Ecclesiastes Part 3: A Sense of Permanence - Richard E. Simmons III

As we continue studying the book of Ecclesiastes, we see that Solomon goes through some really interesting times in his life. He experiences a dark period where he thinks about life as if there is no God, and what that would mean.

I recently heard the famous song by John Lennon called Imagine. Lennon sings:

"Imagine there is no heaven. It's easy if you try.

No hell below us above us only sky.

Imagine all the people living for today..."

Solomon expressed the same message. He said that without the existence of God, no heaven, and no hell, then life is bleak.

The only thing we can do is try to divert our minds. One of the ways you do that is to live for today,

And living for the moment is what pleasure is all about. You.

But in Ecclesiastes 3:11, Solomon expresses that God set eternity in the heart of mankind:

"He (God) has made everything appropriate in its time. He has also set eternity in their heart, without the possibility that mankind will find out the work which God has done from the beginning even to the end." >>Watch on YouTube
