Ecclesiastes 8:1 Who is as the wise man? and who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face to shine and the boldness.(Hebrews10:27).of his face shall be changed.

Ecclesiastes 8:2-5 I counsel you to keep the king's commandment and that in regard of the oath of God.(he may say he follows God, but does he?.Romans 13:1). Be not hasty to go out of his sight. Stand not in an evil thing for he does whatsoever pleases him. Where the word of a king is, there is power and who may say unto him, Why are you doing that? Whoso keeps the commandment shall feel no evil thing and a wise man’s heart discerns both time and judgment.

Ecclesiastes 8:6 Because to every purpose there is time and judgment.(or, to every purpose there is a proper time), therefore the misery of man is great upon him.

Ecclesiastes 8:7 For he knows not that which shall be; for who can tell him when it shall be?

Ecclesiastes 8:8 There is no man that has power over the spirit to retain the spirit.(the accurate Jewish translation has the word 'wind' for the word 'spirit), neither has he power in the day of death. And there is no discharge in that war.(the 'war' that death has over us comes with no escape until death itself is gone:.1Corinthians 15:26), neither shall wickedness deliver those that are given to it...

In Christ you have eternal life and don't die:.John 10:28.

The ego can screw us up so much that some even come to believe that in wickedness they can escape the 'reap what you sow' result of their evil doings. More evil can never be trusted to get one out of the mess he or she may be in. Only with God's help can one's life turn around. What is there that God can't do?

Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons. of men is fully set in them to do evil.

Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence.(original is 'awakened', that is, because people haven't awakened to see the import of what they were doing).against an evil work is not executed speedily.(train your children:.Proverbs 22:16), therefore the heart of the sons.(original word here for word 'sons' is, 'built from men', that is, the satanically genetically modified ones and who are they?).of men is fully set.(original for 'fully set' is 'filling up', 'fashioned').in them to do.(original for 'do' drills down to 'interweave').evil..(?)

This verse shows what happens when good people fail to deal with evil in their society. It just gets worse. If the justice system is composed of the same kind of criminals, sentence against any of them can easily be circumvented. A better system based on Natural Law is replacing it, because you can't change a warthog into a butterfly.

1Tmothy 4:2.

Ecclesiastes 8:12 Though a sinner do evil an hundred times and his days be prolonged.(though not happy days; days are prolonged in hope of change:.2Peter 3:9; Matthew 9:13; John 3:17; God is patient {Romans 15:5; Colossians 1:11), yet surely I know that it's good with them that fear God, which fear before him.

They realize they are always in the presence of the one and only true good God, knowing the true God indeed, does exist and their connection to this true God of all life is within them.

Ecclesiastes 8:13 But it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he fears not before God.

Ecclesiastes 8:14 There is a vanity which is done upon the Earth; that there be just men, unto whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there be wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous; I said that this also is vanity.

Evil things are allowed to happen to good people (example Job) because of what evil people think and do and good things happen to people who are evil because of what good people are like, such as their prayers for the evil and for the bad ones:.Matthew 5:44, God wanting that all should be awakened:.Romans 2:4; 2Peter 3:9.

Trying to figure out the whys and wherefores of things in this world can be frustrating, so just.focus on what counts and that is love and your eternity in it:.Matthew 13:16.

Ecclesiastes 8:17 Then I beheld all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun, because though a man labour to seek it out, yet he shall not find it. Yea further, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

It's God that leads us into life and learning.(*).

Ecclesiastes 9:1 For all this I.(who is 'I'?).considered in my heart even to declare all this, that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. No man knows either love or hatred by all that is before them.

Without God where would we be in life?

Love is within and can only be shared with others if they too have love within. Love existing is love recognized. We can't comprehend either love or hatred without there being plants to appreciate and other beings both animal and human on the Earth. It's attitude of things to interact with, that makes a difference. If these were not there, what would there be to learn?

Ecclesiastes 9:2 All things come alike to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked, to the good and to the clean and to the unclean, to him that sacrifices and to him that sacrifices not. As is the good, so is the sinner and he that swears, as he that fears an oath.

This was how Solomon, whose wisdom on life, noted the purpose of a life lived out of an ordinary consciousness:.Ecclesiastes 12:13,14.

Ecclesiastes 9:3 This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one event unto all, yea, also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil and madness is in their heart.(madness on Earth not tolerated beyond it).while they live and following that is death.

Those with evil hearts think not about the end of themselves, an end which comes to all humanity unless he or she changes (Matthew 21:32) from his evil ways and if he does, then what?

Those of humanity were born good, but having been easily and surreptitiously influenced by the dark side early in life, the pathway of evil had begun. God knew humans would head that way, as it seemed good that way to them. Not having early been taught by wise parents that there are many thing to be on the alert about, many grew up just going along with what others were like. The dark side ones have many tricks toward one's eventual downfall.

