Words of Wisdom by King Solomon

Tweet

Have you read the book of Ecclesiastes? There are many scriptures in the Bible that show that it must have been written under inspiration by God as they seem to come from Someone who knows so much more than the scientists of the time when the Bible was written. Here Solomon talks about how the water cycles in Ecclesiastes 1:7 (New International Version) . [b]"All streams flow into the sea, yet the sea is never full. To the place the streams come from, there they return again."[/b] He also shows what happens us when we die - Ecclesiastes 9:10 "Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might, for in the realm of the dead, where you are going, there is neither working nor planning nor knowledge nor wisdom." We can clearly see when we read the whole Bible, that those who wrote it, including Solomon, all believed in a resurrection from the death. Some of the writings in this book may sound pessimistic, but it is interesting to read the conclusion in the end of the book, chapter 12 [b]"13 Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. 14 For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil."[/b] What have you found in the book of Ecclesiastes?
