Ecclesiastes 8:7

"If no one knows what will happen, who can tell him when it will happen?"

Points To Note:

1 Once again we are confronted with the point that no human being can predict the future, or even the timing of events that we know the future holds. 2. This is one more reason why we need God and His wisdom, because this life is so unpredictable. 3. In addition, the sinner never knows actually when God's judgment will come upon him or her (Proverbs 24:22; Ecclesiastes 28:1;. Thess. Ecclesiastes 5:2-3; Luke 12:20-21). "the evil man's suffering is compounded because he knows neither when he will be punished nor what will be his punishment" (Kidwell p. 204).
