The Intriguing Old Testament Book Of Ecclesiastes

Ecclesiastes 5:1-2, “Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God, and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they consider not that they do evil. Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thine heart be hasty to utter any thing before God: for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.”

I just wanted to share some thoughts on a few passages I heard today. I was listening to Alexander Scourby read the book of Ecclesiastes. ...

Few pastors seem to take THE TRUTH seriously anymore. When I see a church and pastor with multiple Bible versions being used in their group, I am amazed how they can go along with such confusion and utter nonsense. I mean, 1st Corinthians 14:33 plainly teaches that God is NOT the author of confusion. Does anybody actually think that God wants us to have more than one version of the Bible to use? No way! It is confusing to have many Bibles.

It is sickening to visit the average church today, especially Baptist churches! The world's music has come into so many churches today. More than ever, women are preaching from the pulpit, which is a sin. All women pastors are false prophets! Most of them are false PROFITesses like Joyce Meyer! She makes me sick! The churches have become apostate, pathetic, mere businesses today!

For the past 8 years I have been under Satanic attack—not from the world, the Devil or the flesh—but from bad pastors of Baptist churches! I have been under demonic attack from alumni pastors of Pensacola Christian College! I have been under demonic attack from alumni pastors of Bob Jones University! What was my great crime? I TOLD THE TRUTH! I told the truth that the Westcott and Hort Bible revisions are all corrupted by Satan. I told the truth that Lordship Salvation is a lie of the Devil, another gospel which cannot produce the new birth. The truth that Martin Luther (1483-1546) is burning in Hell today, because he trusted in and preached the heresy of Baptismal Regeneration his entire life. Truth is stranger than fiction. 

The Bible says it is better to hear the rebuke of a wise man (like me, humbly said), than to listen to the song of fools like Pastor Jeff Redlin at PCC...

Ecclesiastes 7:1-5, “A good name is better than precious ointment; and the day of death than the day of one's birth. It is better to go to the house of mourning, than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.  Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better. The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.  It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.”

Pastor Jeff Redlin can preach a sugar-coated sermon very well; but he won't preach THE TRUTH as I am doing, against the rotten, Satanic, Calvinist-preaching, infidel, Bob Jones University (BJU) camp today! Somebody's got to preach THE TRUTH with authority, or the world will go to Hell! Somebody's got to care! Somebody's got to expose the Devil's counterfeit Bible revisions., Somebody's got to expose the Devil's heresy of Lordship Salvation. Somebody's got to expose the Devil's lie of misunderstood repentance (i.e., the “turn away from your sin” to be saved heresy). Bless God, I am preaching THE TRUTH!!!

I love the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes, it is so full of wisdom from a secular perspective. Solomon was the wisest man who ever lived, as far as worldly wisdom goes, but the old boy sure was a dumb fella as far as obeying God throughout most of his life. Solomon's heart departed from the Lord for much of his reign. Thankfully, in this tremendous book of the Bible, in his old age, King Solomon tells us what he has learned as the man who had it all, yet hated his own life (Ecclesiastes 2:17). In the following passage, the wisest man who ever lived admits that at times he couldn't find any wisdom. In other words, there were problems that even Solomon in all his God-given wisdom couldn't solve, because some things wisdom cannot fix, like evil and madness in the world. Essentially, Solomon realized that he was not God:

Ecclesiastes 7:21-26, “Also take no heed unto all words that are spoken; lest thou hear thy servant curse thee: For oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others. All this have I proved by wisdom: I said, I will be wise; but it was far from me. That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out? I applied mine heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and the reason of things, and to know the wickedness of folly, even of foolishness and madness: And I find more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and her hands as bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.”

I think it is obvious from the preceding words of Solomon, that among his 700 wives and 300 concubines (substitute wives), he had family issues...lol. I can't even imagine the fights that erupted like volcanoes between all his 700 wives! Can you imagine the jealousy, anger, fluctuating hormones during their time of month, and malice toward each other? Hey, Solomon himself said that he found more bitter than death, the woman! In chapter 7 of Ecclesiastes Solomon said that among 1,000 men, he only found one that feared God; but among 1,000 women, he found NONE. My humble opinion is that Solomon married the wrong types of women. They were pretty, smart, charming and worldly, but I doubt if any of them truly loved the Lord. I think it is safe to say that King Solomon was a perverse man addicted to flesh. It is also my strong opinion that Solomon suffered from STD's in his old age (Proverbs 5:11), as did his father David (Psalms 38:5). Penicillin wasn't discovered until 1939.

What godly woman would want to marry a man with hundreds of wives? We see this truth bared out in the book of the Song of Solomon. In this classic poetic Old Testament book, Solomon is trying to seduce the young Shulamite girl, but she is already betrothed (engaged) to her shepherd boy. This is a picture of the Devil trying to seduce the child of God, but we are already taken. We belong to Christ, our Great Shepherd. Solomon may have had 1,000 lovers, but it is also very likely that Solomon never had one great true love! How sad?

