The Book of Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 10

Ecclesiastes 10:1 says, "Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: [so doth] a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom [and] honour." If a fly lands in cologne or perfume, that sweet fragrance will become a stench (stink), no longer having any worth. This is an analogy relating to a wise person who becomes dull or stupid, their reputation losing its value or worth for inappropriately dealing with a fool who does not want to or have the desire to identify with words of wisdom when hearing them. If you act as ignorant as the fool your wisdom no longer has any sweet aroma. It is your spiritual body that gives your flesh body that sweet aroma of speaking and acting wisely, since once the flesh passes away and the spirit returns to Father God that flesh becomes a place of stink for the flies to abide in.

Ecclesiastes 10:2 says, "A wise man's heart [is] at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left." The "right hand (spiritually speaking)" is the hand of obedience, discipline, honor, might and power in serving Father God according to His will, being within His service. The "left hand (spiritually speaking)" is speaking of those who are not doing what is "right" according to the Word of Almighty God. Christ Jesus now sits at the "Right Hand of Father God" as is taught in Luke 22:69 which says, "Hereafter shall the Son of man sit on the right hand of the power of God." If you want to walk a Christ-like path it is necessary to be "right" with Father God.

Ecclesiastes 10:3 says, "Yea also, when he that is a fool walketh by the way, his wisdom faileth [him], and he saith to every one [that] he [is] a fool." A fool does not show wisdom because they have no wisdom. A fool just speaks flowery words that have no meaning; just empty sayings, therefore that which comes from their mouth lacks substance. It is not necessary to point out that a person is a fool because they generally do a really good job of demonstrating that on their own for all to see. A fool does not have enough sense to keep their mouth shut, to keep those around them even guessing.

Ecclesiastes 10:4 says, "If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for yielding pacifieth great offences." If you are in the "right" and someone comes against you, stand your ground because you have done nothing wrong and Father God will take care of the matter. Father said "touch not mine anointed and do my prophets no harm (Psalms 105:15)" and He means exactly that. Do not appease (pacify) your accuser with lies or excuses since that will only cause you to sink deeper into that which you are falsely accused of bringing on a double dose of troubles and likely making you appear to be guilty. When you are right "stand" your ground and have faith in Father God, and do so with humility since you know Almighty God empowers His own. When satan is cast to this earth as the first/false christ, it is faith and trust in Father God that will cause you to "stand" against him knowing our LORD always keeps His promises and takes care of His own.

Ecclesiastes 10:5 says, "There is an evil [which] I have seen under the sun, as an error [which] proceedeth from the ruler:" As long as there is flesh walking under the sun, evil has been, is and will be committed, intentionally or not and by all standards.

Ecclesiastes 10:6 says, "Folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in low place." Fools are promoted to high positions while those who are wise and have common sense are overlooked. Choices will be decided in this manner when decisions are made by fools, meaning they can only recognize and relate to another fool. These things happen because there is a lack of understanding or having wisdom of Father God's Word and how His Divine Intervention keeps you on the "right" path. This truth reveals itself as you observe the order of religion, politics, economics and education, and how these systems are all networks of confusion (satan).

Ecclesiastes 10:7 says, "I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking as servants upon the earth." This is to say the fools that should be servants have power and authority, while the wise that should have that power and authority are under the rank of the fools. This is the danger of having earthly wisdom. It does not empower to make wise decisions and as a result you have all the confusion that plagues this world. Proverbs 1:7 says, "The fear (love) of the LORD [is] the beginning of knowledge: [but] fools despise wisdom and instruction."

Ecclesiastes 10:8 says, "He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him." No matter who you are or what your earthly status is, if you set a trap for someone else, you will, sooner or later fall into it yourself. When you set out to do evil against someone else, it is going to end up having the boomerang effect and return to bite you down to your bone and marrow. Life goes full circle and what goes around comes around. Laying snares for people is the game satan plays and by his own amusement he has received his judgment from Father God, condemned to the death of his very soul. If you play a fool for satan you can rest assured that just when you are at the top of your game he will surely bite you just like a vicious dog. There is no loyalty among fools.

