Open sidebar Cyclical Nature of Life  What bible verses imply "what has been shall be, and what shall be has been" ChatGPT The phrase "what has been shall be, and what shall be has been" is not explicitly found in the Bible. However, there are several verses that convey similar concepts of the cyclical nature of life or the idea that history repeats itself. Here are a few verses that convey similar themes: Ecclesiastes 1:9: "What has been will be again, what has been done will be done again; there is nothing new under the sun." Ecclesiastes 3:15: "Whatever is has already been, and what will be has been before; and God will call the past to account." Ecclesiastes 9:14-15: "There was a small city with few people in it. And a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it. Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man." These verses from the book of Ecclesiastes highlight the cyclical nature of life and events, emphasizing that what has happened in the past will happen again in the future. They also express the idea that despite the repetitive nature of life, wisdom and the lessons of the past can still be valuable. It's important to note that the book of Ecclesiastes is considered wisdom literature and should be interpreted within its broader context. Free Research Preview.
