Ecclesiastes Chapter 7

Complete Jewish Bible

Part 3 Vs. 11-17

 

When Soloman writes Ecclesiastes he seems disappointed and discouraged about the results of his life choices and how he sees the lives of others working out in the world.

Solomon knew the True and Living GOD JEHOVAH, he knew of the Promised Messiah but could not reconcile what he experienced and saw with the Promise. We have the Promised Messiah, JESUS CHRIST, we have no excuse for this kind of sorrow!

 

:11-12 Wisdom is good (Proverbs 9:10), along with possessions, an advantage to all who see the sun (Proverbs 4:18). For Wisdom is a shelter (Proverbs 9:1-6, 24:3-4) and money is a shelter (Proverbs 10:15, 18:11; Matthew 6:19-24, 19:23-24; Luke 12:16-21), but the advantage of Knowledge (Proverbs 1:6) is that Wisdom keeps the one who has it Alive (Proverbs 1:33, 3:13-18).

 

:13 Consider The Work of GOD (Psalm 90:1-2: Proverbs 8:25-26; Revelation 4:11); who can make straight what He has made crooked (Job 12:13-14; Isaiah 40:3-5; Matthew 3:1-3)?

 

:14 When things are going well enjoy yourself, but when things are going badly consider that GOD made the one alongside the other (Proverbs 5:21, 15:3; Matthew 5:45; Romans 8:28; James 1:2-3), so that people would learn nothing of their futures (Ecclesiastes 6:12).

 

:15 In my pointless life I have seen everything – from the righteous person perishing in his uprightness to the wicked one who lives a long life and keeps on doing wrong (Proverbs 8:10-15; when you do not understand, trust and wait John 16:12).

 

:16 So don’t be overly Righteous or overly Wise; why should you disappoint yourself (Proverbs 25:27; Jeremiah 9:23-24; Romans 12:3)?

 

:17 Don’t be overly wicked and don’t be foolish; why should you die before your time (Job 15:20, 30-32; Psalm 55:23; Proverbs 12:15; Titus 3:3)?

When Solomon writes Ecclesiastes he seems disappointed and discouraged about the results of his life choices and how he sees the lives of others working out in the world.

Solomon knew the True and Living GOD JEHOVAH, he knew of the Promised Messiah but could not reconcile what he experienced and saw with the Promise. We have the Promised Messiah, JESUS CHRIST, we have no excuse for this kind of sorrow!

 

:4 The thoughts (heart) of the wise are in the house of mourning, but the thoughts (heart) of the fools are in the house of pleasure (Proverbs 6:24-27, 9:1-6).

 

:5-6 It is better to hear (listen too, not just hear) the rebukes of the wise (Psalm 141:5) than to listen to the songs of fools, for the laughter (Ecclesiastes 2:1-2) of fools is like the crackling (Lit. sound) of thorns burning under a pot; this too is pointless (thorns burn fast and produce no coals and the wisdom of fools is folly, Proverbs 23:9, 24:7).

 

:7 But oppression can make a wise man stupid (destroys a wise man’s reason, Exodus 23:9); also a gift (bribe) can destroy understanding (Exodus 23:8).

 

:8-9 The end of something is better tha its beginning (Matthew 19:28-30; Job 42:12), so the patient are better than the proud (Proverbs 14:29, 26:12; Galatians 5:22-24; Ephesians 4:1-3; James 1:2-4; 1 Peter 2:20; Revelation 13:10, 14:6-12). Don’t be quick to get angry, for [only] fools nurse anger (Proverbs 15:1-2, 16:32, 17:14; Psalm 4:4; Ephesians 4:25-27).

 

:10 Don’t ask why the old days were better than now because that is a foolish question (there is no such thing as “The good old days.” Philippians 3:1-11)

:1 A good name is better than perfumed oil (precious ointment Exodus 29:1-7; Psalm 133; Proverbs 22:1; Matthew 26:6-13) and the day of death better than the day of birth (Job 3:1, 10-11; Ecclesiastes 4:1-3).

 

:2-3 Better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting (Proverbs 15:15-17, for all are destined to be mourned (Nehemiah 8:8-10; Matthew 5:4) the living should lay this to heart; grief (sorrow) is better than laughter, for sadness can improve a person ( 2 Corinthians 7:9-11; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-14; Proverbs 17:22; Deuteronomy 32:28-29; Psalm 90:12; 2 Peter 3:10-11).

"If It's Your Will!"

 

“If it’s Your Will!”

All quotes from The Scriptures

 

Matthew 8:2-4 “And see, a leper came and bowed before Him (JESUS), saying, ‘MASTER (LORD), if You Desire, You are Able to make me Clean.’ And stretching out His hand YESHUA touched him saying, ‘I Desire it. Be Cleansed!’ and Immediately his leprosy was Cleansed; And YESHUA said to him, ‘See, mention it to no one, but go your way show yourself to the priest and offer the gift that Mosheh commanded as a Witness to them.’”

 

Christians pray “If it is Your Will” all the time but do we forget to add, “You are Able!” This man told JESUS, “If You want, You are Able…”

 

It’s not just asking GOD to do something for us, it’s recognizing that first He is Able and second that it is His Will! “And Belief (Faith) is the Substance of what is Expected, the Proof of what is not seen…But without Belief it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to ELOHIM (GOD) Has To Believe that He Is and that He Is a Rewarder of those who earnestly Seek Him.” Hebrews 11:1, 6 “If any of you lacks Wisdom let him ask of Elohim, Who Gives to all generously and without reproach and it shall be given to him. But he should ask in Belief not doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind.” James 1:5-6

 

JESUS said that if we know GOD’s Word and have the smallest amount of Faith we will have control over even creation. So why do we (I) have doubt when we pray? Because sometimes it is not GOD’s Will at that time for whatever reason to do what we ask or even demand. So we begin to doubt, did I pray correctly, did GOD hear my prayer, do I have sin in my life, etc.

 

The Bible teaches us that GOD always hears our prayers, spoken or not and we know from The Bible that it is GOD’s Will to Heal us, Deliver us, Bless us, etc. So why do our prayers go unanswered sometimes? There are many reasons like its not GOD’s Purpose at this time, maybe there is something in your life that causes GOD to hold back for your benefit, maybe the adversary is blocking GOD’s response.

 

JESUS prayed earnestly three times that if it was possible for Him to not have to suffer the cross, but He concluded each time, “Not my Will but Your Will be done!” and He went to the cross for us. Paul prayed three times for GOD to take away a thorn in his life and GOD told him that His Grace was sufficient for Paul, so Paul continued to suffer that thorn.

 

The problem is not GOD’s lack of answering our prayers, it is our attitude when that happens. Both JESUS and Paul accepted GOD’s Will and Purpose and continued without complaint to Serve GOD’s Purpose. This is the challenge for us as Believers in JESUS, to accept GOD’s Will and Purpose for our life and to continue to Obey without complaint. “…work out your own deliverance with fear and trembling, for it is ELOHIM Who is Working in you both to Desire and to Work for His good Pleasure. Do all Matters without Grumblings and Disputings” Philippians 2:12-14
