Ecclesiastes Chapter Seven cont... The deep things of God


24 “That which is far off, and exceeding deep, who can find it out?”

That which is afar off (in the future) and deep (profound), who can know it? Man, without help, cannot discern the future nor discover the profound, deep and hidden treasures known only to God. However, that being said we do have a way of seeing deep things and knowing these things that are far off if we draw near to God in the person of the Holy Spirit. Consider the words of 1 Corinthians 2:9-11. “But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.  But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.  For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God.” If we draw near to Him with a true heart He will draw near to us (See James 4:8) and it is those who are close to Him that He reveals the hidden deep things of God
