What Purpose is the Physical? (Ecclesiastes)

 


Life herds cats. Torah is the only alternative lifestyle that brings contentment. Those who reject the spiritual realm create a prison of the carnal world. The world teaches us to continually demands more , but Sofia heals as James 3:14-18 states this:

 

“But if you have bitter jealousy and selfish ambition in your heart, do not be arrogant and so lie against the truth. This wisdom is not that which comes down from above, but is earthly, natural, demonic. For where jealousy and selfish ambition exist, there is disorder and every evil thing. But the wisdom from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy and good fruits, unwavering, without hypocrisy. And the seed whose fruit is righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”NASU

l

Lawyers rejoices on others’ misery. Even as the water cycle wickedness falls to the next generations.

 

As one studies philosophy and all other subjects, humanity binds themselves to penible occupations. We have chosen wickedness over what the Lord want. We bent ourselves to do evil. The darkness in our own heart overcomes our highest level of education, for knowledge births stupidity. They say only in sorrows can one love.

 

        But what is wrong some stupidity? After pleasure, darkness embraces us. The more “toys “ like cars houses, etc. we gain; the witness against us. Toys become tools as tools become necessities loosing the happiness it brought. Tools become heritage, but descendants rarely protect their heritage as Confederate Monuments are being ripped away. This lead many to despair, but depending on the Lord brings order to the chaos of reality making us benefit from our own labor as Ecclesiastes 2:26 says, “For God giveth to a man that is good in his sight wisdom, and knowledge, and joy: but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that is good before God.”KJV

 

When we weep on Tisha B’AV, it is out of the spirit of Hope that we see the return of Messiah. As forest replaces battlefields, shalom replaces hatred for Messiah heals the nations. Through the failures of the second temple, Yeshua became the savior of the world. In all people, there is a yearning for Messiah as their mythologies declare the coming of the Heaven’s Way as Ecclesiastes 3:11says, “He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.”(from New International Version)

 

Injustice is currently the norm. Man became a rabid beast, but the Lord hears the oppressed. While it is said “God is in His heaven, and the Tsar is far away,” the Lord comforts the weak. Gabriel gives death as a blessing. Work becomes hatred. Even in our broken state, we cry to fight the wrong as “2020 Cry for Justice” says “We cry for justice because of the image of God in every human being, the God revealed in Jesus Christ. The One who loves justice, and works for all the oppressed.”

 

Our greatest ability is praising the Lord. Loss takes away the ability to give to others, for in giving to others one finds a more pure happiness. An aborted child is blessed more than a man who could walk in upright before the Lord but can never benefit from his righteousness. No one’s desires are completely fulfilled, but poverty can teach a taste of contentment. Satisfaction can only come from obeying the word of the Lord.

 

Our ancestral crest are our greatest possessions, but a friend of the Lord who was blessed with a new name is greater than a priest who sought the atonement of Israel. Holy wisdom is even greater than the good name. Out of the chaos of Life we seek the One who calms our soul. Those who help the families of those who are dying will be attended to by those families when they are at death’s door as Rashi’s commentary of Ecclesiastes 7 says, “he who bears the dead-they will bear him.”

 

 When you hold your tongue, wisdom reviles the greater questions. Wisdom is the key to gaining wealth and makes men strong in gaining a kingdom. The more you put your heart to study the more you see how stupid you are. Even as the Caronaviris pandemic did not create scholar, knowledge must always rest with wisdom. There are two people who draw our attention: the godly and the pervert, but only wisdom knows the difference.

 

When one stands in the presence of the Almighty long enough, his body glows. Government’s authority is derived from guns, but a child of the Holy One has given his allegiance to the Almighty alone as Leo Tolstoy said, “Christianity in its genuine sense puts an end to the State. It was so understood from its very beginning, and for that Christ was crucified.” A Christian does not depend on bullets or ballots to achieve his ideal. He achieves his ideal by living daily in the Word the one-man revolution with which he faces a decadent, confused and dying world.

 

The Bible is the declaration of divine love and anthology of those who changed who they were to fallow the Lord. Greatness is not found is ancient histories but in every soul who turns from his sin and puts his faith in the work of Messiah as Luke 15:10 says, “In the same way, I tell you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner who repents.” NASU Like William the Silent, silent wisdom brings victory.

 

Wicked are unworthy of truth, but wisdom is the garment of the righteous. When we live in the Light year become blessings. Pleasure is not a sin if we remember the Lord.  Too much knowledge causes madness but wisdom begins in terror of the Holy One as Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 states, “The conclusion, when all has been heard, is: fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to  every person. For God will bring every act to judgment, everything which is hidden, whether it is good or evil.”NASU

 

Pity the poor. Keep your word. Love what you have. Fear God.
