“There is nothing new under the sun.” — Ecclesiastes

As every thing is unique and everchanging, there is nothing new as newness doesn’t differentiate one thing from another.

There is nothing new as there are no things; just the Everything.  The Everything is timeless, not old or new.

There is nothing new under the sun as the unchanging essence of all things is light. In Genesis, “In the beginning…God said, ‘Let there be light’, and there was light.” Everything else is a derivative of light or an illusion.