Ecclesiastes 9:4 For to him that is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die, but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward, for the memory of them is soon forgotten.

Ecclesiastes 9:5 For the living know that they shall die, but the dead.(here the verse is referring to what is commonly known as living human beings who pass on, that is, their time for what they were on Earth for is now over {verse 6 below}, because the soul they have has always been integrated with that energy and information which is eternal; see the Predestination subject).know not anything.(original for 'not anything' can just as easily be 'somewhat', that is, they know some things, as they did before on Earth in the physical, just they no longer can react to physical things of the Earth in the learning process of what the Earth is here for in the first place, because they are no longer part of the Earthly realm {that's why they all want to come back here}. The physical processor that processes information derived from use of our senses has gone at death like the rest of the physical body. The brain is a processor like a computer's processor in that it processes information received; the dead are those without the ability to be in a human physical body, that is, until they are resurrected), neither have they any more a reward.(for their physical efforts, because they are not in the physical world anymore, their physical time is over for efforts to give or gain. where one reaps what he has sown), for the memory of them is soon forgotten.

The verse is saying to make your life count spiritually, so that you do get a reward; we seldom give little thought to those passed on:.Ezekiel 18:4; Psalms 112:6 "...the righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance." Malachi 3:16 "...a book of remembrance was written before him for them that feared the Lord and that thought upon his name."

Ecclesiastes 9:6 Also their love and their hatred and their envy, is now perished, neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.

Their time has come and gone; they are now 'out of it', out of the physical existence. Where are they and what would they be doing?

Ecclesiastes 9:7 Go your way eat your bread with joy and drink your wine with a merry.(original 'good', 'pleasant', 'agreeable').heart, for God now.(original 'already', so live your life! Don't be hesitant to live your life the best you learn how to).accepts your works.

Ecclesiastes 9:8 Let thy garments be always white and let thy head lack no ointment.

Ecclesiastes 9:9 Live joyfully with the wife whom you love, all the days of the life of your vanity.(the physical life that you chose to have with each other), which he has given you under the sun. All the days of your vanity.(your physical life with expressions of your being you use daily in communication).that is your portion in this life and in your labour which you take under the sun..

Be content.

Ecclesiastes 9:10 Whatsoever you hand finds to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the grave, whither you go.(how long are we there?).

In other words, this is your time now. Do the best you can.

Ecclesiastes 9:11 I returned and saw under the sun that the race is not to the swift nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill, but time.(original is 'circumstances', 'season').and chance.(original 'meetings', 'occurrences').happens.(original is 'are caused to meet', 'occurs').

It's saying that to humans, life and its circumstances seem to be because of happenstance, but Creator-God is the engineer behind it all (Matthew 10:29-31), as verse 1 of this chapter 9 shows.

Ecclesiastes 9:12 For man also knows not his time. As the fishes that are taken in an evil net and as the birds that are caught in the snare, so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falls suddenly upon them.(words 'upon them' not in original, though.implied).

It wouldn't fall suddenly if they were doing this:.Isaiah 12:3.

Ecclesiastes 9:13-16 This wisdom have I seen also under the sun and it seemed great unto me. There was a little city and few men within it and there came a great king against it and besieged it and built great bulwarks against it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man and he by his wisdom delivered the city, yet no man remembered that same poor man. Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength, nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised and his words are not heard.(Isaiah 48:6-9).

Ecclesiastes 9:17 The words of wise men are heard in quiet more than the cry of him that rules among fools.

Ecclesiastes 9:18 Wisdom is better than weapons of war, but one sinner destroys much good.

Ecclesiastes 10:1 Dead flies.(amplified).cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking.savor, so does a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honor.

How many dead flies does our character hold rotting, that others can smell and are we continuing to add to the collection?.Matthew 6:23.

Ecclesiaste 10:3 Yea also, when he that is a fool walks by the way, his wisdom fails him and he says to every one that he is a fool.

Ecclesiaste 10:4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against you, leave not your place.(don't lose your composure), for yielding.(a healing wholesome attitude of non selfishness and one of just wanting to sincerely make things better for all).pacifies great offences.

Proverbs 15:1. Comprised with.Barnes Notes: Do not lose your self-control and quit his presence {like shutting your mouth off with an 'FU, I'm outta here!'). Gentleness.(Galatians 5:22).on your part will calm both yourself and him and prevent great wrongs being committed by either.

Ecclesiastes 10:11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment.(original is 'hissing'; they'll bite without warning by hissing').and a babbler is no better.

Ecclesiastes 5:7.

Ecclesiastes 10:12 The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself.

Ecclesiastes 10:13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness and the end of his talk is mischievous madness.

