Morning Light - Ecclesiastes 3

Today: [Ecclesiastes 3] To Every Time there is a Season. In our chapter today we find one of the most commonly known passages of Ecclesiastes. To everything there is a season. This passage has been disputed by man either to be a statement of the monotony and pointlessness of life, or on the opposite the beauty of life as God intended it. As we study the wording in its entirety we see in this chapter a warning not to be high-minded in our thinking toward our fellow man – even those we consider offenders because as elsewhere in the scripture we find stated that “God rains on the just and the unjust” alike. Furthermore in this chapter we find two gems of revelatory truth, one regarding “eternity set in the hearts of men” and the other questioning where the beast nature of man came from if in fact the usurper (Satan himself) is a fallen angel? Why, if Satan is a fallen angel does not the sinner take on the nature of an angel and instead as the scripture insists the nature of the “beast”?
