Blake's Thoughts

Well, i read Ecclesiasties and was i dsapointed…..

I dont understand why the author says what he says.  To the original audience, what did they understand?  They had no view of the afterlife, concluding that life was here an now only.  For this reasons, i dont understand Ecclesiastics and, in away, view it useless unless read in a conical context.

The author argues that everything is meaningless because in the end it all goes away .  Theres no reason for wealth or fame or talent because they will fade away.   The only true ting (meaningful thing) is a relationship with God.  Yet to me, a relationship with God (if life only exists till death) is also manginess and should be put into the same category as wealth or fame.

Reading Ecclesiastes by itself is like watching a 3d movies without the proper 3d glasses

If we read Ecclesiastes through the lens of scripture then the truth is finally reviled.
