Question

Short summary of the poem 'For Everything There is a season '

Answer 1

The poetry describes the way in which God has created order and organization for all things. "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven:" - and then the Teacher gives examples of the opposites that have been arranged by God. The point is to prove how little influence humanity has in the events of life. God has ordered the passage of time and the activities that are to take place with the different stages of a person's life, the different seasons of weather, the different types of relationships between nations. "a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot,...a time for war and a time for peace."
The unstated good news or reassurance that comes out of the poem is that God is in control. Life is not chaos - there is order and reason. Humans have little control over the changes of time, but they can strive to accept them as part of God's plan.
