How This Book In The Bible Changed My Life 

You went from skateboarding to philosophy to self-improvement to being a christian. Orlando I've been following you for years and the fact that your kinda blowing up on RU-vid is great. You deserve it. Your videos always had the sense that you were just trying to figure out life and showing the progress. You have truly become a digital philosopher. You are a reminder that life is worth living🙏

Ecclesiastes may seem like the most depressing book in the Bible to most. But to me it’s the most SOBERING book in the Bible. It keeps me from being obsessed with the world and the things it offers, and to rather desire the things that will never pass away; God and His words.

This video made me realize how beautiful some of the books in the Bible are. Sometimes I just read and never really take in what is said. Thank you for this I now realize how powerful Ecclesiasties actually is.

I agree Ecclesiastes saved my life, and was the stepping stone to my salvation in 2020. Glory to God for his loving mercy on me, a sinner. 🙏🏽

Christ is Risen!

Ecclesiastes is my FAVORITE book of the Bible!

Ive been studying the bible for 25 years and this touched my heart.

Totally agree. This book is underrated! Reading it helps me to avoid traps in my thinking. Yeah, this world is screwed up and ultimately we just live, die and are forgotten about. It does sound nihilistic at first, and without the eternal life we have been given in Christ it could be depressing. But to me, understanding this message frees me to just try to love God and enjoy the simple things in life, because really, that’s what we have to enjoy!

Honestly, this video just randomly showed up in my feed and I have to say thank you for making this video and pointing all this out, especially talking about the anger you feel at injustice, because it's *exactly* how I feel and it's becoming unbearable. I will definitely look into Ecclesiastes more deeply after this video. Seriously, thank you.

I love Ecclesiastes! He sounds pessimistic but he gives good wisdom! What I recieved my second time is that: Live well! Eat well! We will die anyway, so enjoys the day that God gives us. And Fear God & keeps his commandment for this is the whole duty of man. Amen 🙏🏾 And you described it so well!! Thank you!! God bless you!! Let's live a life knowing that Jesus overcame death at the cross

Ecclesiastes always made me think how much people need to be told about Jesus. I’ll keep these things you said in mind next time I end up there.

Life is based on time and chance but with God you stand a better chance.

When you mentioned how God knew we would feel this way and put Ecclesiastes in the Bible for that reason, I never thought about it that way

Orlando, I have much appreciation for your honest videos. At 60 years old, you are reminding me of things I learned long ago but have lost in the chaos of life. Blessings to you.

By far, Ecclesiastes has always been my favorite book of the bible. It's a paradox; it knows it contradicts itself and at first glance, one would wonder why something so pessimistic is in the bible. But like one of its main themes, nothing matters. We all die, one way or another. We grow old. Sitting in a bus earlier today, thinking over all the problems I'm facing, and then I see an elderly woman on the bus. It hit me that whatever problems she faced when she was my age, 22, probably don't affect her as much now that her hair's all white and her skin's wrinkled. While I don't know her, and I'm not judging her, her presence reminded me that we often get so stuck in our minds, our hearts, our circumstances, that in reality, it doesn't matter. So why is it in the bible? Because while it does say nothing matters, nothing is ever new, anything new becomes old, Ecclesiastes chooses to hope. In the face of reality, of the facts, Ecclesiastes chose God. Who goes beyond anything and everything.

I think sometimes the most powerful thing is to be told the very thing that our soul already knows but can’t put into words or can’t explain. We are often told that life is good, enjoy it. But yet there are many things that happen in life that are incredibly disappointing, evil, unjust, and tragic. But if we are told that life is good without being able to acknowledge that there is a whole lot of bad, it can drive us crazy. Ecclesiastes gives it to us straight, no chaser. No qualification. Life is hard and then you die. But God gives us things to enjoy while we are here but in the end, those things are meaningless. In the end, God’s commandments are the only meaningful thing. Our hope is in the kingdom to come where all things are restored and justice goes forth and righteousness fills the earth. For now, we labor and toil. Just being able to hear that message and acknowledge how undesirable this world is can be incredibly helpful.

Ecclesiastes is also my favorite book of the Bible. It sounds so depressing but actually gives me so much hope

Fear God and keep His commandments! ❤

I am so shocked cuz I was literally so angry at God and was argueing with him abt his fairness then this came. This is my sign to read Ecclesiastic. Be blessed❤

Thank you man for this. It reminds me of Jeff Allen's testimony - he was an atheist who converted to Christianity from listening to teachings on Ecclesiastes.

