“You know Not”

Reference: Ecclesiastes Chapter 11

A scientist was having a conversation with a friend, and the scientist's view was that if things cannot be proven scientifically, then they're not real. The scientists explained that spiritual things are not real because he could not see them. He could not test them.
The friend asked the scientist if he was married, and the scientist answered yes. The friend asked the scientist if he did love his wife, and the scientist responded, "Yes, I love my wife. I love her very much." The friend asked the scientist if he could prove to him scientifically his love for his wife. The scientists thought about it and said, "Well, I cannot prove to you scientifically my love for my wife, but I know I love" The friend asks the scientist if his love for his wife is real. The scientist has answered yes, it's real. My love  for my wife is real. The friend told him, "This is what I've been trying to explain to you: things that are real cannot be proven scientifically. It's things that are not real that we can prove scientifically." The friend continued that love, joy, peace, spirits, and faith cannot be proven scientifically, but they are real."

The writer of Ecclesiastes says, "We know not the way of the Spirit, or how the bones grow in the womb, so are the ways of God."

Let's read:

Ecclesiastes 11:1-2 "Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days. [2] Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth."

We know not what tomorrow brings, but we know tomorrow is real. How do we know? Because today was yesterday's tomorrow. Today could be my last day on earth or your last day on earth. Do you know? Cast that bread of life to the people around you. Jesus Christ is the bread of life, the bread that was served on the cross of Calvary for the whole human race. Many are not aware of this bread, and are eating the wrong things spiritually. They are dying left and right because they do not know the bread of life.

We continue our reading:

Ecclesiastes 11:3-5 "If the clouds be full of rain, they empty themselves upon the earth: and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be. [4] He that observeth the wind shall not sow; and he that regardeth the clouds shall not reap. [5] As thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit, nor how the bones do grow in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou knowest not the works of God who maketh all."

A man or woman is a spiritual light that grows in the seed of blood. That spiritual light cannot be seen with the naked eye, but we can see the growth of that child from conception, which simply means blood in the womb. How the bones grow and how the various tissues, organs, and organ systems come together is spiritual. That’s Who God is: the intelligence that makes all living things come together.

We continue our reading:

Ecclesiastes 11:6 "In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening withhold not thine hand: for thou knowest not whether shall prosper, either this or that, or whether they both shall be alike good."

Do you know if the sun will rise tomorrow? There is one who knows, and that's who God is. He's all-knowing. He knew you before you were formed in your mother's womb. He knows your end from your beginning. He is real.

Where does the sun get its light from? The sunlight can be perceived physically , but where does the sun get its light from? That's Who God is. God is light, and he manifests His light through the sunlight just as He manifested His Word through a physical blood body called Jesus Christ.

We conclude our reading:

Ecclesiastes 11:7-10 “Truly the light is sweet, and a pleasant thing it is for the eyes to behold the sun: [8] 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. [9] 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. [10] Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh: for childhood and youth are vanity.”

The justice of God requires judgment. Adam was judged in the Garden of Eden after he broke his covenant with God, God wants to be believed. Faith is the judgment. He that believes not is already judged, is already condemned. The moment Adam failed to believe, he was already condemned to death. But he that believes has everlasting life and shall never die. He that believes God’s blood and His word has passed from death unto life, because they have escaped the curse of the blood of the first Adam.

Cast the Bread of life, Jesus Christ, the blood of God, the first Adam, onto the world. BELIEVE and confess Christ the bloody Lamb as we've revealed Him from the first Adam. Real things cannot be known physically, in Christ.
