The Memory Text says:

Quote:

"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" (Ecclesiastes 3:17 NKJV).

Does the Memory Text indicate that Solomon is finally coming back to his senses in bringing God back into the equation?

Sunday's section says that God is the God of time.

Quote:

In numerous places the Bible talks about the role of time in God's plans. Jesus appeared in Galilee declaring that "the time is fulfilled" (Mark 1:15). Paul, in reference to the first coming of Jesus, wrote that "when the fulness of the time was come, god sent forth his Son" (Gal. 4:4); in reference to the Second Coming, he wrote: "until our Lord Jesus Christ's appearing, which He will manifest in His own time" (1 Tim. 6:14, 15, NKJV). An angel appeared to John and said to him, " 'Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book, for the time is at hand' " (Rev. 22:10, NKJV). We can see that God works through time in order to bring about His will.

It was God who set time in motion from the very first time He began the process of creation from the creation of His own dwelling place, from the creation of the angels, from the creation of other inhabited worlds, to the creation of this inhabited world.

Monday's section is about time for this and time for that.

It says there that "Solomon seems to be talking about various aspects of human life and that at certain times some things are appropriate while at other times the opposite things are."

The one that seems to give the most problem is "a time to kill" in verse 3, but how can this ever be appropriate?

Reading the law of Moses will give light on this. There are more than a few crimes which are punishable by death recorded there. Reading the history of Solomons father, king David will give some more light on this. People get killed in wars.


Galatians 2
21 I do not frustrate the grace of God: for if righteousness come by the law, then Christ is dead in vain.

It is so hazardous to take here a little and there a little. If you put the right little's together you can make the bible teach anything you wish. //Graham Maxwell

A time to kill must be in reference to the death penalty, which Solomon, as a king, would have had to have made judgements on.

Tuesday's section is based on the following verse:

Quote:

Ecc. 3:11 He has made everything beautiful in His time; also He has set eternity in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God makes from the beginning to the end.

What do you think Solomon meant by the phrase that God has "put eternity" in the hearts of human beings?

I think that God has "put eternity" in the hearts of human beings in the sense that human beings want to live forever.

Human beings forever searching for "the fountain of youth" is a good example of that.

Solomon wanted to live forever. He dreaded the thought of death. I also dread the thought of death.

Who wants to die? Anybody in their right mind doesn't want to die. Even those who commit suicide do not really want to die.

Wednesday's section brings the element of God and judgment into the picture.

Quote:

Ecc. 3:16 And again I saw under the sun the place of judgment, that wickedness was there; and the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

17 I said in my heart, God shall judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

What is Solomon saying in verse 16?

There doesn't seem to be much discussion in this week's study.

Anyway, Thursday's section moves on to comparing men to beasts when it comes to death. Both die.

Quote:

Solomon is, again, looking at the meaninglessness of life lived apart from God, a life lived only for the immediate pleasures of this world. It has to be meaningless because when it's all done, humans and beasts "all go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again" (vs. 20). As we saw in Tuesday's lesson, that's a conclusion most humans find unsettling, one that makes all that comes before death not only hebel but even worse. One atheist author wrote about the "absurdity" of life: It taunts us with the hope and promise of meaning, and yet in the end we all end up in the same meaningless place as the beasts.

Yes, both die, but there is a difference.

What is that difference?
