the understanding of wisdom,
And
also of madness and folly,
But
I learned that this, too, is chasing after the wind.
18
FOR WITH MUCH WISDOM COMES MUCH SORROW;
THE
MORE KNOWLEDGE, THE MORE GRIEF.
(Ecclesiastes
1)
In
our, so called, Modern World
We
believe that there are new things,
And
while it is true that Technology has advanced,
It
is also true
That
the heart of Unregenerated man has not change at all.
The
heart of Unregenerated man remains as Dark as ever.
We
are living in the Last of the Last Day of TIME,
Soon,
the Whole World will receive the son of Satan,
The
Beast of Revelation, the Antichrist as their “god,”
An
all the, so called, Accomplishments of man,
Will
be brought to Ruin. (Revelation 13)
WHY?
Because
they Refused to love the Truth (2 Thessalonians 1-12)
You
see, the Truth is all that Matters.
God
gave each of us this life
To
see if we would Embrace the Truth.
Those
who Embrace the Truth are granted Eternal Life,
Those
who Refuse to Embrace the Truth
Go
with Satan to the Lake of Fire. (Revelation 20:14)
