since time was short, it might not be consumed in bearing the wrath of God but be spent in peace and. None of the sons of men are made in vain for they are all made for the glory of God, which end is answered, some way or another, in everyone of them either in the salvation of them by Christ, or in the just destruction of them through their own sin and though the time of life is short, and afflictions many, yet men are not made in vain, and especially those of them who believe in Christ for, for them to live is Christ, they live to his glory: whether they live a longer or shorter time, they live to the Lord and when they die, they die to him and their afflictions are always for good, temporal, or spiritual, and eternal: indeed, if there was no future state after this, men might seem to be made in vain, and there might be some reason for such a question or complaint but so it is not there is an immortal life and state after this, either of bliss or woe: also, if there was no such thing as the redemption, justification, and salvation of any of the sons of men, through the sufferings and death of Christ, and which could not be without his resurrection from the dead, with a view to which the question is put, then there would seem some room for it but there is a redemption of them, and therefore are not made in vain and Christ, who was delivered for their offences, is risen for their justification.

If you are a fan of bands like INCUBUS, LINKIN PARK, PANIC AT THE DISCO and 30 SECONDS TO MARS, you need to hear this album as for me personally NOTHING MORE has trumped all of them. In this world man's time here is fixed, and it is but a short time his life is but a vapour, which appeareth for a little while his days are as an hand's breadth they pass away like a tale that is told the common term of life is but threescore years and ten, and few arrive to that: to know and observe this is proper and useful it may awaken a concern for a future state, excite to a vigorous discharge of duty, and animate to patience under afflictions: the clause in connection with the preceding verse seems to be a plea for mercy that, since time was short, it might not be consumed in bearing the wrath of God but be spent in peace and comfort, like that of ( Job 10:20 ) : Compare with this ( Psalms 103:13-15 ), the Targum is, Video clip and lyrics The Few Not Fleeting by Nothing More.
