Ecclesiastes 3:11 is quite different in Rotherham, Young and J.P. Green's Interlinear:
Everything, hath he made beautiful in its own time,—also, intelligence, hath he put in their heart, without which men could not find out the work which God hath wrought, from the beginning even unto the end. (Ecclesiastes 3:11 Rotherham)
The whole He hath made beautiful in its season; also, that knowledge He hath put in their heart without which man findeth not out the work that God hath done from the beginning even unto the end.
(Ecclesiastes 3:11 YLT)
H3605{Everything} H6213{He has made} H3303{beautiful} H6256{in its time}. H1571{Also}
H5769{eternity} H5414{He has set} H3820{in their heart} H1097{without} H834{which} H3808{not}
H4672{can find out} H120{man} H4639{the work} H6213{that makes} H430{God} H7218{from the beginning}. (J.P. Green Interlinear)
It is interesting how all three include the "without which" which to me means something is given.

Hi Mark,
Good point that you bring up here, what do you think that "something" is that is given? The beginning and the end, the Alpha and the Omega? What or should I say Who is the Light which illuminates the darkness?
2Co 4:6 For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
In His time any and all confusion will be replaced with the understanding that only comes with a revelation from one Source;
Isa 59:9 Therefore is judgment far from us, neither doth justice overtake us: we wait for light, but behold obscurity; for brightness, but we walk in darkness.
Before we come to a true knowledge of Christ, especially the Spirit of Christ and the Kingdom within we are stumbling around like a blind man in unfamiliar surroundings. Would he not be confused, nothing is moving around, all is in place and set up perfectly, everything would make perfect sense if only he had eyes to see.
This most certainly holds true as Arcturus brought up early in this thread, the darkness we wander in is not illuminated by the guides of Babylon;
Rom 2:19 And art confident that thou thyself art a guide of the blind, a light of them which are in darkness,
Rom 2:20 An instructor of the foolish, a teacher of babes, which hast the form of knowledge and of the truth in the law.
Only Christ can open our eyes and ears, showing us the Light which is Him. He does it in His own time and in every man's season.
I had a very interesting and enlightening conversation with a dear Brother in regard to this subject just recently, coincidence?
His Peace and Wisdom to you,
Joe

You know I know better than that Joe ;D. This whole darned thread has got Spirit in it for sure. I love it when God does this. Thank you all, I had a few things "click" today.

Chris R:
You all bring out very good points, I thought i might add a few verses that seem to enlighten me a bit.
Take a look at how this delusion was established in early man.
Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. [Ecc 8:11]
MAN WAS WARNED: "Ye shall therefore keep all my statutes, and all my judgments, and DO THEM : that the land, whither I bring you to dwell therein, spue you not out. [Lev 20:22]
BUT MAN DID NOT: But the house of Israel rebelled against me in the wilderness: they walked NOT in my statutes, and they despised my judgments, [Eze 20:13]
GOD KNEW ISRAEL COULD NOT KEEP HIS LAWS OR JUDGMENTS!
So now we have a dilemma, Because sentence WAS NOT carried out speedily, the heart of the SONS of man are ALREADY set in them to do Evil! And from this enigma, there can be NO RETURN, it is done, it cannot be undone!until Christ returns.
WHY?, Because the whole head is SICK!! EXECUTIVE, LEGISLATIVE AND JUDICIAL.
"Why should ye be stricken any more? ye will revolt more and more: the whole head is sick, and the whole heart faint. From the sole of the foot even unto the head [there is] no soundness in it;" [Isa 1:5-6]
This however is only temporary, God sends this delusion, for a specified time, and then, when the judgments are in the earth, the WORLD will learn righteousness. [Isa 26:9]
Peace

Deborah-Leigh:
Thank you for that perspective Chris.
In other words there are NO redeeming characteristics of the beast. The beast and the world systems are corrupt and are sick getting sicker.
Our Hope is the Son of God.
Peace be to you
Arcturus :)