Ecclesiastes 10:14 A fool also is full of words. A man cannot tell what shall be and what shall be after him, who can tell him?

Proverbs 27:22.

Ecclesiastes 10:15 The labour of the foolish wearies every one of them, because he knows not how to go to the city.

Barnes Notes: the sense is, that he fool wearies himself with ineffectual attempts, he has not sufficient knowledge for the transaction of ordinary business.

Ecclesiastes 10:19 A feast is made for laughter and wine makes merry, but money answers all things.

Ecclesiastes 10:20 Curse not the king (Romans 13:1-5), no not in your thought and curse not the rich in your bedchamber, for a bird of the air shall carry the voice and that which has wings shall tell the matter.

Matthew 10:26.

Ecclesiastes 11:1 Cast your bread upon the waters for you'll find it after many days.

Here and there on the water, not all in one place and one reaps what he sows.

Ecclesiastes 11:2 Give a portion to seven and also to eight, for you know not what evil shall be upon the Earth.

Be circumspect with your life, wisely living it without offense to others:.Romans 12:18 "If it be possible, as much as lies in you, live peaceably with all people."

Ecclesiastes 11:3,4 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the Earth and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falls, there it shall be. He that observes the wind shall not sow and he that regards the clouds shall not reap.

Know what can affect your day and what doesn't. Stop looking too much at the weather. Ask God to bless your efforts and go do what you have to do, but if the weather gets worse, be wise enough to know when to stop.

Ecclesiastes 11:5 As you know not what is the way of the spirit nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child.(all comes from one cell), even so you know not the works of God who makes all.(Exodus 19:5).

Why don't we find and know?

Ecclesiastes 12:1 Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw near, when you say, I have no pleasure in them;

In other words, he's ready to pass on and no longer has interest in the bad things that may have been done in his youth, because life has finally taught him they had no profit: Ecclesiastes 2:11; Jeremiah 16:19;.Ezekiel 18:32; 33:11. 

Ecclesiastes 12:5 Also when they be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way and the almond tree shall flourish and the grasshopper shall be a burden and desire shall fail, because man goes to his long home and the mourners go about the streets.

Ecclesiastes 12:6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed or the golden bowl.(holding oil, symbolic of the complete spirit (the soul) / mind / brain connection).be broken or the pitcher be broken at the fountain or the wheel broken at the cistern.

That is, life falls apart on you. How to get away from this happening.

Adam Clarke's Commentary."The silver cord is the medulla oblongata or spinal marrow, from which all the nerves proceed, as itself does from the brain. This is termed a cord, from its exact similitude to one and a silver cord, from its colour, as it strikingly exhibits the silver gray.".Barnes Notes."The silver cord is the soul which holds the body in life.".Or, more specifically, part of the soul connected from the DNA to it. The DNA is an aerial, sending and receiviung information, which the satanic criminals want to interrupt with their poisonous device called an mRNA covid vaccine, a bioweapon for depopulation; not at all a vaccine, but like all vaccines, stay far away from them. There are healthy alternatives. Search for them.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the Earth as it was and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.

But, then what for us?

That's what happened to Emmanuel's spirit too:.Luke 23:46.

Job 34:13-15.

Ecclesiastes 12:11 The words of the wise are as goads and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

Barnes Notes: 'goads' because the words of the wise rouse the hearer and impel him to right actions; 'nails' (perhaps tent spikes), because they remain fixed in the memory. Words if they come from a really wise person will stick with the hearer:.Proverbs 15:1,2. 'Masters of assemblies' are simply 'teachers' or 'preachers':.Ecclesiastes 1:1; Proverbs 1:20,21.

Ecclesiastes 12:12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished; of making many books there is no end and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter. Fear God and keep his commandments.(in today's terms, comprehend how great Creator-God is and be of the same consciousness, which is what?, because all the old commandments are gone, having been replaced by what Christ brought and what was that?.Matthew 22:36-40), for this is the whole duty of man.

Original of 'this is the whole duty of man' is just one word 'man', meaning the real man, the whole man, the real you or this is what man is all about, why it is that he is here? This is what brings the real you to the fore. The whole lesson of the Old Testment was about how much better it would be when one turns to God and learns of Him.

THough the 600+ do's, don'ts, etc. of the Old Testament are now gone, the spiritual aspect, that is, those things having to do with the soul always remain as they are eternal. They are irrespective of time:.Malachi 2:10.

Ecclesiastes 12:14 For God.(what is Creator-God?).shall.(no 'shall' about it, as though some ominous event is awaiting someone, alluding to some future judgment; word 'shall' is not in original, so."God will bring...";).bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good or whether it be evil.

Verse is talking about the dynamic law of the multiverse, that of reaping and sowing.
