Ecclesiaties, the book on pointlessness was the first book the got my attention toward the living God of the Bible. What a wonderful taeching that beings clarity, wisdom, love and meaning together.
My solo reading of the Bible particularly in Ecclesiates, was fruitless until coming across the teaching of David Pawson. We are so blessed to have his teaching available to repeatedly review to make our reading of the Scripture overflowing with fruit so that when we are finally saved, we'll not be shy to meet such as he. So thankful.
In the first chapter I found secular humanism in ecclesiastes ... Solomon was ahead in time than his atheist theorist. I started reading this book while I was down and out, Luckily I went to wenesday bible study before proceeding. We sang "I must tell Jesus" and my spirit was so lifted and able to get out the ditch I was stuck. Thank You LORD for your people and the song you sent for me after I cried to you in frustration.
God Bless David Pawson. In a world full of false doctrines I found stability in The Word of G-d and then found David's teachings which brought the Bible alive to me. Thank You Yeshua HaMashiach
Great job. Very good overview of Ecclesiastes bringing out the main points. The testimony of Solomon that life without God is empty and pointless and that we should fear God and obey Him.
Wow, this is really good teaching. Most folks on RUclips butcher Ecclesiastes because it makes them feel so awkward, but David seems to take the inspired text seriously and humbly. Thanks.
What’s really eye-opening about this talk is how stuck in a box even the best of Christians actually are, and unable to think in any other, deeper way. ‘Everything is vanity’ is remarkably similar to the ‘everything is suffering’ of Buddhism, and far from being pessimistic, it points to the way to finding true fulfilment, which involves calming the spirit, quietening the voices that provide a running commentary in our heads, discovering humility (and I say discovering rather than adopting because it is not as easy as to simply decide to be humble), and acquiring the ability to let go the things that we cannot control. Everything else is a stressful running around like a headless chicken, and that includes much of what goes on in modern Christian practice. Peace
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity. Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment. Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity. Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them; While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain: In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened, And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low; Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets: Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern. Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it. Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity. And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs. The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth. The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd. And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
I’m so enjoying this series. I disagree on a few points he makes but I know it’s just something someone taught him that is off. But his biblical knowledge is fabulous otherwise
Hi Ray This is Steve on behalf of David. David is now 89 years of age and has struggled with his health for some years now. He is currently in full time Nursing Care and no longer well enough to be able to speak in public. He has served well and his Teachings and words will live long after his time on this earth
Thankyou for the update . I too am in residential care . I hope and pray he is comfortable. And i hope he knows just how much he is valued . I am so blessed to have found his teaching , a few years ago.Please can you convey this to him and my blessings . K
Hi Isaac this is Steve: David left Guildford in 1980. He was actively teaching until last year but now, at 88 years young he has been struggling with his health in recent months. Sadly he currently has no speaking engagements in the diary
I still have difficulty appreciating our future demise due to illness or tragedy , just because God has decided it will be for our blessing and character building. This is the problem with religion and theism; being thankful for destruction. How? What sort of ideology is this?
That view is blaming God for everything that goes wrong - when God or a belief and faith in God brings hope for the future Why do our bodies age - why do we suffer with illness ........ because God has decided it will be for our blessing ? - our bodies age because the the natural process of cell reproduction - cell reproduction reproduces flaws and the older we get the more flaws are reproduced we cal it aging or even Cancer - I cannot personally blame God for years of abuse to my body It was not always that way - what God created was Good .........it was because man disobeyed God that sin, corruption came into creation God does not want us to suffer - its sin and the penalty of sin which results in death, but God provided us with a way out a better future , by his only Son - Jesus to pay the price for our sins .....t hat we may have life and life eternal Im not tankful for destruction - I am thankful because I have a hope of a better future - which you can have as well
I understand from the Bible Project that the word translated 'vanity' means literally 'smoke' or 'vapour'. This gives a different feeling to the phrase. Perhaps 'futile' is an acceptable synonym.
"Life is long enough to live out God's purpose but it's too short to waste a moment." - David Pawsons father
David Pawson had true spiritual discernment. Wonderful review as always
I can't get enough of your teachings. I'm honoured to be one of your students in 2022.

