00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:29.980
 You may have seen the classic film It's a Wonderful Life in that the character George Bailey struggles to believe that his hometown of Bedford Falls can give him the wonder that he desires in life.

00:00:30.000 --> 00:00:49.039
 The same enemies causes George Bailey to fidget with the mundane. He is restless to leave it all behind him. And he feels that he must travel to some other patch of this world, somewhere else, to do something worthwhile.

00:00:49.820 --> 00:01:07.299
 He's ruled by those two words, if only. He says in the film, he says, I couldn't face being cooped up for the rest of my life in this shabby office. I wanted to do something big, something important.

00:01:07.299 --> 00:01:20.500
 Satisfaction is never quite now, is it? It's never quite here in this moment.

00:01:20.500 --> 00:01:33.140
 We are a society obsessed with the new. We are a people obsessed with change, with invention, with the novel.

00:01:33.140 --> 00:01:42.379
 As someone once said, somewhere else, doing something else, is the model of our advancement.

00:01:42.379 --> 00:01:51.840
 If only I could get there, somewhere over the rainbow, my life will be alright.

00:01:52.840 --> 00:01:57.219
 If only these things could change, I would finally be happy.

00:01:57.819 --> 00:02:03.419
 Somewhere else, doing something else, being someone else.

00:02:03.420 --> 00:02:12.879
 As we open up the book of Ecclesiastes, we're going to go through it over the next few Tuesdays.

00:02:12.979 --> 00:02:17.800
 We'll probably take a break, and then maybe come back to it next year.

00:02:18.800 --> 00:02:26.740
 But what we find in this book is a teaching of a wise, godly man who is about to burst our bubble.

00:02:26.740 --> 00:02:36.900
 He's about to take us on a grand tour of the world, to make us face things that perhaps we don't want to about the world.

00:02:37.900 --> 00:02:41.219
 That there is no yellow brick road.

00:02:42.379 --> 00:02:46.900
 That there is no end of the rainbow somewhere else.

00:02:47.879 --> 00:02:52.520
 There is no shortcut to a wonderful life in this world.

00:02:52.520 --> 00:03:03.280
 But he also holds the keys for showing us the enjoyment and satisfaction in this world as a gift from God.

00:03:04.020 --> 00:03:09.800
 For where you are, whenever you are, and whoever you are, right now.

00:03:11.160 --> 00:03:19.600
 It's a grand world tour of realism, but also of rejoicing in this life.

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:25.139
 So firstly, listen to the words of this tour guide.

00:03:25.659 --> 00:03:27.240
 The words of the tour guide.

00:03:28.780 --> 00:03:33.539
 Now the name Ecclesiastes, it's not a word we use often, is it?

00:03:34.500 --> 00:03:42.859
 It's a word that is from a Greek word that is used to translate a Hebrew word.

00:03:42.860 --> 00:03:51.260
 Meaning a collector, or a compiler, or a preacher, or a teacher.

00:03:51.860 --> 00:03:56.020
 It's named after the preacher who is featured in the book.

00:03:56.460 --> 00:03:59.080
 And we're introduced to him in verse 1, aren't we?

00:03:59.780 --> 00:04:02.020
 The words of the preacher.

00:04:02.880 --> 00:04:05.240
 The son of David, king in Jerusalem.

00:04:05.240 --> 00:04:09.500
 Now we're going to learn more about this preacher as time goes by.

00:04:09.600 --> 00:04:13.719
 But right from the beginning we are given his sermon text.

00:04:14.719 --> 00:04:17.340
 The words of this preacher's sermon.

00:04:17.579 --> 00:04:21.199
 And it's probably one of the shortest sermons that I've ever seen.

00:04:21.300 --> 00:04:23.060
 It's just three words long.

00:04:23.740 --> 00:04:24.720
 In verse 2.

00:04:25.920 --> 00:04:29.579
 Vanity of vanities, says the preacher.

00:04:29.579 --> 00:04:32.099
 That's his text.

00:04:32.819 --> 00:04:35.560
 A very, very short lunchtime talk.

00:04:36.919 --> 00:04:41.039
 He is going to unpack those three words over the whole book.

00:04:42.500 --> 00:04:44.259
 But that's his sermon.

00:04:44.439 --> 00:04:45.899
 Vanity of vanities.

00:04:47.500 --> 00:04:50.219
 Now again, vanity is not a word we use often, is it?

00:04:50.879 --> 00:04:56.819
 Some English translations of the original word there use the word meaningless.

00:04:56.819 --> 00:04:59.579
 You might find that in your Bible at home.

00:05:00.279 --> 00:05:02.240
 Others use the word breath.

00:05:02.379 --> 00:05:03.639
 Breath of breath.

00:05:04.519 --> 00:05:05.339
 That is helpful.

00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:12.279
 Anyway, vanity stands for something that is vaporous.

00:05:12.860 --> 00:05:14.159
 Like a breath.

00:05:15.759 --> 00:05:17.740
 Something that is futile.

00:05:17.959 --> 00:05:20.659
 Gone at their one minute, gone the next.

00:05:20.899 --> 00:05:24.579
 Something that is ephemeral and vacuous.

00:05:24.579 --> 00:05:28.740
 Something that is pointless and meaningless.

00:05:30.279 --> 00:05:33.919
 This preacher's text sounds odd, doesn't it?

00:05:34.680 --> 00:05:38.360
 All is vanity, he says.

00:05:39.959 --> 00:05:43.819
 As we begin on this tour, with this tour guide,

00:05:44.019 --> 00:05:48.579
 we might think somehow we have bumped into a madman

00:05:48.579 --> 00:05:52.500
 who is shouting out crazy things on the street.

00:05:52.639 --> 00:05:54.979
 He is shouting out nonsense here, isn't he?

00:05:55.339 --> 00:05:56.899
 All is vanity.

00:05:58.259 --> 00:05:58.699
 Really?

00:06:00.139 --> 00:06:02.300
 Marriage is meaningless.

00:06:04.219 --> 00:06:07.360
 Friendship is pointless and vacuous.

00:06:07.500 --> 00:06:08.659
 Really, preacher?

00:06:09.719 --> 00:06:10.919
 Is all vanity?

00:06:11.219 --> 00:06:11.759
 Come on.

00:06:11.759 --> 00:06:15.699
 He takes us on this tour, though.

00:06:16.599 --> 00:06:18.339
 And we realise as he does that,

00:06:18.420 --> 00:06:19.939
 he is not the madman,

00:06:20.579 --> 00:06:22.579
 but he is the wise man.

00:06:23.420 --> 00:06:25.699
 And he is going to show us a world

00:06:25.699 --> 00:06:28.079
 that we know, deep down at heart,

00:06:28.159 --> 00:06:30.279
 is a complex place to live in.

00:06:31.079 --> 00:06:33.680
 It is a world full of loose ends.

00:06:33.680 --> 00:06:35.920
 Where there are rules,

00:06:36.199 --> 00:06:38.340
 but there are exceptions to the rule.

00:06:39.360 --> 00:06:42.620
 Where things that should not happen, happen.

00:06:43.819 --> 00:06:45.319
 A maddening world.

00:06:46.199 --> 00:06:47.879
 A frustrating world.

00:06:48.660 --> 00:06:51.939
 Where all, at one level, is vanity.

