CHAPTER

Ecclesiastes 9:2-10 is where the preacher first began his study of the Bible. In this chapter, we are just lamenting death - that's it. We're not establishing that there's no hope for those in the next life. This is simply a recognition that death ends life on this side of it. But if we can understand that this life is not all we get, then it changes everything. It gives him some hope for things beyond this life, but meaning within this life.
