One generation passes away, and another generation comes: but the earth abides forever.
All Commentaries on Ecclesiastes 1:4 Go To Ecclesiastes 1
Ambrose of Milan
AD 397
By the will of God, therefore, the earth remains immovable. “The earth stands forever,” according to Ecclesiastes, yet it is moved and nods according to the will of God. It does not therefore continue to exist because based on its own foundations. It does not stay stable because of its own props. The Lord established it by the support of his will, because “in his hand are all the ends of the earth.” The simplicity of this faith is worth all the proffered proofs. .
