I absolutely love this line at the end, it really sums up the book well: "What is the meaning of life? Fear God and keep his commandments. And we do this not by chasing after the wind, but by running after Jesus."

Its also funny how the symbolism of "chasing the wind" could be taken in many different way. Especially since the devil was given the title of the prince of the spirit of the wind.

Amen... humbling ourselves before the Throne of God... Where Christ is seated... upon the Mercy Seat... in His HOLINESS for it is the GOODNESS OF GOD that leads a man to repentance for it brings to Light, the darkness... and absolute beauty brings ugliness to shame Like when I was on a drug comedown and my nephew & niece were climbing all over me, showering me with love and affection, wanting to play games with me... and i could give them nothing, i had nothing to give them... i was dead inside... yet they didn't relent and their lovingkindness pierced my heart... I ran into the bathroom, locked the door and wept over myself and cried out to the Lord to save me and he did... as he always has... and always will do

Ecclesiastes is my favourite book of the bible. Because its message is: Without God, the humans have no worth or meaning. Obey God, obey the highest idea: Love.

No, you're wrong. We don't obey or embrace a mere idea and think it is Christianity. Christianity is all about Jesus Christ. Therefore, love is not an idea, but the actual entity of a Divine Being. The summary of every aspect of God's attributes is in one sentence, "God is love", "Love Divine, all loves excelling...", as a hymn says. God has Himself manifested in the second Person of the Trinity, Jesus. If your definition for love is nothing more than a human idea, I guarantee you that it's not from the Bible.

I know most people don’t like Ecclesiastes, but to me it is one of the most comforting books. When we feel that our earthly pursuits are meaningless, Ecclesiastes says, “Yes, they are.” It doesn’t give us false hope. Instead, it tells us to enjoy the world’s gifts well in moderation, but it points forward to Someone else we ought to center our lives around, not someone under the sun, Someone who steers the sun and brings solidity to our vaporous existence

My favorite book of the Bible, honestly. This tiny little book brought me back from Atheism. Before, I barely even knew the book existed; seems to be woefully under-taught and under-talked about. So much of what the book talks about is what originally drove me away from the church; imagine how shocked I was that there was a book of the Bible that addressed my exact inner monologue that was causing me to lose my faith! Like it was written just for me.

my favorite book of the Bible too. shocked me to see that so much of what i was feeling, thinking and doing was in there. made so much sense of things. perfect book for intellectuals and non-believers. helped me stop going in circles with reading all sorts of philosophy, helped with some depression too. i think it would help many people come to the faith if it was talked about more.

I also love this book. For most years of my life I read Ecclesiastes, this book gave me purpose.

The whole Bible was about Jesus the whole time and I didn’t even notice

This book is my favorite out the entire bible thus far. I was at a dark space and did not see the point of life. We all going to die. However, after reading the book of Ecclesiastes everything make sense. Life without God is vein and pointless. Without God and putting him first you are just living of the world. You are blinded by what you think is happiness. God is happiness. He is the one you want to impress not man.

Please, believing Jesus is not self-centered but Christ-centered. It's not about our feelings or emotions, but the Truth. No one can impress God, nor does anyone need to impress God. God's people receive faith by grace through Jesus Christ, who shed His blood to pay all the debts sinners owe God so we can be reconciled to/ accepted by Him. Scripture provides all the answers. Diligently seek Him, and you will find. As Jesus promised, "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and you shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you."

Absolutely beautiful Ecclesiastes 12:13 "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man" I preached this message to all in attendance just two weeks ago at my Dad's funeral service. He is in Heaven with Jesus because he Trusted Him as his Savior.

One theory I've heard about the authorship of ecclesiates is that Solomon wrote it at the end of his life. After he had spent his riches on extravagant living and his time with that day's wife, when he had dedicated himself to what he wanted and ultimately deserted God in many ways, he wrote that life without God is vain. Basically, Solomon wrote his portion of Proverbs at the beginning of his reign, Song of Solomon (Song of Songs) towards the middle of his reign (as he was collecting wives), and ecclesiastes at the end of his reign to document the lessons he learned. While this makes no difference in the actual meaning of the text, I do think I makes sense and adds a level of genuineness that, for me at least, makes eccelesiastes even more meaningful. Also, remember that this is a theory based on historical records and extrapolation from other sources. The only way to know with complete surety is to build a time machine, and the changing of the author makes no difference in the meaning and interpretation of the text. I just wanted to put that out there because I think it's a pretty interesting fun fact.

Thank you so much for giving me a more clear perspective of my current study of Ecclesiastes. It tends to read heavy and you gave it a lightness❤️

Our work in God is eternal and does not end after we die. Thank you so much for this summary and exposition.

Thank God for people like you whom the Lord has used to make things clear for us.
