THE FUTILITY OF HUMAN DESTINATION

ISAIAH 6:1 –END

ECCLESIASTES 12:1-END

ECCLESIASTES 1:1-END

Just as I said earlier that life outside Christ ends in crises. And life outside Christ is futility to the highest point because everything ends in death which is the physical final destination of mankind:

ECCLESIASTES 12:7

(7)       “Then the dust returns to the earth, just as it was

            And the spirit returns to the true God who gave it”

(8)       The greatest futility says the congregator. Everything

            Is futile”

Death is the final destination of every living thing. That is why life outside Christ ends up in Crises. Christ remains the solution to futility of destination because when you have acquired the whole world and lose Christ you don’t have hope of existence in eternity. But when you receive Christ and lose or gain the world; provided you have Christ, your destination cannot be futile. So every futility is based on worldly acquisition of wealth; not for those in Christ.

ECCLESIATES 2:3-11

(3)       “I explored with my heart by indulging myself with wine

            All the while maintaining my own wisdom: I even

embraced foolishness to find out what was the best

thing for humans to do during their few days of life

under the heavens

(4)       I undertook great works, I built houses for myself;

            I planted vineyards for myself

(5)       I made gardens and parks for myself, and I planted

            In them all sorts of fruit trees

(6)       I made pools of water for myself, to irrigate a group

            Flourishing trees

(7)       I acquired male and female servants, and I had

            servants born in my household. I also acquired

            much livestock – cattle and flocks – more than

            any of predecessors in Jerusalem.

(8)       I accumulated silver and gold for myself, the

treasures of Kings and of provinces; I gathered male

and females singers for myself as well as what brings

great pleasure to the sons of men -  a woman, yes,

many women

(9)       So I grew great and surpassed anyone prior to me

            In Jerusalem. And wisdom remained with me

(10)     I did not deny myself anything that I desired. I did

            not withhold from my heart any sorts of pleasure,

            for my heart was joyful because of all my hard work

            and this was my reward for all my hard work

(11)     But when I reflected on all the works that my own

            Hands had done and on all the hard work that I had

            toiled  to accomplish. I saw that everything was futile,

            a chasing after the wind, there was nothing of real

value under the Sun”

Physical death outside Christ means futility of life. But physical death in Christ is not futility but change of residence from physical domain to spiritual domain. Remained blessed.
