Ecclesiastes 11: Facing Life's Uncertainties
1. there is uncertainty in life.
ใThe phrase in verse 1, "Cast thy bread upon the waters," is a familiar one among Christians, as is the phrase in chapter 3:1, "There is a time for everything (3:1-8). However, it is one of those things that few people seem to understand correctly in its meaning. The phrase "Ask, and it will be given to you" in Matthew's Gospel is a good example of this, and I think it is one that is interpreted in a way that is convenient for us. This is because verse 1 is to be interpreted in the context of the verses that follow.
First, the first half of verse 1 and the second half of verse 1 have often been understood in a sequential manner. The traditional Jewish symbolic interpretation of the bread was that it was "good will" or "kindness," and that if you gave alms in good faith, you would be rewarded for it at an unexpected time. However, in Christian churches, especially evangelical churches, bread has often been thought of as "the gospel" and explained as if it were a guarantee that if one preached the gospel, there would be a harvest at a later date, even if there was no immediate fruit. But the conjunction connecting the first and second halves of verse 1 is a paradox, not a sequent. Verse 2 adds to this. In other words, verse 2 is talking about diversification to avoid so-called risk, because on this earth there are many uncertainties, not knowing when and what will happen at any given time. Therefore, verse 1 is not saying that if you work hard, you will get good results, but it is saying that what you do knowing that it is a complete waste of time can produce unexpected profits.
ใKonosuke Matsushita, the founder of Panasonic Holdings, said that the secret of management is to "put an umbrella when it rains," but the author of Ecclesiastes says otherwise (verses 3 and 4). In other words, to repeat the earlier statement, "every man meets his time and opportunity." In fact, as verses 5 and 6 show, once a couple gets married and begins their life as husband and wife, it may be natural for some couples to be blessed with children, while for others, it may be difficult to have children, even though they have tried everything with the strong desire to do so. The author says that having a child is just like knowing the way of the wind, something beyond human power and understanding, a work of God. Therefore, do not be enthusiastic about exploring the laws of success or non-success, but just try this and that. There is an element of gamble in life, he says. When he says it so simply, there are those who think it's a waste of time, and there are those who feel relieved.
2๏ผLet's conclude now.
ใAnyway, from verse 7, the evangelist begins to conclude. First, he says that as long as the life given to us lasts, we should enjoy it. In other words, basically, man should "walk in the way he thinks and in the sight of his own eyes" (v. 9). However, things often do not go as one plans or desires, and above all, one should be mindful of the fact that God is watching one's life closely.
The author honestly acknowledges that life is not always as one would like it to be. However, the author acknowledges the existence of God, but does not consider His love. This may be a major difference from the apostle Paul in the New Testament era, who fully affirms life. In other words, the author's in-depth contemplation shows us how uncertain and threatening it is for human beings to live the life of this world without a deep experience of God's forgiveness and grace in Christ. I wish you a good day today.
<Quiz Corner
First, yesterday's quiz. Which of the following ports did Solomon set up a new fleet of ships to trade in the south? (1) Caesarea in the Mediterranean Sea, (2) Turo in the Mediterranean Sea, and (3) Etzion-Gebel in the Gulf of Aqaba. The answer was (2) Etzion Gebel in the Gulf of Aqaba. It is believed that the fleet from there was used to trade with Ophir in the south. Also, in the Mediterranean area, they traded with Tarshish via Turo. Now for today's Bible quiz. How many times larger was the Temple built by Solomon than the Tent Sanctuary that preceded it? (1) twice, (2) four times, and (3) six times. The answer will be given tomorrow. I pray that today will be another good day.