Ecclesiastes 10:9 says, "Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; [and] he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby." Father God gave all of His children throughout the whole earth their own landmarks and said they should not be removed (Deuteronomy 19:14) and if you do remove it, you will feel the pain of this disobedience (Deuteronomy 27:17). The fools did not listen and as a result, take a look at the conditions plaguing the people of this earth because of disobedience to Father's Word. Upon this earth the dull axe is being swung without conscious by the fools and because of their lack of common sense, they do not even have the good judgment to move when the wood flies before it hits them in the head. If you do not know who you are, who you stood with in the First Earth Age during the time of satan's rebellion, why you were born from above, the events that shall consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age, and most of all, serve Father God from the depths of your soul, your head is filled with nothingness. When you are dull within your mind there is no desire to seek, ask and knock for understanding of those spiritual things that can only be found within Father's Word.

Ecclesiastes 10:10 says, "If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom [is] profitable to direct." Just as you have or sharpen a knife or axe to cut cleanly, you have to sharpen your mind which comes from studying and understanding Father's Word in order to be disciplined and obedient to Father God and staying clear of that snake (satan), who is always waiting for you to drop your guard, becoming dull, so he can seduce your mind. Father God has provided the tools (Holy Bible, Strong's Concordance, Smith's Bible Dictionary) required to sharpen your mind to understanding His Truths so you are not existing with a dull mind, unprepared, having no oil in your lamp (Matthew - Chapter 25), receiving Christ Jesus as "King of kings and Lord of lords" with joy.

Ecclesiastes 10:11 says, "Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better." The serpent is satan as is taught in Revelation 12:9 which says, "And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." Just as satan "charmed" Adam and Eve in Genesis - Chapter 3, if you are not teaching and understanding Father's Word as the churches of Smyrna and Philadelphia, you are ripe for the taking as satan in his disguise as the first/false christ (anti-christ) will entice you with his charismatic charm biting you with deception that places your very soul in jeopardy before Father God Almighty. Your mind will be filled with babble and confusion from the teachings of self-appointed, Biblically illiterate religious teachers, the kenites (satan's children) sitting at the helm of these churches of nothingness. Therefore, you will bow down and worship satan when he presents himself as the first/false christ (anti-christ), deceiving most of the world into believing he is our True Christ here to rapture them away while providing you with all your heart desires and displaying lying wonders your ignorant, deceived eyes will marvel over. II Corinthians 11:3 says, "But I fear, lest by any means, as the serpent beguiled Eve through his subtilty, so your minds should be corrupted from the simplicity that is in Christ." If you have not absorbed and sealed the Truth of Father's Word within your mind, having no foundation which should be Christ Jesus, what you stand upon will crumble into nothingness.

Ecclesiastes 10:12 says, "The words of a wise man's mouth [are] gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself." "Gracious" means "make favorable, God given - unmerited favor." All wisdom comes from Father God when you love, study Truth and serve Him joyfully. Truth will lead, guide and direct your path, and when that same Truth is shared, it draws others with ears to hear and eyes to see into the family of Almighty God. The fool, lacking the knowledge of Father's Word, sounding holy with dazzling and fancy words that have no spiritual depth, no meaning, bringing about confusion, leads the perpetrator and the ignorant people following them straight to their own end because they are led by the flesh rather than the spirit leading the flesh.

Ecclesiastes 10:13 says, "The beginning of the words of his mouth [is] foolishness: and the end of his talk [is] mischievous madness." A fool speaks religious nonsense that brings about insanity which is dangerous since it causes your mind to be filled with confusion and babble concerning the spiritual matters of Father God, therefore causing you to walk in darkness which is of satan.

Ecclesiastes 10:14 says, "A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him?" Only a fool can understand a fool (a babbler) who talks on endlessly saying absolutely nothing and making no sense at all. They take Father's Word in their ignorance and twist magnificent teachings to fit into their own topic of religious confusion. This is what happens when you do not teach Father's Word Chapter by Chapter and Verse by Verse. This is also what happens when you want to play church which opens the door and gives satan and his kenite children the power to charm you straight out of the outstretched arms of Father God. They like playing church and this is why they do not want to be in the presence of the very elect who will plant seeds of truth of what has happened, what is happening and what shall happen. The fool will find out that ignorance shall be no excuse when they are on their knees before satan when your True Christ returns as "King of kings and Lord of lords."

