The Disturbing But Surprising Wisdom of Ecclesiastes [Animated Explainer]

Thank God for sending to us many godly and faithful people and giving us your Word .❤❤🙏✝️Hallelujah , Hallelujah❤❤❤

I think the phrase "comforting to the disturbed and disturbing to the comforted" applies to Ecclesiastes pretty well.

I don't like the fact Eclesiastes is smoking 😊

Ridiculous! Life is so grandly beautiful — well worth the living!

<3

Kudos on separating the author from the critic Alas You couldn't be more profoundly misinterpreting the wisdom in ecclesiastes.

I find it astounding how much biblical wisdom is found in the philosophy of stoicism.

This is by FAR my favorite video that you all have ever done!!! Love the visual images, representation, imagery, and commentary. These things have truly captured the heart of this book. Grateful for this!!!

Amazing job on this project!

The wisdom is that understanding that Solomon wasn’t the wisest man of all time. Too many wives…

Love from India 😊

This is probably my favorite in the wisdom series, next is Job then Proverbs.

Great work on the animations 🔥

We only want to be remembered because our minds can not comprehend what death means as it never experienced it to remember.
All living beings want to be remembered for a singular reason of being taken care of by the pack.
We don't need to care about needs when we are dead. We simply cease to be.
Therefore, it is highly illogical to desire being remembered after death.

Not disturbing. It's freeing. There's a difference.

Then and how come people be mean then. What I just do. Sounds familiar

The critic's observations include:
1. The insignificance of human existence in the cosmic scale
2. The inevitability of death for all
3. The unpredictable, random nature of life

- Despite the bleak outlook, the critic suggests that people should focus on enjoying the present moment and trust that life has meaning, ultimately fearing the Lord and keeping His commandments.

Thank you

A few things I noticed about this video and the other one I watched.
1st the word universe is not used in the bible and there is a reason for that->
2nd. The earth is FLAT. do a THOROUGH video on the creation you'll see its flat. and also the other scriptures that speaks of flat earth (earth wrapped as a SCROLL, PILLARS and foundation of the earth, ENDS of the earth, earth is His FOOTSTOOL, the CIRCLE of the earth, VEIL over the earth lifted and ALL flesh shall see him coming AT THE SAME TIME, book of enoch chapters 70-90 ALL describe flat earth, windows of heaven (firmament) opened, water UNDER THE EARTH, kolob(gods sun) ROTATES around God's throne-as above so below, etc.)
3rd-not everything of Job's was doubled. Read carefully. Write it down and do the math. His family on EARTH was not doubled. But there is a religion the teaches "ETERNAL FAMILIES" (the Mormons) you will see this is a correct doctrine. The family that was given to Job, because he was righteous, will always be sealed His both on earth and in Heaven and he will be the righteous patriarch of His Family into the eternities. If it was not so then God either is a liar (which He is not) or he for some reason He short changed Job (which he didnt) on the very thing that meant the very most to him-HIS FAMILY.
because of Jesus-FAMILIES EXIST IN HEAVEN-it says so in the your very Bible. "The righteous shall have "ENDLESS POSTERITY" and the wicked shall be left without root or branch(no family tree) under Christ, of which the whole family of HEAVEN and EARTH is named..", "the FATHER and THE SON (family relationship right there)
Again do the math. Re-read the very first and the very last chapters of Job. 7th

I loved Ecclesiastes

Don’t need the bullshit-book to know these things. You only need to use common sense. Grow up… there is no higher power

the reason why i ask.. why is there life when there should be none.. but that question only lead me to become an unbeliever of God.. i became unfaithful to Him the creator.. hope God forgive me for i am lacking in wisdom

im not religious but this was a really nicely executed video.

what exactly does it mean to fear the lord? the way i was taught was that God loves all of us an that we should be not afraid, in the garden God asked them why they were hiding so it doesnt feel like fear is the default for humans nor does it make sense to me to fear someone who loves us

It would be interesting to me to see how you views the apocrypha texts as to their validity especially Enoch. I did read the maccabees and this did give me some insight as to the back story behind the observation of Hannukah as a return to True worship in the ancient Israel in Midst of an opposing culture and religious persecution an the drive to secularize / corrupt true worship.

Ecclesiastes is when the wisest man on the earth gets depressed.

Thats true that we are going to the same place but some things dont work like that

Just read the first chapter, it's but an old person(s) rambling about their limited experiences and false generalisations.
Living in fear ruins your life and makes you a tool in the hands of your manipulators. This is the stupidity of the worst kind!

The only purpose of life is worshipping god .and god is one not trillion

It may be my favorite book. Ecclesiastes teaches disinterested piety, aka piety (fear of God) for piety's sake, humility, and contentment. There has always been an obsession among the religious with worship as quid pro quo. If I do X for God, God will do Y for me. It's human nature. It's a huge problem in Christianity. Believe or perish! But I've always had a strong sense that if you're in it to seek reward or to gain punishment, that just doesn't quite work.

Trust and obey because God is real, He is God, and He is good, and He loves you. That's reason enough.

Yes. God doesn t exist, there Is nothing After death and everything happen to you Is Just random

Peagan interpretation of the book

It speaks of things " under the Heaven " basically you can open, and then condense this premise in to: Life without God/after live is meaningless

Definitely the people who are dead they dont have no knowledge anymore

The earth is flat, Biblical cosmology do not lie.

