Cast thy bread upon the waters: for thou shalt find it after many days./Give a portion to seven, and also to eight; for thou knowest not what evil shall be upon the earth." Here the Spirit sets a parable where the Will of the Father desires the Son to find out for himself how the lost shall be found. There is joy in heaven over it. " Likewise, I say unto you, there is joy in the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth." ( Lk 15.7-10) The parable of Jesus of the lost sheep would find the truth of it while he was hung up on a cross,"And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us./ But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation? And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss./ And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom./And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, Today shalt thou be with me in paradise."(Lk.23.39-43)
In v.5 the Preacher admits of not knowing the way of the Spirit, 'thou knowest not what is the way of the spirit' he makes his own conclusions The Spirit is however instructing us, a simple example is with the numbers used in the key verse. The command number Seven refers to the saints called under the everlasting Covenant. The number 8 however refers to the souls in prison after death or slain under law of sin and death, it is besides the point. Jesus did not die in vain but he had to take the gospel of his Father to the lower parts as well. The Four and twenty elders are set before the throne of God as a memorial by the Word. 24 is made up of 3x8 and God had foreseen in his perfect and complete will and only by his obedience and faith Jesus of Nazareth received a name above all. (Phi.2.9-11)"Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name."