00:06:53.259 --> 00:06:55.800
 And he is going to peel back the curtains,

00:06:56.060 --> 00:06:56.639
 as it were,

00:06:56.699 --> 00:06:58.000
 to help us to see

00:06:58.000 --> 00:07:01.019
 what is going on backstage in the world.

00:07:01.459 --> 00:07:02.839
 To see the true reality.

00:07:04.560 --> 00:07:06.339
 It's like our tour guide,

00:07:06.600 --> 00:07:07.120
 the preacher,

00:07:07.420 --> 00:07:09.300
 he is like one of those magicians

00:07:09.300 --> 00:07:11.819
 who gets kicked out of the magic circle

00:07:11.819 --> 00:07:14.420
 for revealing all of the secrets.

00:07:14.939 --> 00:07:16.720
 Now, you hear those stories, don't you?

00:07:17.639 --> 00:07:19.439
 A magician who has learnt

00:07:19.439 --> 00:07:21.620
 all of the arts and the tricks.

00:07:22.480 --> 00:07:24.420
 He's learnt the sleight of hand

00:07:24.420 --> 00:07:25.339
 and the distraction.

00:07:25.339 --> 00:07:27.779
 He is in the know

00:07:27.779 --> 00:07:30.019
 about how all of the tricks work,

00:07:30.379 --> 00:07:33.000
 but he breaks away from the system

00:07:33.000 --> 00:07:35.139
 and he reveals all.

00:07:36.399 --> 00:07:38.000
 He tells the audience

00:07:38.000 --> 00:07:40.659
 the secrets of all the tricks.

00:07:41.639 --> 00:07:43.819
 Where does the hat actually come from

00:07:43.819 --> 00:07:45.459
 when it comes out of the hat?

00:07:45.859 --> 00:07:46.259
 The rabbit.

00:07:47.799 --> 00:07:50.399
 How do they saw the person in two?

00:07:51.539 --> 00:07:54.679
 He gives us a revelation of the world.

00:07:55.339 --> 00:07:57.039
 Behind all of the smoke

00:07:57.039 --> 00:07:58.099
 and all of the mirrors.

00:07:58.319 --> 00:08:00.199
 Behind the party line

00:08:00.199 --> 00:08:02.000
 of materialism

00:08:02.000 --> 00:08:03.279
 and consumerism

00:08:03.279 --> 00:08:04.399
 and atheism.

00:08:05.199 --> 00:08:07.199
 And he gives it us straight,

00:08:07.479 --> 00:08:08.339
 undiluted,

00:08:09.299 --> 00:08:09.779
 honestly.

00:08:11.299 --> 00:08:12.659
 And we will see that

00:08:12.659 --> 00:08:13.879
 he is a brilliant,

00:08:14.219 --> 00:08:15.139
 brilliant preacher

00:08:15.139 --> 00:08:16.439
 as he does this.

00:08:17.079 --> 00:08:18.779
 Because he is like a magician

00:08:18.779 --> 00:08:20.939
 who gets off the stage

00:08:20.939 --> 00:08:22.719
 and sits with the audience.

00:08:22.720 --> 00:08:25.260
 He is a preacher

00:08:25.260 --> 00:08:26.800
 who gets down

00:08:26.800 --> 00:08:28.500
 and sits with the congregation

00:08:28.500 --> 00:08:30.580
 and asks the questions

00:08:30.580 --> 00:08:31.540
 about the world

00:08:31.540 --> 00:08:32.740
 that they are asking.

00:08:34.200 --> 00:08:36.279
 He will avoid the trite

00:08:36.279 --> 00:08:38.060
 and sentimental,

00:08:38.440 --> 00:08:40.720
 standard preacher's answers

00:08:40.720 --> 00:08:44.720
 and the dishonest answers

00:08:45.320 --> 00:08:47.220
 to bring us a healthy dose

00:08:47.220 --> 00:08:47.980
 of realism.

00:08:47.980 --> 00:08:50.680
 So he says,

00:08:50.779 --> 00:08:52.019
 on my tour of the world

00:08:52.019 --> 00:08:52.960
 I am going to give you

00:08:52.960 --> 00:08:53.899
 two things.

00:08:55.300 --> 00:08:56.980
 The first thing I am going to give you

00:08:56.980 --> 00:08:58.899
 is the genuine story.

00:08:59.620 --> 00:09:00.659
 I am going to give you

00:09:00.659 --> 00:09:02.080
 the genuine story.

00:09:03.879 --> 00:09:05.180
 Now in our little section

00:09:05.180 --> 00:09:07.279
 on our sheets this afternoon,

00:09:07.960 --> 00:09:09.500
 verse 3 to 11,

00:09:09.500 --> 00:09:13.659
 we see that the story begins

00:09:13.659 --> 00:09:16.379
 showing a world

00:09:16.379 --> 00:09:19.240
 of inscrutable repetition.

00:09:21.159 --> 00:09:23.559
 A world that goes round

00:09:23.559 --> 00:09:25.360
 and around and around

00:09:25.360 --> 00:09:28.179
 as if it's stuck on repeat.

00:09:30.259 --> 00:09:31.539
 Now throughout the book

00:09:31.539 --> 00:09:32.360
 of Ecclesiastes

00:09:32.360 --> 00:09:34.240
 there are two refrains

00:09:34.240 --> 00:09:35.740
 that the preacher uses

00:09:35.740 --> 00:09:38.480
 for his two main messages.

00:09:40.159 --> 00:09:41.480
 And the first refrain

00:09:41.480 --> 00:09:43.180
 we see in the title

00:09:43.180 --> 00:09:44.899
 for his genuine story

00:09:44.899 --> 00:09:45.539
 of the world

00:09:45.539 --> 00:09:46.580
 in verse 3.

00:09:47.799 --> 00:09:48.820
 What does man gain

00:09:48.820 --> 00:09:49.620
 by all the toil

00:09:49.620 --> 00:09:50.680
 at which he toils?

00:09:51.299 --> 00:09:52.620
 Under the sun.

00:09:53.600 --> 00:09:54.600
 Under the sun.

00:09:56.279 --> 00:09:57.620
 That's shorthand

00:09:57.620 --> 00:09:59.560
 for life in this world

00:09:59.560 --> 00:10:00.779
 as it really is.

00:10:01.159 --> 00:10:02.600
 Everything that is

00:10:02.600 --> 00:10:04.580
 from a human perspective.

00:10:05.740 --> 00:10:08.340
 And life under the sun

00:10:08.340 --> 00:10:08.919
 he says

00:10:08.919 --> 00:10:10.080
 is fundamentally

00:10:10.080 --> 00:10:12.019
 repetitive.

00:10:13.340 --> 00:10:14.700
 It is ultimately

00:10:14.700 --> 00:10:15.519
 fading

00:10:15.519 --> 00:10:17.120
 and futile.

00:10:18.519 --> 00:10:20.159
 Look at verse 9 there.

00:10:20.759 --> 00:10:21.799
 What has been

00:10:21.799 --> 00:10:23.039
 is what will be

00:10:23.039 --> 00:10:25.580
 and what has been done

00:10:25.580 --> 00:10:26.600
 is what will be done

00:10:26.600 --> 00:10:28.440
 and there is nothing new

00:10:28.440 --> 00:10:29.779
 under the sun.