What about the other 322 gospels?

Are we going to talk about the updated Bible aka the Quran?

Bradley Martyn can beat all of them because he weighs 260lbs

So so sooo beautiful! 🎉🎉

Meaningless is the English transliteration. Vain may be accurate. We all have to die sooner or later. We are here temporarily. Nothing is forever, not even diamond you may own. We think too much of ourselves. Awe, humility, and moderation, getting rid of bad ego is the way to go. Yet, when you die, all is vain.

It's so nice to rewatch this. As someone who is worrying about something I can do nothing about until tomorrow, Ecc. helps in calming me down.

Second suggested video about how my life is meaningless today. Lol

Damn, I have no words

"Know ye that true wisdom is to fear God, to know Him, and to recognize His Manifestations [Divine Messengers]. This wisdom, however, can be attained only by those who detach themselves from the world, and who walk in the ways of the good pleasure of their Lord."

Bahá’u’lláh, The Summons of the Lord of Hosts, p. 234-235

Thank you guys, I love your content. The animations are amazing, I would love to learn do things like that, do you guys use After Effects ?

So a stoic?

Wow. Love your explainations. Praise the Lord ❤🙏

Have you ever told a lie, taken something that did not belong to you, or coveted someone else’s possessions? What about hating another person or harboring lustful thoughts? When we are honest, each of us will admit to having done wrong things.

Our wrong motives and actions—even ones that seem small and insignificant—condemn us as sinners: those who have missed the mark of God’s holiness. Because of sin, each of us is justly sentenced to eternal separation from God. In this place of desperate need, God invites us to come to Him and receive His gift of salvation.

The Human Problem
Mankind has consistently resisted and disobeyed God’s Law. We have believed Satan’s lies and rebelled against loving God with all that we are. Being holy and just, God will not tolerate our sin. “Your iniquities [perversity, moral evil] have separated between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you, that he will not hear” (Isaiah 59:2).

God holds every person responsible for his every thought, word, and action. When we do what is wrong, “the wages [earned reward] of sin is death. . .” (Romans 6:23). Our sin condemns us to eternal separation from God and perpetual suffering in hell. (See Matthew 13:49–50 and Revelation 21:8.)

God holds every person responsible for his every thought, word, and action.

Our efforts to make amends for the wrongs we have done cannot reverse the just judgment of God. Even those who are religious, morally upright, and do good works cannot fulfill God’s requirement of perfect righteousness. “There is none righteous, no, not one. . . . For all have sinned, and come short of [failed to meet the excellence of] the glory of God” (Romans 3:10, 23).

Divine Redemption
Along with being holy and just, God is merciful and loving. He designed the human race to know Him and to bring glory to Him. We failed to fulfill this great purpose and instead became slaves to sin—but God orchestrated a plan for our redemption. He provided a Savior Who can deliver us from sin and restore our relationship and fellowship with God.

God the Father sent His Eternal Son, Jesus Christ, into the world to be born as a man to fulfill this mission. Jesus lived a perfect, sinless life in complete obedience to God. He willingly took upon Himself the fury of His Father’s wrath against our sin; He suffered and died in our place.

After Jesus’ death and burial, God raised Him from the dead, thus proclaiming Jesus’ divinity and validating His sacrifice in our place. (See Romans 1:1–4.) “God was in Christ, reconciling the world unto himself, not imputing [taking an inventory of] their trespasses unto them. . . .For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him” (II Corinthians 5:19, 21).

The Gospel of Jesus Christ
In the Bible, many verses explain what God did through His love for us. Below are several references telling the “Good News” of salvation through Jesus Christ.

“The wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
“For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved” (John 3:16–17).
“God commended his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us” (Romans 5:8).
“The kindness and love of God our Savior toward man appeared, Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost; Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior” (Titus 3:4–6).
When we believe on Jesus Christ, accepting God’s gift of salvation, we are justified (declared free of the guilt and penalty of sin) before God because of what Jesus has done. God forgives us of all of our sins. Our relationship with God is restored; we become His children. (See I John 3:8–10.) We are redeemed from the bondage to sin and will spend eternity in Heaven with God. (See Romans 6:22.)

The Holy Spirit, the third Person of the Godhead, dwells in each believer. “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (I Corinthians 3:16). He is “the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father. The Spirit itself bears witness with our spirit, that we are the children of God: And if children, then heirs; heirs of God, and joint-heirs with Christ . . .” (Romans 8:15–17). “But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his” (Romans 8:9).

Accepting God’s Gift of Salvation
To receive the redemption God provided for all of us through Jesus Christ, believe the truth. Turn to God. According to the Bible, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved” (Acts 16:31). “Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out” (Acts 3:19). “Whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21).

Does that sound too simple to be true? God’s truth is simple! You can believe in Him. Humble yourself as a little child and admit your need for God. (See Mark 10:15.) Turn away from your sin. Come to Jesus. He beckons to you with open arms. He has already purchased your salvation—will you now receive it as a gift from Him? “Being justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ: By whom also we have access by faith into this grace wherein we stand, and rejoice in hope of the glory of God” (Romans 5:1–2).
