Now

Ecclesiastes 1:9 New English Translation (NET Bible)

What exists now is what will be,
and what has been done is what will be done;
there is nothing truly new on earth.

 

 Now

 

It seems that the days went by again appeared in the “now”.

They are much like all the others which I remember of the past.

It seems today’s duplication from experience somehow?

Now and then in temporal time seem a mold in a brittle cast?

 

Does it mean I live tomorrow now in all the days of yesteryear?

Are all things from the past simply repeated in the present?

“Nothing new under the sun”, was carved as a gift so dear

Although written long ago through Solomon’s hidden essence.

 

Are all the writings that are known inspired by the timeless?

Even the ones destined to burn as appointed long ago.

It must be true a speck of time in a limitless Eternal,

that ended before it began in similarity for friend or foe.
