from The Bible as Literature · host The Ephesus School
There is a time for every season under heaven: A time to be silent and a time to speak; A time to love and a time to hate; A time for war and a time for peace: For many, these words call to mind a beautiful ballad lamenting the futility of war. However, for the Preacher in Jerusalem, the list of dichotomies presented in Ecclesiastes 3 speak to something far more difficult: inasmuch as war is as certain as peace, and tears are as certain laughter, all things, even the things we hate, are a gift from God.