00:10:30.960 --> 00:10:32.039
 It is a world

00:10:32.039 --> 00:10:32.940
 where people

00:10:32.940 --> 00:10:34.240
 and their achievements

00:10:34.240 --> 00:10:35.320
 are endlessly

00:10:35.320 --> 00:10:36.779
 being rehashed

00:10:36.779 --> 00:10:38.419
 and re-photocopied

00:10:39.440 --> 00:10:41.000
 over and over again.

00:10:43.080 --> 00:10:44.080
 In the film

00:10:44.080 --> 00:10:44.980
 Edge of Tomorrow

00:10:44.980 --> 00:10:45.919
 Tom Cruise

00:10:45.919 --> 00:10:47.000
 plays the character

00:10:47.000 --> 00:10:48.159
 of an army officer

00:10:48.159 --> 00:10:50.600
 who is captured

00:10:50.600 --> 00:10:51.779
 by a strange

00:10:51.779 --> 00:10:52.879
 alien power.

00:10:53.220 --> 00:10:53.500
 I don't know

00:10:53.500 --> 00:10:54.460
 if you like sci-fi.

00:10:55.379 --> 00:10:56.740
 But it forces him

00:10:56.740 --> 00:10:57.879
 to relive

00:10:57.879 --> 00:10:58.960
 the same day

00:10:58.960 --> 00:11:00.399
 over and over again.

00:11:00.399 --> 00:11:03.019
 And it is the day

00:11:03.019 --> 00:11:04.179
 when humans

00:11:04.179 --> 00:11:05.480
 plunge themselves

00:11:05.480 --> 00:11:06.620
 into a war

00:11:06.620 --> 00:11:07.819
 with another race.

00:11:09.139 --> 00:11:10.519
 Now at first

00:11:10.519 --> 00:11:11.299
 Cruise

00:11:11.299 --> 00:11:12.679
 tries to fight.

00:11:13.740 --> 00:11:15.059
 He uses this day

00:11:15.059 --> 00:11:16.419
 to try and learn

00:11:16.419 --> 00:11:17.459
 and train.

00:11:18.419 --> 00:11:20.079
 He uses this one day

00:11:20.079 --> 00:11:21.000
 to advance

00:11:21.000 --> 00:11:22.579
 his combat skills.

00:11:22.959 --> 00:11:23.679
 One day

00:11:23.679 --> 00:11:24.379
 to defeat

00:11:24.379 --> 00:11:25.079
 his enemy

00:11:25.079 --> 00:11:25.919
 to develop.

00:11:25.919 --> 00:11:28.939
 only to wake up

00:11:28.939 --> 00:11:29.979
 and have to do it

00:11:29.979 --> 00:11:31.019
 all over again

00:11:31.019 --> 00:11:32.000
 the next morning.

00:11:33.360 --> 00:11:34.579
 The catchphrase,

00:11:34.659 --> 00:11:35.259
 the catchline

00:11:35.259 --> 00:11:35.819
 of the film

00:11:35.819 --> 00:11:36.759
 is live,

00:11:37.000 --> 00:11:37.339
 die,

00:11:37.699 --> 00:11:38.000
 repeat.

00:11:39.500 --> 00:11:40.360
 He is living

00:11:40.360 --> 00:11:41.099
 and dying

00:11:41.099 --> 00:11:41.860
 and repeating.

00:11:42.259 --> 00:11:42.899
 And in the film

00:11:42.899 --> 00:11:44.120
 it's a harrowing

00:11:44.120 --> 00:11:45.279
 and weary

00:11:45.279 --> 00:11:46.139
 experience

00:11:46.139 --> 00:11:47.179
 that he has to

00:11:47.179 --> 00:11:47.719
 find a way

00:11:47.719 --> 00:11:48.500
 to escape.

00:11:49.319 --> 00:11:50.339
 Now spoiler alert,

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:51.599
 he does find a way.

00:11:51.799 --> 00:11:52.599
 So it's a good ending.

00:11:52.600 --> 00:11:54.600
 But the preacher

00:11:54.600 --> 00:11:55.560
 shows us here

00:11:55.560 --> 00:11:56.440
 that there is

00:11:56.440 --> 00:11:57.519
 only escape

00:11:57.519 --> 00:11:58.540
 from the living,

00:11:58.820 --> 00:11:59.300
 the dying

00:11:59.300 --> 00:12:00.279
 and the repeating

00:12:00.279 --> 00:12:02.659
 in a Hollywood film.

00:12:03.940 --> 00:12:05.120
 Because that is

00:12:05.120 --> 00:12:06.220
 exactly how

00:12:06.220 --> 00:12:07.399
 this world is

00:12:07.399 --> 00:12:08.340
 under the sun.

00:12:09.879 --> 00:12:10.639
 Listen to him

00:12:10.639 --> 00:12:11.480
 in verse 4.

00:12:12.540 --> 00:12:13.480
 A generation

00:12:13.480 --> 00:12:14.120
 goes

00:12:14.120 --> 00:12:14.680
 and another

00:12:14.680 --> 00:12:15.200
 comes

00:12:15.200 --> 00:12:16.019
 but the earth

00:12:16.019 --> 00:12:17.060
 remains forever.

00:12:18.800 --> 00:12:19.519
 Lifetime

00:12:19.519 --> 00:12:20.360
 after lifetime

00:12:20.360 --> 00:12:21.279
 we live,

00:12:21.279 --> 00:12:21.860
 we die

00:12:21.860 --> 00:12:22.539
 and we are

00:12:22.539 --> 00:12:22.959
 forgotten.

00:12:24.220 --> 00:12:25.159
 Think about that.

00:12:26.120 --> 00:12:27.639
 The vast majority

00:12:27.639 --> 00:12:28.299
 of people

00:12:28.299 --> 00:12:29.179
 who have ever

00:12:29.179 --> 00:12:30.480
 lived in this world

00:12:30.480 --> 00:12:31.879
 we have never

00:12:31.879 --> 00:12:32.579
 known one

00:12:32.579 --> 00:12:33.519
 single one of them.

00:12:34.839 --> 00:12:35.819
 How many of us

00:12:35.819 --> 00:12:36.480
 know our

00:12:36.480 --> 00:12:37.139
 grandparents

00:12:37.139 --> 00:12:38.199
 by name

00:12:38.199 --> 00:12:39.360
 or our

00:12:39.360 --> 00:12:39.919
 grandparents?

00:12:41.199 --> 00:12:41.919
 And the few

00:12:41.919 --> 00:12:42.579
 people that we

00:12:42.579 --> 00:12:43.279
 have known

00:12:43.279 --> 00:12:43.980
 are soon

00:12:43.980 --> 00:12:44.480
 forgotten.

00:12:46.079 --> 00:12:47.100
 In a clever

00:12:47.100 --> 00:12:48.039
 use of language

00:12:48.039 --> 00:12:48.639
 the preacher

00:12:48.639 --> 00:12:49.600
 shows our

00:12:49.600 --> 00:12:50.539
 transience

00:12:50.539 --> 00:12:51.480
 in comparison

00:12:51.480 --> 00:12:52.439
 with the earth

00:12:52.439 --> 00:12:53.000
 that we live

00:12:53.000 --> 00:12:53.179
 on,

00:12:53.219 --> 00:12:53.759
 doesn't he?

00:12:54.899 --> 00:12:55.740
 In verse 4,

00:12:55.819 --> 00:12:56.439
 the earth

00:12:56.439 --> 00:12:57.860
 remains forever.