Ecclesiastes 10:15 says, "The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city." A fool remains a fool since they know what is being taught or heard, whichever the case, does not make sense, yet they do not have enough common sense to seek out one who has wisdom to share pearls of truth from Father's Word. If you pray from a true heart for a teacher, Father will send you one. Anyone with sense wants to know spiritually what the events are that will consummate the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age. There is no way to love and serve Father God if you never bother to study His Word so you know first of all who our LORD is and how much He loves His children. Father God stretched out His arms on that cross through Christ Jesus so that the door to salvation was opened to His children. There is no greater love than this. It is impossible to be in the service of Father, standing and doing battle against satan and his entourage when you cannot even find your way to open the Word of Father God (city) and study, seeking, asking and knocking for that increase of understanding only He can give.

Ecclesiastes 10:16 says, "Woe to thee, O land, when thy king [is] a child, and thy princes eat in the morning!" There is grief coming to all those calling themselves christians, sitting in churches around the world faithfully listening to their pulpit gurus who can teach you as much as a new born baby of the Truths of Father's Word. Let us not forget the pulpit guru's assistants (princes) who have attended schools of doctrines and traditions of men, that being required by their pulpit gurus, who likewise devour and destroy (eat) the minds of people seeking, looking for (morning - Light, Christ Jesus) truth, and they slaughter their minds with babble and confusion.

Ecclesiastes 10:17 says, "Blessed [art] thou, O land, when thy king [is] the son of nobles, and thy princes eat in due season, for strength, and not for drunkenness!" You are blessed by Father God when He sends you a true teacher of His Word, one who was proven in the Age that was, chosen before the foundation of this Flesh or Second Earth Age (Ephesians - Chapter 1). This is speaking of the very elect who, having coming to the knowledge of Father's Truths, continue to feed and sustain their spiritual body with faithful study, building their gospel armor, loving and serving Father God unconditionally with a joyful heart. They are not lost in babble and confusion (drunkenness) because when you seek, ask and knock, Father God will grant you that increase of understanding only He can give. This pleases our Father because He knows you will know when our "King of kings and Lord of lords" returns to this earth since you have understanding of the chronological order of events leading up to the end of this Flesh or Second Earth Age.

Ecclesiastes 10:18 says, "By much slothfulness the building decayeth; and through idleness of the hands the house droppeth through." "Slothfulness" means "laziness." If your roof has a leak that you never attend to due to laziness; just sitting around (idleness) as if nothing is wrong, eventually the roof will collapse. The same holds true for your spiritual body. If you listen to Biblically illiterate pulpit gurus and their assistants who have no true knowledge of Father's Word, too lazy to study for yourself or praying for a teacher and that increase of understanding only Father can give, just sitting back accepting empty teachings, your spiritual body will eventually collapse into darkness, which is of satan. Biblical illiteracy will cause you to be lazy, idle and disobedient. It is necessary to have a conscious toward Father God to keep you on the "right" path spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally.

Ecclesiastes 10:19 says, "A feast is made for laughter, and wine maketh merry: but money answereth all [things]." Father God blesses those who bless Him and the only way to bless our Father is by studying His Word and understanding His Truths. With that, you show Father how much He is loved, appreciated, thanked for the greatest love of all. You thank Him for the rest, peace of mind and joy within your life. You show Father you have discipline and are obedient to His Truths. Understanding brings knowledge and common sense. You take the blessings of Father God joyfully, enjoy yourself however use them wisely as you walk under the sun, in your flesh body, preserving Father's gifts as you continue to be His faithful servant. Working for Father brings spiritual and physical blessings.

Ecclesiastes 10:20 says, "Curse not the king, no not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bedchamber: for a bird of the air shall carry the voice, and that which hath wings shall tell the matter." Avoid using the name of Christ Jesus in vain within your thoughts, since Father hears it and will not be pleased (repent), nor speak it out loud under any circumstance. Avoid expressing annoyance or irritation against another individual since as they say, the walls have ears and if one who gossips hears what you had to say about someone else, just as sure as the sun will shine again, you can rest assured the word is out. We are taught as children that if you have nothing good to say about someone, say nothing at all, or, if someone has offended you, go straight to the offender; face to face. As for those who gossip, remember that it takes fifty percent of your time to mind your own business, and the other fifty percent to stay out of someone else's business. Father God takes care of His very elect and He expects us to care for each other and use common sense when dealing with those still lost in Biblical ignorance. Let there be peace and rest within the family of Christ Jesus by doing it His way, demonstrating discipline, obedience, respect; christian and family love.
