The Same Breath



Ecclesiastes 3:19-21 (NASB Strong's)

19 For the fate of the sons of men and the fate of beasts is the same. As one dies so dies the other; indeed, they all have the same breath and there is no advantage for man over beast, for all is vanity. 20 All go to the same place. All came from the dust and all return to the dust. 21 Who knows that the breath of man ascends upward and the breath of the beast descends downward to the earth?


The breath of life is the same for men and beasts. Both come from the dust of the earth. The full destiny of the life of man is realized by his ascent into heaven. The destiny of the life of a beast lies in the dust of the earth. 


Everyone who does not reach for the life above will share in the return to dust.