I have never heard this taught, but it makes sense to me that Solomon wrote the book of Proverbs to his thousands of children. Solomon had 700 wives. He had 300 concubines. How many children do you think he had? Likely THOUSANDS!!! Then again, Solomon permitted his heathen wives that he foolishly married, to worship false gods in high places, where children were sacrificed to Baal and Moloch. So we really don't know how many children Solomon had. The Bible only mentions three. I have a horrible feeling that those children were all murdered by some form of abortion. We simply do not know, so where the Bible is silent it is best to be silent. It is okay to have an opinion, just so long as we are not dogmatic about what we simply don't know.

I love this Bible verse:

Ecclesiastes 8:1, “Who is as the wise man?  and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing?  a man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the boldness of his face shall be changed.”

I love this photo of Evangelist Billy Sunday (1862-1935), which reminds me of what we just read in the Bible...

Jesus Makes The Difference!!!

I encourage you to listen to Alexander Scourby read the King James Bible, as it will help you to grow...

Read you Bible, pray every day, pray every day;
Read you Bible, pray every day;
And you'll grow, grow, grow;
And you'll grow, grow, grow;
Read you Bible, pray every day;
And you'll grow, grow, grow:

Neglect you Bible, forget to pray, forget to pray;
Neglect you Bible, forget to pray;
And you'll shrink, shrink, shrink;
And you'll shrink, shrink, shrink;
Neglect you Bible, forget to pray;
And you'll shrink, shrink, shrink;

The saying is true that: Everything I need to know in life I learned in kindergarten.

Ecclesiastes 7:9-10, “Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these?  for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.”

We live in an angry society today in America. Many people are upset, sensitive and short fused to get angry. That is why I avoid the daily news. I have no idea what is going on over in Ukraine and I don't care. I live in the United States! It's not our job as Americans to police the world. We cannot even help our homeless to get off the streets across America. Blaming drugs, mental illness and laziness are just lame excuses to do nothing! The biggest problem is a woeful lack of affordable housing in America's cities. The more funny money (fake fiat money) that the criminal Federal Reserve Banks print and lend to stupid Americans, the less our money is worth! That is why housing costs have skyrocketed!!! Our U.S. dollar has lost over 80% of its value since 1970! Americans are slaves and don't even realize it! But don't take my word for it, listen to what our wise founder father, Thomas Jefferson warned:

“If the American people ever allow private banks to control the issue of their currency, first by inflation and then by deflation, the banks and corporations that will grow up around them will deprive the people of all property until their children wake up homeless on the continent their fathers conquered.” —Thomas Jefferson, a quote from 1816.

Now you know why homelessness is such a big problem all across the United States today, and also in U.S. Territories like Guam. Unless you are rich, you cannot buy a home or even afford to pay rent without government housing assistance. Since 1913 the American people have been ROBBED by the private banks who took control over our money, with the rotten permission of our own elected leaders who were sworn to protect us! It is TREASON!!!

In case you don't know, our money in America is not worth what it's actually worth, it's worth what the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank families decide it should be worth. Starting to get the picture? They control the value of our currency by tampering with interest rates and the rate at which they print more money. So by regulating the flow of money in and out of society, they effectively are playing God with our lives. As with rotten gambling casinos, the house always wins! The American people are the losers. It's kind of like a children's game of Musical Chairs, someone always ends up without a chair. Say hello to America's millions of homeless citizens!!!

Again, we read in Ecclesiastes 7:10, “Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these?  for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.” Life is what happens to you while making big plans! Proverbs 27:1 warns not to boast of anything, because we don't know what each day may bring. You and I could be in a wheelchair crippled tomorrow! We could be dead, or worse. I don't fear dying, I fear being at the mercy of cruel people. So did David in the Old Testament. That is why when God gave him three options for punishment for numbering the people in his kingdom, David chose Dealer's Choice at the mercy of God. The other choices were 3 years of famine or 3 months of war. David chose 3 days of the Sword Of The Lord. It was a Pot Luck choice, because David had no idea of what God would do, he just trusted his good God more than cruel men. Consequently, 70,000 Israelites were killed, which broke David's heart. The people paid for David's sin. I believe God was trying to teach David that everything rises and falls on leadership.

Likewise, these incompetent pastors today, who sinfully take the things of God lightly, are guilty. It mad me sad that Pastor Jeff Redlin of Campus Church at Pensacola Christian College (PCC), took the sides of Bob Jones University's (BJU) wicked pastor today who preach Calvinism. Redlin horribly rebuked me for exposing false Bibles, false prophets, false churches and for REBUKING THEM SHAPLY as the Bible commands us to do (Titus 1:10-14). Sadly, PCC is mostly about making money today, and contending for the Christian faith is not even on their list of priorities. Pastor Redlin should have either commended me for my faithful work to contend for the faith, or he should have kept his ignorant mouth shut!

Unfortunately, in the summer of 2021 Pastor Redlin horribly berated and falsely accused me of “finding weaknesses in preachers.” No, THE TRUTH is that I am exposing WICKEDNESS as he should also be doing, instead of bidding Godspeed to the corrupt Bob Jones camp today as Jeff Redlin sinfully does (2nd John 1:11). The word “I-chabod” is written over the entrance of Campus Church and Pensacola Christian College. That is, the glory of the Lord has departed!!! To God alone be the glory for this blog, I am contending for the Christian faith.
