ECCLESIASTES 1 - THERE IS NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN

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)