00:13:00.039 --> 00:13:01.459
 The constancy

00:13:01.459 --> 00:13:02.439
 of the earth

00:13:02.439 --> 00:13:03.459
 shows our

00:13:03.459 --> 00:13:04.779
 repetitive life.

00:13:06.120 --> 00:13:06.860
 The same

00:13:06.860 --> 00:13:07.539
 earth

00:13:07.539 --> 00:13:08.419
 lived on

00:13:08.419 --> 00:13:09.379
 by generation

00:13:09.379 --> 00:13:10.539
 after generation

00:13:10.539 --> 00:13:12.319
 swept away

00:13:12.319 --> 00:13:13.199
 by the tides

00:13:13.199 --> 00:13:13.879
 of time.

00:13:13.879 --> 00:13:15.939
 the same

00:13:15.939 --> 00:13:16.600
 earth that

00:13:16.600 --> 00:13:17.320
 Socrates

00:13:17.320 --> 00:13:18.379
 walked on.

00:13:19.480 --> 00:13:20.320
 Constantine

00:13:20.320 --> 00:13:21.220
 has been

00:13:21.220 --> 00:13:21.659
 here.

00:13:22.399 --> 00:13:22.899
 Shakespeare

00:13:22.899 --> 00:13:23.879
 and Leonardo

00:13:23.879 --> 00:13:24.700
 da Vinci.

00:13:25.100 --> 00:13:25.500
 Michael

00:13:25.500 --> 00:13:26.080
 Jackson.

00:13:27.439 --> 00:13:28.019
 The earth

00:13:28.019 --> 00:13:28.700
 has seen

00:13:28.700 --> 00:13:29.519
 them all

00:13:29.519 --> 00:13:30.519
 come and

00:13:30.519 --> 00:13:30.879
 go.

00:13:32.179 --> 00:13:32.799
 They've all

00:13:32.799 --> 00:13:33.419
 walked on

00:13:33.419 --> 00:13:33.879
 the same

00:13:33.879 --> 00:13:34.299
 earth

00:13:34.299 --> 00:13:35.059
 and they've

00:13:35.059 --> 00:13:35.899
 all seen

00:13:35.899 --> 00:13:36.580
 the same

00:13:36.580 --> 00:13:37.360
 sun that

00:13:37.360 --> 00:13:38.159
 we see

00:13:38.159 --> 00:13:39.899
 that rises

00:13:39.899 --> 00:13:40.879
 and goes

00:13:40.879 --> 00:13:41.620
 down and

00:13:41.620 --> 00:13:43.360
 hastens to

00:13:43.360 --> 00:13:43.980
 the place

00:13:43.980 --> 00:13:44.379
 where it

00:13:44.379 --> 00:13:45.059
 rises in

00:13:45.059 --> 00:13:45.860
 verse 5.

00:13:46.459 --> 00:13:47.120
 We see

00:13:47.120 --> 00:13:47.899
 that sun

00:13:47.899 --> 00:13:48.699
 every day

00:13:48.699 --> 00:13:49.379
 don't we?

00:13:50.519 --> 00:13:51.139
 But the

00:13:51.139 --> 00:13:51.980
 sun won't

00:13:51.980 --> 00:13:52.699
 necessarily

00:13:52.699 --> 00:13:53.799
 see us

00:13:53.799 --> 00:13:54.719
 every day.

00:13:55.879 --> 00:13:56.899
 We will

00:13:56.899 --> 00:13:57.360
 die

00:13:57.360 --> 00:13:58.679
 and the

00:13:58.679 --> 00:13:59.259
 whole thing

00:13:59.259 --> 00:13:59.959
 will start

00:13:59.959 --> 00:14:00.659
 all over

00:14:00.659 --> 00:14:01.139
 again.

00:14:01.139 --> 00:14:04.039
 Moses

00:14:04.039 --> 00:14:04.840
 writes in

00:14:04.840 --> 00:14:05.559
 the Psalms

00:14:05.559 --> 00:14:06.139
 we bring

00:14:06.139 --> 00:14:06.799
 our years

00:14:06.799 --> 00:14:07.199
 to an

00:14:07.199 --> 00:14:07.759
 end like

00:14:07.759 --> 00:14:08.319
 a sigh.

00:14:08.980 --> 00:14:09.600
 The years

00:14:09.600 --> 00:14:09.939
 of our

00:14:09.939 --> 00:14:10.379
 life are

00:14:10.379 --> 00:14:10.840
 seventy

00:14:10.840 --> 00:14:12.120
 or even

00:14:12.120 --> 00:14:12.759
 by reason

00:14:12.759 --> 00:14:13.299
 of strength

00:14:13.299 --> 00:14:13.699
 eighty

00:14:13.699 --> 00:14:14.379
 yet their

00:14:14.379 --> 00:14:14.960
 span is

00:14:14.960 --> 00:14:15.620
 but toil

00:14:15.620 --> 00:14:16.199
 and trouble

00:14:16.199 --> 00:14:17.659
 they are

00:14:17.659 --> 00:14:18.519
 soon gone

00:14:18.519 --> 00:14:19.019
 and we

00:14:19.019 --> 00:14:19.960
 fly away.

00:14:21.840 --> 00:14:22.600
 The preacher

00:14:22.600 --> 00:14:23.220
 tells us

00:14:23.220 --> 00:14:23.819
 that even

00:14:23.819 --> 00:14:24.519
 inanimate

00:14:24.519 --> 00:14:25.120
 nature

00:14:25.120 --> 00:14:25.779
 itself

00:14:25.779 --> 00:14:26.539
 feels the

00:14:26.539 --> 00:14:27.179
 futility

00:14:27.179 --> 00:14:27.799
 of this

00:14:27.799 --> 00:14:28.559
 repetition

00:14:28.559 --> 00:14:30.059
 in verse

00:14:30.059 --> 00:14:30.480
 7.

00:14:31.139 --> 00:14:32.120
 All

00:14:32.120 --> 00:14:32.740
 streams

00:14:32.740 --> 00:14:33.179
 run to

00:14:33.179 --> 00:14:33.600
 the sea

00:14:33.600 --> 00:14:33.980
 but the

00:14:33.980 --> 00:14:34.419
 sea is

00:14:34.419 --> 00:14:35.199
 not full.

00:14:35.720 --> 00:14:36.100
 To the

00:14:36.100 --> 00:14:36.639
 place where

00:14:36.639 --> 00:14:37.279
 the streams

00:14:37.279 --> 00:14:37.720
 flow

00:14:37.720 --> 00:14:38.299
 there they

00:14:38.299 --> 00:14:38.699
 flow

00:14:38.699 --> 00:14:39.279
 again.

00:14:40.899 --> 00:14:41.259
 Even

00:14:41.259 --> 00:14:41.939
 the sea

00:14:41.939 --> 00:14:42.919
 is constantly

00:14:42.919 --> 00:14:43.919
 being filled

00:14:43.919 --> 00:14:45.360
 but is

00:14:45.360 --> 00:14:46.100
 never full

00:14:46.100 --> 00:14:46.740
 it's never

00:14:46.740 --> 00:14:47.580
 satisfied.

00:14:48.779 --> 00:14:49.259
 Round

00:14:49.259 --> 00:14:50.019
 and round

00:14:50.019 --> 00:14:50.759
 and round

00:14:50.759 --> 00:14:52.500
 emptying

00:14:52.500 --> 00:14:53.360
 and filling

00:14:53.360 --> 00:14:54.500
 emptying

00:14:54.500 --> 00:14:55.059
 and filling

00:14:55.059 --> 00:14:57.639
 and we

00:14:57.639 --> 00:14:58.259
 know this

00:14:58.259 --> 00:14:58.899
 is real

00:14:58.899 --> 00:14:59.539
 don't we?

