Commentary on Selected Verses in Ecclesiastes

                                 Ecclesiastes 3:16-18 (KJB)

Solomon prophesied about "the place of judgment." This can only be a prophecy about Christ's final judgment in the end of the world. Christ will be in His place on His Great White Throne to judge the spiritual deaths and evil that has plagued the entire history of the human race. Revelation 20:11-15 (KJB). Christ's judgment of every individual human following physical death can only be a spiritual judgment, not a place of judgment. Hebrews 9:27 (KJB). If wickedness is in the place of righteousness, and righteousness is in the place of iniquity, then both must be in the inner beings of every human Christ will judge in His final judgment.

When Christ judges the righteous and the wicked, the righteous cannot be wholly righteous, and the wicked cannot be wholly wicked. Every human Christ judges in His final judgment will be partly righteous because they were created in God's image, and every human will be partly wicked because they suffer from spiritual death injected into their inner beings by the Devil. Genesis 1:27; Genesis 2:17 (KJB). Every human follows Adam's example. Every human inherits a weak free will from Adam that causes them all to sin except for small children who die before they can become old enough to be able to choose to sin. As soon as every human sins, the Devil injects spiritual death into their inner beings. Genesis 3:15 (KJB). The "seed" planted by the Devil is spiritual death, but the "seed" of the woman will rescue all humans from spiritual death which is eternal separation from God's Love. Because every human who sins chooses to sin, they must become responsible for their sins, but on the other hand, because it happens to be inevitable that every living human becomes a sinner, then humans do not become responsible for their sins. Romans 5:12 (KJB). In other words, living humans can become soiled and filthy by their sins and evil, but spiritual death which results from sin and evil can never so completely corrupt the righteous image of God in them to the extent that living humans can be utterly destroyed by spiritual death. But every living human lives in danger of being utterly destroyed by spiritual death, and they would be, but Christ came to earth and suffered eternal death in the place of every human, and He supplied the means to cleanse them all of all sins and evil that causes spiritual death. All humans will experience a temporary suffering for their sins and evil in their lives for which they must be responsible, but Christ has suffered all of their eternal, spiritual deaths, and the sins and evil that causes it, for which they cannot be responsible. Since God is Love, then He is a fair judge, and so He would take it upon Himself to save all of His living humans from all sins, evil, and spiritual deaths for which they are not responsible. Genesis 3:14-21; Hebrews 2:9-18; Matthew 15:13; Matthew 13:36-43; Revelation 22:11-12; Genesis 3:15 (KJB).

Immediately before Christ's final judgment, He will judge all of His righteous humans confined to the regions of death. Christ will appear to them all, and He will cause them all to recognize themselves as being "beasts" in need of salvation from eternal, spiritual death. When they see His Almighty Love and His Majesty, they will all choose to repent of all their sins and evil and put their faith in the Lamb of God their Savior. Revelation 5:11-14 (KJB). Christ will then use His fiery wrath against evil to dissolve their beings to separate their repentant, righteous natures from their evil, spiritual deaths so that He can save their cleansed, righteous natures, and He will cast their separated, evil and dead natures into the eternal lake of fire. I Corinthians 3:11-15; Genesis 8:20-21; II Peter 3:9-13; Psalm 75:3 (KJB). Christ will judge only dead and evil humans in His Great White Throne Judgment, not any of His separated, righteous humans that He has created in His image.

God can never lose anything He has ever created, and His Love can never fail. Ecclesiastes 3:14; I Corinthians 13:8 (KJB). For this reason, God has created a way to save His entire, living and righteous human race from sin, evil, and spiritual death, some by His grace and all others by His appearance to them in the end of the world. I Timothy 4:10; II Timothy 1:10; II Peter 3:9; Genesis 3:20; Luke 20:38; I Corinthians 15:22 (KJB).
