Ecclesiastes 3:2

"A time to give birth, and. time to die;"

And everything else happens between these two events. And we might even do all we can to make sure that we don't have any more children, but surprises do happen. And how many grandparents do we know who have ended up raising their grandchildren? People may boast that they are going to cheat death or refuse to come to their own funeral, but death is something that cannot be avoided (Hebrews 9:27;. Cor. Ecclesiastes 15:22).

Ecclesiastes 3:2 "A time to plant, and. time to uproot what is planted.""Uproot" might refer to harvesting, but probably more refers to cutting down trees, clearing land, ripping out the old landscaping, etc…Everything has. beginning and an end--- eventually even the physical universe will be uprooted (Hebrews 1:10-12; 2 Peter 3:9-11). And if man doesn't uproot, the natural forces of this world will, i.e. floods, forest fires, landslides, etc….And this pattern cannot be stopped, something that some environmental groups need to come to terms with.
