Divine Timing "Under the Sun" | Ecclesiastes 3:1-8 | Week 10
This morning, we will look at one of the most famous, most quoted poems in all of the Bible. Solomon is going to use a poetic device known as merism, which is a device used to represent a comprehensive whole. In this poem, Solomon uses 14 pairs of opposites to represent the “whole” of experiences of life under the sun. Solomon does this to argue that even when the individual scenes of our lives do not make sense, God still has a plan according to His timing, AND that God still designs enjoyment, meaning, and purpose for us in this life.
