ECCLESIASTES and THE SONG OF SOLOMON Jeanne Gossett Halsey

"That which has been is that which will be, and that which has been done is that which will be done. So there is nothing new under the Sun. Is there anything of which one might say, 'See this, it is new'? Already it has existed for ages, which were before us." (Ecclesiastes 1:9-10; emphasis added) I would like like to say to Solomon: "Surprise! For the first time in Human History, this axiom is not true. In 2020 (a cool 3,000 years since your lifetime), for the first time in Human History, the whole world has ground to a stop because of a rogue biological warfare virus which was released upon Humanity: COVID-19. Yes, we've had plagues circulate throughout the 'known' world several times, but none with the enormous economic impact that we are witnessing today. Since struggle is important for people to improve themselves, Solomon, old buddy, let's see you apply your supernatural Wisdom to fixing this situation!"
