"The Preacher", Kohelet, sees injustice all around. Wicked people are outwardly blessed. He also sees what honourable funerals many of them have. He, as all God's people, must remember God's purposes in these seemingly unfair experiences. And despite the good send-offs, he reminds us that they are, anyway, dead. They can't escape their appointed day. At the resurrection, they'll face a terrible judgement. However, although the believer will be made alive too, their judgement have a very different outcome. For them, on renewed land for all eternity, all will be well. |
