If there is no God to judge the world, then human existence is a pointless litigation that ends in meaningless despair. The teacher who wrote Ecclesiastes would have agreed. From the beginning of his book he has been saying that if there is no God, there is on meaning. Nothing matters. But that is not the conclusion that the teacher comes to. Instead, he concludes that there is a God who will judge, not only the world, but everyone who lives in it, and if that’s the case far from life being “meaningless” every single breath we breath and action we take is filled with eternal meaning and significance.
