Ecclesiastes 6

Jesus was called teacher. Abraham, Moses, and Jesus were all teaching the people The Way of God and His righteousness. Review: Chapter 1: Vanity is empty and all things that are empty remain empty. Chapter 2: The "fool walketh in darkness" which leads to a "vexation of spirit" and asks shall we be "a wise man or a fool?" Shall a "soul enjoy good in his labour" or another "man that hath not laboured therein"? By to Chapter 3: Addressing "wickedness was there; and ... iniquity" we see it repeated that everyman's labor belongs to himself by the endowment of God. The question is asked what is the spirit that leads a man upward, and the spirit that goeth downwardwhich brings man down to dust. The warning in Chapter 4 is that if a man cares only for himself or chooses to oppress others" he may become a "fool who foldeth his hands together, and ends up where he eateth his own flesh. Chapter 5: Beginning with the sacrifice of fools, careful with your foot and the "rash... mouth" and you should "not vow" so that you can enjoy your labour as God intended. But a man can covet the "riches kept for the owners thereof to their hurt" which is evil^[1] common among men. https://www.hisholychurch.org/audio/20230624ecclesiastes6gathering.mp3 Download Recording which includes Ecclesiastes 6 and Why a Network?

V2 Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary says, "A man often has all he needs for outward enjoyment; yet the Lord leaves him so to covetousness or evil dispositions, that he makes no good or comfortable use of what he has. By one means or other his possessions come to strangers..." The common evil is the covetous practices that are empty of righteousness and are idolatry.^[2] The greed for gain who consent to one purse

V3-4 If your house is full but your soul is empty/vanities you will be "covered in darkness". "not filled with good"
V7 The riches will not satisfy.
V9 Better to see the whole truth and provide for it than pursue the desires of the beast.
V9 You cannot defeat the Pharaohs of the world but if you repent and seek the Kingdom of God and His righteousness God will part the sea and fight the battle and set the captive free. This is the Song of Moses.
The Dragon shall not prevail and the serpent's head will be crushed by the bride.^[3]

Common evil disease

1 ¶ There is an evil^[1] which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

2 A man to whom God hath given riches, wealth, and honour, so that he wanteth nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but a stranger eateth it: this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

3 If a man beget an hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years be many, and his soul be not filled with good, and also that he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.

4 For he cometh in with vanity, and departeth in darkness, and his name shall be covered with darkness.

5 Moreover he hath not seen the sun, nor known any thing: this hath more rest than the other.

6 Yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, yet hath he seen no good: do not all go to one place?

7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

Not full filled

8 For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

9 Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this is also vanity and vexation of spirit.

10 That which hath been is named already, and it is known that it is man: neither may he contend with him that is mightier than he.

Increase vanity

11 Seeing there be many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

12 For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

Covetousness is idolatry
Colossians 3:5 "Mortify therefore your members which are upon the earth; fornication, uncleanness, inordinate affection, evil concupiscence, and covetousness, which is idolatry: 6 For which things’ sake the wrath of God cometh on the children of disobedience:"

Ephesians 5:5 "For this ye know, that no whoremonger, nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, hath any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and of God."

1 Corinthians 5:10 "Yet not altogether with the fornicators of this world, or with the covetous, or extortioners, or with idolaters; for then must ye needs go out of the world. 11 But now I have written unto you not to keep company, if any man that is called a brother be a fornicator, or covetous, or an idolater, or a railer, or a drunkard, or an extortioner; with such an one no not to eat."
- For it is written that the tables of dainties provided by rulers of the world are a snare because they cause the masses to bite one another through government systems of legal charity which are covetous practices which are a form of fornication or adultery where the people are devoured as merchandise, curse children and are "entangled again in the yoke of bondage" with the aid of the false religion of the whore who rides the beast.
↑ Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.