I feel exactly the same way
It's one of my fav books. Bible project here on RUclips brought insight first. Then I read it now I'm here. All in good time.
Great job. Very good overview of Ecclesiastes bringing out the main points. The testimony of Solomon that life without God is empty and pointless and that we should fear God and obey Him.
Thank you for your interpretation of the Bible it helps me to get the full benefits of understanding how beautiful it is
I love the way David Pawson and Paul Washer teaching
Wow, this is really good teaching. Most folks on RUclips butcher Ecclesiastes because it makes them feel so awkward, but David seems to take the inspired text seriously and humbly. Thanks.
You will be able to say that David . Unfortunately s many of us wont . You have been serving God all the time . God bless you ( and He will.) K
Ecclesiastes my favorite book of all time
Thank you and thanks be to God for your wonderful teaching.
Thank you Jesus for David Pawson!
Sorry to hear about his health . God will heal him and strengthen him.
very wise man full of the holy spirit
Ecclesiastes was gifted by God

GOD WILL ONLY DO WHAT IS RIGHT
Am I fearing for the shearing, when I stand b4 the Throne; will the wool that Jesus sees, be purest white or hardest stone?
Remember God. Fear God. Obey God.
*27:45** This reading from Ecclesiastes is so much more powerful and poetic in the more faithful English of the King James Bible.*
Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun:
But if a man live many years, and rejoice in them all; yet let him remember the days of darkness; for they shall be many. All that cometh is vanity.
Rejoice, O young man, in thy youth; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youth, and walk in the ways of thine heart, and in the sight of thine eyes: but know thou, that for all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.
Remember now thy Creator in the days of thy youth, while the evil days come not, nor the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;
While the sun, or the light, or the moon, or the stars, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain:
In the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows be darkened,
And the doors shall be shut in the streets, when the sound of the grinding is low, and he shall rise up at the voice of the bird, and all the daughters of musick shall be brought low;
Also when they shall be afraid of that which is high, and fears shall be in the way, and the almond tree shall flourish, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail: because man goeth to his long home, and the mourners go about the streets:
Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern.
Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
Vanity of vanities, saith the preacher; all is vanity.
And moreover, because the preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he gave good heed, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.
The preacher sought to find out acceptable words: and that which was written was upright, even words of truth.
The words of the wise are as goads, and as nails fastened by the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.
And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.
Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.
Amen
The movie Tremors 1990 tagline was “There is nothing new under the sun but under the ground.”
I’m so enjoying this series. I disagree on a few points he makes but I know it’s just something someone taught him that is off. But his biblical knowledge is fabulous otherwise
What do you disagree with him on? He's totally right on dis topic
"We did it!"

Hello there! I've been wondering what's David doing these days. I would like to hear some words from him. He's such a blessing to my life
Hi Ray This is Steve on behalf of David. David is now 89 years of age and has struggled with his health for some years now. He is currently in full time Nursing Care and no longer well enough to be able to speak in public. He has served well and his Teachings and words will live long after his time on this earth
@@DavidPawsonMinistry I can't wait to see him one day :)
Thankyou for the update . I too am in residential care . I hope and pray he is comfortable. And i hope he knows just how much he is valued . I am so blessed to have found his teaching , a few years ago.Please can you convey this to him and my blessings . K
@@DavidPawsonMinistry sending love to David from Australia 🙏
He went to heaven in February 2020. He flew away.
Lovly👌🏿
What version of the Bible is David reading from?
Hi David uses the NIV - ''Nearly Infallible Version '' ;-)
Hi This is Steve - David uses the NIV
King James
But, I think he said New King James
He is using The Living Bible here though when he reads Ecclesiastes Chapter 12
It's some version on New Living Translation..but I cannot find the exact translation .
I'm living in Guildford I was wondering dose David still preach in a local church
Hi Isaac this is Steve: David left Guildford in 1980. He was actively teaching until last year but now, at 88 years young he has been struggling with his health in recent months. Sadly he currently has no speaking engagements in the diary
@@DavidPawsonMinistry so thankful these teachings are here
I feel like it's Jesus speaking directly through David. It's beautiful!
I still have difficulty appreciating our future demise due to illness or tragedy , just because God has decided it will be for our blessing and character building. This is the problem with religion and theism; being thankful for destruction. How? What sort of ideology is this?
That view is blaming God for everything that goes wrong - when God or a belief and faith in God brings hope for the future
Why do our bodies age - why do we suffer with illness ........ because God has decided it will be for our blessing ?
- our bodies age because the the natural process of cell reproduction - cell reproduction reproduces flaws and the older we get the more flaws are reproduced we cal it aging or even Cancer - I cannot personally blame God for years of abuse to my body
It was not always that way - what God created was Good .........it was because man disobeyed God that sin, corruption came into creation
God does not want us to suffer - its sin and the penalty of sin which results in death, but God provided us with a way out a better future , by his only Son - Jesus to pay the price for our sins .....t hat we may have life and life eternal Im not tankful for destruction - I am thankful because I have a hope of a better future - which you can have as well
My teacher🙌🏽
I have a feeling that after that crop of teachers finally go home, then the mixed bag of evil will overflow....
I understand from the Bible Project that the word translated 'vanity' means literally 'smoke' or 'vapour'. This gives a different feeling to the phrase. Perhaps 'futile' is an acceptable synonym.
