Ecclesiastes 3:15 - Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account.
I stumbled upon this verse the other day, and thought it was very interesting. I'm not sure I completely understand the verse, but it stuck with me anyway.
So, let's back up a verse.
Ecclesiastes 3:14 - I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that people will fear him.
And the next verse:
Ecclesiastes 3:16 - And I saw something else under the sun: In the place of judgment--wickedness was there, in the place of justice--wickedness was there.
I had to go back and read the whole chapter to get a better idea of this.
Basically, everything that is happening, and will happen, has happened before. There is a time for everything that happens. We live, and we die. Wickedness will have its time, but God will also destroy wickedness, in His time.
That's what I got out of this chapter. If anyone has a different interpretation, or more to add, please feel free to do so!
