A time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;
All Commentaries on Ecclesiastes 3:5 Go To Ecclesiastes 3
Gregory The Dialogist
AD 604
According to Solomon’s words, there is “a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them.” Because the end of the world presses upon us, it is necessary to gather living stones for the heavenly building, in order to make our Jerusalem grow to its full stature.
