Bible Question: What is Ecclesiastes in general? Are there any key elements which make up this book? |
Bible Answer: Matthew Henry and Andrew Fausset and I believe; "a time to be born, a time to die"; refers to the birth and death of Israel. See: 3.2. This agrees with other prophecies of Israel's death. See: Isa 65.17, Joel 2.31; Mt 24.29. The resurrection (3.21) and New Jerusalem (12.6) are also alluded to. sid |