00:15:00.080 --> 00:15:01.019
 We feel

00:15:01.019 --> 00:15:01.360
 this

00:15:01.360 --> 00:15:02.399
 inscrutable

00:15:02.399 --> 00:15:03.199
 repetition

00:15:03.199 --> 00:15:03.819
 in all

00:15:03.819 --> 00:15:04.100
 that we

00:15:04.100 --> 00:15:04.500
 do.

00:15:05.860 --> 00:15:06.460
 Just think

00:15:06.460 --> 00:15:06.799
 of the

00:15:06.799 --> 00:15:07.500
 events that

00:15:07.500 --> 00:15:08.000
 have shaped

00:15:08.000 --> 00:15:08.980
 our lives

00:15:08.980 --> 00:15:10.000
 the events

00:15:10.000 --> 00:15:10.439
 that we

00:15:10.439 --> 00:15:11.079
 remember

00:15:11.079 --> 00:15:12.220
 events that

00:15:12.220 --> 00:15:13.559
 children now

00:15:13.559 --> 00:15:14.179
 can only

00:15:14.179 --> 00:15:14.860
 learn about

00:15:14.860 --> 00:15:15.259
 in a

00:15:15.259 --> 00:15:15.960
 textbook

00:15:27.220 --> 00:15:27.639
 children

00:15:27.639 --> 00:15:28.159
 will have

00:15:28.159 --> 00:15:28.759
 the same

00:15:28.759 --> 00:15:29.579
 conversations

 same

00:15:34.620 --> 00:15:35.159
 problems

00:15:35.159 --> 00:15:35.840
 to solve

00:15:35.840 --> 00:15:36.539
 over and

00:15:36.539 --> 00:15:36.919
 over.

00:15:38.279 --> 00:15:38.480
 The

 constant

00:15:38.980 --> 00:15:39.879
 search for

00:15:39.879 --> 00:15:40.559
 the new

00:15:40.559 --> 00:15:42.179
 is itself

00:15:42.179 --> 00:15:43.019
 an ancient

00:15:43.019 --> 00:15:43.819
 and much

00:15:43.819 --> 00:15:44.399
 repeated

00:15:44.399 --> 00:15:45.279
 search.

00:15:46.399 --> 00:15:47.039
 Verse

00:15:47.039 --> 00:15:47.500
 10

00:15:47.500 --> 00:15:49.139
 Is there a

00:15:49.139 --> 00:15:49.519
 thing of

00:15:49.519 --> 00:15:49.939
 which it

00:15:49.939 --> 00:15:50.399
 is said

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:51.000
 see this

00:15:51.000 --> 00:15:51.620
 is new

00:15:51.620 --> 00:15:52.959
 it has

00:15:52.959 --> 00:15:53.679
 been already

00:15:53.679 --> 00:15:54.039
 in the

00:15:54.039 --> 00:15:54.799
 ages before

00:15:54.799 --> 00:15:55.339
 us.

00:15:56.699 --> 00:15:57.639
 Now don't

00:15:57.639 --> 00:15:57.939
 get the

00:15:57.939 --> 00:15:58.579
 preacher wrong

00:15:58.579 --> 00:15:59.659
 here he is

00:15:59.659 --> 00:16:00.319
 not wearing

00:16:00.319 --> 00:16:01.199
 Nike trainers

00:16:01.199 --> 00:16:01.699
 is he

00:16:01.699 --> 00:16:03.079
 and he has

00:16:03.079 --> 00:16:03.699
 not written

00:16:03.699 --> 00:16:04.480
 this on

00:16:04.480 --> 00:16:05.039
 an iPad

00:16:05.039 --> 00:16:06.919
 he is not

00:16:06.919 --> 00:16:07.500
 saying that

00:16:07.500 --> 00:16:07.779
 there will

00:16:07.779 --> 00:16:08.339
 never be

00:16:08.339 --> 00:16:08.699
 any

00:16:08.699 --> 00:16:09.379
 inventions

00:16:09.379 --> 00:16:10.439
 or

00:16:10.439 --> 00:16:11.240
 technological

00:16:11.240 --> 00:16:12.100
 advances

00:16:12.100 --> 00:16:14.320
 but he

00:16:14.320 --> 00:16:15.139
 is highlighting

00:16:15.139 --> 00:16:16.000
 the absence

00:16:16.000 --> 00:16:16.779
 of any

00:16:16.779 --> 00:16:17.840
 real game

00:16:17.840 --> 00:16:18.439
 that these

00:16:18.439 --> 00:16:19.019
 inventions

00:16:19.019 --> 00:16:20.100
 provide us.

00:16:21.340 --> 00:16:22.220
 We often

00:16:22.220 --> 00:16:22.899
 hear those

00:16:22.899 --> 00:16:23.879
 words quoted

00:16:23.879 --> 00:16:24.480
 in verse

00:16:24.480 --> 00:16:25.159
 10 don't

00:16:25.159 --> 00:16:25.439
 we?

