Preface

Ecclesiastes 3:1 says To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.

As far as this world is concerned, there are always two seasons. Examples of such seasons include those mentioned in Genesis 8:22 – seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, day and night.

Also in Ecclesiastes 3:2-8, some of these times are highlighted. They include a time to be born and a time to die; a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted…a time to get and a time to lose; a time to keep and a time to cast away…a time to love and a time to hate etc.

These times and seasons always come in pairs; but they do not occur simultaneously. That is, no two seasons or times can occur together at the same time. They always follow each other. For instance, it is not possible for day and night to co-exist; nor is it possible for planting and harvesting to coincide. The duration of occurrence may be long or short depending on the forces controlling them; however, they can only occur in succession.

How then does this apply to man?

The abode of man is ‘under the heaven’ and as a result, according to the earlier quoted Ecclesiastes 3:1, all men are under the influence of these times and seasons whether they are conscious of it or not. As long as men continue to exist ‘under the heaven’, they are bound to experience these times and seasons at one point or the other in their lifetime.

The truth however is some of these seasons could be very frustrating and unpalatable; they are mostly better imagined than experienced. At these times, people find themselves asking all manners of questions; like ‘Why Me?’ Why did God allow this to happen to me?’ a mong others.

But you can be sure God always has answers to man’s questions; and that is what this book is offering you – God’s response to your questions.

Remember He is the Beginning and the Ending. May you hear His voice as you prayerfully, diligently and meditatively consider the following case studies in Jesus’ Name. Amen.

Surely there is an End!
