Ecclesiastes - An Overview (Part 2) : The Inevitability of Death
On any given day, approximately 155,000 people worldwide die. This works out to about 56.5 million people every year. Some deaths are peaceful and others violent and tragic. Some die of disease, lack of necessities and others of old age; some die at the hands of another person, some by accident or of a natural disaster. Death is a hard thing. It brings much sorrow and pain to our lives and cuts so many lives short. It is the one thing all of us have in common.
