The Book of Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes - Chapter 12

Ecclesiastes 12:1 says, "Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;" Solomon was rich beyond degree and had all the tangible things of life that were to be had, yet he found those things did not mean anything, emptiness that did not bring him happiness. His joy came with having Father God in his life. It is necessary to reverence, love and serve Father God while you have your health and stretch, are of sound mind, have a sound quality of life and came be a servant to and for His Living Word. When the body is aged and lacks the ability and desire to move about and engage in spiritual things, not necessarily because you do not want to, rather because the flesh is too tired, not feeling so well, this is the reason why you want to actively serve Father God while you have your senses and abilities; feeling the joy our LORD brings you. Thank our Father through Christ Jesus that you have the ability to walk a Christ-like path, studying, understanding and planting seeds of truth wherever they may be heard because you are without excuse. "Seek ye the LORD while He may be found, call ye upon Him while He is near: (Isaiah - Chapter 55)."

Ecclesiastes 12:2 says, "While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:" Be in the service of Father God while you can still walk, talk, see and enjoy the Magnificence of Father God as you help to spread that Good Gospel that our Lord Jesus Christ is returning soon to this earth as our "King of kings and Lord of lords." Also, to share that doom that shall be cast upon this earth that before our True Christ returns, satan shall be cast to this earth as the first/false christ to perpetrate the greatest deception ever to be known to mankind and you do not want to be and participate in this deception. Seek our LORD and share His Good Gospel while it can be found, while you are physically and most of all, spiritually vivacious. Once Christ Jesus appears on this earth and you have bowed down worshipping satan believing him to be our True Christ here to rapture you away, it is too late since the chastisement of Father God shall be upon you. The shame you shall feel at that time will completely remove from your spirit the brightness of joy from our Father God as your spirit feels like the flesh when it is old and decrepit.

Ecclesiastes 12:3 says, "In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened," This is describing the aging of the flesh body (house), when your arms and legs have no strength, giving away, even those who were healthy as horses becoming bow legged, teeth falling out so you cannot even eat what you used to and want to; your days and nights spent looking out of the window at others and not even with clear sight. Well, yes that flesh body will age, becoming useless as time goes on, returning to the dust; however the spiritual body never ages. It shall always be beautiful and vivacious just as Father God created it to dwell with Him throughout all of Eternity, as Paul teaches of your spiritual body in I Corinthians - Chapter 15.

Ecclesiastes 12:4 says, "And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;" When you flesh grows old and your teeth fall out, you keep your mouth shut and hide those gums. You no longer need the birds or other sweet melodies to awaken you in the morning since you no longer sleep so well at night. Pleasing Father God who gave us our flesh bodies, we want to take care of them as best we can; however one way or the other, short of passing away early in life, it will age and become decrepit. This again is why you want to serve Father God while in your youth, able to use your mind to understand His Truths, hearing, speaking and sharing Father's Good Gospel. Father's Word is Precious and must be taught with joy, strength and jubilation. "Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice, and let [men] say among the nations, the LORD reigneth (1 Chronicles - Chapter 16)."

Ecclesiastes 12:5 says, "Also [when] they shall be afraid of [that which is] high, and fears [shall be] in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:" Age of the flesh causes the body to go feeble, become unsteady, creating the fear of falling. The hair turns gray (almond tree shall flourish; wisdom) and begins to fall out and everything seems to overload you and pleasing the flesh no long seems to matter; all these things signifying death of the flesh is at the door. Knowing all flesh shall perish; take great joy in knowing that "long home" is that spiritual body you will live in for all of the Eternity. This is what you are longing for and why you do your very best to walk a Christ-like path in the service of Father God for to be absent from this flesh body is to be present with our LORD, our Creator within His Perfect, Beautiful Heavenly Age. "Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all the earth: make a loud noise, and rejoice, and sing praise (Psalms 98:4)."

Ecclesiastes 12:6 says, "Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern." The "silver cord" is that which holds your spirit, your soul within the flesh body until it passes away. The "golden bowl" is your flesh body that breaks and releases that "silver cord." A "cistern" must be filled with water since it is a well and if the wheel that holds the bucket is broken, you cannot draw water up from the well. If the "pitcher is broken or the cistern cannot be filled" there is no water within either of them. This is as life leaks out of the flesh body, broken, it passes away and the spiritual body is released, returning to Father God and if you have taken good care of your "long home", you will never thirst as Christ Jesus is our "Living Water." "For the Lamb which is in the midst of the throne shall feed them, and shall lead them unto living fountains of waters: and God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes. (Revelation 7:17)." John 4:10 says, “Jesus answered and said unto her, If thou knewest the gift of God, and who it is that saith to thee, Give me to drink; thou wouldest have asked of him, and he would have given thee living water.”

