In Ecclesiastes, chapter four, verse one, “So I returned, and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.” Looking around at the world that was rejecting God’s ways, Solomon saw oppression everywhere, and the oppressed had no comforter. It is still true that there is much oppression in the world, but comfort is available, for our God is “the God of all comfort,” as in Second Corinthians one, verse three. God the Father comforted His people in the Old Testament times when they looked to Him, as in Psalm eighty-six, verse seventeen, and Isaiah fifty-one, verses three and twelve. Jesus brought comfort and healing while on earth in Matthew nine, verse twenty-two, and the Holy Spirit was promised as another comforter, as in John fourteen, verse six. Believers are instructed to comfort one another, as in First Thessalonians five, verse eleven, “Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.” The comforter is the Holy Spirit, also known as the Holy Ghost, as in John fourteen, verse twenty-six. “But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” The theme verse serves as an example to those who do not commit to or reject Him, who are oppressed by the evil one. “For these things I weep; mine eye, mine eye runneth down with water, because the comforter that should relieve my soul is far from me: my children are desolate, because the enemy prevailed,” in Lamentations one, verse sixteen.