00:16:25.779 --> 00:16:26.500
 See this

00:16:26.500 --> 00:16:27.159
 is new

00:16:27.159 --> 00:16:28.779
 we hear

00:16:28.779 --> 00:16:29.480
 those words

00:16:29.480 --> 00:16:30.139
 all the

00:16:30.139 --> 00:16:30.600
 time

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:31.519
 every day

00:16:31.519 --> 00:16:33.000
 a new

00:16:33.000 --> 00:16:33.539
 car

00:16:33.539 --> 00:16:34.919
 a new

00:16:34.919 --> 00:16:35.620
 phone

00:16:35.620 --> 00:16:36.960
 a new

00:16:36.960 --> 00:16:37.440
 way of

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:37.960
 travel

00:16:37.960 --> 00:16:38.100
 travel

00:16:38.100 --> 00:16:40.060
 but the

00:16:40.060 --> 00:16:40.519
 very

00:16:40.519 --> 00:16:41.240
 repetition

00:16:41.240 --> 00:16:42.259
 of that

00:16:42.259 --> 00:16:42.780
 statement

00:16:42.780 --> 00:16:43.980
 every day

00:16:43.980 --> 00:16:45.519
 proves that

00:16:45.519 --> 00:16:46.379
 even new

00:16:46.379 --> 00:16:47.060
 things are

00:16:47.060 --> 00:16:47.720
 not really

00:16:47.720 --> 00:16:48.220
 new

00:16:48.220 --> 00:16:49.860
 they are

00:16:49.860 --> 00:16:50.900
 just updated

00:16:50.900 --> 00:16:51.780
 versions of

00:16:51.780 --> 00:16:52.280
 things that

00:16:52.280 --> 00:16:52.780
 we already

00:16:52.780 --> 00:16:53.400
 have

00:16:53.400 --> 00:16:55.660
 looking for

00:16:55.660 --> 00:16:56.480
 the genuinely

00:16:56.480 --> 00:16:57.860
 new under

00:16:57.860 --> 00:16:58.720
 the sun

00:16:58.720 --> 00:17:00.060
 is an

00:17:00.060 --> 00:17:00.600
 old

00:17:00.600 --> 00:17:01.360
 mistake

00:17:01.360 --> 00:17:03.180
 the man

00:17:03.180 --> 00:17:03.759
 who thinks

00:17:03.759 --> 00:17:04.120
 he has

00:17:04.120 --> 00:17:05.039
 found something

00:17:05.039 --> 00:17:05.700
 new

00:17:05.700 --> 00:17:07.380
 is actually

00:17:07.380 --> 00:17:08.020
 being

00:17:08.020 --> 00:17:08.600
 something

00:17:08.600 --> 00:17:09.100
 very

00:17:09.100 --> 00:17:09.760
 old

00:17:09.760 --> 00:17:12.280
 making

00:17:12.280 --> 00:17:12.960
 the same

00:17:12.960 --> 00:17:13.340
 old

00:17:13.340 --> 00:17:13.840
 mistake

00:17:13.840 --> 00:17:14.660
 of using

00:17:14.660 --> 00:17:15.480
 the new

00:17:15.480 --> 00:17:16.480
 to validate

00:17:16.480 --> 00:17:17.560
 our repetitive

00:17:17.560 --> 00:17:18.600
 existence

00:17:18.600 --> 00:17:20.520
 people do

00:17:20.520 --> 00:17:20.980
 that don't

00:17:20.980 --> 00:17:21.120
 they

00:17:21.120 --> 00:17:22.000
 I do

00:17:22.000 --> 00:17:22.420
 that

00:17:22.420 --> 00:17:23.880
 I love

00:17:23.880 --> 00:17:24.440
 the pleasure

00:17:24.440 --> 00:17:25.480
 of opening

00:17:25.480 --> 00:17:25.980
 a new

00:17:25.980 --> 00:17:26.500
 box

00:17:26.500 --> 00:17:27.340
 of something

00:17:27.340 --> 00:17:27.800
 that I've

00:17:27.800 --> 00:17:28.440
 just bought

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.200
 even if it's

00:17:30.200 --> 00:17:31.240
 just a table

00:17:31.240 --> 00:17:32.020
 a table

00:17:32.020 --> 00:17:32.760
 from Ikea

00:17:32.760 --> 00:17:33.820
 last Friday

00:17:33.819 --> 00:17:35.159
 and I love

00:17:35.159 --> 00:17:35.700
 that feeling

00:17:35.700 --> 00:17:36.480
 of opening

00:17:36.480 --> 00:17:37.119
 the new

00:17:37.119 --> 00:17:38.579
 smelling that

00:17:38.579 --> 00:17:39.599
 fresh pine

00:17:39.599 --> 00:17:40.159
 smell

00:17:40.159 --> 00:17:42.539
 people record

00:17:42.539 --> 00:17:43.439
 videos on

00:17:43.439 --> 00:17:43.879
 YouTube

00:17:43.879 --> 00:17:45.480
 of unboxing

00:17:45.480 --> 00:17:46.139
 stuff

00:17:46.139 --> 00:17:46.579
 don't they

00:17:46.579 --> 00:17:47.119
 have you seen

00:17:47.119 --> 00:17:47.460
 that

00:17:47.460 --> 00:17:48.960
 the thrill

00:17:48.960 --> 00:17:49.859
 of the new

00:17:49.859 --> 00:17:52.059
 because somehow

00:17:52.059 --> 00:17:53.019
 the new

00:17:53.019 --> 00:17:54.019
 validates

00:17:54.019 --> 00:17:55.259
 my existence

00:17:55.259 --> 00:17:57.639
 it helps me

00:17:57.639 --> 00:17:58.339
 feel like

00:17:58.339 --> 00:17:59.119
 I'm breaking

00:17:59.119 --> 00:18:00.039
 the repetition

00:18:00.039 --> 00:18:02.799
 a new

00:18:02.799 --> 00:18:03.319
 table

00:18:03.319 --> 00:18:05.619
 but the

00:18:05.619 --> 00:18:06.619
 preacher says

00:18:06.619 --> 00:18:07.819
 Chris

00:18:07.819 --> 00:18:08.500
 give me a

00:18:08.500 --> 00:18:08.940
 break

00:18:08.940 --> 00:18:10.700
 are you

00:18:10.700 --> 00:18:11.359
 serious

00:18:11.359 --> 00:18:13.879
 ideas

00:18:13.879 --> 00:18:14.980
 technology

00:18:14.980 --> 00:18:16.059
 fashions

00:18:16.059 --> 00:18:16.940
 ways of

00:18:16.940 --> 00:18:17.559
 ways of

00:18:17.559 --> 00:18:17.940
 thinking

00:18:17.940 --> 00:18:18.879
 the bad

00:18:18.879 --> 00:18:19.460
 and the

00:18:19.460 --> 00:18:19.980
 good

00:18:19.980 --> 00:18:21.079
 will

00:18:21.079 --> 00:18:21.659
 eventually

00:18:21.659 --> 00:18:22.440
 disappear

00:18:22.440 --> 00:18:24.740
 and reappear

00:18:24.740 --> 00:18:26.259
 and disappear

00:18:26.259 --> 00:18:27.960
 and reappear

00:18:27.960 --> 00:18:29.600
 and the

00:18:29.600 --> 00:18:29.960
 new

00:18:29.960 --> 00:18:30.500
 things of

00:18:30.500 --> 00:18:30.900
 today

00:18:30.900 --> 00:18:31.460
 will be

00:18:31.460 --> 00:18:31.700
 the

00:18:31.700 --> 00:18:32.140
 forgotten

00:18:32.140 --> 00:18:32.620
 things

00:18:32.620 --> 00:18:32.799
 of

00:18:32.799 --> 00:18:33.200
 tomorrow

00:18:33.200 --> 00:18:34.740
 and they

00:18:34.740 --> 00:18:35.079
 will be

