Ecclesiates11:1 Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt
find it after many days.
2 Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou
knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth.
3 If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves
upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward
the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall
be.
4 He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that
regardeth the clouds shall not reap.
-
Shall not sow . . . shall not reap = The
ploughing must be done when the early rains have
come, even in the face of storm and tempest;
otherwise there will be no reaping after the
latter rains.
-
If you have your seed in the farm, it's not
going grow
5 As thou knowest not what is the way of the
spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of
her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of
God who maketh all.
6 In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening
withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall
prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be
alike good.
7 Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant
thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
8 But if a man live many years, and rejoice in
them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they
shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
-
Enjoy the good days of life, because there's
going to be some bad days.
9 Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart
cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of
thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that
for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
-
You are judged by your works
10 Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away
evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
-
Remove Sorrow, Put Away evil, you are judged by your works
• Exactly 2520 years from the exile
of Benjamin, Iceland became an independent nation.
•
The first tribe to be
conquered by the Assyrians was Manasseh,
in 745 B.C. Exactly 2520 years later America became a nation on July 4, 1776.
(Leviticus. 26: 28-46) God warned Israel that if they persisted in continually
breaking His Laws, not only would curses come upon them.
He would punish them for seven times, (a time being 360 years, seven times would
be 2520 years) and would banish them from the land of Palestine and scatter them
among the heathens (like lost sheep)
