Scripture Pages that Link to Here
- There will be cycles of planting/harvest, cold/heat, summer/winter and day/night (the same thing we read about in Ecclesiastes). This will continue as long as the earth remains - at least the present earth (which we know will be destroyed in a future judgment).
- What is our ultimate gain from all that we do "under the sun"? Nothing! We die and are gone... and the world keeps on going...
- One of the "burdens" of "life under the sun": All of life is filled with pain, toiling, futility, etc. Once you die, all the "fruit" of your wisdom will be given to someone else. And you have no idea whether he will be a wise person (having a productive lifestyle, as in v. 4-9) or a fool (having a wasteful lifestyle, as in v. 1-3). You may spend a lifetime being wisely productive... and the person who gets it may waste it all in a matter of days!
- Death is a barrier that prevents us who are living "under the sun" from seeing what happens after death. It also prevents those who have died from seeing anything that happens "under the sun."
- "Fear of God" should influence how we live in our life "under the sun."