Ecclesiastes 12:7 says, "Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it." Once the silver cord breaks, the flesh body passes away and returns to the dust from which it came, having no life left within it as the spirit body returns to our Father God who created it for His pleasure. II Corinthians 5:7 & 8 says, "(For we walk by faith, not by sight:)" "We are confident, [I say], and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord."

Ecclesiastes 12:8 says, "Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all [is] vanity." All things are worthless, empty, as the flesh body, a mere shell that returns to the dust when the spirit leaves it since it is without our Father God Almighty.

Ecclesiastes 12:9 says, "And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, [and] set in order many proverbs." This is what a teacher chosen by our Father God does, meaning His very elect. They explain the Parables and sayings which are Proverbial within Father's Word "after and while" they study Truth, receiving that increase of understanding only He can give that is to be shared. This is how the "Good Gospel" spreads and the family of Christ Jesus comes to fruition. Father's Word is not complicated when it is taught according to His Will and the hearer prays for those eyes that see and ears that hear, continuing in faithful study to show themselves approved before our Father God Almighty.

Ecclesiastes 12:10 says, "The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and [that which was] written [was] upright, [even] words of truth." There is no need to buy and receive books written by people of a religious nature. If you want "Truth" there is one "Book" and it is called the "Holy Bible (Christ Jesus)" and this is the only Authority, Father God Almighty, that is acceptable to be taught (Chapter by Chapter, Verse by Verse).

Ecclesiastes 12:11 says, "The words of the wise [are] as goads, and as nails fastened [by] the masters of assemblies, [which] are given from one shepherd." A "goad" is a "stick with a sharp nail at the end of it." It will get the attention of a stubborn animal or unruly person when driven or stuck with it since when they push back it drives into them. This is to say, a word to the wise is as a sharp point. Christ Jesus is our only "True Shepherd (our Living Word)" and He paid the price when those nails were driven through His Body for our salvation. Wisdom comes from understanding truth and "Christ Jesus, our Living Word" is the "Way, Path, Truth to the Light of Eternal Life." There is no other way.

Ecclesiastes 12:12 says, "And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books [there is] no end; and much study [is] a weariness of the flesh." Be ever so cautious and even avoid all the many books written by all those calling themselves preachers, teachers, evangelist, ministers, scholars, whatever titles they place upon themselves because they are empty words of their own imaginations. They will wear you out, make you tired, bringing about worry and confusion, teaching you absolutely nothing of the matters relating to our Father God. It is the same foolishness heard from the pulpits of most churches around this world, just as Biblically illiterate as they can be. A true teacher of Father's Word; His very elect, know there is one truth and that is "from" our Father's Word. Father loves a faithful servant and wants you to study His Word using common sense. You will not understand all things in a day, week, month or year. Take your time and study without driving yourself into weariness; however do study faithfully, nourishing your spirit just as you nourish your flesh. I believe the flesh eats every day.

Ecclesiastes 12:13 says, "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this [is] the whole [duty] of man." There is nothing complicated here, in fact, take a deep breath because Father is telling us to give what He gives; love. "Fear" means "to revere, love." Father God loves us so much He personified Himself in the Flesh through Christ Jesus and was crucified on that cross to open the door of salvation to all of humankind. There is no greater love then this. Meditate on that and loving Father God, revering Him, exalting Him, magnifying our LORD to the Highest is a duty of all humankind that should be done with the greatest of joy and pleasure. Follow the Commandments of Father God responsibly, thanking our LORD for each and every one of them. Everything Father places upon you, blessings, chastisement, instruction, guidance and direction is because of His love for His children and the necessity for "all people" to be disciplined and obey Him. When you are obedient Father will open your heart and mind to receive understanding of His Word and you become a faithful servant sharing those pearls of truth wherever they will be heard.

Ecclesiastes 12:14 says, "For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether [it be] good, or whether [it be] evil." All people shall be judged by our Father God according to their walk within their flesh bodies. All people, no exceptions. All things we do while walking in the flesh is recorded in the "Book of Life" and Father God, at the appointed time, shall open that "Book" at the time of the "Great White Throne Judgment." If you thought you had secrets, kept things from Father, you are in for a rude awakening. There will be blessings, rewards and chastisements according to what is deserved and our Father is a "Fair and Just God." Remember, the sum of the matter as we walk within our flesh bodies is to have reverence for, love and follow the Commandments of Father God since this pleases Him and leads to Eternal life. Our LORD wants all of His children with Him in the Eternity. Earn your rightful place and remember "Father God is YAHOVAH, I AM THAT I AM." "That's That (Amen)!"

Yours In Yeshua, Christ Jesus,
I Bid You Peace!~
