Ecclesiastes
The introduction below is from
Chuck Smith's Old Testament Study Guide,
available from all good Christian bookshops (contact
DCF
for details):
The book of
Ecclesiastes deals with the natural man searching for
meaning in life. The word Jehovah is not used in this book.
He did refer to God, the Eloyhim, but not to Jehovah God in
the sense that a person can know God. Solomon referred to
God as a worldly man speaks: as a force, a power, a title –
the Eloyhim.
First Kings
chapter 11 gives a background for the observations that
Solomon made in Ecclesiastes: “King Solomon loved many
strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women
of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and
Hittities; and of the nations concerning which the LORD had
said to the children of Israel, You shall not go into them,
neither shall they come unto you: for surely they will turn
away your heart after their Gods: Solomon clave unto these
in love” – and his wives turned his heart away from God.
In
reflecting on his disobedience to God, Solomon wrote this
book. So at the end of Solomon’s life, he looked back at all
he had done and realized that the only fruitfulness and
meaning in life comes from being in an obedient relationship
with God. That is wisdom.
