A time to break down, and a time to build up: what time are we in today?

The Wisdom of the Qohelet applied by Jesus and Paul One of the last books to be written in the Old Testament is Ecclesiastes. Scholars say that it was written during the Persian period (when Israel was under Persian captivity) or even later than that, maybe during the Hellenistic period (which was close to the time of Jesus). I mention the date here because it shows that the book is a pinnacle of Hebrew wisdom, written after reflecting on the history of Israel. It’s a reflection on all the good stuff that has come before. It famously begins with the utterance that everything is meaningless, but chapter three is more measured. In it, the teacher, or the Qohelet says there is a time for everything.
