Then Qohelet turns and ponders events in front of God. The word “everything” in 3:11 continues the thought of “everything” in 3:1. The point of 3:11 is that God makes everything, even events that occur through human activity, happen in its proper time.

All…

School Vs. Prison Genre Although some people may argue the fact that prison and school films are unrelated in every way, I am here to argue the fact that these two genres are similar in many ways that some might not be able to point out for themselves.

The story is basically a mix of Greek and other dialectics.