One thing that helped me in reading the book of Ecclesiastes is understanding that everything is meaningless does not mean that everything is pointless. There’s a huge difference between the two which can help clear up what the teacher is saying. Amen ❤️

One of my absolute favorite books in the Bible...It's so liberating

The Father gave me a revelation of peace and calling back to relationship with your message. Grace and peace to you bro

I love Ecclesiastes. Read this book then read JOB. they parallel each other a lot. Both coming to the same conclusions. We are only men and we cannot know the mind of GOD so just trust him. Do your best to follow his commandments and just have faith that HE will take care of you. The faith of a child

Beautiful!!!! I've just discovered the beauty and truth and saving grace found in the Bible and have yet to read Ecclesiastes, thank you for this introduction to it!!!!

In Bible college we were given assignment on Ecclesiastes. We labour a week on this book but also could not come up with the clarity which person in video did. It really made much sense now than.

Wow! I was reading Ecclesiastes last week and I was so blessed with those words and now this video appeared to me and it’s amazing. Thank you for this reminder that we can trust God because even when life doesn’t feel right, He is always right. God bless you🙏🏻

Life is unfair BUT we're so Lucky to have God to pick us up EVERY TIME 🙏🏼 ‭ When times are good, be happy; but when times are bad, consider this: God has made the one as well as the other. Ecclesiastes 7:14 NIV‬ Seek Him.. Amen

Ecclesiastes is an incredible book. Truly the guide to help enter the fear of the Lord if you want to live this life. Ecc 12:13

I read Ecclesiastes in a period of my life were I was with a lot of questions about everything. I remember that pessimism was with me in every thought and question. It was a lot about life, God, me, my family, my future. And when I read it, it was the Lord telling me in my ear: It's okay to have questions. I believe that times of reflection must be lived with God to obtain fruit from them. If someone is struggling with time remember this: That which is, already has been; that which is to be, already has been; and God seeks what has been driven away (Chapter 3 verse 15). Don't forget that God identifies himself as "I Am Who I Am" so HE IS. (John 17:5, Colossians 1:17, 2 Peter 3:8)

I came across a few of your videos lately and love your humility and love for Christ. I'm a Catholic and I am subscribing to you. Thank you brother.

New subscriber here. I'm a Christian but admit I haven't spent much time reading this book of the Bible but I'm going to now. Thank you and thank you for your testimony. Blessings.

Such a powerful voice!

I had the same journey. Street dude -> Philosophy -> inspiration and self-resiliency -> Christianity. It was Proverbs and Ecclesiastes give me guidance and perspective in many ways. It was journey from age 14-18. We can find it through our lens but through God we can!

Great video! 👏🏽 Ecclesiastes serves a reminder of our humanly condition, trying to navigate life through our own understanding but failing to realize its purpose which is to fear God and follow his will. That’s why it tells us everything is meaningless because apart from God all that striving and trying to collect material possessions is a chasing after the wind it’s not possible to grasp forever because all that will stay behind and we will die. For dust you are and to dust you shall go Ecclesiastes communicates that the beginning of wisdom is fear of the Lord, without him we are nothing & anything besides that is pointless.

You’re incredible, God truly shines in you. Thank you for this word.

Dude same thing happened to me last August/September. I was in a pit of anger and sadness and I started to listen to Ecclesiastes on audio and it had me shook. I listened to it multiple times and it slowly helped me out of the deranged place that I was in.

The message of enjoying what God put here for us to enjoy was huge for me. A lot of Christian messaging is about not “wasting” your life by frittering away time on leisure. However, God does mean for us to have rest and enjoyment. Christian service to others doesn’t mean saying yes to everything and working yourself to the bone. Ecclesiastes has a balance to it that is really beautiful.

Also one of my favorite books in the Bible, with some of the deepest truths about the human experience and the world. Solid Video!

Thank you brother

Ecclesiastes is like tough love. You may feel bad about what it says, but that's the truth. You will feel bad, sad or any other feeling and it's okay. When i read it first, it was shocking. The second time I read it was humbling. This book is a reminder of what will happen or what happened God still is with you working in your life. Just trust in him and walk in faith.

Praise God for this video I loved the concepts you put out. Also you have an amazing voice bro. Thanks for the video.

God bless you, brother
