Here we see that no man, no matter how powerful and wise he may be, is able to give humanity the perfect life and the ideal society. We have to look beyond this world.
This situation and chapter of Ecclesiastes is a cry for the Redeemer and his kingdom. It is the cry for Christ who will one day give perfect life for believers on the new earth. It was the Lord Jesus who had to experience during his life on earth how the favour of the people could change suddenly. First he is brought into Jerusalem as King. See, among others, Mark 11:9–10. A few days later the same people were shouting, Crucify him! Crucify him!
Mark 15:14.
16 Il n'y avait point de fin à tout ce peuple, à tous ceux à la tête desquels il était. Et toutefois, ceux qui viendront après ne se réjouiront pas à son sujet. Car c'est encore là une vanité et la poursuite du vent.