00:18:35.079 --> 00:18:35.299
 the

00:18:35.299 --> 00:18:36.299
 hand-me-downs

00:18:36.299 --> 00:18:36.779
 of another

00:18:36.779 --> 00:18:37.680
 generation

00:18:37.680 --> 00:18:40.200
 he says

00:18:40.200 --> 00:18:40.640
 in verse

00:18:40.640 --> 00:18:40.980
 11

00:18:40.980 --> 00:18:41.559
 there is no

00:18:41.559 --> 00:18:42.100
 remembrance

00:18:42.100 --> 00:18:42.819
 of former

00:18:42.819 --> 00:18:43.400
 things

00:18:43.400 --> 00:18:44.860
 nor will

00:18:44.860 --> 00:18:45.519
 there be

00:18:45.519 --> 00:18:45.799
 any

00:18:45.799 --> 00:18:46.299
 remembrance

00:18:46.299 --> 00:18:46.920
 of later

00:18:46.920 --> 00:18:47.340
 things

00:18:47.340 --> 00:18:47.759
 yet to

00:18:47.759 --> 00:18:48.100
 be

00:18:48.100 --> 00:18:48.680
 among

00:18:48.680 --> 00:18:49.079
 those

00:18:49.079 --> 00:18:49.259
 who

00:18:49.259 --> 00:18:49.500
 come

00:18:49.500 --> 00:18:49.900
 after

00:18:49.900 --> 00:18:52.500
 amazingly

00:18:52.500 --> 00:18:53.220
 the Bible

00:18:53.220 --> 00:18:54.079
 tells us

00:18:54.079 --> 00:18:54.660
 that even

00:18:54.660 --> 00:18:55.420
 the works

00:18:55.420 --> 00:18:56.059
 of God

00:18:56.059 --> 00:18:56.519
 in this

00:18:56.519 --> 00:18:56.960
 world

00:18:56.960 --> 00:18:57.779
 can be

00:18:57.779 --> 00:18:58.259
 forgotten

00:18:58.259 --> 00:18:58.920
 by the

00:18:58.920 --> 00:18:59.160
 next

00:18:59.160 --> 00:18:59.840
 generation

00:18:59.840 --> 00:19:01.779
 even

00:19:01.779 --> 00:19:02.079
 the

00:19:02.079 --> 00:19:02.660
 miracles

00:19:02.660 --> 00:19:03.380
 of the

00:19:03.380 --> 00:19:04.120
 plagues

00:19:04.120 --> 00:19:04.500
 you know

00:19:04.500 --> 00:19:05.319
 that famous

00:19:05.319 --> 00:19:06.019
 story

00:19:06.019 --> 00:19:07.660
 and the

00:19:07.660 --> 00:19:08.079
 rescue

00:19:08.079 --> 00:19:08.480
 of the

00:19:08.480 --> 00:19:09.100
 Israelites

00:19:09.100 --> 00:19:10.720
 those

00:19:10.720 --> 00:19:11.079
 things

00:19:11.079 --> 00:19:11.480
 were

00:19:11.480 --> 00:19:12.039
 forgotten

00:19:12.039 --> 00:19:12.840
 just a

00:19:12.840 --> 00:19:13.100
 few

00:19:13.100 --> 00:19:13.759
 generations

00:19:13.759 --> 00:19:14.259
 later

00:19:14.259 --> 00:19:14.779
 by a

00:19:14.779 --> 00:19:15.079
 new

00:19:15.079 --> 00:19:15.579
 pharaoh

00:19:15.579 --> 00:19:16.759
 and a

00:19:16.759 --> 00:19:16.960
 new

00:19:16.960 --> 00:19:17.500
 generation

00:19:17.500 --> 00:19:17.720
 of

00:19:17.720 --> 00:19:18.279
 Egyptians

00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:20.720
 because

00:19:20.720 --> 00:19:21.120
 this

00:19:21.120 --> 00:19:21.640
 world

00:19:21.640 --> 00:19:22.000
 under

00:19:22.000 --> 00:19:22.259
 the

00:19:22.259 --> 00:19:22.579
 sun

00:19:22.579 --> 00:19:22.880
 is

00:19:22.880 --> 00:19:23.299
 simply

00:19:23.299 --> 00:19:23.519
 an

00:19:23.519 --> 00:19:23.860
 endless

00:19:23.860 --> 00:19:24.579
 cycle

00:19:24.579 --> 00:19:24.900
 of

00:19:24.900 --> 00:19:25.380
 same

00:19:25.380 --> 00:19:25.819
 old

00:19:25.819 --> 00:19:26.220
 same

00:19:26.220 --> 00:19:26.740
 old

00:19:26.740 --> 00:19:28.980
 and so

00:19:28.980 --> 00:19:29.180
 the

00:19:29.180 --> 00:19:29.559
 preacher

00:19:29.559 --> 00:19:30.240
 asks

00:19:30.240 --> 00:19:30.819
 therefore

00:19:30.819 --> 00:19:31.460
 what

00:19:31.460 --> 00:19:31.920
 is

00:19:31.920 --> 00:19:32.140
 the

00:19:32.140 --> 00:19:32.819
 point

00:19:32.819 --> 00:19:34.359
 what

00:19:34.359 --> 00:19:34.599
 is

00:19:34.599 --> 00:19:34.759
 the

00:19:34.759 --> 00:19:35.120
 point

00:19:35.120 --> 00:19:35.680
 really

00:19:35.680 --> 00:19:37.120
 in

00:19:37.120 --> 00:19:37.400
 verse

00:19:37.400 --> 00:19:37.799
 three

00:19:37.799 --> 00:19:38.819
 what's

00:19:38.819 --> 00:19:38.920
 the

00:19:38.920 --> 00:19:39.259
 point

00:19:39.259 --> 00:19:39.500
 of

00:19:39.500 --> 00:19:40.059
 toiling

00:19:40.059 --> 00:19:40.460
 and

00:19:40.460 --> 00:19:40.940
 achieving

00:19:40.940 --> 00:19:41.380
 and

00:19:41.380 --> 00:19:41.839
 developing

00:19:41.839 --> 00:19:43.059
 in a

00:19:43.059 --> 00:19:43.680
 repeated

00:19:43.680 --> 00:19:44.420
 world

00:19:44.420 --> 00:19:44.839
 with a

00:19:44.839 --> 00:19:45.220
 fading

00:19:45.220 --> 00:19:45.920
 people

00:19:45.920 --> 00:19:47.220
 full of

00:19:47.220 --> 00:19:47.740
 repeated

00:19:47.740 --> 00:19:48.559
 things

00:19:48.559 --> 00:19:51.079
 now do

00:19:51.079 --> 00:19:51.440
 you see

00:19:51.440 --> 00:19:51.859
 what the

00:19:51.859 --> 00:19:52.220
 preacher

00:19:52.220 --> 00:19:52.839
 is doing

00:19:52.839 --> 00:19:53.319
 here

00:19:53.319 --> 00:19:54.500
 as he

00:19:54.500 --> 00:19:55.019
 shows us

00:19:55.019 --> 00:19:55.720
 the reality

00:19:55.720 --> 00:19:56.120
 of the

00:19:56.120 --> 00:19:56.640
 world

00:19:56.640 --> 00:19:57.960
 he is

00:19:57.960 --> 00:19:58.400
 beginning

00:19:58.400 --> 00:19:58.759
 to

00:19:58.759 --> 00:19:59.400
 convince

00:19:59.400 --> 00:19:59.820
 us

00:19:59.820 --> 00:20:00.040
 that

00:20:00.040 --> 00:20:00.259
 our

00:20:00.259 --> 00:20:00.660
 love

00:20:00.660 --> 00:20:01.020
 for

00:20:01.020 --> 00:20:01.980
 change

00:20:01.980 --> 00:20:03.120
 and the

00:20:03.120 --> 00:20:03.540
 novel

00:20:03.540 --> 00:20:04.020
 and the

00:20:04.020 --> 00:20:04.400
 new

00:20:04.400 --> 00:20:05.180
 is not

00:20:05.180 --> 00:20:05.920
 the answer

00:20:05.920 --> 00:20:06.480
 to our

00:20:06.480 --> 00:20:07.160
 satisfaction

00:20:07.160 --> 00:20:07.880
 problem

00:20:07.880 --> 00:20:10.220
 we need

00:20:10.220 --> 00:20:10.960
 to understand

00:20:10.960 --> 00:20:11.360
 that there

00:20:11.360 --> 00:20:11.940
 is no

00:20:11.940 --> 00:20:12.759
 yellow brick

00:20:12.759 --> 00:20:13.320
 road

00:20:13.320 --> 00:20:14.700
 there is

00:20:14.700 --> 00:20:15.400
 no end

00:20:15.400 --> 00:20:15.740
 of the

00:20:15.740 --> 00:20:16.140
 rainbow

00:20:16.140 --> 00:20:17.880
 there is

00:20:17.880 --> 00:20:18.160
 no

00:20:18.160 --> 00:20:18.759
 somewhere

00:20:18.759 --> 00:20:19.280
 else

00:20:19.280 --> 00:20:19.700
 doing

00:20:19.700 --> 00:20:20.280
 something

00:20:20.280 --> 00:20:20.620
 else

00:20:20.620 --> 00:20:20.960
 being

00:20:20.960 --> 00:20:21.500
 something

00:20:21.500 --> 00:20:21.860
 else

00:20:21.860 --> 00:20:22.440
 there is

00:20:22.440 --> 00:20:22.680
 no

00:20:22.680 --> 00:20:23.300
 something

00:20:23.300 --> 00:20:23.920
 truly

00:20:23.920 --> 00:20:24.600
 new

00:20:24.600 --> 00:20:26.080
 that is

00:20:26.080 --> 00:20:26.640
 going to

00:20:26.640 --> 00:20:27.240
 make you

00:20:27.240 --> 00:20:27.740
 or me

00:20:27.740 --> 00:20:28.180
 happy

00:20:28.180 --> 00:20:28.900
 under the

00:20:28.900 --> 00:20:29.259
 sun

00:20:29.259 --> 00:20:31.500
 this is

00:20:31.500 --> 00:20:32.140
 the genuine

00:20:32.140 --> 00:20:33.039
 story of

00:20:33.039 --> 00:20:33.440
 the world

00:20:33.440 --> 00:20:34.140
 he says

00:20:34.140 --> 00:20:35.560
 so stop

00:20:35.560 --> 00:20:36.180
 believing

00:20:36.180 --> 00:20:37.060
 and trusting

00:20:37.060 --> 00:20:37.680
 in that

00:20:37.680 --> 00:20:38.640
 old saying

00:20:38.640 --> 00:20:40.160
 the old

00:20:40.160 --> 00:20:41.080
 old thing

00:20:41.080 --> 00:20:42.620
 see

00:20:42.620 --> 00:20:43.240
 something

00:20:43.240 --> 00:20:43.800
 new

00:20:43.800 --> 00:20:45.340
 don't

00:20:45.340 --> 00:20:45.740
 believe

00:20:45.740 --> 00:20:46.220
 that

00:20:46.220 --> 00:20:47.740
 don't

00:20:47.740 --> 00:20:48.520
 trust in

00:20:48.520 --> 00:20:49.040
 that

00:20:49.040 --> 00:20:50.259

00:20:50.259 --> 00:20:50.540
 you

00:20:50.540 --> 00:20:50.960
 happy

00:20:50.960 --> 00:20:53.800
 now

00:20:53.799 --> 00:20:54.919
 we could

00:20:54.919 --> 00:20:55.279
 be left

00:20:55.279 --> 00:20:55.599
 thinking

00:20:55.599 --> 00:20:56.000
 that our

00:20:56.000 --> 00:20:56.559
 tour guide

00:20:56.559 --> 00:20:57.240
 is just

00:20:57.240 --> 00:20:57.940
 a depressive

00:20:57.940 --> 00:20:59.399
 we've gone

00:20:59.399 --> 00:21:00.019
 on around

00:21:00.019 --> 00:21:00.859
 the world

00:21:00.859 --> 00:21:01.359
 tour

00:21:01.359 --> 00:21:01.759
 with

00:21:01.759 --> 00:21:02.099
 Leonard

00:21:02.099 --> 00:21:02.500
 Cohen

00:21:02.500 --> 00:21:04.200
 but

00:21:04.200 --> 00:21:04.960
 in his

00:21:04.960 --> 00:21:05.519
 realism

00:21:05.519 --> 00:21:06.839
 the preacher

00:21:06.839 --> 00:21:07.460
 actually

00:21:07.460 --> 00:21:08.240
 is the

00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:08.720
 ultimate

00:21:08.720 --> 00:21:09.579
 optimist

00:21:09.579 --> 00:21:10.740
 about life

00:21:10.740 --> 00:21:12.460
 because

00:21:12.460 --> 00:21:13.159
 secondly

00:21:13.159 --> 00:21:13.759
 and

00:21:13.759 --> 00:21:14.579
 more

00:21:14.579 --> 00:21:15.059
 briefly

00:21:15.059 --> 00:21:16.879
 the second

00:21:16.879 --> 00:21:17.339
 thing he

00:21:17.339 --> 00:21:17.740
 says

00:21:17.740 --> 00:21:18.240
 is

00:21:18.240 --> 00:21:19.500
 listen to

00:21:19.500 --> 00:21:20.180
 the joyful

00:21:20.180 --> 00:21:20.899
 story

00:21:20.899 --> 00:21:22.980
 there's a

00:21:22.980 --> 00:21:23.399
 genuine

00:21:23.400 --> 00:21:24.040
 story

00:21:24.040 --> 00:21:24.480
 about the

00:21:24.480 --> 00:21:24.800
 world

00:21:24.800 --> 00:21:25.160
 but there

00:21:25.160 --> 00:21:25.700
 is also

00:21:25.700 --> 00:21:26.440
 joy

00:21:26.440 --> 00:21:27.600
 in the

00:21:27.600 --> 00:21:28.080
 world

00:21:28.080 --> 00:21:29.280
 and

00:21:29.280 --> 00:21:29.759
 this

00:21:29.759 --> 00:21:30.320
 part

00:21:30.320 --> 00:21:30.700
 of his

00:21:30.700 --> 00:21:31.100
 message

00:21:31.100 --> 00:21:31.540
 comes

00:21:31.540 --> 00:21:31.759
 in

00:21:31.759 --> 00:21:32.160
 another

00:21:32.160 --> 00:21:32.780
 refrain

00:21:32.780 --> 00:21:33.180
 that

00:21:33.180 --> 00:21:33.580
 comes

00:21:33.580 --> 00:21:34.060
 through

00:21:34.060 --> 00:21:34.980
 ecclesiastes

00:21:34.980 --> 00:21:35.680
 from time

00:21:35.680 --> 00:21:36.320
 to time

00:21:36.320 --> 00:21:38.320
 there is

00:21:38.320 --> 00:21:38.640
 this

00:21:38.640 --> 00:21:39.200
 life

00:21:39.200 --> 00:21:39.860
 under the

00:21:39.860 --> 00:21:40.259
 sun

00:21:40.259 --> 00:21:40.980
 idea

00:21:40.980 --> 00:21:42.500
 but there

00:21:42.500 --> 00:21:43.000
 is also

00:21:43.000 --> 00:21:43.920
 enjoyment

00:21:43.920 --> 00:21:44.940
 under the

00:21:44.940 --> 00:21:45.240
 sun

00:21:45.240 --> 00:21:45.600
 which

00:21:45.600 --> 00:21:46.200
 is a

00:21:46.200 --> 00:21:46.560
 gift

00:21:46.560 --> 00:21:47.019
 from

00:22:05.519 --> 00:22:05.740
 just

00:22:05.740 --> 00:22:06.000
 said

00:22:06.000 --> 00:22:06.299
 there is

00:22:06.299 --> 00:22:06.620
 nothing

 gain

00:22:36.660 --> 00:22:37.200
 something

00:22:37.200 --> 00:22:37.560
 by

 it

00:22:39.080 --> 00:22:39.259

 we

00:22:39.560 --> 00:22:39.880
 think

 we've

00:22:40.240 --> 00:22:40.660
 gained

00:22:43.160 --> 00:22:43.380
 we

00:22:43.380 --> 00:22:43.600
 will
